Mission to Gala The Mission to Gala was an assignment dealt by the Jedi High Council on behalf of a request from the Monarch of Gala . Background . The beautiful and wealthy world once ruled by the Tallah Dynasty , Galla was fairly close to Phindar , a mining world controlled by the Syndicat . The Galacian s native to the planet were divided into three adversarial tribes : the city people , the sea people , and the hill people . After the death of King Cana , Queen Veda realized that the monarchy was growing weaker , and that the people wanted a democratic election . She relented , and planned to hold an election in 44 BBY . Because of the change in government , and the potential risk of saboteurs , Queen Veda requested mediation from the Jedi High Council . The Council swiftly dispatched two Jedi who were in the system at the time . Mission . When Qui - Gon Jinn and Obi - Wan Kenobi arrived , they quickly met with the Queen and began to look for saboteurs . There were three candidates . Deca Brun received widespread support , due his promises of reform and prosperity . Prince Beju , son of Queen Veda , also ran for governor . He believed that he had a right to rule , as the rightful heir to the throne , and opposed the election . The final candidate was Wila Prammi , a former underminister . Shortly before the election , Kenobi discovered that Deca Brun received large campaign contributions from Offworld Mining Corporation . In return , Offworld was to receive extensive mining rights , which would have caused extensive environmental damage . Meanwhile , Beju learned that he was not the true heir to the Galacian throne ; Elan , the leader of the hill people , was actually his older half - sister . Unknown to the Jedi , Prince Beju had sided with the Syndicat , who offered to help Beju take over Gala in exchange for power . Beju planned on thwarting his planet ' s elections by cutting off the bacta supply and reinstate it when the people started suffering , which would make the Prince look like a hero and make the other two candidates for the elections look inferior . However , his plan backfired when Obi - Wan Kenobi and Qui - Gon Jinn exposed the plot . Kenobi disguised himself as the Prince due to their apparent similar looks – both being adolescent boys of similar height . Obi - Wan acted like the arrogant Prince to help the ploy , and was able to get information that confirmed Beju ' s betrayal . Beju was then tested by the Mark of the Crown , which would determine if he was the rightful heir . The results turned out negative , as Beju knew , showing that Elan was in fact the true heir . Beju withdrew from the election , and supported Prammi instead . He also informed the electorate about Deca Brun ' s unscrupulous deal . Lonnag Giba , Head of the Council of Ministers was also attempting to take the thrown . The converted Beju helped to thwart the plot , and the Jedi arrested Giba . Aftermath . After Giba ' s arrest , Beju honorably dropped out of the election , supporting Prammi instead . Thus , Wila Prammi won by an overwhelming margin , becoming the first governor of Gala . The Jedi were thanked , and left on a new and dangerous mission : the Mission to Melida / Daan , a mission that would test Obi - Wan Kenobi ' s commitment to the Jedi Order .
