Jedi Padawan Nissha Tarkash was a direct descendant of Dorman Tarkash and the daughter of Norun Tarkash and Kaela Moruun. Her father took her as his first Padawan in 11 ABY, and trained Nissha for seven years, until he was mortally wounded in a fight with Zaara Archin in 18 ABY, where Nissha, Aldar Melron, and Mira Keen also participated. With his last breath, he asked Aldar Melron to continue Nissha's training. Aldar promised to do so and Nissha became Aldar's second Padawan.
