Biography . The Zabrak male Duqua Dar was a Jedi Knight during the time of the Galactic Republic ' s war against the Mandalorian Neo - Crusaders , beginning 3976 BBY . During the early part of the Mandalorian Wars , Dar joined the Revanchist s — a group of Jedi led by then - Jedi Knight Revan — who went against the orders of the Jedi Council and took an active role in the conflict . Leading the Republic forces in the war , Revan discovered ancient Sith teachings and came to embrace them . As a member of the Revanchists , Dar served alongside fellow Zabrak Jedi Acaadi , before Acaadi ' s dedication to Revan eventually turned him to the dark side as well . Dar resisted the call of the dark side , however , and remained on the Zabrak homeworld of Iridonia , though he believed that his destiny lay elsewhere . At the start of the Jedi Civil War , which began when Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Revan and his apprentice Darth Malak led an invasion of the Republic in 3959 BBY , Dar was fighting the remaining Mandalorians still present on Iridonia . Under orders from the Republic Military , Dar intercepted a group of Mandalorian mercenaries who had attacked a Republic communications center on the planet . The Mandalorians almost proved too much for Dar , but he was saved by the timely intervention of Acaadi , now a Sith agent , who used the encounter to persuade Dar to join him and possibly turn him to the dark side . Dar was convinced that the Jedi Order had been holding him back , preventing him from using his natural aggressive feelings . Unaware that it had been Acaadi who had ordered the Mandalorians to attack the communications center in preparation for a planned Sith attack on Iridonia , Dar decided to join Acaadi . The conversation between the two Zabrak was overheard via comlink by a group of Jedi and spacers under orders from the Republic , who had earlier defeated another group of Mandalorians that had ambushed them . Unaware that Dar had agreed to join Acaadi , they decided to go to Dar ' s aid . Dar and Acaadi traveled to Acaadi ' s private hangar in the town of Wortan , with the Republic agents in pursuit . Reaching Wortan , the Republic agents searched the town for the two Zabrak and , with the help of two Force - users , Draethos Darok - Tho and Miraluka Jirany Sha , managed to locate Acaadi ' s hangar . Acaadi detected the group as they approached and planned to have the Republic agents meet with Dar in the hangar . Just as the agents arrived , Acaadi left the planet in his personal shuttle , heading to sabotage the flagship of the Republic fleet , the " Hammerhead " - class cruiser " Champion of Iridonia " , which was situated in orbit . Dar met with the Republic agents as Acaadi planned , who attempted to convince him to reject the dark side . During their conversation , Dar attempted to justify joining the Sith by pointing out holes in the Jedi teachings . After Dar talked with the Republic agents , a group of Sith commandos attacked the agents at Acaadi ' s command . The agents defeated the commandos , however , and proceeded to travel to the " Champion of Iridonia " in an attempt to save the Republic fleet from Acaadi . Personality and traits .

Duqua Dar made his first appearance in " Iridonian Darkness " , a Wizards of the Coast online adventure for the " Star Wars Roleplaying Game " , which was made available as a free download from Wizards . com in October 2008 . As a roleplaying adventure , the fate of Dar is determined by the actions of those involved in the game , making it possible for him to either fall to the dark side or join them as a Jedi once again . If Dar decides to remain a Jedi , he will aid the Republic agents in the fight with the Sith commandos and encourage them to capture a nearby ship . If , however , Dar falls to the dark side , he will defend himself against the agents and retreat to the ship himself . Providing that Dar survives the encounter , he would likely be in no shape to help either the Republic agents or the Sith , but he will aid his chosen allies if possible .
