Naddist army The Naddist army was the name given to the military force that Queen Amanoa commanded against the Beast - Lord s Modon and Oron Kira and his Beast Riders , during Onderon ' s Beast War conflict of 4000 BBY . The army consisted of lightsaber - wielding Dark Jedi , dark side adepts , battalions of darksider s , and Naddist troops , as well as regular Onderonian soldiers that comprised the bulk of the infantry . The army appeared to be predominantly Human males , though several of the Dark Jedi commanders were female . By 3998 BBY the army had been further augmented by the addition of Sith war droids . The Naddist army was also disbanded later that year , since all of its members and factions were eliminated during the Freedon Nadd Uprising . History . Beast Wars . In 4000 BBY , the Naddist army , captained by Amanoa ' s apprentice Novar , went to war against the Beast Riders of Onderon . During the battle , Amanoa employed ancient Sith techniques to bolster the strength of her army ' s military tactics against the Beast Riders . However , intervention on the part of Jedi Knights , led by Jedi Master Arca Jeth , quickly turned the tide of battle and delivered victory into the hands of the Beast Riders . Through use of ancient " Jedi " techniques , Jeth was able to revive the Beast Riders ' morale while diminishing the will to fight of the darksiders . Freedon Nadd Uprising . Two years later , a new dark side army surfaced , under the direct command of Amanoa ' s husband , the sorcerer King Ommin . This new army went to war against the Jedi , again led by Arca Jeth , and the full might of the Republic Navy . King Ommin made heavy use of his Sith war droids in the ensuing battle , and his military commander , a Dark Jedi named Warb Null , led the ground troops from the front lines . Arca Jeth and his team of Knights defeated Ommin ' s army again , using the same Jedi battle meditation technique that was employed in the last war . With the death of King Ommin , his Dark Side Army was also wiped out , and peace restored on Onderon . Organization of forces . There was a solid chain of command implemented in the Naddist army . The supreme commander was by right the monarch of Iziz , and through said King or Queen , orders were disseminated through the ranks . During the reign of Amanoa , direct military command was given to the Royal advisor Novar , who managed the theater of war while overseeing the progress of the Naddist troops in battle . Occasionally , Novar would join the fray , and engage the enemy alongside his subordinates . Infantry . The Naddist army consisted of many different ranks and factions . During the reign of Queen Amanoa , the ranks were comprised mainly of dark side adepts , individuals who worshiped the memory of the Dark Lord Freedon Nadd . Officers led from the front lines , with commanders stationed along the walls of Iziz , as well as in the thick of things on ground . Snipers were also secreted throughout the city , in places that made it difficult for enemy forces to advance through the streets . Amanoa ' s bodyguards . Though the Queen ' s Royal advisor Novar commanded most of the forces directly , a special cadre of dark side adepts was specifically commissioned to serve and protect the Queen . These Royal Protector s were clad in all white armor , and wore flowing cloaks ; neither of which seemed to restrict their movement . Their heads and faces were fully enclosed in their helmets , and a visor allowed the Protectors to view their surroundings . They carried bladed , staff - type weapons , and wielded them with considerable efficiency in combat , in conjunction with the ranged energy weapons they used when engaging in firefights with the enemy . Wave gunners . Naddist wave gunners were soldiers who specialized in the operation of Iziz ' s outside wall defenses . From these defense towers , the wave gunners unleashed both ion cannon and turbolaser fire against incoming air " and " ground attacks . They too wore full - body white armor , and helmets with visors to shield their eyes from the blinding discharge of the cannons and lasers . Though their trappings afforded them basic protection in combat , a few well - placed blaster bolts could penetrate the plates , and kill the individual inside .
