Hailing from the wind-beaten moon Iktotch, Jedi Master Saesee Tiin possesses natural telepathic abilities and an exceptionally strong connection to the Force. He is well known for his abilities as a pilot, and is at his best while traveling at extremely high speeds at the controls of virtually any spacecraft.
Saesee Tiin trained under the great Omo Bouri, a Wol Cabasshite Jedi Master who orchestrated the famed Treaty of Trammis a century ago. When Master Bouri perished, Saesee Tiin reinvigorated his Jedi training - with the hope that he might gain sufficient insight into the Force to communicate with his vanished master.
