Chelloa Chelloa was a terrestrial planet in the Grumani sector in Outer Rim Territories . It was first settled by the Galactic Republic as an agricultural world . During the Republic Dark Age , the planet was occupied by the Chagras Hegemony . Following the death of Sith Lord Chagras , the planet fell under the domain of his nephew Daiman , ruler of the Daimanate fiefdom . Daiman discovered large deposits of baradium beneath the planet ' s surface and implemented large scale mining and processing to supply his war effort . The mining operations depopulated much of the planet and attracted the attention of both the Jedi Order and Daiman ' s estranged brother Odion , fellow Sith Lord and ruler of the Odionate . Following the failed Operation Influx by Jedi agents , Daiman initiated a planetwide crackdown and prepared for war with Odion . He covertly imported ten kinetic corruptor s disguised as mobile munitions complex es as bait to lure Odion . Chelloa ' s surface was subsequently destroyed and rendered uninhabitable following a climatic engagement which destroyed much of the Odionate invasion force . Meanwhile , Daiman managed to evacuate himself and most of his troops . However , most of the planet ' s remaining population were safely evacuated through the efforts of the Jedi Knights Kerra Holt and Gorlan Palladane . Description . Chelloa was a terrestrial agrarian planet capable of sustaining various species , including Humans , Rodians , Duros , and T ' surr . Until the Republic Dark Age , it remained a rural backwater until the discovery of rich deposits of baradium beneath its surface . The planet had a significant population with several towns until its annexation by the Chagras Hegemony and its successor state the Daimanate , which encouraged large - scale baradium mining operations that destroyed much of the natural environment . By 1032 BBY , only seven mining towns including Jenith , Arboth and Picomith remained , with a total population of 60 , 000 sentients . Jenith was located near a large mountain range which was the site of Daiman ' s private alpine compound and included a spaceport . In 1032 BBY , Chelloa was located in the heart of the Grumani sector but was situated near a hyperspace lane connected to Republic space . Due to its proximity to Republic space and its baradium operations , the planet became a target of the Jedi Operation Influx . History . During the early years of the Galactic Republic , Chelloa was settled by Republic colonists as an agricultural world . During the New Sith Wars , the planet was invaded and occupied by the Chagras Hegemony , one of the splinter states formed from the New Sith Empire . Following the death of the Sith Lord Chagras , the planet fell under the domain of his nephew Daiman , ruler of the Daimanate princedom . After he discovered the surface was filled with baradium , Daiman strip - mined the entire planet , decimating the local inhabitants ' homes and meager resources . Many of the residents were also moved offworld to work and fight near the frontiers . Gorlan Palladane , a local miner and former Jedi Knight , established contact with the Jedi Order , becoming an informant and helping the Order prepare a military strike on Daiman ' s holdings on Chelloa . He was also the leader of the Chelloan resistance which sought to aid the Republic and Jedi against the Sith by providing intelligence . He used a transmitter built by the Rodian mechanic Skodo to communicate with the Order . However , the interstellar relays were intercepted by the rival Sith Lord Odion , ruler of the Odionate . A Jedi team under Jedi Master Vannar Treece launched a strike known as Operation Influx which destroyed several of Daiman ' s cargo liners and raided the spaceport . However , they were interrupted by the arrival of Odion , who unleashed a kinetic corruptor that destroyed a large area of Squatter ' s Hill and killed several slaves and soldiers alike . The entire Jedi strike team with the exception of Kerra Holt was killed . However , she was rescued by Palladane who managed to evacuate several lucky survivors onto a cargo liner . Arriving at the town of Jenith , they encountered Daiman who expressed little concern for his people but was preoccupied with counteracting Odion ' s moves . As part of his greater plan of defeating Odion , Daiman imported ten more kinetic corruptors disguised as mobile munitions complex es and a fleet of transports , to deceived his enemies into thinking he was going to expand baradium mining operations . He intended to lure Odion to land an invasion force on Chelloa where they would be trapped and obliterated by the kinetic corruptors , along with all life on the planet . Trying to determine the source of the intelligence leakage , he apprehended and tortured to death Skodo . His troops also replaced the transmitter with one of Daiman ' s , to keep track of any accomplices . When Kerra Holt attempted to assassinate Daiman , he tricked her into believing that Odion posed a greater threat with his mobile factory The Spike , which produced more kinetic corruptors . Holt then took on Odion during a space duel , leaking information on Daiman ' s expanded baradium operations . Meanwhile , Daiman ' s troops apprehended Palladane after he tried to communicate with Odion , trying to say Chelloa by telling him that there were no more baradium mines . Palladane was tortured by Daiman who retaliated to this intelligence leakage by ordering a planetwide crackdown including the destruction of Jenith . However , Palladane was rescued by Holt , who also saved his family and several Chelloa citizens including village leaders . They then fled to the town of Arboth where they had a safehouse . While scouting Arboth ' s spaceport , Holt discovered that the transports carrying the workers were empty . Determined to escaped Daimanate oppression , Holt and Palladane made preparations to evacuate Chelloa ' s population of 60 , 000 . Chelloan resistance operatives led by the two Jedi Knights hijacked several empty transports in Arboth spaceport , creating the makeshift Freedom Fleet . While fighting Daimanite forces , Palladane was killed ; however , Holt succeeded in evacuating most of Chelloa ' s rump population . Meanwhile , Odion ' s Lightning Guard landed at the site of the mobile munitions complex and overcame the token Daimanite resistance only to discover that they had stumbled into a trap . The ten Kinetic corruptors wiped out much of the Odionate invasion force , incinerating Chelloa ' s surface and rendering it uninhabitable . Meanwhile , Daiman ' s forces escaped offworld as well . Odion himself survived the battle , but was grievously wounded during the blast .
