Arca Jeth Arca Jeth was an Arkanian male Jedi Master with Sephi blood who served the Galactic Republic as Watchman of the Onderon worlds on behalf of the Jedi Order . From his skill with the lightsaber to his mastery of the Force , Jeth was revered as one of the wisest and most powerful Jedi of his day , and was hailed by his kinsmen as a champion of the Arkanian race . Jeth primarily resided on his homeworld of Arkania , where he instructed many of the era ' s most prominent Jedi in the ways of the Force . In 4030 BBY , Jeth was part of the Jedi and Republic task force that was sent to the Hapes Cluster to eliminate the threat of the Lorell Raiders , pirates who had preyed on Republic shipping lanes for decades . Jeth was then chosen to lead two dozen Jedi Knights to combat the Nelori Marauders , whose quest of terror and piracy spanned throughout the Hyabb - Twith Corridor . The Marauders were defeated through Jeth ' s use of Jedi battle meditation , a rarely seen Force ability that simultaneously invigorated his allies and demoralized his enemies . The Arkanian Master proved himself again when he ended the Great Droid Revolution on Coruscant through a demonstration of " " mechu macture " " : the incapacitation of droids via the Force . Jeth harassed the slavery operations of the space - city Ereesus shortly afterward , and liberated the Twi ' lek Doneeta family , whose young son Tott was identified as strong in the Force and taken as Jeth ' s apprentice . The Jedi Master returned to his praxeum on Arkania , where he trained Doneeta alongside many others , including brothers Cay and Ulic Qel - Droma , the latter of whom Jeth regarded as his most gifted student . The Arkanian Jedi sent Doneeta and the brothers Qel - Droma in 4000 BBY to settle a civil dispute on the planet Onderon between the citizens of the capital city of Iziz , and the exiled Beast Riders of the planet ' s wilderness . His charges failed utterly in their mission and , as the final battle of the Beast Wars erupted , Jeth arrived on Onderon to defeat the Sith armies of Queen Amanoa , and with whom was also banished the power of the dark side from Iziz . He and his students remained on the Inner Rim world for the next two years , during which time Amanoa ' s widower , the sorcerer - King Ommin , staged an uprising in the name of his Sith forefather , Freedon Nadd . Jeth was captured and tortured by the king and the spirit of Nadd , but was ultimately rescued by a team of Jedi Knights , led by Ulic Qel - Droma , and the prodigious young Nomi Sunrider . Although the dark side was permanently driven from Onderon through the efforts of the Jedi , the oppression of the Sith survived in the form of the Krath cult of the Empress Teta system . Master Jeth assumed responsibility of the besieged Tetan worlds , and sent Qel - Droma and Sunrider to join the Republic Navy in battle against the Sith . Their forces were soundly defeated by the sorcery of the Krath , however , and the Jedi Assembly organized a mass - gathering on the planet Deneba in response , to discuss the growing dark side threat . Jeth was present for the Jedi conclave and advocated for swift and decisive action against the new Sith , but spoke sternly against the infiltration mission proposed by Ulic Qel - Droma . It was during the convocation ' s recess that an army of Krath war droid s beset the Jedi , and Master Jeth joined his fellows in battle against them . However , he suffered a fatal blaster wound , and became one with the Force in the arms of his greatest student , giving the latter a desire for revenge that would lead him to the dark side . Biography . Knight of the Republic . Arca Jeth was an Arkanian male with Sephi blood from the homeworld of the former , Arkania , who served with distinction as a member of the Jedi Order . His aptitude with the Force and dedication to the service of the Galactic Republic saw him rise quickly within the ranks of the Jedi . Jeth was one of many Knights of the Republic sent to the defense of the Hapes Cluster from the Lorell Raiders , pirates who had discovered a number of safe routes through the Transitory Mists from which they could attack Republic shipping lanes . In 4030 BBY , a Republic task force commanded by Jeth and stationed just outside the Mists destroyed a large force of Raiders , a loss from which they could not recover . In their new - found freedom , the women of the Hapes Cluster , who had been forced into servitude by the male Raiders , instituted a new matriarchal society that no man would ever govern , ruled instead by an all - powerful Queen Mother . Jeth next participated in a series of fierce battles between the Jedi Knights and the Nelori Marauders of the planet