Aurra Sing

Aurra Sing

Bounty Hunter

Although she was once a Jedi trainee at the Temple on Coruscant, Aurra Sing was perhaps taken in by the Jedi at too late of an age, and thus proved unfit to follow the light side of the Force. Although she was attuned to the Force, Aurra demonstrated little regard for authority and often lost her temper while training under a Jedi Master. Given this, Aurra never progressed beyond the level of Padawan. Later captured by pirates during a mission, Aurra became corrupted by their influence and fell to a life of crime as a bounty hunter.

During the Clone Wars, Aurra Sing became known as a Jedi hunter, taking the lives of several. Although she had kept her lightsaber from her days as a Padawan, she preferred to use her long range weapons such as the sniper rifle and explosives. Although she was not loyal to any cause, for a time during the Clone Wars, Aurra was hired by Count Dooku for a mission against the Republic. It was during a duel against Jedi Knight Aayla Secura that Aurra used her lightsaber, although she was no match for Secura. Imprisoned by the Republic for her crimes against the Jedi, Aurra Sing would spend the next two years in captivity.

After the fall of the Jedi Order and the creation of the Galactic Empire, Darth Vader had her released in order to help him hunt down Jedi who had survived Order 66. Aurra would go on to live for several more decades, without ever being fully aligned to one cause or another, except for her own. Perhaps being loyal only to herself is what allowed her to survive for so long.
