Bariss Offee (Traitor)

Barriss Offee is a Force-sensitive Mirialan female and a Jedi Knight that fell to the dark side of the Force during the period of the Clone Wars. Trained as a Padawan under Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, Offee wielded a blue lightsaber that she used when participating in the First Battle of Geonosis. She preferred studying ancient Jedi texts to fighting. During her time as a Jedi Padawan, Offee forged a friendship with Ahsoka Tano, the Padawan of Anakin Skywalker. Though rather different in personality, the two bonded through their shared experience in combat, including at the Second Battle of Geonosis.

As the Clone Wars continued, Offee grew disillusioned with the Jedi's role in the conflict, believing they had strayed from the ideals that the Jedi Order was supposed to represent, becoming particularly wary of the Jedi Council. Deciding to act on her concerns, she orchestrated the bombing of the Jedi Temple as a means to foment further distrust of the Jedi. Despite their previous friendship, she allowed Tano to be framed for orchestrating the bombing, even going as far as impersonating former Sith apprentice Asajj Ventress to frame her former friend. Skywalker ultimately ended up catching Offee and bringing her to justice. Offee finally confessed just moments before Tano was convicted of the crime, clearing the Togruta's name. Offee expressed her views of the Jedi Order in front of the tribunal, showing that she had been corrupted by the dark side before being taken away.

Barriss Offee was a Mirialan female who had brown hair, blue eyes, yellow skin with black diamond shaped tattoos, and a height of 1.66 meters. Offee was considered a seemingly ideal example of a Jedi Padawan by some members of the Order. She was an intelligent, daring and studious individual, able to memorize the entire layout of the system of Geonosian catacombs when her master asked her to. She was also quite selfless.

After her experiences in the Battle of Geonosis and not wanting to become a warrior, she did not wish to take part in the Clone Wars, yet she would find herself heading back to Geonosis, and with it the war itself, for its second battle. Afterward, she would continue to fight in the conflict. As the Clone Wars dragged on, Offee grew to believe that the Republic and Jedi Order were the ones responsible, viewing the latter's role in the war as a betrayal of the Order's ideals. Her corruption was due in part to when she touched the dark side on Drongar after intaking a substance that made her more powerful, but in a dangerous manner. Her growing disillusionment eventually led her to bomb the Jedi Temple, killing several civilians, clones and fellow Jedi, including her friend Tutso Mara. She even murdered her co-conspirator Letta Turmond to keep her betrayal a secret and framed her friend Tano for the deed. Reflecting on her former friend's actions, Tano believed Offee had been trying to convince her to have sympathy for her or outright convince her join together against the Jedi. However, she deemed the way Offee worked her into the plot, by framing her to take away her choices, to be the worst thing she could have done.

In doing all of this, however, she fell to the influence of the dark side; during her duel with Anakin Skywalker, he chastised her for not getting rid of Ventress' red lightsabers, to which she snidely responded, "I think they suit me." When taken before the court, Offee finally confessed her crimes, thereby acquitting Tano, but nevertheless maintained her belief that the Jedi and the Republic had lost their way, expressing no remorse for bombing the Jedi Temple or framing Ahsoka, although a sad look given toward her friend indicated she at least regretted the rift these actions had now created between them.

Appearance: has a tall, slim build with narrow shoulders, a fitted waist, long legs, and a lean, controlled frame. She wears a large black hood that covers her head completely and casts the upper face into darkness. A dark metallic face helmet covers the lower face and front of the head beneath the hood, with angular gray-black plates, a squared bridge section, and a vented mouthpiece made from vertical slats. The helmet hides her nose, mouth, cheeks, chin, and most facial detail. No eyes are visible.

Her outfit is a fitted black bodysuit with a high neck and smooth armored seams. The torso is close-fitting, with vertical panel lines running down the chest and abdomen. A narrow central strip descends from the neck to the waist, ending beneath a small square clasp at the throat. The material is matte black with subtle dark gray paneling.

A long black cape drapes from the shoulders and wraps around the body in heavy layered fabric. The cape has a broad hood attachment, deep folds, and a wide flowing shape that reaches down near the boots. Its edges are smooth and slightly curved, with darker interior fabric visible inside the open sides.

She wears a black utility belt around the waist with rectangular segmented pouches, a flat central buckle, and rigid side panels. Her arms are covered by fitted black sleeves and long black gloves, with smooth forearm sections and covered fingers.

Her legs are covered by tight black pants with subtle segmented thigh panels and narrow seam lines. Tall black boots cover the lower legs, with rigid shin plates, squared knee-high structure, thick soles, and reinforced toes.

As with any other Jedi, Barriss Offee was Force-sensitive. She was skilled in the use of telekinesis, enabling her to utilize Force push during battle. She also could use the Force to strangle people, without needing to see her victim, such as she did to frame Ahsoka Tano and hide her own fall to the dark side. She was trained in Form III. She was also skilled in Jar'Kai; with Ventress' lightsabers, she was able to overwhelm Tano—who, at the time, had use of only one lightsaber. When she was against Skywalker and tapped into the dark side, Offee used her two stolen blades to duel Anakin on even footing for a time, but lost when Skywalker exploited Offee's distraction by the presence of other Jedi and put her in a Force hold, thus subduing her.

Offee carried her own blue-bladed lightsaber during her time as a Jedi. She eventually went on to steal Ventress's twin red lightsabers in order to pose as the former Sith assassin. She wears Asajj Ventress's helmet in order to impersonate her and conceal her own identity alongside a black skin-tight outfit and a black cloak.

The Clone Wars is the name given to the major galactic conflict fought between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The war was named after the clone troopers utilized by the Republic against the battle droid forces of the Separatists. These armies, the Grand Army of the Republic and the Separatist Droid Army, were two of the largest ever pitted against each other in galactic history, and the fighting between them rapidly spread to countless inhabited worlds.

The Coruscant Guard was a corps of elite clone shock troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, organized to serve as a military police force and protect the Galactic Republic capital planet of Coruscant. Unlike most other clones who were issued white with officers bearing color markings, the Coruscant Guard armor was issued in red.

Shock troopers were armed with DC-15A blaster rifles, DC-15Ss, and thermal detonators. They were also seen armed with RPS-6 rocket launchers, and Z-6 rotary blaster cannons during battle. They also employed electrostaffs for combat.

The LAAT/le patrol gunship, also known as the Republic police gunship, was a gunship introduced during the Clone Wars to perform law enforcement functions on the Republic capital of Coruscant. Designed to be sleeker and smaller as well as less heavily armed than the Republic attack gunship, the patrol transport was better suited for policing the dense, planet-wide city while reducing the risks of collateral damage.
