Memit Nadill Memit Nadill was a male Jedi Master who served as the most trusted adviser of Empress Teta , the monarch of the planet Koros Major , during a series of conflicts known as the Unification Wars , that brought together the seven planets of the Koros system . In 5000 BBY , after believing the visions of fellow Jedi Odan - Urr to be precognitive , Memit Nadill traveled to Coruscant to warn the Jedi Order about an impending invasion by the Sith Empire . However , Nadill was too late , and the Sith invasion force rained down upon the capital just as Nadill arrived , marking the start of the Great Hyperspace War . Nadill helped to repel the Sith Empire during the invasion of Coruscant , leading a small team of Jedi including Tuknatan , Anavus Svag and Sonam - Ha ' ar during the battle . Nadill was a regal , green - skinned humanoid , with many tendrils sprouting from the back of his head . He was known to be a peaceful Jedi , and after the Unification Wars he hoped never to need his lightsaber again . However , he was skillful with his weapon when the situation required it of him ; wielding a blue lightsaber , Nadill often led Teta ' s forces in battle . Biography . The Unification Wars . Memit Nadill was a Force - sensitive male who lived during the Manderon Period . Nadill served as a member of the Jedi Order , becoming a revered Jedi Master . and by the year 5000 BBY , he had been appointed as an adviser to Empress Teta of the Koros system . Nadill was provided with access to a secret chamber within the Tetan royal palace on the planet Koros Major , in which he stored many of his belongings . Nadill aided the empress in her attempts to unite the system through the use of force . Teta ' s campaign was initially successful , though they were meeting heavy resistance on the planet Kirrek . They sent for help from the Jedi Order , with Master Ooroo eventually sending his apprentice to meet with Nadill . In 5 , 000 BBY , near the close of the Unification Wars — a conflict waged by Empress Teta to unite the seven worlds of the Koros system under her rule , Nadill met the Draethos Jedi Knight Odan - Urr in Cinnagar , the capital city of Koros Major . Odan - Urr had been sent by his master , a Celegian named Ooroo , to the Koros system in order to try and bring peace to the planet of Kirrek , which had been ravaged by the recent battles between Teta ' s forces and local rebels . It was the first such assignment for Odan - Urr , who preferred to think of himself as more of a scholar than a warrior ; he said he preferred to read history , rather than make it . Nadill took over Odan - Urr ' s training ; he was far more experienced , and it was hoped he could teach Odan - Urr some necessary skills . Empress Teta had managed to unite six of the seven planets in the Koros system , but the pirates on Kirrek had managed to drive back any attempts to engage them , and had begun firing on any ship that flew within distance of their weapons — they had killed over fifty hostages after the last attempt to defeat them . Teta deduced that the only way to defeat the pirates was a full military assault , and she reluctantly ordered her men to carry one out , despite her fears that a great many lives would be lost fighting the rebels . Odan - Urr was brought before Empress Teta , and he advised her and Nadill of an ancient Force ability known as battle meditation , which , if utilized , would ensure victory for Teta while also lowering the death count . Nadill gave the order to travel to Kirrek and use the Force power , and asked Odan - Urr to teach it to him . As they traveled to the war - torn planet , the young Draethos taught Memit the ancient power , which affected the morale of both friendly and enemy soldiers , though that was not the only benefit ; users of the power could envision an outcome of their desire , literally making their adversaries act to suit the user ' s needs . Nadill quickly mastered battle meditation , and alongside Odan - Urr helped defeat the pirates on Kirrek , using his newly learned skill to break the spirit of the enemy while boosting his allies ' morale . They prevented the battle from becoming a bloodbath , although as Odan - Urr feared , many of the broken - spirited enemies became desperate and attempted to take down as many hostiles with them as possible . However , the rebels were eventually forced to surrender , with Teta ' s men taking them into captivity . Although a huge number of lives were saved by the two Jedi , the victory was not without its losses . Odan - Urr was particularly disturbed by what he perceived as needless deaths , and also by the destruction of a supply ship which had plummeted to Kirrek ' s surface . Upon returning to Koros Major , the two Jedi were hailed as