Khoonda Khoonda was the autonomous government of the planet Dantooine from 3956 BBY to at least 3951 BBY . History . When Darth Malak destroyed the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine in 3956 BBY , the settler community of this relatively recently colonized planet found itself deprived of any support . The Galactic Republic was on the verge of collapse during that period and could not offer anything to some backwater planet in the Outer Rim Territories , having lost any interest in it without the Jedi . Forgotten by everyone , the settlers had to establish a government able to regulate themselves . The leading official of this new government , Administrator Terena Adare , who was the Agricultural Administrator during the Jedi period , chose the former estate of the Matale family as her residence ; the estate was rebuilt from damage inflicted by the Sith bombardment and renamed Khoonda . While being a symbol of a new beginning for the settlers , Khoonda was not a very effective government . Khoonda had to deal with monetary problems . Dantooine was not entirely self - sufficient ; agricultural exports covered only basic maintenance , and the settlers needed more credits to expand and rebuild . Because of this , Adare and her people had to tolerate salvagers and use whatever income they brought from plundering the ruined Enclave . Another problem was the lack of military power and law enforcement . The militia of Khoonda consisted mostly of farmers and merchants , and only a few militiamen , among them their commander Zherron , had some military training and experience . They had difficulties protecting the settlers from wild kinraths and kath hounds , and were certainly no match for Exchange mercenaries , who were active on Dantooine after the Jedi Civil War . Most mercenaries were former soldiers and veterans of the Jedi Civil War - their leader Azkul , for instance , was a Sith trooper during the war . While the mercenaries did not engage in open warfare at that time , it was no doubt that their goal on Dantooine was not peaceful collaboration with the natives . The settlers tended to blame Adare and Zherron for their passivity , but realized that without them the mercenaries would already control the planet . However , with the appearance of Meetra Surik in 3951 BBY , the settlers ' life became somewhat easier . Surik did everything she could to help Khoonda and redeem for the extremely bad reputation the Jedi had on Dantooine . While it was Surik who , rushing to free Master Vrook Lamar from the mercenaries , provoked a bloody assault on Khoonda that became known as the Battle of Khoonda , the settlers were ignorant of this fact . Surik was remembered as a savior who turned the tides to the settlers ' side and fought for Khoonda , ensuring its victory and removing the mercenary threat once and for all . Khoonda itself was in a state of disrepair before the battle . The problems plaguing Khoonda included malfunctioning turrets , broken droids , injured soldiers , security breaches and a lack of recruits willing to fight for the militia . Surik managed to fix these problems before the assault . No longer needing to face a hostile military power , the people of Dantooine could at least return to day - to - day affairs . By that time , the salvagers had taken everything of value from the Jedi Enclave , and only the dangerous sublevel , overrun by laigreks , remained relatively untouched . As the settlers ' attitude towards the Jedi turned from hatred to admiration , they decided to honor them for all the help they once offered . When Surik arrived on Dantooine once again to meet the three Jedi Masters — Vrook , Kavar and Zez - Kai Ell — she found , instead of ruins , an intact Enclave rebuilt almost to its former glory . Afterward . It is unknown what happened to Khoonda itself , as a government , after 3 , 951 BBY . It is known , however , from Darth Traya ' s predictions that the Republic once again established its presence on Dantooine , and with its support the planet entered a new age of prosperity . In this scenario , Khoonda may either have been made obsolete , or integrated in the Republic ' s government structure , which possibly included the new Jedi in the Enclave . Behind the scenes . In the alternate dark side scenario the player , as Meetra Surik , can side with the mercenaries against Khoonda . After the battle , Azkul stands in the Administrator ' s office instead of Adare . However , Darth Traya predicts that Dantooine will eventually lie in ruins , becoming home to nomads and primitive tribes not aware of the history they tread upon . Although Adum Larp , a Rodian merchant , had set up shop very close to the Jedi Enclave , he managed to survive the attack by Darth Malak and was seen afterward at the Khoonda building .
