Sonta , who was actually the fugitive Jedi Drake Lo ' gaan , informed her that the transport was a slave ship . Despite his warning , Onnelly went to Byss with her family and had her Force energy slowly drained by Emperor Palpatine himself , who used the world as a private retreat . Biography . The Human female Onnelly Praji was born to Tannon and Maree Praji , members of the influential House Praji ; Tannon , in particular , was the First Minister of the Coruscant Ministry of Ingress , the agency that monitored the galactic capital Coruscant ' s immigration and emigration . In 19 BBY , when the Galactic Empire came to power , Tannon took leave of his job to help relocate Onnelly and Maree to the " Emerald Splendor Estates " on the Deep Core world of Byss . The relocation was part of a much broader " recolonization effort , " intended to attract the wealthy and powerful . Despite this , Onnelly believed they would only be there for approximately a month . Before departure , Onnelly traveled to transport platform DN6 - 4435 to help load her family ' s luggage on board the craft bound for " Emerald Splendor . " Onnelly was having difficulty with the bag repulsors and asked for help from a young boy in the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order Sub - Adult Group who was passing by . The boy obliged and began carrying all the bags by himself at once . The two began conversing , and Onnelly asked the boy about his family , only to discover that they had died in the Clone Wars . The boy claimed that he had joined COMPNOR for the credits , and that he hoped to find out if any of his family had survived . When he had finished loading the bags , Onnelly introduced herself , and the boy identified himself as Jodd Sonta , although he was hesitant to do so . Onnelly noticed this , but let it pass , giving Sonta a kiss on the cheek before departing . When the transport finally prepared to depart , Onnelly was approached by Sonta once again — this time , the boy was wearing battle armor . He quickly explained to her that the possessions of the non - Humans aboard the transport were being destroyed , and that the Imperials were not going to let anyone off the transport . Sonta attempted to lead her off the transport , but Onnelly resisted , as she did not understand . He explained the situation to her bluntly — the transport was a slave ship , and Onnelly was unlikely to ever return from " Emerald Splendor . " At that moment , Inquisitor Antinnis Tremayne — flanked by stormtroopers — entered the room , intending to arrest Sonta . The boy was in fact a Jedi , Drake Lo ' gaan , who had escaped the Jedi purge of Order 66 some time prior and was acting undercover . In response to Tremayne ' s arrival , Lo ' gaan used his lightsaber to break open a nearby window and jumped off the transport . Despite Lo ' gaan ' s warning , Onnelly accompanied her family to " Emerald Splendor . " In reality , the world was Emperor Palpatine ' s private retreat . While there , Onnelly , Maree , and others like them were kept entertained , but unknown to them , Palpatine was secretly sapping away at their Force energy in order to keep himself sustained . Personality and traits . The black - haired Onnelly Praji was not adverse to performing menial tasks , such as loading luggage by herself , but could not do so without the assistance of repulsorlift technology . She was reliant on her father ' s ability to buy her what she wanted and needed , and she expected as much when her current possessions somehow failed her . Onnelly was also flirtatious when it came to her encounter with Drake Lo ' gaan ; Lo ' gaan himself , having been trained as a Jedi , found it difficult to resist striking up a relationship with the girl . Behind the scenes . Onnelly Praji first appeared in the Paul Ens webstrip " " as a minor supporting character . Her relationship to another " Star Wars " character , Tannon Praji , was established in the article " Tinker , Tailor , Soldier , Praji " .