heroes along with Empress Teta as they traveled through the crowded streets on a hoversled . Nadill told the Empress that now that all the planets had been united , Koros would become one of the richest systems in the galaxy once their carbonite mines regained full production . Odan - Urr ' s vision . Later , on Koros Major , Nadill and Odan - Urr rescued two Human siblings , named Jori and Gav Daragon , who had been cornered by two assassins sent by the Cha ' a merchant Ssk Kahorr , to whom the two youths owed money . Just as the assassins looked ready to strike , the two Jedi seemingly emerged from nowhere , igniting their lightsabers and telling the attackers to halt . The two alien mercenaries refused , and attacked the Jedi Knights with their primitive weapons . Odan - Urr , not used to such situations , lashed out at an assassin with his ancient lightsaber , killing him ; Nadill , however , chose to seek a more peaceful resolution , and disarmed the remaining mercenary , who then fled . Nadill later warned his companion of the cost of such aggressiveness , and advised him that the situation could have been solved without the use of a lightsaber . Odan - Urr was deeply shamed after the encounter ; his people were hunters , and he possessed an instinct which he needed to learn to control . That night , Odan - Urr had a nightmarish vision of the Sith Lord Marka Ragnos ' funeral on Sith homeworld Korriban , and the eventual war it would bring . In his vision , Odan - Urr saw two aspiring Sith Lords of the Sith Empire , formed by Dark Jedi Exiles millennia earlier , dueling over the Ragnos ' s throne ; one of them , Ludo Kressh , was content to keep the Empire hidden from the rest of the galaxy , while the other , Naga Sadow , wanted to expand the borders of the Sith Empire and lay siege to the Galactic Republic , something which had not been done since before the Empire ' s formation . Midway through the duel , the spirit of the long - dead Marka Ragnos appeared , telling the two that their Empire was under threat , and that they had to choose their course wisely . Odan - Urr felt that , although they had not been encountered in over a thousand years , the banished Dark Jedi still posed a great threat to the Jedi Order and the Republic . The young Jedi Knight then sought out Memit Nadill to see if he had interpreted the dream correctly . Nadill met with his friend in Teta ' s chambers ; after Odan - Urr recounted the dream and told him what he thought it meant , Nadill told Teta that he trusted his companion ' s judgment , and asked his master to bring it up with the Senate , the governing body of the Republic on her next visit to the Republic ' s capital world , Coruscant . Teta agreed to go before the Senate during her next journey there in three days ' time , and pledged the support of the Koros system to the defense of the Republic . Nadill and Odan - Urr , who had never been to Coruscant previously , accompanied Teta to the capital in one of her ships . Odan - Urr was amazed with the high population of the city - planet , and Nadill commented that the Force was strong there , though so was the politics . The Jedi arrived at the Senate Hall alongside Teta , noticing several Jedi watching the proceedings from afar , and sat on either side of her as she addressed the Senate . Teta told them the story of Odan - Urr ' s dream , and the chaos it would bring to the Republic . However , the senators were highly skeptical , astounded that such a respected leader would suggest taking to arms after a young Jedi apprentice had a dream of a mythical enemy which hadn ' t been seen in over a thousand years . The two Jedi left shortly thereafter , dejected , though they still had the support of Empress Teta , who vowed to pledge her military forces against any Sith attack . Soon after their return from Coruscant , Nadill summoned Odan - Urr to Empress Teta ' s chambers , where Urr ' s master Ooroo was awaiting his arrival . Ooroo had contacted Teta to hear how Odan - Urr was doing as her newest advisor , and when she told him of the visions Urr had had he departed for Koros immediately , eager to see his student face - to - face . Ooroo had heard of Nadill and Urr ' s attempts to warn the Senate , and told them that their mission was not a complete failure : they had successfully persuaded the three Jedi Knights present of the threat posed by the Sith . The Celegian warned Nadill and the others that should the Sith attack , a full - scale war would devastate the Republic and cross the fabric of hyperspace . Teta then led them out onto a great balcony overlooking the vast army she had assembled during her struggles to bring peace to her home system , vowing never to let her system fall to any invasion from outsiders . Nadill was with Odan - Urr in Teta ' s chambers when Jori Daragon , one of the two siblings whom Nadill had previously rescued , burst through the doors . She had been imprisoned on Koros for various crimes , but had managed to escape and to break into Teta ' s palace . The Empress had her guards take the young woman away , despite her pleas to be listened to . At the mention of the Sith Empire , Nadill and Odan - Urr had Teta call off her guards , and asked the girl to retell her story . She told them that the Sith Empire was still thriving , and that she and her brother had seen it . They had punched in random hyperspace coordinates in an attempt to find a lucrative new hyperspace route , and found themselves on a barren planet populated by Sith . The Daragons had been taken in by Naga Sadow after a huge battle between Sadow ' s forces and those of his rival , Ludo Kressh , had begun . Sadow persuaded Jori to leave before she was injured in the battle , secretly placing a tracking device on her ship . She told the Jedi that Sadow and his army could arrive at any time , and that the Republic was in danger . Nadill and the others believed her , to the amazement of the guards , and the green - skinned Jedi planned to once again travel to Coruscant to rally the support of the Jedi Knights , sure that this was the evidence that would convince them of the danger they were all in . Battle of Coruscant . Nadill arrived at Coruscant on his shuttle , and met with Sonam - Ha ' ar , Tuknatan and Anavus Svag , the three Jedi that were present in the Senate Hall when Nadill had visited with Teta and Odan - Urr previously . Nadill had previously known them all , and they promised that they would find more loyal Jedi Knights and protect the Republic that the Order served . However , the Coruscanti invasion alarms suddenly sounded ; Nadill had arrived too late . The fleet of Naga Sadow , Dark Lord of the Sith , laid siege to Coruscant , sending pods full of Sith warriors down onto the capital ' s streets . The citizens took refuge in the massive Senate Hall , leaving the four Jedi Knights and a handful of Republic soldiers to fight the great Sith army . The Sith army , flanked by dozens of huge , monstrous creatures , charged at the Senate Hall , and on the steps of the ancient building , Nadill , Sonam - Ha ' ar , Tuknatan and Anavus Svag used their primitive Jedi weapons to fight against Sadow ' s vast army of Sith warriors , vowing that the Republic would not fall after thousands of years of peace . As Nadill fought against the seemingly endless Sith invasion force , and with more Sith pods and bombs raining down on the once - brilliant city , something unexpected happened : many of the Sith soldiers seemed to simply vanish into thin air . Nadill immediately realized that many of their Sith enemies were simply illusions conjured by Sadow ' s magic , aboard his Sith Meditation Sphere . Sadow ' s concentration had been broken when he was fired upon by Gav Daragon , who had been briefly trained in the ways of the Sith by the Dark Lord after his sister ' s departure from Korriban . Daragon had realized the pain and suffering Sadow was causing to the Republic , after Aarrba the Hutt , his mentor and guardian , had been mercilessly killed by Sadow ' s warriors . In response to this sudden revelation , the Jedi launched a counterattack against their confused foes , and were able to eventually turn the tide of the battle . With a new - found confidence , the four Jedi , as well as the few Republic soldiers left alive , charged at the remaining Sith warriors , driving them back from the Senate Hall and defeating their giant beasts . Nadill fought using the Force , eliminating the Sith threat from Coruscant ; in a clash with a Sith commander , the Sith ' s sword was no match for Nadill ' s lightsaber and he was defeated by the Jedi . Much of the Sith invasion force had been destroyed by the Jedi and Republic soldiers , and those that survived were forced into retreat , with the Coruscanti army allowing them to return to the Sith Empire on Korriban . After the Sith fled , Memit Nadill , Tuknatan , Anavus Svag and Sonam - Ha ' ar put their weapons together and once again swore that the Republic would never fall . Victory . Meanwhile , the Sith had also been defeated on Kirrek by Odan - Urr and Ooroo , though their victory came at the cost of the Celegian Master ' s life . Ooroo had released the poisonous cyanogen gas in his tank , giving his own life to kill a group of elite Massassi warriors . The Massassi had overrun Teta ' s forces , which were being aided by the former pirates that Nadill and Odan - Urr had previously helped to defeat . On Coruscant , Memit Nadill and his fellow Jedi were involved in a crowded victory celebration