- "Alone for a Jedi is sometimes the only way."
- ―Lorana Jinzler
Lorana Jinzler was a Human female Jedi Knight, born on the planet Coruscant in 49 BBY, and was the former Padawan of Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth. Jinzler, alongside Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker, were instrumental in uncovering the conspiracy plot to sabotage the negotiations of a mining dispute and assassinate the negotiators, which included her own master.
After the successful mission on Barlok, Jinzler was promoted to Jedi Knight. She soon had a heated confrontation with her jealous younger brother Dean, leading to her decision to accompany C'baoth, Kenobi, Skywalker, and sixteen other Jedi on the starship Outbound Flight. During the Battle for Outbound Flight, Jinzler remained in the ship's core, surviving the battle alongside fifty-eight crew members and passengers. After the battle, Jinzler and the Chiss Syndic Thrass piloted the damaged vessel away from the battlefield. Jinzler and Thrass sacrificed themselves to save the surviving passengers of Outbound Flight, as the ship crashed onto a planetoid in The Redoubt.
Biography
Early life
- "[…] we got a Jinzler on our work team," […] "Guy named Dean. Relative of yours?"
"I don't know. I was only ten months old when I entered the Jedi Temple. I don't know anything about my family." - ―Brooks and Lorana Jinzler
Lorana Jinzler was born in 49 BBY[2] on the planet Coruscant. Her parents were both employees at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, working as electronics technicians. As a result, they dreamed that one of their children would be trained as a Jedi. Lorana was the third of the four Jinzler children. Ten months after Jinzler's birth, she was inducted into the Jedi Order. However, her parents were soon dismissed from their jobs in the Temple, in accordance with the Jedi Code regarding emotional attachments and relationships. Jinzler's parents kept track of her Jedi training via a friend who still worked at the Temple. This led to her younger brother Dean becoming jealous of her, only finally meeting Lorana face to face years later at the initiation of Outbound Flight.[1]
Jinzler was a good-natured and humble apprentice, making her relationship with her master, Jorus C'baoth, unusually tense, especially with C'baoth's gruff tone and high expectations. His attitude that Jedi were superior to non-Force users disturbed Jinzler, but she was too timid to confront him or say anything to address the issue. As a result, Jinzler was not as close to C'baoth as other Padawans were to their Jedi Masters. She was often unsure of the Jedi's role, unlike her master, who believed Jedi had the power and inherent role to rule others who were not Force-sensitive and watch over them.[1]
Due to her Jedi training, Jinzler had no contact with her family. However, she unknowingly observed them in multiple ways. Her family saw her with C'baoth and other Jedi at city festivals. Dean prided himself on being neglected by his parents, as they often compared him to Lorana and wondered why he wasn't also Force-sensitive. For this reason, Dean did not speak well of his sister Lorana, which was to burden both of them later. Dean also constantly followed Lorana and C'boath around Coruscant and knew where she and her master went on missions, despite Lorana never realizing he was stalking her.[1]
Arriving on Barlok
- "Quote from first conversion with Riske."
