Training without the Order
Shin learns from Baylan in a master-apprentice relationship shaped by Jedi techniques but separated from Jedi community and governance. Her education shows how Force traditions can fragment when knowledge survives through individuals rather than institutions.
Ambition and uncertainty
Shin often shows a stronger interest in direct power than Baylan. She asks about the authority promised by alliances around Thrawn and seems less invested in Baylan's abstract search for historical change.
Conflict with Sabine and Ahsoka
Her encounters with Sabine Wren and Ahsoka Tano place two unconventional apprenticeship lines against one another. Both pairs inherit parts of Jedi tradition while operating outside the old Order.
Separation from Baylan
On Peridea, Baylan's path diverges from Shin's. The separation leaves her without the stable institutional identity that the Jedi once provided to apprentices and without a clear political project of her own.
Why this character matters to the archive
Shin helps the archive examine apprenticeship, inherited technique, ambition, and what happens when Force training survives without the institution that once defined its social rules.
Apprenticeship after the old Jedi world
Shin Hati is trained by Baylan Skoll outside the institutional structure that once defined Jedi apprenticeship. The relationship preserves familiar practices such as lightsaber instruction, Force training, and master-student hierarchy while giving them a different political purpose.
That makes Shin part of a post-Jedi landscape where techniques survive more easily than institutional consensus about what those techniques are for.
Ambition, dependence, and an unfinished identity
Shin wants power and recognition, but her path is still heavily organized by Baylan’s plans. When their goals begin to diverge, she has to decide what remains of an identity built around following a teacher who refuses to explain everything.
Her position among mercenaries, Imperial loyalists, and local forces on Peridea keeps that question open. Shin is dangerous partly because she has substantial training before she has a stable community or political project of her own.
