Zoojoo Zoojoo was a female Woostoid who was affiliated with the Grumani Hierophant s during the Republic Dark Age . Zoojoo helped to guard a hidden Grumani temple on the planet Sarrassia and at some point prior to 1032 BBY , she and the Grumani met with the Humans Aron Holt and Mercia Holt , who informed her that the Sith Lord Odion sought to locate the Helm of Ieldis , an ancient Sith artifact that was concealed inside the temple . With help from the Holts , the Grumani rediscovered the Helm and shipped it to the planet Skarpos for safekeeping . In 1032 BBY , Zoojoo encountered the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt — the daughter of Aron and Mercia — outside the Grumani temple . Shortly afterward , Zoojoo blew up the temple in an attempt to prevent Odion ' s Novitiate s from learning of the Helm ' s location , and she perished in the explosion . Biography . The Helm of Ieldis . The Woostoid Zoojoo was a member of the Grumani Hierophant s , a religion based on the planet Sarrassia , which was home to various warring religious factions . Zoojoo and her fellow religious adherents resided at the Great Temple beneath Mount Diligence . She was an acquaintance of Mercia Holt , an archaeologist who was doing research on the Helm of Ieldis , an ancient Sith relic created by the Sith Lord Ieldis prior to the Great Hyperspace War . Through her connections with Mercia , Zoojooo also became acquainted with Mercia ' s husband Aron and their daughter Kerra , who would become a Jedi Knight . When Kerra was seven years old , Zoojoo was present when the young girl climbed onto the roof of the Great Hall . While Kerra escaped unharmed , her actions caused the temple ' s elderly abbot to suffer a stroke and incurred the wrath of their parents . During the conquest of Aquilaris Minor by the Chagras Hegemony in 1042 BBY , Mercia and her husband were captured by the Sith Lord Odion . From Mercia , Odion learnt about the existence of the Helm of Ieldis and dragooned them into Project Pandemonium , a task force assigned to recover the relic for Odion ' s own purposes . About three years later , the Holts returned to Sarrassia and were reunited with Zoojoo and their Grumani friends . Despite being in Odion ' s service , Mercia and Aron had not succumbed to the same sickness affecting him . They were also aware about the dangerous power of the Helm and were secretly conspiring to hide the talisman from him . With the assistance of Zoojoo and the other Hierophants , Mercia was able to translate the ancient markings in the temple and find the location of the Helm of Ieldis . The Helm was hidden within the Great Temple under Mount Diligence . Following this discovery , the Holts took the Helm to Skarpos to hide it from Odion . Meanwhile , the Grumani agreed to guard the Great Temple at all costs . Invasion . Following this meeting , Zoojoo lost all contact with the Holts . Within days after their visit , Sarrassia was occupied by Ayanos Bactra , a Sith Lord who ruled a realm known as the Bactranate . Unlike the other Sith Lords however , Bactra ' s rule was comparatively more moderate and he did not interfere greatly within the lives of his subjects . He succeeded in ending the endless factional fighting between the Grumani Hierophants and the Spumani Crusader s , a rival religious sect . In 1032 BBY , the planet Sarrassia was conquered by Lord Odion ' s forces . The various Sith Lords of the Grumani sector were locked in an internecine struggle known as the Second Charge Matrica and Bactra ' s princedom had been invaded and carved up between Odion and his younger brother , Daiman . An Odionate military fleet led by General Beld Yulan launched a preemptive strike on Sarrassia ; overpowering the planet ' s defenders . Odionate forces gradually overcame the resistance and rounded up the planet ' s population as slave labor . Meanwhile , Kerra Holt had infiltrated Odion ' s Novitiate s under the disguise of a Force - sensitive young woman named " Mercy . " Mercy and her Sith comrades took part in a mopping up operation led by the Twi ' lek acolyte Doyan against Hierophants at Mount Diligence . Zoojoo and her Hierophants were making a last - ditched resistance against the Sith invaders under the pretext of it being ' holy ground . ' During the fighting , several Sith troopers and Novitiate acolytes were killed by friendly fire unleashed by Yulan ' s artillery . Having discovered a cave entrance , Yulan ordered the Novitiates including " Mercy " to explore the cave and find the Helm , continuing on from Project Pandemonium ' s last known whereabouts . Mercy