In 33 BBY , the Jedi Order dispatched a Jedi mission consisting of three Consular - class space cruisers to the Yinchorri system in an attempt to end the Yinchorri Uprising . Upon arriving in the Yinchorri system , the Jedi cruisers were pursued and attacked by Yinchorri starfighters but managed to evade their pursuers and land in their designated destinations . Their mission was to find and disable the Yinchorri command center . Jedi Master Adi Gallia ' s team lands on the watery moon of Yitheeth where they captured the Devaronian mercenary Olmar Grahrk , who was part of a Sith conspiracy to pit the Yinchorri species against the Galactic Republic and their Jedi defenders . Meanwhile , Master Micah Giiett ' s team lands on Yibikkoror only to be trapped by their Yinchorri pursuers . In the exposition , Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Qui - Gon Jinn ' s team land on the Yinchorri homeworld of Yinchorr , a desert world . During the mission , Jinn and his Padawan Obi - Wan Kenobi went on a recon probe of the surrounding area and find that the Yinchorri are mustering their forces . They also confirm the earlier Jedi mission ' s report that the Yinchorri species are immune to mind control but fail to find any sign of the Yinchorri command center . Instead , they find that Yinchorr is being used as a staging ground for an invasion . The pair narrowly evade a Yinchorri patrol and report back to Masters Windu and Saesee Tiin . Meanwhile , a Yinchorri patrol stumbles upon their " Consular " - class space cruiser and detonate the vehicle . However , they fail to find the Jedi occupants . Meanwhile on Yibikkoror , Master Giett ' s team fight off their Yinchorri pursuers , killing many of the enemy with their lightsabers . Master Gallia ' s " Consular " space cruiser arrived above the Yibikkoror balloon city but was unable to land due to a lack of space on the floating platform , which was already swarmed with throngs of hostile Yinchorri . Thus , the four Jedi stole a balloon in their attempt to reach the cruiser . Having reached its docking rig , they were greeted by the Zabrak Jedi Master Eeth Koth who managed to get the Padawan K ' Kruhk , Masters Lilit Twoseas and Plo Koon inside . However , before Micah could get it , he came under attack from more Yinchorri donning flutter - packs . Micah then grabbed the balloon and made another jump while the cruiser moved downwards to allow him to descend down the docking rig . The two reunited Jedi teams then departed to Yinchorr to assist Jedi Masters Windu , Jinn , Tiin , and Padawan Kenobi . Back at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant , Masters Yoda and Yaddle received word from the Jedi teams that they had survived and would rendezvous on Yinchorr . However , the Jedi teams had been unable to find the Yinchorri command center . Yoda and Yaddle both sensed that something " shrouded and obscured " was influencing the Yinchorri Uprising from behind the scenes . The Human Jedi Master Soon Bayts then entered the room to inform his compatriots that Master Gallia ' s team had taken a Devaronian prisoner named Olmar Grahrk , the cousin of the smuggler Vilmarh Grahrk . That Jedi also speculated that the Devaronians had been engineering the Yinchorri unrest . Meanwhile , the Galactic Republic ' s Senate was still deadlocked over planning its response to the Yinchorri problem . At an unknown location of Coruscant , the Sith Lord Darth Sidious learnt about the capture of Olmar and informed his cousin Vilmarh . Sidious threatened the Devaronian with death if the captive Olmar revealed their secret plans to the Jedi . A desperate Vilmarh promised Sidious and his apprentice Darth Maul that he would make sure that his cousin would not disclose anything about the Sith ' s plans . Gallia ' s Jedi cruiser traveled to Yinchorr to reinforce Master Windu ' s team . However , the Jedi were unable to interrogate the captive Olmar since they were already nearing Yinchorr and the Yinchorri had just discovered Windu ' s hiding place . The " Consular " - class space cruiser arrived on Yinchorr in the middle of a battle between Windu ' s Jedi team and an army of Yinchorri . Since the Jedi were greatly outnumbered , Master Eeth Koth suggested a rescue mission to extract Windu ' s team . Gallia , Theen Fida and Tsui Choi would stay with the ship while the remaining Jedi would join the battle . Master Koth ' s Jedi succeeded in opening a second front and diverting the bulk of the Yinchorri force away from Windu ' s team who were holed up on a hill . Windu ' s team were then able to descend down the hill and rejoin Koth ' s team . During the fighting , Saesee Tiin immobilized a Yinchorri tank by killing its driver . While Koth ' s and Windu ' s teams were reunited , the Yinchorri force turned its attention to the " Consular " cruiser . During the melee , K ' kruhk ' s master Lilit was killed by a Yinchorri . In retaliation , her enraged Padawan beheaded her attackers with his lightsaber . Back on Coruscant , the Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum concludeds a crisis meeting with several Republic senators who agree to support a blockade and an embargo against the Yinchorri in return for keeping promises that he had made to them over the past five years . Following the meeting , Valorum contacted Master Yoda and expressed his weariness at having to make several concessions in order to gain the necessary votes to support military intervention in the Yinchorri system . Master Yoda sympathized with the Chancellor but commented that his sacrifice was necessary since it was small in comparison to the lives that the Order sacrificed during the mission . Koth and Windu ' s teams managed to return to the cruiser only to discover a bloodbath . While Gallia ' s team had managed to fight off their Yinchorri attackers , two Jedi had also been slain : Tsui ' s Padawan Fida and Master Twoseas . Windu ordered the Jedi to evacuate the bodies of their slain compatriots aboard the ship . He then ordered Tiin to prepare the cruiser for immediate takeoff and to send a transmission to Master Yoda . Upon arriving inside the ship , the Jedi found that Olmar had broken free of his bonds and had headed to the command bridge where he was contacting his cousin Vilmarh . He tried to get his older cousin to help him out and reported that one of the Jedi had been killed . However , Vilmarh was furious that his cousin had contacted him from the Jedi ship since the Jedi would be able to trace his signal and apprehend him . Master Choic apprehended the Devaronian . Meanwhile , Windu and the other Jedi recovered Lilit ' s body after fighting off several Yinchorri with the Force . The Yinchorri retreated but then regrouped to launch a second assault on the cruiser . Giett and Koon offered to stay behind and cover their retreat and were joined by Jin and his Padawan Obi - Wan . Windu agreed but reminded that their action was a tactical retreat rather than a last stand . He ordered the Jedi to join him as soon as they could since they did not want any further casualties .
