Biography . Akial was born during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . He became a member of the Jedi Order and attended the Almas Academy , a Jedi academy that was located on the planet Almas , in the Cularin system . While there , he trained to become a Jedi Consular , a Jedi specialization that focused on studying the mysteries of the Force . During the time of the Clone Wars , Akial undertook the Jedi Trials , which he passed and he became a Jedi Knight . A short time after his graduation , Akial was picked to be an official representative of the Academy at a celebration that was being held on Dorumaa , the moon of Almas . The celebration had been organized by the Metatheran Cartel , a trade organization that was jointly run by members of the Caarite and Filordus species . They had organized the event to thank a group of freelance agents for preventing the release of a dangerous virus on the Caarite homeworld . The Kel Dor Jedi Guardian Krin D ' bis was chosen to accompany Akial . Due their different specializations within the order , they could represent different approaches to being a Jedi and show that the order was not single - minded . They traveled to Greentree Pointe resort on Dorumaa , where the celebration was being held and they set up a booth there , to try and recruit potential students for the Academy . While at the celebration , Akial and D ' bis debated the threat posed by the Believers , a Sith cult that operated in the Cularin system . They both agreed that the Believers were a major problem for the system , but disagreed over how to deal with the cult . D ' bis suggested that the Believers should be hunted down , but Akial thought that it would be better to investigate the capabilities of the cult , as little was known about what their goals were . They also discussed the Metatheran Cartel , which had committed many past transgressions in the Cularin system , such as destroying the sacred ch ' hala tree grove . Akial believed that the Cartel should be forgiven if it re - established its diplomatic position in the system and demonstrated itself to be trustworthy . Personality and traits . Akial was a Jawa , a diminutive sentient species that was native to the planet Tatooine , in the Outer Rim Territories . He disliked it when people acknowledged his heritage by saying " Utinni , " a common word in the Jawa language , to him , as he could speak Basic without an accent . Behind the scenes . Akial was created by Morrie Mullins and made his only appearance in " Paarty On ! " , a scenario in the " Living Force " campaign . The campaign was a supplement to the " Star Wars Roleplaying Game " , and " Paarty On ! " was an interactive scenario , which was intended for use at roleplaying events . The scenario outlined how event staff would play the roles of the various non - player characters , such as Akial , and interact with players of the campaign . It encouraged the people playing Akial and D ' bis to involve the players in their debate about the Believers and the Cartel , and to also discuss the nature of the Force with them .
