Tenuuri Tenuuri was a small countryside village located on the planet Haariden . During the time of the Separatist Crisis , the settlement was comprised of small clustered buildings built close to the ground . Fields surrounded the village , and beyond , trees stretched to the hills . In 26 BBY , a group of Galactic Senate - sponsored scientists happened upon Tenuuri in their flight from militant tribal factions engaged in the planet ' s prolonged civil war over mineral rights , specifically the lucrative though difficult - to - mine titanite . The scientists , in fact , had made their expedition to Haariden , ironically , to globally map the very mineral that was in dispute . Their mission was part of the Senate ' s efforts to equitably divide the planet ' s mineral wealth among its warring tribes , in order to secure a lasting peace . The five expedition scientists — including Fort Turan ( mission leader ) , Tic Verdun ( scout ) , Joveh D ' a Alin , Talie Heathe , and Reug Yucon — found Tenuuri deserted , all of its homes and businesses evacuated , as the town had suffered both siege and battle . But it suited their purposes , for they had been caught in a war that was not their own . They therefore hunkered down in a battle - scarred but adequately sheltered café , to await a Coruscant rescue team that was being sent by the Jedi High Council , at the Senate ' s request and in response to the scientists ' urgent distress call . The Tenurri holdout was soon discovered by a four - member Jedi team consisting of Masters Obi - Wan Kenobi and Soara Antana with their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Darra Thel - Tanis . Having been through other settlements in their search for the expedition group , they weren ' t sure the scientists would be there , but in accessing datapad information on the village , it appeared to be a good candidate . But as the Jedi approached the village , its surrounding trees appeared strange to them . They suddenly realized why : the Tenuuri trees still had leaves on them — for since they ' d landed on Haariden , all of the trees they ' d seen had been bare , their branches blasted away by battles . What they had come to expect since embarking from their transport , however , was seen here as well : the once - beautiful fields were now burned . Entering the empty village proper " , " the Jedi observed that none of Tenuuri ' s houses or businesses were intact . The wood had burned and the rocks lay in piles , some as tall as themselves . Direct blaster - and missile - fire hits had reduced the buildings to rubble . The Jedi searched through the half - destroyed structures , " kicking through the debris of ordinary lives , " until they came upon a café in which they at last sensed the Living Force . They found that the scientists had sequestered themselves in a very large oven that sat in the middle of the room , the size of a small landspeeder . After grateful introductions , the scientists permitted the Jedi to lead them forth from Tenuuri through the planet ' s perilous terrain — through which they endured violent attack from war - mongering troops — until they finally reached the safety of their transport ( roughly eight kilometers from the village ) . Having provided matchless protection for the scientists , saving their lives both from relentless militants in close - quarters combat and from sure starvation , the Jedi spirited away the beleaguered expedition team back to Coruscant .