Dachat . A series of defeats drove the enemy from their home to the safety of the Hyabb - Twith Corridor , in recognition of the local government ' s reluctance to provoke each other with mutual efforts to patrol such heavily disputed shipping lanes . The Marauders executed numerous attacks from the safety of the Corridor itself , and with each they grew bolder as they penetrated deeper into the Core . The increase in number of dead Republic citizens disturbed the Jedi and prompted a meeting on the library world of Ossus , where the decision was made to stand against the Marauders . Jeth was one of two - dozen Knights immediately sent from Ossus in pursuit of the pirates , several of whose starships were encountered and pursued through the Hyabb - Twith Corridor to their headquarters on the planet Voon . Severe damage was dealt to the Nelori stronghold , and most of those stationed therein were killed . However , the besieged Nelori were able to call for reinforcements from other Marauder bases in the vicinity . The Jedi suffered vicious reprisals upon their arrival , and of the original twenty - four dispatched to the Hyabb - Twith Corridor , only Jeth and four others survived . Forced to call for aid themselves , the beleaguered Jedi endured another forty - eight hours before thirty Knights arrived in their support . Since the initial attack , the sum of the Marauders had gathered from throughout the Corridor and established a last bastion on Voon . Together , the Jedi converged upon the Nelori stronghold , only to find it seemingly deserted . Troubled by the suspicious absence of the enemy , the Jedi wondered how the Marauders could have escaped the planet beneath their notice . Jeth stretched out with the Force and sensed that below the Nelori stronghold was a mass of indistinguishably tangled and entwined life , the likes of which he had never felt before . Jeth cautioned his fellow Jedi , and together they descended deep into the subterranean caverns that pocketed Voon ' s crust . Warily they came upon a crudely cut , sloped corridor which led to a cavernous antechamber that passed into an adjacent chamber , where Jeth once again sensed a dark coldness permeating their surroundings . Suddenly , the antechamber erupted with blaster fire as more than two hundred Nelori Marauders attacked the enclosed Jedi , killing four immediately . With the other Knights on his heels , Jeth attempted to halt the Marauder ' s advance , and together they formed a defensive perimeter around their fallen comrades . The Jedi bulwark was little match for the Marauder ' s ferocity , and their numbers slowly dwindled . Meanwhile , Jeth began to realize that his own attacks had become fiercer , empowered by emotions without control of the Force , used to counter the enemy ' s attack . With an adjustment of focus , Jeth instead began to concentrate on an image of victory as he gave himself to the will of the Force . What followed was an unexpected change of events , with the tide of the battle soon turned in favor of the invigorated Jedi , while the demoralized Marauders were suddenly in a state of upheaval . Jeth ' s sudden implementation of battle meditation resulted in a swift Nelori rout and defeat , thus erasing their threat from the Hyabb - Twith Corridor and ultimately the Core . Jedi Master . New responsibilities . In 4015 BBY , the prototype HK - series assassin droid , HK - 01 , led a violent insurrection on the Republic capital of Coruscant itself , in which thousands of automatons revolted against their sentient owners . In the weeks that followed , countless citizens fell to the murderous rampage of all manner of rogue droid models , from sanitation , to those specialized for security , and even protocol . However , it was the reckless abandon of the assassin and especially lethal Juggernaut war droid s that warranted the intervention of the Jedi Order ' s greatest Masters , of whom Jeth was now counted among . He disabled HK - 01 ' s entire droid army via the Force in the subsequent defense of the capital , and with the destruction of the lead hunter - killer , the Great Droid Revolution was brought to an end . Jeth continued to serve the Jedi Order and the Republic in the years that followed the Coruscant droid revolt . When the Masters of the Order began to forebode return of the Dark Lords of the fabled Sith Empire , Jedi were sent to various sites throughout the galaxy that were once concentrated places of dark side power . Jeth returned to his homeworld of Arkania , a planet that in yesteryear had been a longstanding repository of ancient Sith knowledge . He established a Jedi praxeum in the wilderness , far removed from the most remote diamond mines that pocketed