Having arrived on the desolate world of Ambria , Nomi orders A - 3DO to stay behind with their ship , the " Lightside Explorer " . Bringing Vima along , Nomi sets out to follow her feelings in the hopes that they would lead her to that whom she sought — Jedi Master Thon . Eventually making her way through the harsh deserts of Ambria , Nomi and Vima encounter a lone being riding atop a fierce - looking beast . Knowing that this being is a Jedi , Nomi follows him back to his modest dwelling , a small farm in the middle of the desert . Meanwhile , at the order of Bogga , who still wants the elusive Adegan crystals , several gangsters manage to track Nomi to Ambria , where they find A - 3DO inside the " Lightside Explorer " . Believing that the crystals they sought are inside the ship , the thugs shoot A - 3DO while in the process of looking for the hidden treasure , unaware that Nomi has taken the crystals with her . Following their quarry ' s trail to the dwelling where Nomi and Vima are , Bogga ' s men are confronted by Nomi ' s host . However , the Jedi is overwhelmed by the sheer number of thugs . Despite the apparent advantage held by the gangsters , the beast which Nomi had seen the Jedi riding intervenes in the struggle . Advantaged by the element of surprise , the beast is able to trample several of the pirates , thus forcing the remainder of the gang into retreat . Safe for the time being , it is soon revealed that the being whom she had met was actually a Jedi Knight by the name of Oss Wilum , and that it is the fierce - looking beast who actually Master Thon . Under the guidance of Thon , Nomi begins her training as a Jedi Knight , alongside Oss Wilum . While the Jedi training continues on Ambria , a ship of Bogga the Hutt ' s is hijacked by the pirate Finhead Stonebone , who is intent on capturing the valuable ore which was contained aboard the ship . However , Bogga himself , aboard his flagship " Enforcer One " , is able to thwart Stonebone ' s plans and captures both him and his pirate gang . Believing that Bogga was going to execute him for his crimes , Stonebone was surprised when Bogga decides that the pirate and his gang would pay for their crimes by traveling to Ambria , where Stonebone was to kill Master Thon and anyone with him , and retrieve the Adegan crystals which had previously eluded Bogga ' s best efforts . Stonebone , as the leader of both his pirate crew and several thugs of Bogga , leads an attack on Thon ' s homestead , and manages to capture Thon due to Nomi ' s reluctance to engage in violence following her husband ' s murder . However , upon realizing that Thon is not going to fight back , in order to show her the path of the Jedi , Nomi decides to use her Force abilities to attack Stonebone and the rest of his gang . Through the combined efforts of Nomi and the freed Thon , the pirates are soon driven from Ambria , never to return again .