separated herself from her team and discovered a steel door which she opened using her mother ' s pendant . Reunion and death . Mercy found herself in an underground complex consisting of a lake and the Great Temple . She was immediately ambushed by Zoojoo who initially mistook her for a Sith . Zoojoo attacked Mercy with a stick and was about to bash her with a stone when she quickly recognized it was Kerra Holt . While Kerra wore Sith attire , Zoojoo could still sense the light side of the Force burning brightly through her . She recalled that she could remember that Kerra was the same little girl who climbed the roof of the Great Hall years ago . Zoojoo and Kerra rowed across the lake and entered the Temple . Zoojoo then shared with Kerra about the last known whereabouts of her parents . She confirmed that they had revisited Sarrassia seven years ago prior to the Bactranate occupation and that they had hidden the relic on Skarpos , a barren world within the Sith Lord Malakite ' s realm known as the Menagerie . However , Zoojoo was unable to confirm their whereabouts following the trip and was unaware that Mercia had been pregnant with a second child prior to her capture . Zoojoo comforted a grieving Kera who had been separated from her parents following the conquest of Aquilaris Minor . Kerra also informed Zoojoo about Odion ' s invasion of Skarpos and told her that she need to get there to prevent him from getting the Helm . Zoojoo tried to dissuade Kerra from returning to Skarpos by arguing that her actions would only attract Odion ' s attention . Kerra argued that his forces were already besieging the planet . Zoojoo still advised caution , sensing that Kerra was also trying to find her parents . She tried to persuade Kerra to ignore her desires , just like her parents sacrificed what they wanted to keep the Helm from Odion . Their conversation was interrupted by an explosion triggered by Yulan ' s explosives . His troops had exploded an opening in the tunnel and stumbled upon the Temple . Zoojoo panicked , fearing that her efforts to keep the Sith from finding the Helm was only in vain . Despite Kerra ' s offer to protect Zoojoo and to get her out of harm ' s way , a desperate Zoojoo activated a bomb which buried the temple and much of the lake underwater ; killing herself in the process but denying the Sith further access to the Temple . Yulan and his men barely escape with their lives . Kerra survived by diving underwater beneath the boat . Following their escape , Kerra revealed to Yulan about the location of the Helm of Ieldis . She confirmed that Zoojoo had perished during the cave - in and then ordered Yulan to quickly take them to Skarpos . Kerra was left to lament the death of an important childhood friend and her futile efforts to save her . However , she was satisfied that she now knew the last known whereabouts of her parents and the Helm . Kerra was thus more determined to deny Odion access to the Helm . Personality and traits . Zoojoo had a kind , maternal instinct which made it easy for most other sentient beings to relate to her . During her childhood , the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt developed a warm relationship with her . This relationship would play an important role during Kerra ' s quest on Sarrassia to find her family and the Helm of Ieldis . However , she was also prone to panicking as show when Yulan and his minions managed to breach the underground Temple on Sarrassia . Despite Kerra ' s attempts to soothe her by promising to protect her , Zoojoo became suicidal . In an attempt to deny the Sith with access the Helm , Zoojoo would trigger a remote - controlled bomb on her wrist band which cost rocks and rubble to crush her and the surrounding temple . While Zoojoo ' s skin was smooth when she was young , the Woostoid woman had developed significant wrinkles across her body by 1032 BBY , reflecting her aging process . Power and abilities . While Zoojoo was a Grumani priestess , she was also capable of defending herself when she ambushed and was about to bash a Sith intruder during the Invasion of Sarrassia in 1 , 032 BBY . However , Zoojoo quickly recognized that the individual was actually her friend Kerra Holt and the two women quickly reconciled . This brief incident also showed that Zoojoo had the ability to recognize a person based on the intensity of light side energy emanating from their body . While Kerra was dressed in Sith attire , Zoojoo was still able to recognize her as a friend due to the intense light side energy emanating from her Force presence . Behind the scenes .
