Fionn Halcyon was a Corellian Jedi who had a somewhat troublesome relationship with the Jedi order as such - some said he liked to find reason to defy them, if reason wouldn't find him. He died during Operation: Knightfall at the Jedi temple. His legacy lives on in his daughter, Nya, who managed to survive the Purge.
A short history
|
This is but a brief attempt to piece together the scraps of history that made up the man. As the tales of the Jedi and their deeds become more and more muddled in the minds of the dutiful Imperial citizens of today, the lives of the Jedi of yore only survive in memories of those brave few who do not want to - or cannot, for some reason or another - forget.

Family Life
|
- "A Jedi is a Jedi, first and foremost, and only. For a Jedi to divide his attention between the will of the Force and the will of others is to invite disaster."
- ―Jedi Master Hoche Trit
For Jedi to marry and bear children is against the code, yet Fionn Halcyon and Berit Selkie (not unlike other Corellian Jedi) defy the code, get married and conceive a child, all without the knowledge of the Jedi Council on far Coruscant. The daughter they named Nya grew up in a close-knit community of Corellian Jedi, many of whom had a history of defying Jedi regulations. Berit's death at Geonosis turned Fionn away from the Jedi Order for a while, and he went "rogue": travelling to Geonosis, convinced that his wife had survived somehow, he was brought back from the brink of insanity (or was it the dark side?) by the good deeds of his own old Jedi master and a pair of clone soldiers.
After returning to the folds of the Jedi Order, he dutifully accepted his commission as General and went to war on the CIS. His little daughter he entrusted to the care of the Temple for the time being.

His last command
|
- "Have we had any contact from the Temple?"
"Received a coded retreat message, we have." "It requests all Jedi to return to the Temple. It says the war is over." "Well, then we must go back. If there are any stragglers, they will fall into the trap and be killed."
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Bail Organa
After following an odd omen, he left his daughter with friends on Corellia shortly before Order 66 was given. With other Jedi from the sector, he responded to the beacon recall sent out by the temple. He never returned from his journey to find out what was happening on Coruscant, where he was struck down mercilessly by a group of clones in disguise while penetrating the still burning ruins of the Jedi temple.
His last deed as a Jedi, however, was implanting the need to rescue and keep his daughter safe into the clone commando who killed him. Taking up Fionn's lightsaber, the soldier struck down the rest of the clone squad and escaped. On Corellia, young Nya felt her father's passing, but her guardians - no Jedi - did not want to believe her.

An attempt at a Chronology
|
(Dates stated are based on the Battle of Endor as the time of Reset, so it would be BBE and ABE respectively where the Battle of Yavin would have taken place in 4 BBE)
- 28 BBE - Nya is born to her parents, Jedi Knights Berit Selkie and Fionn Halcyon, on the planet Corellia. The family stays on Corellia and Nya's existence is kept hidden from the Jedi Council.
- 26 BBE - Her mother dies on Geonosis as a result of the battle there. Fionn cannot keep her hidden from the Council after his attachment to her mother is uncovered, and she is accepted as a youngling into the Order.
- 25.5 BBE - Her father arranges for her to be brought to the training facility on Corellia instead, where she stays with non-Jedi family of his.
- 23 BBE - Her father dies at the hands of a squad of Clone commandos while responding to the Jedi recall beacon.
