Vetna Mooncrest was a Force-sensitive human who served as[1] a Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order during the late Republic Era.[3] She[2] had a congenital disability and had implants to help compensate for it. However, the implants were vulnerable to certain kinds of radiation and could cause her pain if exposed to them.[3] Mooncrest fought with her fellow Jedi during the Invasion of Syrinx Prime[1] and later together with Grand Master Yoda investigated Atha Prime's palace on Veeros, where she fought against the Xerexi.[3]
Powers and abilities[]
Vetna was trained in lightsaber combat and was capable of deflecting blaster bolts[1] and fight against several Xerexi for a prolonged time.[3] She was particularly skilled in telekinesis, being able to lift and destroy large pieces of machinery.[1]