the planet , and trained as many as twenty students at any given time . Jeth ' s students learned meditation , powers of the Force , and lightsaber combat drills that imitated the lightning - fast strikes of the Arkanian dragon . While his students trained , Jeth continued to survey the planet and searched for any influence , no matter how small , of the dark side . In that era , the public ' s perception of the Jedi Order was that of an elitist fraternity , an opinion that was frowned upon by an acquaintance of Jeth ' s , Miraluka Jedi Master Noab Hulis . In an experiment , Hulis brokered a deal with Jeth to train an illustrious financier named Barrison Draay , as well as his lowly retainer , Haazen . Jeth also agreed to train Hulis ' daughter Krynda , the third of Hulis ' daughters to become Jedi . While after a time , the Jedi Council deemed complete the training of Draay and Krynda Hulis , Haazen was looked upon as deficient . A Knighting ceremony was held at the Arkanian praxeum , where Jeth , Noab Hulis , and several additional Jedi bestowed rank upon the successful apprentices . They openly rejected the promotion of Haazen , who Jeth rebuked for his failure to embrace the Jedi way and denied the opportunity for reconsideration . While Draay and Hulis were wed and became great Jedi , Haazen ' s dejection eventually led to his fall to the dark side of the Force . On a particular offworld mission , Jeth intercepted a vessel en route to the slave markets on the space city of Ereesus . He defeated the slave drivers and freed the captives , among them the Twi ' lek Doneeta family . Awed by the Master ' s power , their Force - sensitive son Tott wished to be trained as a Jedi , and Jeth obliged . He returned to Arkania with the boy and trained him alongside many students , including two sent from Alderaan by their mother , Lien - Tsai Qel - Droma , a friend of Jeth ' s and a renowned Master in her own right . The Twi ' lek became close friends with her sons , the brave yet headstrong Ulic , and the mechanical - minded Cay . Not long afterward , Master Jeth was caught in a fire and severely burned . Many of his injuries were healed and deformities repaired by Arkanian doctors , but Jeth ' s pointed ears — a trait prominent among those of Sephi heritage — were not restored . Because he was regarded as a Jedi champion among the Arkanian people , surgeons did not reconstruct his ears , and instead mended them to conform with those of pure blood , baseline Arkanians . The prominent Adasca family of Arkania also altered all known holos of Jeth so that past records reflected his current appearance . Around that time , he loaned his holocron to friend and fellow Jedi Master Thon of Ambria , to assist in the training of his latest apprentice , a young Human woman named Nomi Sunrider . Galactic turmoil . Jedi Watchman . In 4000 BBY , Republic explorers chanced upon Onderon , an underdeveloped Inner Rim world previously unknown to galactic astrographers . In accordance with the Jedi Order ' s mandate to liaise with new civilizations on behalf of the Republic , Jeth was assigned as Watchman of the Onderon worlds , and agreed to help the namesake planet ' s Queen Amanoa bring an end to centuries of civil war . At the end of a drill in which Ulic Qel - Droma displayed his skill in lightsaber combat against a training droid , Jeth called him , his brother , and Tott Doneeta together , to explain — through benefit of an extremely lifelike Force illusion — the history of Onderon . According to him , the planet was inhabited by two separate and very distinct societies : the established society of the walled city of Iziz ruled by Amanoa , and the Beast Riders , descendants of exiles who refused to abide her sovereignty , and rode the ferocious creatures of the planet ' s wilderness . Although Watchman duties had been given to Jeth , he instead sent his three apprentices in what would be a test of their Knighthood to bring the conflict on Onderon to a peaceful resolution . Doneeta and the Qel - Droma brothers arrived at the walled city of Iziz , and discovered that its citizens were under the influence of the dark side spirit of the ancient Sith Lord Freedon Nadd . The Jedi found themselves suddenly in the midst of a conflict when Amanoa declared war on the Beast Riders . The Queen wrought havoc upon her enemies with Sith magic learned from Nadd ' s ghost , and victory for her was nigh at hand . However , Jeth , who had sensed the failure of his charges from afar , arrived on Onderon in his personal ship , the " SunGem " , and demoralized Amanoa ' s forces through his mastery of Jedi battle meditation , which strengthened the resolve of the Beast Riders into victory . In the