- ―Lorana Jinzler to Brooks or Dean
Jinzler accompanied her master as he interrupted a meeting between Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and his aide, Kinman Doriana. C'baoth demanded more funding for his proposed Outbound Flight Project, insisting that its importance outweighed any of the other petty problems the Republic was facing. Doriana suggested a compromise: if C'baoth could resolve a mining strike on the planet Barlok, it would free up enough immediate funds to finish the project. As C'baoth and Jinzler prepared for Barlok, C'baoth informed her she had to behave like a Jedi when she traveled as a Jedi. She wanted to object as C'baoth had a belief Jedi were inherently superior; a trait she did not share with her master. She knew her master had studied the mysteries and subtleties of the Force for many years, gradually growing in power, while she was a young Padawan learner, who had barely started her own path. Therefore, she knew she was not in a position to challenge C'baoth. Her master had given her an order, and it was her job to follow.[1]
When the Jedi arrived on Barlok, C'baoth instructed Jinzler to tour the city with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, as there was nothing for her to do in the negotiations. Up until then, Jinzler was content with remaining behind while her master negotiated. However, hearing her master instruct her to go with Kenobi and Skywalker greatly displeased her. Jinzler followed Kenobi and Skywalker inside the eating establishment Panky's. Soon after, Jerv Riske, a former bounty hunter, who served as the personal bodyguard of Magistrate Passel Argente of the Corporate Alliance entered the diner. Kenobi was the only one of the trio who recognized him, and he instructed Skywalker to head over to Riske, while Jinzler remained with him. Riske soon determined the Jedi were trying to spy on him and quietly left the premises while Skywalker and Kenobi were distracted. However, Jinzler decided to quietly follow Riske through the city.[1]
Shortly after Jinzler left Panky’s, she lost track of Riske and also realized that she had forgotten to get Kenobi's comlink frequency before splitting up. She also knew better than to interrupt C'baoth while he was busy with negotiations, and she should only contact him in the case of a catastrophe. Jinzler calmed herself with the Force, enabling her to sense which direction Riske had gone, in hopes of tracking the bodyguard down in an alleyway.[1]
After they both turned down a few different alleyways, Riske confronted Jinzler in one alleyway. Riske informed her that he was intrigued by C'baoth's presence and inquired Jinzler about the objectives of the Jedi Council in sending its representatives there, as he suspected they were playing politics. Jinzler told Riske that Kenobi was intrigued with Riske being on Barlok, but it was her idea to follow him. In response, Jinzler asked Riske why he was there. He replied he was trying to keep Argente alive. Riske then told Jinzler that she and the other Jedi were clearly not after Argente, nor was he after the Jedi. Therefore, he bluntly told Jinzler to stay out of his way, and he'd stay out of hers. The two then parted ways. Later that day, Jinzler found Kenobi on a bench across from Panky's and informed him that Riske was convinced Argente was in danger, and that she was certain Riske would not have been so open with her if the Jedi were after Argente.[1]
Capture by the conspirators
- "Quote between C'baoth and Kenobi about her disappearance or something from the meeting."
- ―Lorana Jinzler
That night, Jinzler, Skywalker and Kenobi quietly followed the Brolf Duefgrin; a member of a gang, after Kenobi witnessed the Brolf teenager stealing a pair of burst thrusters, so his gang could make homemade missiles. The Jedi tracked the Brolf down the alleyways, until he met up with Jhompfi, another Brolf conspirator. The Jedi could not confirm if the burst thrusters were transferred, but as the Jedi suspected, the Brolfs did successfully complete their intended transfer, and they parted down different alleyways. After the Brolfs' transferred the burst thrusters, Jinzler convinced Kenobi that she should track Jhompfi, as he was an adult, while Duefgrin, being a teenager would be more unpredictable, and therefore was more suited for Skywalker to track.[1]
As Jinzler followed Jhompfi, she knew she had the advantage, as Jhompfi was an amateur, unlike Riske who was a professional, with a professional's bearing and subtlety. She also knew that Jhompfi being an amateur was far more dangerous than Riske, but at the same time, he would be easier to deceive. Jinzler tracked Jhompfi to a poor housing ring in the city, where she watched him from a row of hedges. There, she was cornered by Vissfil and his brother. Jinzler allowed the brothers to capture her, as it gave her the opportunity to speak to their leaders and discover who was behind the plot to assassinate Argente.[1]
As Vissfil and his brother seized Jinzler, she used the Force to lift her lightsaber from concealment under her tunic, sending it into the nearby row of hedges she had been spying on the brothers from moments prior. The brothers then searched her for any weapons. They confiscated her comlink and removed her belt, confirming she had no weapons. The Brolfi brothers then knocked out Jinzler with a strong sedative administered through her back and brought her into one of the homes in the Covered Brush housing ring, where they met "Defender," which was Doriana's codename.[1]
While Jinzler remained unconscious, Doriana arrived in the Covered Brush neighborhood. Doriana immediately recognized the unconscious Jinzler, but he did not inform the Brolf conspirators she was their captive. He assumed Jinzler had left her lightsaber with Kenobi and Skywalker as her lightsaber would be a giveaway of her identity. The Brolfi insisted Jinzler was harmless while she was unconscious, but Doriana was concerned as Jinzler had seen Jhompfi holding the burst thrusters. Soon after, Kenobi attempted to contact Jinzler, but despite him not knowing that the terrorists had destroyed her comlink, Kenobi knew she was in trouble with Jhompfi's guild in the Covered Brush.[1]
Jinzler remained unconscious the entire night, never hearing the conversations between Defender and the Brolfi terrorists. Meanwhile, Kenobi ran into Riske who apologized to him about Jinzler's disappearance, and informed Kenobi that Jinzler was not combat savvy and he almost planted a tracker on her, which would have not only revealed her location, but that of Jhompfi's guild. When Kenobi contacted C'baoth, he informed Kenobi and Skywalker he could not sense Jinzler's Force-signature, but he confirmed she was still alive as he otherwise would have sensed his Padawan's death.[1]
Rescue and Barlok negotiations resolution
- "Quote between Jinzler and C'baoth at conference or from her promotion to Jedi Knight."
