Sta-Den Eekin was a Klatooinian male Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order during the final years of the Galactic Republic. In 22 BBY, Eekin was part of a strike team, consisting of 200 Jedi Knights, that was sent to the planet Geonosis, where fellow Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi was scheduled to be executed after he was captured by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Eekin was killed during the rescue attempt, which sparked the galaxy-wide Clone Wars.