battle ' s wake , stern rebukes were given to Ulic Qel - Droma for decisions made in haste that ultimately resulted in unnecessary bloodshed , and also to Cay , for the careless loss of his arm to a Royal Protector of the queen . Jeth was determined to also break the pall of Freedon Nadd ' s spirit over Iziz , an oppression suffered by the Onderonian monarchy for centuries . With the help of Amanoa ' s daughter , Princess Galia , Jeth located the queen in the tomb of Freedon Nadd , and cast the Dark Lord ' s power from the city , which also resulted in Amanoa ' s death . He later oversaw the consecration by Republic laws the union of Queen Galia and Oron Kira , the leader of the Beast Riders , and their official assumption of planetary sovereignty . The Naddist Revolt . Galia was given official dominion of Onderon with her husband , King and Beast - Lord Oron Kira , and enjoyed two years of relative peace as their two societies attempted to integrate and thus rebuild themselves . Jeth remained on Onderon with his apprentices during that time , but occasional and seemingly - random acts of terrorism led him to believe that a darkness caused by the residual potency of Freedon Nadd ' s remains still overshadowed Iziz , and that wielders of Sith magic continued to practice their arts in secret . In an effort to lift the pall of the dark side , Jeth ordered the relocation of both the sarcophagi of Amanoa and Nadd to the farthest side of Dxun , the primary moon of Onderon , in a tomb - fortress constructed of nearly - indestructible Mandalorian iron . Several Beast Rider patrols were also charged with surveillance of the catacombs beneath Iziz . Jeth then sent Doneeta to the nearby planet Ambria , whereupon resided the Jedi Master Thon , from whom the Twi ' lek was to request reinforcements . His mission accomplished , Doneeta returned soon afterward with the Vultan Jedi Oss Wilum , just as the funeral procession of the late Amanoa and her Sith forefather began with Jeth at the head . The solemnities were interrupted by Beast Rider Commander Gobee , who rushed to alert Jeth of the fast - approaching legion of darksider s discovered during his subterranean reconnaissance . An enormous tunneling war machine burst forth to assail the procession just then , from which emerged a massive ironclad Dark Jedi at the forefront of a host of Naddist soldiers . Jeth was immediately smitten by a powerful Force attack from an unknown and unseen foe , and Doneeta and Ulic Qel - Droma were compelled to his protection while the remaining Jedi joined Oron Kira and the present Beast Riders in battle against the Naddist army . As he began to recover , Jeth realized that the tactics of the Dark Jedi , one called Warb Null , were diversionary ; while he held Cay and Wilum at bay , and with Ulic and Doneeta attending to Jeth ' s defense , the dark side soldiers confiscated both sarcophagi and loaded them onto their groundboring machine . With their mission successfully executed , Null disengaged his opponents to rejoin the Naddists in their underground retreat . The assault against Jeth confirmed his suspicions that Sith magic still maintained a negative influence over the city , one that had to be eliminated immediately . Queen Galia then suggested that the Jedi seek out her supposedly dead father , King Ommin , whom Galia revealed to be an even more powerful Sith sorcerer than her late mother . Wilum , Doneeta , and Cay Qel - Droma remained topside with Oron Kira to secure the palace , while Jeth and Ulic followed Galia into the tunnel created by the Naddist war machine . They soon entered the underground lair of Ommin , where he was confined to a necessary mechanical life support contraption . Jeth immediately recognized the heaviness of dark - side influence about the king , and demanded that he relinquish control of the stolen sarcophagi . At first Ommin feigned ignorance , but he soon revealed that the very spirit of Freedon Nadd had been called from the depths of Chaos for his benefit . The specter of the Dark Lord appeared at that moment , and Jeth deduced that it was Nadd that fueled the sorcery that still plagued the planet . The Jedi Master ' s suspicion was confirmed by Ommin , who was no longer the invalid he had once pretended to be , and had risen up to smother Jeth with dark side energies afforded him by the power of Nadd ' s ghost . Present also was Warb Null and the Naddist army , who were left to deal with Qel - Droma and Galia while the unconscious Arkanian was taken by Ommin and Nadd deeper into the king ' s lair , where they planned to subject him to such severe torment as to force him into their service . Qel - Droma dueled and killed Null in an attempt to save his