outside the Senate Hall , while others assessed and began to repair the damage that had been caused by Sadow ' s attack . During the celebrations , Memit Nadill disconnected his lightsaber from its power pack , hoping for no further conflict . Nadill returned to Koros Major on his personal shuttle , and met with the Empress on her balcony , happy to see that Teta and Odan - Urr had fared as well as he had . While Odan - Urr searched the abandoned Sith ship in orbit , eventually finding a Sith holocron , the Empress expressed her sadness at the damage the war had caused , but Nadill optimistically reassured her that everything could be repaired . During the Cold War , an archaeological crew uncovered a mosaic in the Tetan royal palace that indicated the location of Nadill ' s personal chamber . After realizing the significance of the mosaic , the crew re - discovered the chamber , which still contained some of Nadill ' s personal effects . Personality and traits . Memit Nadill was a member of a bipedal humanoid species , with light green skin and several small head - tails protruding from the back of his head . He had a long face , and there was a large , bony curl at the end of his chin . Several small horns studded the Jedi ' s head . Although his face and head were hairless , Memit Nadill ' s powerful arms were lined by thin green fur . He did not wear traditional Jedi robes , preferring to wear a dark green cape over a small shirt that covered his chest , though he also wore orange ceremonial robes when acting as Teta ' s advisor . Nadill was a wise Jedi Master : he did not act rashly or worry about what might happen , as he knew that if the Force was in all things , he would be safe . During Odan - Urr ' s stay on Koros Major in 5 , 000 BBY , Nadill taught him a great deal of knowledge , and Odan - Urr eventually went on to found the Great Jedi Library on the planet Ossus and become a revered Jedi Master . Memit was an extremely trusting individual , and he put his full faith in others , especially those touched by the Force , when no one else would . His trusting nature was demonstrated when Odan - Urr arrived on Cinnagar and told Nadill of battle meditation . The Jedi advisor trusted Odan - Urr , someone he had only just met , and agreed to make use of the Force power without even being informed of exactly what it did . Nadill put his full confidence in Odan - Urr once again after the young Jedi had visions of the Sith ; Nadill trusted that the interpretations of the dreams by his fellow Jedi were true , and persuaded Teta to take them before the Senate . Even after the senators dismissed Odan - Urr ' s visions as nothing worth worrying about , Memit persuaded Teta to make sure that the Koros system was prepared for the attack . Memit Nadill was an experienced Jedi , who served as Teta ' s advisor during the Unification Wars of the Koros system , which was later renamed Empress Teta in honor of the queen who had brought peace to the system . Teta described the alien Jedi as her most trusted advisor , and she had great respect for his judgment and decisions . On several occasions , such as the events surrounding Odan - Urr ' s vision , Teta acted on Nadill ' s advice , even though she did not understand the Force , which always affected how Memit acted . Nadill was also very kind , and often wore a smile on his face . His kindness was demonstrated after Jori Daragon told him and Empress Teta of the Sith Empire and its impending invasion of the Republic . The young human had suffered much hardship beforehand , and Nadill was the only being who recognized all she had gone through to warn them . Powers and abilities . Nadill disliked violence and battle of any kind , though he felt that a Jedi must always be prepared to do battle . He was skilled in combat with a lightsaber , which was shown during the Unification Wars and the Great Hyperspace War , though he preferred to use non - lethal attacks against his enemies , saying that one must look for gentler ways to solve problems . He often led soldiers in battle , and was not afraid to sacrifice his own life for those of others . After the Great Hyperspace War , Memit Nadill powered down his lightsaber , hoping that he would never have to ignite it in war again . Nadill was also skilled at using the ancient Jedi art of battle mediation , a skill that he had been trained to utilize by fellow Jedi Knight Odan - Urr . To perform battle meditation , a Jedi had to remain highly concentrated on the outcome of the battle they desired , and could not be interrupted . Battle meditation could heighten the morale of the Jedi ' s forces while draining the enemy ' s morale , as well as affect the actions of hostiles and the outcome of the battle . Behind the scenes .
