Ty Yorrick, formerly known as Tylera, was a female Tholothian Force-sensitive monster hunter and saber–for-hire who lived during the High Republic Era. A former Jedi Padawan, Yorrick departed the Jedi Order and came to work as a mercenary, being part of a band led by Caratoo for a time. She crossed paths with the Jedi again when she came to the Republic Fair on Valo while working as a bodyguard for Mantessa and Klerin Chekkat.

Tylera was a Force-sensitive Tholothian who lived during the High Republic Era. As a child, she was inducted into the Jedi Order, eventually becoming a Padawan. During her time as an apprentice, she was taught how to construct her lightsaber by the Azumel Jedi Master Cibaba, and also befriended a fellow Padawan, Klias Teradine. However, Tylera eventually left the Jedi after an incident with Teradine at the Yallow Shrine.

Becoming known as Ty Yorrick, she eventually went into mercenary work, joining a band led by the Kerk Caratoo, whom she later killed after a betrayal. She spent almost a decade working as a monster hunter, becoming known as the «Saber for Hire» as well. At some point, a Weequay cut off one of her head-tendrils with a knife.

In 232 BBY, the Drengir, a species of sentient carnivorous plants which hungered for the meat of other beings, were awakened from a long slumber. Yorrick initially disbelieved the reports and laughed them off. However, during a hunt on Galidraan for a batarikan snake, she learned otherwise when she found her quarry infested by a root system. The discovery that many of the locals had also been killed by the Drengir meant she also did not get paid for the job, something her droid KL-03 lamented.

Three months before the Valo Republic Fair was to be held, Yorrick was involved in a mission on Blarrum which brought her closer to encountering the Jedi than she had in quite some time.