- ―Lorana Jinzler and C'baoth
Soon after, Kenobi and Skywalker searched the city, until Kenobi sensed Jinzler's lightsaber crystal in the Covered Brush neighborhood and determined Jinzler was nearby. Kenobi used the Force to activate the lightsaber from down the alley as a distraction, before retrieving the lightsaber. He and Skywalker then entered the house with Jhompfi's guild. Skywalker stood in guard position over Jinzler's limp form, with his lightsaber pointed towards a pair of Brolf conspirators. The Jedi received a hypo from one of the Brolfs, and confirmed Jinzler was given a strong sedative, rather than poison.[1]
The next day, Jinzler entered the conference with C'baoth through marketplace. She was determined, despite looking a bit pale and being tentative in her steps. Jinzler thanked Kenobi and Skywalker for the rescue the previous night. C'baoth warned the other Jedi that there was still danger to both the negotiators and the negotiations themselves. He instructed Jinzler to remain with Kenobi where it was safe during the negotiations. After C'baoth left, Kenobi informed Jinzler the Brolfi conspirators seemed obsessed with their interpretation of the Corporate Alliance's image, as they assumed the Corporate Alliance was trying to steal their planet's wealth. In response, Jinzler informed Kenobi that she did not understand that kind of thinking. Soon after, the missile created from the burst thrusters by Doriana and the Brolfi conspirators roared into the conference. Jinzler attempted to stop the missile, knowing its trajectory and intent was destroy the negotiators, including Argente, but she failed to stop the missile. In the conference room, C'baoth stopped the missile at the last moment, destroying it with his bare, outstretched hand, ending the Corporate Alliance-Barlok mining guild negotiations exactly as Palpatine and Doriana had planned.[1]
As a result of the Mission to Barlok's success, C'baoth quickly received the necessary funds to finish Outbound Flight and immediately began organizing a group of Jedi Masters, Jedi Knights, and civilian colonists to travel to the Unknown Regions. During the process, he promoted the twenty-two-year-old Jinzler to Jedi Knight and invited her to accompany him on Outbound Flight's long journey. At first, Jinzler rejected both offers, as she felt she was not ready to depart from the galaxy, but C'baoth quickly convinced her that she was ready. Shortly afterwards, Kenobi and Skywalker also accepted C'baoth's invitation to join the flight. They had agreed with the Jedi Council they would not stay on Outbound Flight for its entire duration, departing the starship before it entered the Unknown Regions. The three Jedi were C'baoth's final recruits onto the starship.[1]
Jinzler siblings' confrontation
- "That's an amethyst right?"
"Yes," […] "It was a gift from some people Master C'baoth and I had helped in the Coruscant mid-levels."
"[…] "No, it was a gift from your parents. They knew the people, and asked them to give it to you." - ―Dean and Lorana discussing her lightsaber amethyst.
