Mission to Kegan Background . Kegan ' s surface consisted of mainly rugged countryside , as well as plateaus . It was used mostly for food and animal cultivation . There was only one city on Kegan , which was divided into circles for each area of work . The Circles were large domed structures connected to each other by unpaved roads and located in a ring around the Gathering Circle , where meetings were held . Kegan did not have a currency , but relied on a barter system . From 74 BBY to 44 BBY , Kegan isolated itself in accordance with the visions of V - Tan and O - Vieve , who foresaw the coming of the Galactic Empire . In their zeal to protect their homeworld from the Empire , these Benevolent Guide s created a new government system made to protect the people from this threat . However , measures intended for good taken by the government caused just as much suffering as it was intended to avoid . New systems were put in place on Kegan such as universal surveillance which caused the government to become repressive . All the citizens of Kegan had a vote in government issues , however V - Tan and O - Vieve decided what they should vote on , creating only the illusion of democracy . Under the rule of the Benevolent Guides , all Keganite children were forced to add a " V - " ( for males ) or " O - " ( for females ) before their names . Also , the Keganite children were sent away to be raised in schools . Here they were taught and instructed to the point of brainwashing to be extremely xenophobic , through lessons that misrepresented the galaxy as much more dangerous and malignant than it actually was . O - Lana was born in 45 BBY to V - Nen and O - Melie on the oppressive and isolated world of Kegan . Her parents realized very early that their child was special , and despite Kegan ' s taboo against contacting the Republic , they requested that the Jedi Council test their child . Understanding the fragile diplomatic situation on Kegan , the Council dispatched four Jedi : Masters Adi Gallia and Qui - Gon Jinn and their respective Padawans , Siri Tachi and Obi - Wan Kenobi . However , the Benevolent Guide s that ruled the planet saw a grave future should the Jedi take the child . They had visions of white - armored soldiers raining destruction down upon their planet , and they decided to avert this crisis before it could become a reality . They spirited O - Lana away to the Relearning Circle , a prison - like compound to which certain youths were banished and fed anti - Republic propaganda . Luckily , the two Jedi Padawans Tachi and Kenobi found their way into the Relearning Circle . They saved O - Lana with the help of Jinn and Gallia and in the process shut down the Circle and overthrew the Guides . The foursome then took O - Lana away from her parents to be trained as a Jedi Knight . Mission . The rule of the Guides was ended in 43 BBY by Qui - Gon Jinn , Obi - Wan Kenobi , Adi Gallia , and Siri Tachi . They exposed the cruelty brought about by the Guides ' rules of isolation , including the suffering caused by diseases which the galactic community had learned the cure for during Kegan ' s self - imposed quarantine . When Siri , V - Davi , and Obi - Wan escaped the Re - Learning Circle , the anti - isolationist movement used it to cause a public uproar that disposed of Benevolent Guides and to send a envoy to the Republic .
