Jakris was a Mon Calamari guard who served in the security detail for a New Republic Defense Fleet transport. Around 9 ABY, two individuals claiming to be Jedi boarded the vehicle, intending to see a prisoner being held onboard. The ship’s captain, Hayle, greeted them and brought six security members, including Jakris. Hayle welcomed the pair but then accused them of being impostors—he instructed Jakris to have the astromech droid RD-3 scan them for identification. Before Jakris could, one of the visitors ignited her lightsaber and slashed the Mon Calamari’s midsection, toppling them. The rest of the detail was similarly struck down.