Jinzler and C'baoth flew to Yaga Minor where crew members assembled the final parts of Outbound Flight. There, Jinzler spoke with the maintenance workers, and one of the workers, Brooks, informed Jinzler that a member of their crew was also named Jinzler. Brooks asked Lorana if Dean Jinzler was a relative of hers. After Lorana informed Brooks she was taken from her family when she was ten months old and had no knowledge of her family, Brooks led her to where Dean was seated inside Outbound Flight's mess hall. To Lorana's surprise, Dean was the same dark haired man who she constantly saw around Coruscant as she traveled across her homeworld with C'boath. She quickly realized Dean's hair was the same shade as hers, and his eyes were the same odd shade of gray as hers. Brooks asked Dean if he knew the woman besides him and to Lorana's surprise, Dean revealed she was his sister.[1]
After Brooks left the Jinzler siblings alone, Dean began to vent his jealousy on her. Dean felt he grew up in his elder sister's shadow, feeling their parents expected him to be perfect. He informed Lorana that he had studied her and C'boath and she was far from perfect. He expected that Jedi were supposed to be the prime examples of this perfection, which Lorana had made too many mistakes to achieve.[1]
While staring at the activation stud of Lorana's lightsaber, an angry Dean insisted that she passed him her green-bladed laser sword. Lorana told Dean the amethyst came from people who had helped C'baoth in Coruscant's mid-levels. Dean corrected her, informing his sister the amethyst was a gift from their parents. Their parents gave the amethyst to a group of citizens from the mid-levels, who were once rescued by Lorana and C'baoth. As a result, the citizens gave Lorana the amethyst for her lightsaber on behalf of her and Dean's mother and father. After taking back her saber, a heartbroken Lorana apologized to Dean for his hatred towards her and their parents, as well as his perceived loss and his pain she could not heal. Lorana told Dean she hoped he found his way and his healing, before she left, while holding back her tears.[1]
Shortly afterwards, Captain Pakmillu and C'baoth found Lorana. She informed them that she had not seen her quarters. After further thought, she informed them was not necessary to see her quarters, as she had already decided that she was going to travel on Outbound Flight. Lorana's argument with Dean made her realize there was nothing left in the galaxy worth waiting for and she could not wait to depart on Outbound Flight.[1]
Outbound Flight flies

"It's more than just impressive. Therein lies the future of the galaxy." - ―C'baoth and Jinzler upon viewing the completed? Outbound Flight
If I split the section in 2+, might want to add this quote on top of below. Check if it happens before or after Lorana and Dean's conversation. If before, then replace with alternate quote.
- "Quote between Jinzler, C'baoth and Thrawn as they discussed terms for evading any potential battle. (Use Dialogue as opposed to Quote due to 3 speakers)."
- ―Jinzler, C'baoth and Thrawn negotiate before the Battle of Outbound Flight
Content... Soon after, C'baoth ordered Captain Pakmillu to launch Outbound Flight, and the ship entered hyperspace. Doriana reported to Chancellor Palpatine that three last minute additons were added to Outbound Flight's passenger list; Jinzler, Skywalker and Kenobi. Palpatine replied that he expected Jinzler due to her relationship to C'baoth. However, he demanded that Skywalker was removed from the titanic vessel at one of its stops before departing the main galaxy for the Unknown Regions.[1]
After Outbound Flight arrived on Roxuli, Palpatine personally spoke with Kenobi and Skywalker, removing them from the voyage, while Jinzler and the rest of the passengers and crew remained for the flight into the Unknown Regions.[1]
When Chiss Ascendancy Expansionary Fleet Force Commander Thrawn came onboard Outbound Flight to negotiate with C'baoth, the Chiss warned them a Sith Lord was planning to destroy them. In his arrogance, C'baoth insisted their current course was the only option. Thrawn countered telling the Jedi Master that they would be entering Chiss territory and he would therefore open fire on the Dreadnaughts. Jinzler offered an alternative; Outbound Flight would go _??? parsecs from their current trajectory, thereby evading any further conflict and preventing a battle with the Chiss. However, C'baoth completely rejected her offer, insisting they must press forward on their current path as quickly as possible. Before Thrawn departed from Outbound Flight's hangar, he turned to Jinzler and acknowledged she was smart? and willing to make compromises. He apologized for being on opposite sides of the upcoming battle due to her master's closed-minded perspective and wished her luck during the battle.[1]
As Thrawn was departing the hangar, Chas Uliar and ??? were discovered lurking around, as they were trying to see if Thrawn was from the Republic as they presumed or if he actually was from the Unknown Regions. A furious C'baoth publicly rebuked them for eavesdropping in the hangar and instructed Jinzler to escort tehm to the Central Storage Core to prevent them from intervening any further with his plans. Soon after Jinzler escorted the rebellious crewmembers to the Core, the Battle for Outbound Flight began, resulting in the deaths of C'baoth and all others onboard Outbound Flight, except for Jinzler and the fifty-seven crew and passengers that C'baoth had ordered to be locked in the Central Core.[1]
Saving the survivors
- "Then let us prepare for the end. I've known you and your people only briefly, Jedi Lorana Jinzler. But in that time, I've learned to admire and respect you. I hope someday humans and Chiss will be able to work side by side in peace."
