When Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn reported a Sith attack during the events
surrounding the Battle of Naboo, Ki-Adi-Mundi expressed shock at the
notion. "Impossible," he remarked, "the Sith have been extinct for a
millennium." Failing to recognize the gravity of the Sith menace, the
Jedi suffered the loss of Qui-Gon, a well respected member and valiant
defender of the Jedi Order. Ki-Adi-Mundi journeyed to Naboo to attend
Jinn's somber funeral and also attended the jubilant celebration that
marked the planet's liberation.
A decade later, Jedi Master
Ki-Adi-Mundi continues to serve on the Council. He was present during
one of the gravest crises ever to face the Jedi order: the Separatist
movement that threatened to split the Republic. Along with several other
Jedi, Ki-Adi-Mundi became a general in the Clone Wars, leading clone
trooper infantry on campaigns throughout the galaxy, attempting to stop
the spread of the Separatist forces.
During the Outer Rim Sieges,
as the Clone Wars were nearing their end, Ki-Adi-Mundi was stationed on
the Banking Clan stronghold world of Mygeeto. There, he led the
Galactic Marines, helmed by clone Commander Bacara. He stayed in touch
with Coruscant as the Jedi Council was experiencing the changes
initiated by Chancellor Palpatine. He grew wary of the Chancellor and
his bids for increased executive power. When the upper tier of the Jedi
Council -- himself, Yoda and Mace Windu -- discussed a possible course
of action to remove the Chancellor, Ki-Adi-Mundi advised that the Jedi
order would have to take control of the Senate in the interim, to ensure
a secure transition of power. Taken out of context, such discourse
would be branded treason -- it was a disturbing sign at just how
unstable the democracy of the Republic had become.
