The Jedi Praxeum was founded 7 years after the destruction of the second Death Star on the planet Yavin. Yavin itself was the site of the Rebel base during the first Death Star's destruction.
At the behest of Mom Mothma and the New Republic, Luke Skywalker was tasked in finding new Jedi candidates that could defend the New Republic in the same manner that the Jedi served the Old Republic.
Dorsk 81 was one of the first 12 students at Luke Skywalker's academy. He hailed from planet Khomm where the native race had perfected cloning and believed it was the best way to preserve their genetic lineage. Dorsk 81 was the 81st of 83 clones of the original Dorsk.
Admiral Daala of the Galactic Empire was determined to wipe out the Jedi of the new academy and targeted the planet Khomm as well as the academy itself. On Yavin, Dorsk bravely used the force in an attempt to thwart the incoming Imperial fleet but was killed by this effort.
Later another clone Dorsk 82, travelled to Yavin IV and studied under Master Skywalker in place of his fallen brother.
Behind the Scenes:
Dorsk 81's death is recounted in the 1995 novel "Darksaber" by Kevin J. Anderson. It is said that Dorsk 81 used The Force to push back seventeen Star Destroyers. Fans have pointed out the over-powered nature of this plot point.
Dorsk 82 was subsequently killed in the 2001 novel "The New Jedi Order: Edge of Victory I: Conquest".