"As do I, Syndic Mitth'ras'safis of the Eighth Ruling Family."
"Then let us bring this part of history to a close. May warrior's fortune smile on our efforts."
"Yes. And may the Force be with us. And with them." - ―Syndic Mitth'ras'safis and Jedi Knight Lorana Jinzler before their deaths.
After the battle ended, Jinzler left the Core and headed to Dreadnaught-One?? to pilot the ship. Pylons broke (check wording), breaking her leg??. There, she found a gravely injured Jedi Master Justyn Ma'Ning, who saved her life, before dying from his wounds. Soon after, Thrawn's brother, Thrass arrived, prepared to remove the damaged vessel from the battlefield before Chaf'orm'bintrano and the Chaf family could get their hands on its remains. In the cockpit of D-1?, he met Jinzler who convinced him to work with her to pilot the survivors to safety. They soon met another Human, Jorj Car'das. Jinzler instructed Car'das to head back to the Republic and find her brother Dean. Jinzler informed Car'das that Dean needed to be reminded to release his hatred to her, their parents, and everyone else. After Car'das left Outbound Flight, Jinzler and Thrass piloted the starship out of Chiss space. However, they soon lost control of the ship, and it began to plummet to the surface on a planetoid in the Redoubt. Jinzler and Thrass agreed to sacrifice themselves, in order to save the fifty-seven colonists who had survived the Battle for Outbound Flight in the Central Storage Core.[1]
Legacy
- "Lorana, or Jedi Jinzler as we referred to her. (CHECK EXACT WORDING JORAD USED"
- ―Jorad Pressor to Dean while inside the remains of Dreadnaught 6.
- OR: quote about saber destruction helping Dean release his hatred towards Lorana (probably a better fit).
Nearly fifty years after Lorana's death, Car'das fulfilled his promise to her and transmitted information on the mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project to Dean. Dean traveled to the wreckage of Outbound Flight with the Jedi Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker when it was rediscovered by the Chiss. There, the Skywalkers found Lorana's skeletal remains next to Thrass's remains in D-One's cockpit.[4]
Lorana Jinzler was also remembered by one of the Survivors of Outbound Flight, Jorad Pressor, who had known her as Jedi Lorana back when he was a child. For this reason, Dean Jinzler was released from a trap that was set by the Survivors to try resolving the problem diplomatically.[4]
Lorana's green-bladed lightsaber, with the amethyst gem attached to the activation stud, was recovered by Luke Skywalker, as he and Jade Skywalker searched the ruins of Dreadnaught-One. Skywalker mistakenly assumed the saber was C'baoth's, but Dean informed Skywalker the saber was Lorana's. During the Skirmish aboard Dreadnaught-Four, Skywalker and Jade Skywalker used Jinzler's lightsaber to destroy a droideka. After the Skywalkers informed Dean of the lightsaber's destruction, he was initially upset as Lorana's lightsaber was the last physical connection he had to his late sister. However, he soon realized he was at peace and did not need a physical memory of Lorana anymore. Dean's journey to the place Lorana sacrificed her life helped Dean release the hatred he had for his elder sister. Dean realized it was a fitting end for Lorana's lightsaber, as her weapon was sacrificed to protect the Survivors of Outbound Flight, just like Lorana had sacrificed her own life to save the surviving people onboard forty-nine years prior.[4]

Personality and traits
- "Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be able to please him."
