Sarrissa Jeng was a female Human Jedi Knight in the waning years of the Galactic Republic. She wielded a blue lightsaber and was a practitioner of Form VI: Niman.

Sarrissa led the six-member Jedi task force involved in the Roshu Sune hostage standoff on Atzerri. The Jedi attempted to negotiate with the Gotal guerillas responsible for the release of the hostages, but when rogue vigilantes opened fire on the guerillas, the guerillas panicked and opened fire on their captives. Two Jedi were killed in the crossfire: Kaloor Cofi and Antyard-Wo Shissan. 

The four surviving Jedi, including Kerrshnek and Sarrissa Jeng herself, stormed the commuter hopper in which the guerillas were holding the hostages. A guerilla set off a thermite gel bomb inside the hopper, igniting the vessel. The Jedi rescued those inside, treating their injuries as best they could, and then taking them to medical wards in the cities of Skreeka and Talos. 

Though the Jedi were criticized by Gotal Foreign Affairs Commune leader Shagrad Loset for what he saw as meddling in an internal affair, their heroism was commended by Jedi Council member Shaak Ti. Kerrshnek, Sarrissa, and the other surviving Jedi took their fallen comrades's bodies to the nearest Jedi chapter house, on Aleen. 

Sarrissa was part of the Jedi strike team that participated in the rescue mission at Geonosis. She died in the battle.
