Tyffix

"My Master taught me that to fight like a warrior—to think like a conqueror—was the only way I'd survive."

―Cal^[2]

Tyffix was a Gand Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars. In 21 BBY, Tyffix and their Padawan, Cal, were dispatched to lead a Republic clone trooper force on the planet Thustra when the world's populace attempted to secede from the Republic. Shortly after arriving on the planet, the Republic forces were attacked by the native Sephi, and Tyffix was killed when a suicide bomber destroyed the Republic command center.

Biography

"The Sephi have tanks here… and here."
"Master Tyffix, have your men fall back from the outer—"

―A clone officer and Tyr, moments before the command center explodes^[2]

While a Jedi Master, Tyffix took Cal (pictured) as their Padawan.

A Force-sensitive Gand, Tyffix was a member of the Jedi Order who held the rank of Jedi Master during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.^[2] Forced to wear a breath mask in order to survive in an oxygen-rich atmosphere,^[3] Tyffix selected the young Human Cal as their Padawan, training the youth to think like a warrior.^[2]

In 21 BBY,^[1] Tyffix and Cal were part of a Republic task force sent to the planet Thustra when the native Sephi population wanted to secede from the Republic. What was originally planned to be a show of force soon turned into a bloody battle, in which Sephi suicide bombers inflicted heavy casualties on the Republic troops. While discussing strategy with fellow Jedi Master Tyr and a clone officer inside the Republic command center, Tyffix was victim to the Sephi tactics when a suicide bomber destroyed the command tent, killing all present except Tyr's Padawan, Pix, whom her Master had Force-pushed out of the tent before the explosion. Cal saw the explosion from afar and called out for his master. Cal and Pix then sent a message to the Jedi and Republic on^[2] the planet^[3] Coruscant informing them of Tyffix and Tyr's deaths and calling for help.^[2]