- ―Lorana regarding her master Jorus C'baoth
Lorana was a Human female Padawan, later Jedi Knight, who was about medium in height, with dark hair and striking gray eyes. To most people, Jinzler appeared to be a normal Jedi. She was humble, good-natured and had the sense of global awareness that came from knowledge of the Force. However, she lacked self-confidence, something which was not helped by working with Jorus C'baoth, who was very sure of himself, and expected any Padawan of his to feel the same. Jinzler was often too timid to confront her master or address anything regarding C'baoth's ideology that Jedi were superior to non-Force users, despite it profoundly disturbing her. Obi-Wan Kenobi recognized this and attempted to make her feel that she belonged and should not feel so unsure when the two worked together briefly. Jinzler's lack of confidence extended to her combat skills, and as a result, as she was not very combat savvy.[1]
Jinzler was caring, evidenced by the way she sacrificed herself to save the Survivors of Outbound Flight. She was sorry her brother disliked her, telling him to let go of his anger. Just before her death she instructed Jorj Car'das to be a messenger to Dean, in hopes that her message would finally enable Dean to let go of his hatred to her and their parents.[1]
Powers and abilities
Force powers...
Lorana Jinzler was skilled at tailing people, and she picked up a few tricks during her years of training as a Jedi. She knew amateur conspirators such as the Brolf Jhompfi were easier to deceive. Therefore, she varied her distance from him, by ducking through alleys and side streets to get ahead of him. She also periodically altered her appearance, putting the hood of her robe up or down, or using a cord to tie her hair back instead of letting it hang free.(Outbound Flight PG. 91, condense later. Mention rest in Mission to Barlok)[1]
Equipment
Lorana Jinzler was armed with a green lightsaber. She wore light colored Jedi robes.[1]
Behind the scenes
Lorana Jinzler first appeared as her skeletal remains in the 2004 novel Survivor's Quest by Timothy Zahn.[4] Jinzler was later pictured in the cover art of the Japanese version of the 2006 novel Outbound Flight, with the artwork done by Tsuyoshi Nagano.[5]

Variant one
Childhood and education Their master was Jorus C'baoth. Due to her Jedi training, she had no contact with her family. However, she observed them in all possibilities, e.g. Jedi's appearance at city festivals. Dean prided himself on being neglected by his family, as they often compared him to Lorana and wondered why he wasn't also Force-sensitive. For this reason, Dean did not speak well of his sister Lorana, which was to burden both of them later.
The Extragalactic Flight Project During her time on the flight project, Lorana was often called in when there was trouble with C'baoth. For example, when Justyn Ma'Ning informed all the Force-sensitive children of Dreadnaught Four about the planned Jedi training, even those whose Force receptivity was too low for training. Even when there were conflicts over the decoration of a trade fair room, Lorana was asked to talk to C'baoth. She tried to mediate, but could not record any notable successes. On the flight project, she also met the Pressor family. Their son Jorad wanted to be tested again to see if he could become a Jedi after all. Lorana promised him a new test, but it was also negative. Jorad was disappointed when Lorana told him this, but his parents were relieved, as the Jedi's popularity had already noticeably declined by that time.
Some time later, the flight project was pulled out of hyperspace by Commander Thrawn and his battle group. Lorana was on the bridge when C'baoth spoke to the Chiss. Both arranged a meeting on board the flight project, where Lorana was also present. Thrawn insisted that the flight project stay away from Chiss space, which meant either a return to the Republic or very long detours. C'baoth didn't give in and dismissed Thrawn. Lorana accompanied him to his ship, with Thrawn speaking negatively about the Jedi Master. The Chiss reminded Lorana once again that they had an hour to make a decision and then left the flight project. As soon as Thrawn was off the ship, C'baoth came with Chas Uliar and escorted him and Lorana to a shuttle that was also in the hangar. Inside were several people who had wanted to ask Thrawn to help them against C'baoth. But the Jedi Master had kept the hatch of the shuttle locked until the Chiss had left. He then ordered Lorana to lock Uliar and the other "traitors" in the Jedi Training Center in the camp core. She protested, but C'baoth prevailed. Lorana finally carried out his order and then went to the weapons control room of D-four. From there, she fought with the other Jedi against the Vagaari who had just arrived, whom they were able to defeat with the help of the Chiss. While the Jedi were distracted by the deaths of the Vagaari, whose minds they confused with the Force, Thrawn attacked the flight project and destroyed all