Master , but was ultimately forced to flee with the queen rather than face the throng of Naddist warriors between him and the departed king . Jeth was hung on a wall and endured weeks of torture at the hands of King Ommin and the spirit of Freedon Nadd , wracked by the crushing power of the dark side . Ulic Qel - Droma and Galia meanwhile discovered that Iziz had been recaptured by the Naddists , and the Jedi sent a call to the Galactic Senate for reinforcements . Along with the full strength of the Republic Navy that arrived were five Jedi Knights : Qrrrl Toq , Shoaneb Culu , Kith Kark , and Humans Dace Diath and Nomi Sunrider , the latter of whom employed her inherent facility with battle meditation to swiftly turn the tide of battle in their favor . Two unexpected visitors named Aleema and Satal Keto had also come to Onderon , indirectly from the Empress Teta system and in search of King Ommin ' s Sith wisdom . Their initiation included a visit with the humbled Jeth , whom Ommin explained was delusional and in the process of being remade into an agent of the Sith . Jeth , however , maintained his resolve , and alerted King Ommin to prepare himself for the arrival of Jedi rescuers ; a team of Knights soon stormed Ommin ' s stronghold , wherein all the king ' s present Dark Jedi and war droids were slain , and Jeth was freed . Nadd ' s spirit then appeared and condemned his failed servant Ommin to the mercy of the Jedi , whose newly - restored leader , Jeth , confronted and banished the Dark Lord ' s ghost from Onderon forever . The planet was placed under martial law in the aftermath of the battle , and Jeth , along with his Jedi Knights and the king and queen , ventured to Dxun for the entombment ceremony of the last vestiges of a long - lived Sith dynasty finally commenced on the grounds of the new mausoleum . Jeth also recorded the events of and surrounding the Freedon Nadd Uprising within the recesses of the Great Jedi holocron . The new Sith . The Jedi and Republic forces returned to Onderon and continued to assist the natives in the reestablishment of a viable civilization under new and just leadership . Jeth and his apprentices enjoyed a brief respite on Onderon , during which time they learned to fly the drexl mounts of the Beast Riders , collected and cataloged all Sith artifacts seized from Naddist possession , and established a permanent Jedi base to combat resurgent dark side threats on the planet . Initially unknown to the Jedi , the spirit of Freedon Nadd made contact with Aleema and Satal Keto during their visit to the planet , and offered to train them both in the ways of Sith magic . With power bestowed upon them in subsequent months of Sith tutelage , the Ketos formed the Krath cult of sorcerers and installed themselves as rulers of the Empress Teta system , from which they planned to terrorize the galaxy once their own system was brought to heel . Tidings of the Krath ' s malice reached Jeth who , as the Jedi Assembly ' s chosen warrior for his experience with dark side threats , assumed Watchman responsibilities of the besieged Tetan worlds . He called all the Knights to him with new assignments ; Dace Diath , Qrrrl Toq , Oss Wilum , and Shoaneb Culu were to make haste to Ossus with report of the events on Onderon ; Tott Doneeta and Cay Qel - Droma were to remain on the Inner Rim world and continue to maintain peace while they oversaw the completion of the Jedi outpost ; after a lesson in Jedi battle meditation , Nomi Sunrider was to immediately accompany Ulic Qel - Droma as Jedi representatives of the mustering Republic war effort against the Krath . A month passed following the departure of Sunrider and Qel - Droma , during which time Arca Jeth and the remaining Knights continued their work on Onderon . The Jedi Master learned through the Force that a visitor named Exar Kun would soon arrive , one with a dangerous desire for forbidden knowledge and no reservations about lying to obtain it . Prior to his departure on an errand , Jeth gave explicit instructions to Tott Doneeta and Cay Qel - Droma to neither assist Kun nor give him any information , whatsoever . He returned sometime later on an enormous drexl tamed through the Force , and was greeted by Kun , whom Jeth denied access to any of Nadd ' s Sith artifacts despite his claim as a representative of the Academy of Jedi Archaeology . Even though he refused to assist Kun , Jeth did nothing further to hinder his quest , which ultimately led the Jedi Knight to Iziz . Jeth ' s concern was elsewhere ; the Republic was scheduled to arrive in the Tetan system soon , and Jeth worried for those he had sent to join them . The Jedi were in fact defeated in battle for the capital world of