Antar 4 / Legends Antar 4 was the fourth of six moons orbiting the Inner Rim gas giant of Antar and homeworld of the sentient Gotal species . History . Antar 4 , along with its sister moon Antar 5 , joined the Galactic Republic early in its history , sometime between 25 , 000 BBY and 22 , 000 BBY . Antar 4 ' s people developed a security force to assist the Jedi Order known as the Antarian Rangers in 620 BBY . Several centuries later the Jedi Order assisted their Antarian cousins by sending a peacekeeper , known as Jedi Master Jorus C ' baoth , to mediate a Duinuogwuin – Gotal conflict . In 38 BBY , Tayvor Mandirly , a Human agricultural expert and the uncle of Bail Organa , traveled to Antar 4 to investigate a dispute on the Colfillini plantations there . However , after he made a stand against the practice of working people to death , he was murdered by Raxis and Nolid , members of a local criminal organization . His body was burned and nailed to a stake and the first people to discover it were the Jedi Knights , Qui - Gon Jinn and Obi - Wan Kenobi . Kenobi found this very disturbing and suffered nightmares of it for a long time afterwards . Mandirly ' s sister , Bail ' s mother , also found his death hard to take and her grief eventually killed her . However , Raxis and Nolid were only fined by the local government for the murder . Following the settling of that conflict , the Separatist Crisis began to erupt across the Republic , causing a growing sense of urgency amongst the Senate and the Jedi High Council . In 23 BBY , during Fete Week , the Roshu Sune terrorists attacked a chapter house of the Rangers and issued the Articles of Secession to the Senate . Refusing to recognize the authority of mere terrorists , the High Council launched a Jedi / Ranger co - op mission to retake the world . Led by Masters Saesee Tiin and Coleman Trebor , the mission was considered a victory by the Republic , but left the native Gotals disgruntled . Many natives were prompted by the violence to immigrate to the colony world Atzerri . As the Separatist movement gained momentum and the Confederacy of Independent Systems was formed , the Clone Wars ignited on Geonosis , causing a firestorm across the galaxy . Seven months after the First Battle of Geonosis , Antar 4 was conquered by the Separatist Droid Army , with the leader of the Separatist group , Count Dooku , setting up a command headquarters within one of the moon ' s industrial palaces . As the world ' s populace lived in poverty amongst the ruins of their home , rogue Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos infiltrated Dooku ' s camp , walking right into his command center to feign defection that even members of the Jedi High Council believed to be true . Defeating the Dark Jedi Tol Skorr and Kadrian Sey before entering the Count ' s inner sanctum , Vos met with the former Jedi after being escorted inside by former Master Sora Bulq . Facing Vos in a duel , the Count was pleased with Vos ' skills , though the older man was able to best him easily . Accepting Vos into his cadre , the Count and his followers left for Tibrin to " free " its populace from the Republic . The moon was conquered during the Yuuzhan Vong War . Native Senator Ta ' laam Ranth of the Galactic Alliance Senate was appointed to the Alliance High Council . Geography . A terrestrial moon , the seasons varied wildly from each other , with extreme tides caused by Antar ' s nearly parallel rotational axis and orbital plane . A unique series of eclipses would plummet the world in darkness on occasion as the gas giant Antar 4 orbited cut off light from its star . Due to the rotation period of the world , the moon was devoid of polar caps and was made up mostly of water - covered surfaces . With a crust rich in silicon , nickel , iron , and the magnetism of magnetite in conjunction with the electromagnetic field of the stars , the moon ' s inhabitants were forced to develop a unique sensory ability to negate the magnetic effects of their world .
