468.12 // Two Jedi Vanish After Successful Mission to Rhen Var
The Jedi Order is investigating the mysterious disappearance of Jedi Master Keln Varo and his Padawan, Tessa Ryn, following their successful diplomatic mission to the world of Rhen Var.
The pair were celebrated for brokering peace between rival mining clans and recovering lost artifacts from the planet’s catacombs. It was a feat previously thought impossible following the Stennax’s failed campaign in the region, which wrought political tensions that analysts believed would take a generation to heal.
In celebration of the Jedi’s efforts, a commemorative ceremony was held in their honour at the local outpost before the pair’s scheduled departure back to the Dantooine Enclave.
However, Master Varo and Padawan Ryn never reached their shuttle. Witnesses report seeing them leave the ceremony grounds, but security holos show no trace of their arrival at the landing platform. Local constabulary have scoured the area, finding no evidence of foul play or escape—only the chilling sense that the two Jedi simply “vanished into thin air.”
The Jedi Council has declined to comment on speculation surrounding the disappearance, though sources within the Order confirm that search efforts are ongoing.