Empress Teta , confounded by the Sith magic used against them by the Krath . The Jedi Assembly was alarmed by the speed with which the dark side had spread across the galaxy , and the defeat of their own prompted a summons of all Jedi to a war conference on the planet Deneba . Conclave on Deneba . The Jedi from Onderon reconnected with their battle - wearied comrades on Deneba . As they made their way to the amphitheater nestled within a mountain called Meru , Jeth and Thon expressed concern for their close friend and fellow Jedi Master Vodo - Siosk Baas , caused by his rebellious apprentice Exar Kun . Baas had yet to arrive , however , and places were taken without him , as Odan - Urr , the president of the Jedi Assembly , began the proceedings . Jeth was among those who advocated for swift military action against the Krath ; rather than confine the darkness in the galaxy as Thon had done on Ambria , Jeth believed that a unified front of light - side power would defeat the Krath . Ulic Qel - Droma , who led the failed assault on Empress Teta , instead suggested a plan to infiltrate the Krath , and learn the dark side so that it might be used against them . Jeth and nearly all those present rejected Qel - Droma ' s idea , and the Arkanian Jedi Master prepared himself to address the masses , but experienced at that moment through the Force the despair of Exar Kun , resultant of his initial embrace of the dark side of the Force . The designs of the Krath were also realized in the form of life pods that suddenly bombarded Deneba , from which emerged an army of war droids that attacked the gathered Jedi . The servant droids , which were already planetside , were reprogrammed by the Krath and joined in the Jedi assault . Surrounded by the enemy , Jeth destroyed many of the automatons through the power of the Force alone , and saved the life of Ulic Qel - Droma from one in the process . However , in a moment of distraction , Jeth was fatally blasted from behind by one of the droids , which was then destroyed by his former apprentice . In Qel - Droma ' s arms , Arca Jeth became one with the Force , leaving behind only his Jedi robes and lightsaber . Legacy . Unyielding grief and guilt plagued Ulic Qel - Droma after his Master ' s death , and he collected Jeth ' s Jedi garments to keep forever with him as a treasured heirloom . The death of so great a Jedi Master rocked many of his contemporaries , a tragedy that spurred Qel - Droma , regardless of the counsel given by his late mentor , to carry out the infiltration mission for which he had so vocally campaigned . Indeed did his action result in folly ; Qel - Droma fell to the dark side as warlord of the Krath , and soon afterward became the apprentice of Exar Kun , whose own journey into darkness had been rewarded with his acquisition of tremendous power as Dark Lord of the Sith . Together they waged the Great Sith War against the Jedi and Republic , which saw the death of another of Jeth ' s apprentices , Cay Qel - Droma , at the hands of his own brother . However , the elder Qel - Droma ultimately renounced his Sith allegiance and assisted his former allies in the final defeat of Exar Kun , who was forever bound to his temple with the wall of light technique suggested for use by Jeth during the Conclave on Deneba . Qel - Droma eventually began his own journey to redemption ten years later , and honored his fallen Master with an ice sculpture on the frozen world of Rhen Var , crafted with the blade of his lightsaber . He then vowed to reclaim his life , after he was visited and encouraged to do so by the spirit of Jeth . Shortly after the Great Sith War , Antos Wyrick , a Zeltron scientist who had obtained a sample of Arca Jeth ' s DNA , began experiments on fetuses in whom he desired to genetically engineer Force sensitivity through the combination of their cells and those of the late Jedi Master . Wyrick was unsuccessful , as none of his test subjects manifested a facility with the Force , thus dashing his dream to create an army of Mandalorian Knights with which his kinsfolk planned to avenge their defeat against the Jedi Order during the Great Sith War . Among the " descendants " of Arca Jeth was the Arkanian Offshoot Jarael , and Wyrick ' s white - haired daughter , Chantique . Another of Jeth ' s pupils , the seer Krynda Draay , who grieved in perpetuity after the loss of Barrison in the Exar Kun War , dedicated herself to vigilance against the dark side through a secret covenant of Jedi , tasked to watch for any sign of Sith resurgence . The Covenant ' s mission was inherently flawed by Jeth ' s failed Padawan Haazen who , as one of its founders , had also been Sith in disguise , and had orchestrated the near - annihilation of the Jedi Order from within . Following the sterilization of Ossus after the detonation of the Cron Cluster , the Jedi Temple on Coruscant began to take shape as the headquarters of the Order . Along its Processional Way as of 3956 BBY , a giant bronzium statue of Arca Jeth was erected alongside the likenesses of fellow Masters Ooroo and Odan - Urr . Tales of Arca Jeth ' s valiance and the circumstances of his death had become the stuff of legend among the Jedi , but heeded not so much by those of other beliefs . A university on Arkania was also renamed in honor of the deceased , whom the Arkanian people heralded as a hero of their race , which was known to be active at least through the Cold War between the Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire . Jeth ' s holocron eventually became buried on Arkania , lost until its rediscovery and subsequent possession thousands of years later by Jedi Master , historian , and archaeologist Tionne on behalf of the New Jedi Order . Although designed by fellow Jedi Master Tharis Orne , Arca Jeth created the Noetikon of Science , one of three such devices that nearly cataloged the entirety of the Jedi Archives . A measure of Jeth ' s personality was incorporated in holographic form alongside Masters Vandar Tokare and Orne , the three of them representing the " Jedi spirit of scientific inquiry . " During the Cold War , the wisdom of the Masters of all three Noetikons , including Jeth , was called upon to save the life of Jedi Master Yuon Par . Personality and traits . Arca Jeth was an elderly male of common Arkanian appearance , with white hair ; pupil - less white eyes ; clawed , four - digit hands ; and pale skin that was gnarled by age . Prior to his disfigurement by fire , Jeth had the telltale pointed ears of the Sephi , only to have them later reconstructed to resemble those of pure Arkanian descent . His raiment was a unique variation of traditional Jedi apparel ; a long , voluminous mustard - colored robe with brown pauldrons and a chain that connected them . A full - length tunic in a darker hue was worn beneath , and bound with a large - buckled belt under which was a hooded and thick - necked blouse that nearly matched the color of Jeth ' s over - robe . Jeth strove to exemplify peace and believed that all things were so in the Force . A man of unusual wisdom and insight who conveyed an air of serenity , even in the midst of serious conflict , Jeth was regarded as a quintessential Jedi of the Old Republic . His diplomacy skills were paramount in the resolution of many a conflict , though he was not hesitant to raise arms when necessary . Even still , he preferred non - aggression to violence and frequently stressed its importance with his apprentices . Jeth believed that all those with ample aptitude were worthy of Jedi membership , although he was somewhat hesitant to instruct Barrison Draay , whom he felt was too old and soft to survive the rigorous training . However , when Draay successfully completed his apprenticeship , Jeth openly confessed to gladness at having been proven wrong . Haazen , whom he had taken as a show of good faith , proved himself to be less than worthy of advancement in Jeth ' s eyes , not because of his social status , as believed by the apprentice , but rather his own lacking merit and character . Jeth often reprimanded Ulic Qel - Droma for his brash overconfidence , a trait that sometimes proved perilous for even experienced warriors , and reminded all of his apprentices that their strength was in the Force . He enjoyed friendships with many of his contemporaries , including Masters Noab Hulis , Ood Bnar , Thon , Lien - Tsai Qel - Droma , and Vodo - Siosk Baas , among others . His essence within the Noetikon of Science , however , frequently bickered with that of fellow Master Vandar Tokare , something that annoyed their partner , Tharis Orne . Jeth ' s service to the galaxy and the Jedi Order was honored in myriad ways , from monuments , to renamed universities , and through holocrons his teachings were passed down through generations . Powers and abilities . As a Jedi Guardian , Jeth was an expert swordsman who first earned legendary status with his green - bladed lightsaber during the Hyabb - Twith Campaign . Although he always carried his weapon , Jeth seldom used it in his later years . It was during the Hyabb - Twith affair when Jeth first demonstrated his facility with battle meditation . While not the first to display the ability , Jeth was but one of a handful of Jedi to ever truly master it . Jeth was able to inspire entire armies into victory , even as their defeat was only moments before imminent . He was also well known for his mastery of