The Human male Kurt was a Beast Rider from the wilderness of the planet Onderon , and by the year 4000 BBY , he achieved the rank of flight leader in the Beast Rider army . As a flight leader , Kurt commanded several squads , or " wings , " of drexl - riding warriors . He himself was the subordinate of Commander Gobee . In the year 4 , 000 BBY , the centuries - long conflict that plagued Kurt ' s homeworld between his beast - riding people and the citizens of Iziz , Onderon ' s only city , was finally drawing to a close . The Beast Riders had risen up against the dark side - worshiping city - dwellers , who were led by the sorceress - Queen Amanoa , whose own power stemmed from the memory of the deceased Dark Lord of the Sith Freedon Nadd . Refusing to be enslaved by the power of the Sith , Kurt and his fellow Beast Riders united under the banner of Beast - Lord Modon Kira . The result was the largest host of warriors ever assembled against Iziz , gathered together with the intention of freeing the city from the oppression of the dark side . Early in the battle , Kurt ' s forces successfully eliminated the defensive towers that lined Iziz ' s northern wall , allowing the ground troops , mounted on wild boma - beasts , to enter the city unhindered . Kurt then led his riders in an attack against the eastern wall , as he had done successfully against the north side . However , Commander Gobee , who had dismounted his flying beast to lead the ground forces into the city , was pinned down with his troops at the feet of the Iziz Royal Palace by heavy enemy fire . With no other options , Gobee commed Kurt and ordered his squad to discontinue their assault on the east wall , and bombard the palace roof with counterfire . Kurt immediately obliged , and succeeded in eliminating the rooftop turbolasers . This allowed the Beast Riders to finally converge upon the citadel from all sides as Kurt continued to lend supporting fire to his planetside counterparts . After intense fighting , the battle and war were subsequently won by the Beast Riders , who managed to defeat the city - dwellers with assistance from several Jedi Knights . In the wake of the fighting , those same Knights remained on Onderon , and further assisted in facilitating a peaceful coexistence between the city - dwellers and Kurt ' s Beast Rider kin .