the weapon stations, unwittingly shooting at all the Jedi as well. Lorana was one of the few surviving Jedi. Ma'Ning told her to save lives, so Lorana ran into the camp core to free Uliar and his people. While in the turbolift, she felt C'baoth switch to the dark side and attack Thrawn with the Force. Kinman Doriana, who was with Thrawn, pressed a button on the Chiss Commander's desk. Thrawn's starfighters then flew towards the flight project. The first broke open the shells of the dreadnaughts, the last carried radiation bombs inside. This meant that everyone on board the flight project died except Lorana and the others in the camp core. The survivors had to wait there for several hours, as the dreadnaughts and the turbolifts were badly damaged and had to be patched up by the repair droids. When the turbolift was working again, Lorana went to D-four and then worked her way up to D-one. There she found Jorj Car'das and Thrass, who wanted to destroy the flight project so that it would not fall into the hands of Chaf'orm'bintrano and his family. Lorana reported on the survivors in the core and since they couldn't get them off board, they decided to fly the flight project away. Lorana asked Car'das to deliver a message to her brother and so he left the flight project before it disappeared. Lorana used the Force to operate all the important stations of the flight project and thus steered it into the redoubt. Once inside it, the hyperdrive failed. Thrass and Lorana decided to go into orbit around a nearby planet. During this manoeuvre, however, the propulsion system also failed and the trajectory of the flight project would start after 15 orbits with surface of the planet. Thrass discovered a gravel-filled valley where they wanted to land the flight project. Their plan was to have D-six hit first so that D-three and the hangar with the Delta-12 skysprite would not be buried. But then Uliar reported via Kom that he and the others had gone to D-four. Since Lorana's Kom was damaged, she couldn't answer him. To protect the people in D-four, Lorana and Thrass turned the ship so that D-four was furthest up. As a result, however, D-eins was the first to hit the planet's surface. Lorana died in the impact.
Legacy In 22 NSY, her brother pretended to be an ambassador of the New Republic in order to reconcile with his sister, at least in spirit.
Personality Lorana was a very quiet and shy person. This was due to the fact that her master, Jorus C'baoth, treated her very harshly. Nor was she ever asked by him for her opinion, which supported her restraint. Nevertheless, she was by no means shy, in important situations where she had to act as a Jedi, she confidently took on her tasks and was strongly focused on the matter.
Variant Two
Outbound Flight On the deck, she watched in horror as her former master slowly took over the board. He suppressed rebellions and severely punished every offender. However, she did not dare to oppose him. Shortly thereafter, Kenobi and Skywalker disembarked.
Soon, on the advice of Kinman Doriana, the ship attacked Chiss, Mitth'raw'nuruodo, more commonly known as Thrawn, to prevent Outbound Flight from falling into the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong. He did it without the knowledge of his superiors. Loriana managed to persuade Thrawn that Outbound Flight would take a different route if he didn't attack them. Thrawn agreed, but Jorus dissented. He dismissed Thrawn, and when the time ran out, the ultimatum was reinstated, he reunited with Thrawn. He was so overcome with anger and revenge that in his anger he turned to the Dark Side, which Lorana was able to sense. He tried to strangle Thrawn with the Force, but he fired up the ships that killed most of the crew (out of fifty thousand people only fifty-seven survived), and all the Jedi except Lorana. Jinzler was soon visited aboard the ship by Thrawn's brother Thrass, along with Car'das. Thrass said that the ship could not fall into the hands of House Reign Chiss, as it would be a great threat. They decided that Outbound Flight had to land on some unknown planet and hide from the Chissa. Lorana asked Car'das, who was to return to Thrawn, to find her brother and tell him what had happened to her. As Jorj left the ship, Jinzler and Thrass attempted to launch the shipwreck. They soon found a suitable planet and intended to land there, directing Dreadnaught 3 to the bottom. Unfortunately, the lack of communication led to the fact that the handful of surviving passengers went out to D-4, while Lorana and Thrass were on D-1, which was directly above D-4. To save the passengers, they had to land so that D-1 was at the bottom, which led to their deaths. And so they did. Lorana and Thrass died saving the passengers of the Outbound Flight.
Legacy 49 years after the Outbound Flight crashed, her brother, Dean, went in search of the wreckage of the ship, along with Jedi Knights Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade. They found her sword in the wreckage, but it was soon destroyed.