mechu macture , the ability to disable droids through the Force . His strong position in the light side also afforded him a wide range of abilities : focused resolve augmentation ; realistic Force illusions ; telekinetic finesse ; the transference of Force power ; Force sight , stealth and healing ; farsight , telepathy , and the mental coercion of beasts ; the ability to either purge or contain dark side power , and to even sever another being ' s connection to the Force . Jeth was an authority on galactic lore , alien species , and languages . He spoke the Arkanian tongue , Basic , and the antiquated High Galactic dialect . His vast knowledge also extended into the history and ways of the Sith , and he prided himself on his ability to recognize the dark side more clearly with age . Once it became apparent to him that Freedon Nadd ' s spirit was the source of malevolent influence in Iziz , he attempted to remove the Dark Lord ' s remains and cleanse the city thereby . Only from Amanoa was the darkness initially driven , however , and Jeth , even with assistance from other Jedi , was unable to himself reverse the planet ' s dark - side infusion . He was admittedly no match for King Ommin , whose revitalization by the spirit of Nadd granted him incredible power , of the kind Jeth had never before encountered . Nor was he able to drive the darkness from his homeworld , despite many attempts at eradication . Behind the scenes . " Master Arca , " as the character was most often referred , was created by Tom Veitch for the 1993 release of " " , the first story arc of the " " comic book series . The following year , Jeth was an influential character in Veitch ' s " " , wherein Jeth is drawn by Tony Akins , as opposed to Chris Gossett , who first penciled the character in " Ulic Qel - Droma and the Beast Wars of Onderon " . He next appeared in the of the " " , written by Veitch and another veteran " Star Wars " writer , Kevin J . Anderson , and again drawn by Chris Gossett . Jeth is prominently featured in both " Tales of the Jedi " full - cast audio dramas , voiced by Larry Keith in the first , and Jim Ward in the . Up until that point , a surname for the character had yet to be identified , and was revealed as " Jeth " with the 1996 release of the " Tales of the Jedi Companion " a sourcebook for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game published by West End Games . He was the first " Tales of the Jedi " character created by Tom Veitch , who worked closely with Chris Gossett to illustrate a satisfying death scene for the character in " Descent to the Dark Side " . Jeth was mentioned throughout Kevin J . Anderson ' s subsequent " " comic story , in the final issue of which , " " , the character Thon is mistaken by the author for Jeth as the Master of Ulic Qel - Droma . In the final " Tales of the Jedi " story arc , " " , Jeth appeared as a Force ghost in the , and as an ice sculpture in the and . He is recognized in several comic issues of the " " meta - series , one of which , " " , incorrectly misspelled his first name as " Arka " in a particular caption . The misspelling is also present in the . Paul S . Kemp ' s " " , " " by Michael Reaves , and " Empire ' s End " , both comic and " Empire ' s End " audio drama , include insignificant mentions of Jeth as well . On page nineteen of the " Tales of the Jedi Companion " it is stated that " " two dozen Jedi warriors " " were initially dispatched to deal with the Nelori threat . However , at the end of the same paragraph it incorrectly states " " Only five of the twelve Jedi survived the encounter " " . Also , the " Jedi Academy Training Manual " erroneously identifies Arca Jeth as the first Jedi to implement battle meditation on a large scale . In " Redemption 2 : The Search for Peace " , Jeth is shown with a five - fingered hand , which is contrary to all of his other comic appearances , as well as the characteristics of baseline Arkanians as defined in " The Essential Guide to Alien Species " , which correctly depicts the Jedi Master with two four - fingered hands . In addition to inclusions in an array of source and reference book material , Jeth received fleeting acknowledgements in several issues of " The Official Star Wars Fact File " , as well as mentions in the StarWars . com Databank entries for both the Jedi Order and Ulic Qel - Droma . He was also given entries within the " Star Wars Encyclopedia " and its updated version . For 2011 ' s " " video game , Arca Jeth is given a human appearance , with five - fingered hands and pupils . His hair is short , his eyes are blue , and his accent is considerably different from his original voiced appearance in the " Tales of the Jedi " audio dramas .
