During the time of the Cold War , on Alderaan , Sidonie fell into a terrible illness under the Sith Lord Vivicar , which caused her to go insane . And the timing couldn ' t be worse , as Alderaan was hosting a secret peace summit between all the noble houses , as Sidonie attempted to provoke continued war . The Jedi Council sent the Jedi Consular , the future Barsen ' thor , to find her , and was able to cure her , freeing the Jedi Master from her insanity . Biography . During the Great Galactic War , Sidonie went on a mission to Malachor III along with Eriz Vossan , Yuon Par , Cin Tykan , Duras Fain , and Parkanas Tark . However , during their mission on the planet , Garen and the Jedi uncovered some terrible evil and were nearly affected by the spirit of Terrak Morrhage , a long - dead Sith Lord of the Old Sith Empire . Developing a plan to escape from the dark planet , the Jedi when Vossan fell behind until Parkanas saved him , but became trapped in the process and was left behind by the other Jedi . Garen felt responsible for the loss of Tark . In 3643 BBY , Master Garen was stationed on Alderaan , a former planet that was part of the Republic until it fell into a civil war after Queen Silara Panteer and Prince Gaul Panteer were killed , and a corrupt noble named Bouris Ulgo , a descendent of Trask Ulgo , usurped the throne . She had been working hard to organize a peace treaty between the noble houses of Alderaan , in an attempt to stop the war . However , before she could continue her assignment , she fell to Lord Vivicar ' s plague and raised the Jedi Council ' s suspicions by dropping out of contact for some time . As the peace summit was due to occur , Alderaan was visited by Yuon ' s Padawan , a gift Jedi Consular , who was seeking all the Jedi Masters afflicted by the plague . When called via holo , Sidonie was quick to dismiss the Consular as a mere Padawan and refused to give her location . Somehow learning or anticipating that the Consular would seek out House Teral , the only house lacking a delegate for the summit , and that Teral would endorse the Consular by cementing an alliance between their house and House Organa , Sidonie hired House Rist to kidnap Lew Organa before he could meet with the Terals . However , Lord Teral informed the Consular , who went to rescue Lew . Afterwards , they discovered Sidonie ' s holofrequency on the Rist base ' s computers and get the Jedi Master on the holo . Discovered , Sidonie quickly excused herself . As the summit began in the Sendoth Ruins , Sidonie ordered the guards to bar anyone else from entering . During the summit , the plague - affected Jedi Master had already proceeded to bring war on Alderaan due to her madness . Clouded by the plague which made her aggressive , she believed that the only future for Alderaan was war , so she brought incriminating evidence on each of the Houses to the summit , reminding them of old grudges , and spurring escalation of the conflict . When the Consular managed to calm the delegates down , the enraged Garen engaged the Jedi , unleashing her Force powers . The Consular bested her in combat and was able to use the shielding technique to save the insane Master . Regaining her senses , Sidonie noted that the Consular seemed weak from shielding her . Apologizing for her actions , Sidonie left handling the summit to the Consular and reported back to the Jedi Council .
