Second Mission to New Apsolon In 41 BBY , a mission was undertaken to the planet of New Apsolon by Jedi Master Qui - Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi - Wan Kenobi to find the undercover Jedi Master Tahl , who had received a distress call from twin sisters Alani and Eritha who wished safe passage to Coruscant . Prelude . Jedi Master Tahl received a message from Alani and Eritha , the twin daughters of the assassinated leader Ewane of New Apsolon . The girls feared that their father ' s friend - Roan - murdered their father and they wished safe passage to Coruscant . Informing the Jedi High Council that she had received the request for an investigation , Tahl reported the twins ' fears regarding their father ' s successor , Roan , as Qui - Gon Jinn burst into the High Council Chamber . Mace Windu allowed Jinn to stay as he was on the original mission some years before . Once her briefing was complete , Tahl stated she would return in a few days with the twins in tow , though Jinn protested he should go along . Once arriving on the planet , Tahl learned that the Absolutes movement - a feared organization of terrorists - was still at large and so she infiltrated it to find what was going on on the unstable planet . Tahl was soon betrayed by the twins , Alani and Eritha , and severely wounded when taken into custody . Three weeks after her departure , Jinn approached the Council with Obi - Wan Kenobi and stated that he feared for Tahl ' s safety and that he was going to New Apsolon to find her . Windu said that Jedi did not need to conform to a schedule and that the Council was not concerned about Tahl ' s mission , but Jinn protested and said he was going regardless of what the Council said . Windu then sternly said that if he left , he was doing it against the wishes of the Council . Arriving on the planet as soon as they could , Jinn and Kenobi located Tahl and freed her , helping her flee the Absolutes . Shortly afterwards , the governor , Roan , was found dead after he went to find the kidnapped twins who had been taken by the Absolutes . In light of this , the Jedi engineered a secret meeting between the Absolutes , the Civilized and the Workers movements . But it was a ruse engineered by Chief of Security Balog who once more kidnapped Tahl and took her away . Finding Tahl . Jinn and Kenobi allied with Eritha and trekked across the terrain to find Tahl and Balog . The two learned from Eritha that Alani was the leader of the Absolutes , and that she wanted power over the planet . Nevertheless , the two Jedi and Eritha continued on reaching a roick worker colony led by Yanci . After spending the night , the Jedi and Eritha left but returned when the colony was attacked by the Absolutes . All residents , save for Yanci , were killed . The three soon found a base which served as a front for the Absolutes . Eritha feigned capture allowing the Jedi to enter unnoticed . They recovered Tahl , who had been incredibly weakened in a crude device . After freeing her , the base self - destructed . The two Jedi and Eritha fled the facility with Tahl , taking her to doctors who reported that Tahl would not recover - though Jinn was confident that she would still live . While in a medcenter , Tahl died from her wounds , causing Jinn great grief , pain , and rage . Jinn vowed to find Balog and kill him . Seeking vengeance . Shortly afterwards , Kenobi contacted the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and informed them of Tahl ' s death . This prompted Jedi Master Mace Windu and Tahl ' s apprentice Bant Eerin to journey to the planet where they would begin an investigation . After seeing Tahl ' s body lying in state , the team began analyzing the facts surrounding Tahl ' s death . But Jinn abruptly left on his own pursuit of Balog – Tahl ' s killer – for vengeance . Windu and both apprentices learned of this and followed clues as to Jinn ' s whereabouts . Eventually , Jinn returned and the team learned the truth about Alani and Eritha and their involvement with the Absolutes movement . The Jedi soon found Balog in his hideout , and was swiftly disarmed by Jinn . But Tahl ' s sudden words shook Jinn and he regained calmness and had Balog arrested along with the twins . They then left New Apsolon to restore its fragile government while they took Tahl ' s body to the Jedi Temple for a traditional funeral . Aftermath . With the sisters and Balog arrested and sentenced to imprisonment , Manex was made the governor of New Apsolon . With the fragile government mending itself to democracy and equality , the Jedi returned to Coruscant with the body of Tahl to give her a traditional Jedi funeral .
