Galactic History 46: Nadd's Legacy

Once ruled by the Sith Lord Freedon Nadd, Onderon had gained a dark reputation. Master Arca Jeth sent three Jedi, including the brothers Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma, to act as stewards of the planet and bring peace to its people. When the Jedi arrived, Onderon’s ruler–Queen Amanoa–begged for the Jedi’s help in protecting her people from the warrior Beast Riders, who soon captured her daughter Galia.

Upon investigating, the Jedi learned the truth: Galia and the Beast Rider warlord Oron Kira had arranged the abduction together, planning to marry and unite their warring cultures. Queen Amanoa was actually a descendant of Freedon Nadd, strong in the dark side, and the Jedi were among her enemies. The queen’s forces battled with those of the Beast Riders and the Jedi.

Cay Qel-Droma lost his arm in the fighting, and only the arrival of Arca Jeth–who used battle meditation to turn the battle in the Jedi’s favor–saved Onderon. With Queen Amanoa’s defeat, Galia and Oron Kira began rebuilding their world.

Galactic History 47: Naddist Rebels

With Queen Amanoa dead, Onderon enjoyed a brief period of peace, but a shadow still hung over the planet. So-called “Naddist Rebels” began to emerge, a sect that revered the teachings of the Sith Lord Freedon Nadd.

Master Arca Jeth and his students sought to cleanse Onderon of Nadd’s influence by moving Nadd’s sarcophagus to Onderon’s moon, Dxun, but they were ambushed by Naddists who stole the sarcophagus. While seeking out the Naddists, Arca Jeth discovered that King Ommin, long thought dead, was being kept alive in a secret facility.

Also a follower of Nadd, Ommin joined forces with Nadd’s undying spirit and managed to capture Arca Jeth. The king fled to a secret stronghold while Arca Jeth’s student, Ulic Qel-Droma, called for Republic reinforcements.

Galactic History 48: The Audiences on Onderon

The Jedi had uncovered Freedon Nadd’s tomb, but its sarcophagus was stolen by Naddist rebels loyal to the dead Sith Lord’s teachings. With Jedi Master Arca Jeth captured, Ulic Qel-Droma called for Republic forces and Onderon’s capital, Iziz, was besieged.

During the battle, Satal Keto and Aleema, leaders of the Krath Sith cult, arrived on Onderon seeking Sith knowledge. They went before King Ommin, who gave Satal an amulet that would allow him to understand the ancient Sith language. Their audience was interrupted by Ulic Qel-Droma, who sought to rescue his Master Arca Jeth from King Ommin’s clutches.

Satal and Aleema escaped, only to encounter the spirit of Freedon Nadd himself. Calling them the inheritors of his legacy, Nadd promised that he would lead the Krath to glory. Meanwhile, the Jedi saw Nadd’s sarcophagus sealed away on Dxun, locked behind Mandalorian iron.

Galactic History 49: Exar Kun

When the Jedi teach of the dangers of pride and overreach, they often speak of Exar Kun. A promising Jedi who trained on Dantooine, Exar Kun was known for his talent and his temper. He was intensely curious about all matters of the Force, and disagreed with his Master over the dangers of the dark side.

Exar Kun believed he was strong enough to study the dark side without being corrupted by it. Denied access to dark side teachings, however, Exar Kun left the Jedi in disgust. When he heard the Jedi had sealed the Sith Lord Freedon Nadd’s sarcophagus away on the jungle moon of Dxun, he went to Dxun to seek the tomb.

Breaking through the tomb’s seals, Exar Kun was confronted by the spirit of Freedon Nadd. Impressed by his power, Nadd told Exar Kun to journey to the Sith holy world of Korriban.

Galactic History 50: Basilisk

Since their grueling campaign against the Nevoota, the Mandalorians had only grown in power, cutting a swathe through the galaxy in search of worthy opponents. When the Mandalorians besieged the planet Basilisk, the Basiliskans–reptilian droid-builders and legendary technologists–learned that the stories of Mandalorian battle prowess were true.

Realizing they couldn’t win even with Republic aid, the Basiliskans chemically poisoned their own world, hoping to take their conquerors with them. But the Mandalorians were victorious nonetheless, enslaving the Basiliskans and eventually turning them into mindless beasts of war.

More importantly, the Mandalorians captured many of the unique droids that the Basiliskans created. After this conquest, they were able to mass-produce the droids for themselves. Centuries later, the Mandalorians’ Basilisk war droids would become a legendary terror during the Mandalorian Wars.
