Carnelion IV Carnelion IV was a icy planet located in the galaxy . Generations before the Invasion of Naboo , a war was fought by the people of the planet , which resulted in their demise , and placed a sea of toxic gas over the remains of their civilization . Between the war ' s destruction and the dense debris field surrounding the planet , no one ever visited the world . Three years after the Invasion of Naboo , Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi and Padawan Anakin Skywalker responded to a distress call from the planet and damaged their T - 6 shuttle while attempting to navigate its debris field , forcing them to crash - land . Surviving the crash , the two Jedi soon discovered an ongoing battle , encountering Carnelion IV natives Kolara and Pran . Description . Carnelion IV was an icy world covered in mountain s , with a sea of poisonous gas covering most of the lower points of the world in the aftermath of a war between its inhabitants . Due to the sea , a good portion of the human population mutated into what the survivors called Fishers which often hijacked airships , and introduced Corpse - leech es and other assorted creatures , making traveling on foot dangerous , and forcing the Open and Closed to live in the mountains . History . Early history . At some point prior to the Invasion of Naboo , an advanced civilization was living on Carnelion IV that eventually dissolved into war between two factions called the Open and the Closed . The Galactic Republic did not try to interfere due to the fact that the world had no important exports . The war destroyed the surface cities , which became known as " The World That Was " , covered them with a sea of poisonous gas which mutated many of the inhabitants , and left a debris field above the planet . Due to the severity of the destruction , the galaxy at large assumed the planet ' s inhabitants had been annihilated in the war ; however , a small portion did survive and continued the war for some time . Distress call . Three years after the Invasion of Naboo , Sera , in hopes of attracting Jedi in order to end the destructive conflict , sent out a distress call which led Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker to the troubled world . After failing to successfully navigate the debris field above the planet , the duo crashed onto the surface , where to their surprise , they found an airship battle raging on the supposedly dead world . Spotting one of the airships crashing , they pulled it towards them just in time for its crew - the Open Mother Pran and Kolara - to jump off . Upon landing and seeing her ship destroyed , Pran inquired whether Kenobi and Skywalker were Open or Closed at gunpoint . Confused , they said that they were Jedi investigating a distress call , prompting Pan to ask what a Jedi was . After another round of mutual confusion , a Closed airship spotted them and began firing upon the group . Though they all initially took cover , Kenobi managed to disable the entire airship by himself . A crew member on the airship - the Closed member Grecker - attempted to jump to land , prompting Pran to make fun of him until Skywalker caught him and helped Grecker onto the cliffside . The Open leader , infuriated , told Skywalker to get out of the way so she could shoot Grecker , prompting the Closed to raise his own pistol in response . Though Skywalker disabled their weapons with his lightsaber , they immediately pulled out knives and lunged at each other , only for Kenobi to whisk their blades away . After a furious banter between Grecker and Pran after the Jedi asked them why they hated each other , Kenobi decided that he and Skywalker should leave , only to be stopped by Grecker claiming that Kenobi had killed them all . After asking and being informed that traveling on foot unarmed was in essence a death sentence , the Jedi decided to see the Open and Closed to safety . Later , upon seeing the remains of the airships the Open and Closed had been traveling on , Kenobi inquired if they could be repaired . As the only intact parts were an Open airbag and a Closed gondola , they initially did not like the idea , with Grecker claiming it would be an " abomination " and that Open and Closed did not mix . However , upon hearing that an offworld transmission had called the Jedi here - something that they had lost the ability to do in the early days of the war - they changed their minds about combining the remains of the airships . However , at that moment , corpse - leeches spotted the group . Sensing that they were nearly mindless , Kenobi instructed his Padawan to send them away with the Force . However it did not work and Skywalker slayed them instead , apologizing to his Master for his failure . The group then combined the remains of the airships and took off , unaware that Fishers had seen them . As they sailed above the Celadon Sea , Grecker inquired where the distress signal had originated from . Telling him not to concern himself , Kenbobi thanked him and Pran for bringing himself and Skywalker as far as they had , and complimented them on how they were working together . Just then , a kite with a box attached flew by . Telling Kolara to stay back , Pran and Grecker retrieved the box - which only contained a piece of art - untied it from the kite , and tossed it overboard , attracting the attention of a group of Fishers . After the box had been disposed of , Kolara explained to Skywalker what was in the box ( as she secretly had a piece of art ) and that they weren ' t supposed to have any , simply because her elders said so . Meanwhile , Grecker and Kenobi were discussing the Jedi ' s relationship with his Padawan , and Skywalker began tinkering with his lightsaber . Upon learning that the Padawan was good with machines , Kolara called Pran over , who produced a droid brain for him to fix . Not realizing the dynamics of the situation , Skywalker did so , confirming the Open ' s suspicions that he could repair the immense stores of battle tech they had that were nonfunctional , and enable them to defeat the Closed . Just then , Fishers latched onto the ship . Seizing the opportunity , Kolara , amid the chaos , took Skywalker ' s lightsaber and tossed it overboard , while Pran knocked the boy out with a wrench . The pair loaded Skywalker onto a glider , launched , and fired the craft ' s airguns at the airship . As the ship fell to the surface , Kenobi and Grecker leapt off , landing in a group of Fishers , who departed after Kenobi showed them what his lightsaber could do . After a conversation about what happened to Skywalker , Kenobi departed for the origin of the distress call , telling Grecker that he could follow if he wished . Grecker followed , giving Kenobi a breath mask so they could protect themselves from the Celadon Sea . Arriving at the location from which the signal originated , they only found what appeared to be more ruins . After interrogating Grecker about what he knew of the signal , a beast appeared , prepared to attack them . At that point , Grecker sent off a flare to call for help , initially irritating Kenobi until he saw just how many beasts there were . A door in on of the walls opened , with a hooded figure beckoning Grecker to come inside . The Closed then attempted to force the figure to close the door on Kenobi , only to get shot by the figure ' s blaster pistol . Just then , Kenobi entered . The figure led the Jedi to the main room of the building , which was filled with technology and art scavenged from the World That Was , and introduced herself as Sera . She revealed that she had sent the kites with art to introduce the young of both factions to art , and had sent the distress call in order to bring a Jedi to force the Open and Closed to unite . She had scavenged holovids that showed the strength of Jedi , strength she did not posses , strength she believed could be used to unite the warring factions of the planet . When Kenobi told her that he had come here with Open and Closed working together , she scoffed , telling him that it was only to destroy what she had gathered here , as they wanted to eradicate any memory of the old times . The things she collected only reminded them of all they had lost , and that the old only understood war . Meanwhile , Kolara , Pran , and Skywalker arrived at one of the Open ' s fortresses , where Pran showcased the Padawan ' s gift for repairing machines . After he repaired the rest of the war tech , Pran tricked Skywalker into giving them the source of the distress signal so they could find and destroy it . After the adults of the Open left , the young of the sect debated amongst themselves whether or not to help the Scavenger ; a debate that was quickly resolved by Skywalker when he revealed he could build transports from the tech lying around , and when he realized and exposed precisely why the adults wanted the Scavenger dead : to keep the young focused on the war , and not distracted by her gifts of art . Meanwhile , Sera showed Kenobi the machine she had used to call him - which had broken down after her transmission - and and a broken datapad showing a warrior with a lightsaber . She explained that it had given her the inspiration to call Jedi to the planet and forcefully restore peace , as the datapad had shown the warrior ' s immense power and given instructions on how to contact Jedi . After Kenobi inquired the color of the saber , Sera , not understanding its significance , replied that it had been red . The Closed , having been signaled by Grecker ' s flare , arrived and began attacking Kenobi , who had exited the building to defend Sera . The Open , having been tipped off by Skywalker , arrived a little later , engaging the Closed and nearly killing Kenobi before Skywalker , having build speeders with the parts in the Open ' s fortress , arrived with the Open young and scooped him up . The Padawan deposited his Master on the roof of Sera ' s fortress , where the others had already landed and were becoming acquainted with the Scavenger . She explained her mission , but believed that it had been ruined by Kenobi leading the Open and Closed to her . She explained to the children that the best they could hope for was for the factions to wipe each other out , only to lead to Kolara and the others to go and join the rest of the Open in the battle . Having lead his Padawan into the complex , Kenobi asked Skywalker to fix the communications terminal Sera had shown him . After he had done so , Kenobi sent out a message to the Republic claiming the atmosphere of the planet had a high concentration of tibanna gas . The fleet responded immediately , with a fleet of at least four " Consular " - class cruisers arriving in the sky , ending the destructive battle below . Unknown to the Republic , Kenobi had done this simply because it would halt the war for a time , giving the inhabitants time to consider whether they preferred peace to war . After explaining this to his Padawan , Skywalker , who had been contemplating leaving the Jedi Order , Skywalker decided to stay with the Order . Inhabitants . Carnelion IV was once home to an advanced human civilization capable of space travel , but it was quickly destroyed when the Closed - Open war started , leaving the factions at a relatively primitive level of technology , having no repulsorlifts or blasters and forced to use slugthrowers and knives in battle . The downgrade in technology was aided by the Celadon Sea , which covered the ruins of the old cities , and forced the Closed and Open to live in the mountains . It also gave rise to the Fishers , a species of humans that had been heavily mutated by the poisonous gas . They had some traces of sentience , as they were able to use ropes and weapons to attack and hijack airships . The remaining human populace , for the most part , wanted to forget the times before the war and focus solely on the fighting . This caused them to want to destroy anything that might divert their young ' s focus , such as Sera , who wished to stop the war and rebuild the old civilization . Behind the scenes . Carnelion IV first appeared in " Obi - Wan & Anakin , Part I " , the first installment of the comic miniseries " " . The comic was written by Charles Soule , illustrated by Marco Checchetto , and published January 6 , 2016 .
