Bastilla was born on the planet Falleen in the capital city. She was found with force abilities when she was a baby. Bastilla was trained by the Jedi until she was fourteen. She later left to live with her father. She did not give into the lies of the Jedi. Her father, who was a good mechanic made many types of lightsabers. Not powerful enough however, because the crystals were in poor condition. During that time she made many types of weapons in her father's workshop. At first Bastilla used her lightsaber from the Academy. Once Bastilla became the age of 18 she became a bounty hunter. In her many travels she ran into a Selkath that went by the name Vandar. Bastilla and Vandar went on many journeys together and later join the Sith Council together to become a Sith.
