Talia ( Onderon ) Talia was a female Human who served as the Queen of the planet Onderon during the years prior to and following the Jedi Civil War . Biography . Talia was a direct descendant of the Dark Lord Freedon Nadd . However , the death of her grandparents broke the sway of the dark side over their descendants , as evidenced by her being one of the Republic ' s and the Jedi ' s staunchest allies in the Post - Jedi Civil War era . Before the Mandalorian Wars , Talia made an alliance with the Republic , eventually gaining Republic citizenship for Onderon . This would later cause much suffering and conflict for her people . Conflict . When the Mandalorians invaded the Republic , Onderon was one of the first Republic worlds to fall to them . Talia ' s position during this time is unclear , but her cousin , General Vaklu , led the resistance to the Mandalorians . Near the end of the war , Revan and his forces liberated Onderon , though credit for this went mainly to Vaklu in the eyes of the Onderonian people . When Revan led his corrupt forces in the Jedi Civil War , he left Onderon almost untouched . But the Republic still needed soldiers and supplies from Onderon during this time . Vaklu ' s Manipulations . After the Jedi Civil War , the dark days of the Dark Wars began . During the next five years , the Republic began the Telosian Restoration Project , a project to see if the Republic could heal the worlds that had been ravaged in both wars . Because Onderon was one of the few worlds in the Republic that was still intact , materials and wildlife were constantly exported to Telos IV . Talia , as a staunch supporter of the Republic , agreed to supply the Republic with the materials it needed . Vaklu , however , saw a chance to rise to ultimate power on Onderon by taking Talia out of the picture . He began to preach about how the Republic had brought war to Onderon , how it had taken so much and now was not able to give anything back . This won him many followers and soon , Vaklu was able to openly challenge Talia ' s ideas in the government . Soon , he had the military blockade the planet on the grounds that he was searching for " Republic treachery " , when in reality he was trying to prevent Republic aid from reaching Talia . Talia ' s main counsel during this time was the Jedi Warrior Master Kavar , who also served as one of her strategists . Meetra Surik . Soon , Meetra Surik , known as the Jedi Exile came to Onderon searching for Kavar . Vaklu , who had been warned about her by his secret allies , ordered Colonel Tobin to destroy the Exile ' s ship . Surik escaped with her ship damaged to the moon of Dxun . There , she met the remnant of the Mandalorians rebuilding on the moon . After allying with them , she managed to land on Onderon . When Surik was able to meet with Kavar , Tobin attempted to kill both of them , but both managed to escape . Soon after , Vaklu met with the council of lords and stated that Talia was guilty of treason . He launched a full - scale assault on Talia ' s royal palace . While the majority of the military remained loyal to Talia , Vaklu had Nihilus ' soldiers for reinforcements . Furthermore , the Sith used the dark side to control a number of Onderon ' s beasts to fight for them . It seemed that Talia was doomed . But Surik returned to Onderon using a Basilisk war droid . By the time Surik had reached the throne room , Vaklu ' s forces had breached it and Vaklu was personally dueling Talia . Talia proved to be the more skillful duelist , and Vaklu desperately ordered his men to shoot her . Surik intervened , however , and defeated Vaklu . TCaptured and at Talia ' s mercy , Vaklu declared that Talia ' s reign would not be easy , as her attachment to the Republic would destroy Onderon . He then taunted her by saying he would be free within a week by his supporters . But to Vaklu ' s horror , Talia intended to execute Vaklu on the spot . It was then that Surik pointed out that if Vaklu was executed , it would make him a martyr to his supporters ; the captive General was nonetheless sentenced to death and executed by firing squad . The queen then began the process of winning back the support of her people . Future . Based on Darth Traya ' s prediction , Talia had a long and successful reign , bringing prosperity to her beloved people and leaving behind their antagonism with the Republic for helping them win the war . Consequentially , much of Onderon ' s identity would be replaced culturally by that of the Republic ' s , as many Core Worlds did before it . Behind the scenes . She was voiced by Seeta Indrani . The fact that Oron Kira and Galia are her parents is in question , though it is the most logical explanation seeing as there isn ' t much proof that they were her grandparents and the fact of the timeline , since Galia and Oron were probably married in 4002 BBY or sometime shortly thereafter , it is just possible that Galia gave birth to her sometime later in life . One fact disputing this is the existence of Vaklu , as thus far , Galia is not known to have any siblings . Talia ' s accent sounds like a southeast - Asian accent , like those in or near India . Failure to Convince . If you fail to convince Talia , she will ultimately kill Vaklu for his treason . The player can also claim the decision is Talia ' s to make . She will then have Vaklu killed . This option does not shift the Exile to the dark side and gains influence with Kreia and even Mandalore if he is with Surik , despite the latter ' s respect for Vaklu . Alternate dark side choice . Meetra Surik ' s intervention swung the balance of the battle into General Vaklu ' s favor , as Vaklu ' s troops stormed the palace , and invaded the Queen ' s throne room . Jedi Master Kavar tried to stop the invasion , but Surik , aided by the dark side ' s rage , defeated him in a grueling battle . Queen Talia was subsequently killed , either by Vaklu ' s forces , or in a duel against Surik ( depending on Surik ' s choice ) . Ironically , even though Vaklu , the secessionist , came out victorious , he turned on his Sith allies , choosing to send his troops to Telos , when the Sith invasion commenced .
