The Jedi Knight Kerra Holt ' s quest to find her long - lost family leads her to the Odionate , the domain of the Sith Lord Odion . Despite her success in infiltrate Odion ' s Novitiate corps , she is captured by Odion on the barren planet Skarpos . Having recovered an ancient Sith artifact known as the Helm of Ieldis , Odion and his captive Kerra rejoin General Beld Yulan and his forces , who have set up base on the top of the Morbollon Mesa . Despite acquiring Ieldis ' vaunted artifact , Odion was unable to activate it which led Kerra to taunt him . During their subsequent conversation , Odion revealed that he had been fully aware of Kerra ' s presence since she had entered the Odionate . However , he left her alone because he believed that Kerra and her family were predestined to lead him to the Helm . Odion revealed that he had acquired information about her parents ' research on the Helm during a raid on the University of Sanbra . The invasion of Aquilaris Minor in 1042 BBY was merely a cover to capture her parents and the other researchers involved in the Ieldis study for Project Pandemonium . By then , Yulan and his team of soldiers had finished their excavation of the temple chamber . They had recovered some camping remains and two human skeletons ; one of which had a locket containing an image of Kerra ' s parents . Realizing that her parents had died , Kerra descended into a state of grief which immediately activated the dark side powers of the Helm . Odion immediately unleashed the Helm ' s powers on two of the rival Sith Lord Malakite ' s Mutate soldiers and their dragon steeds , who had stumbled on Odion ' s entourage . Odion used the Helm ' s powers to drive them into a homicidal frenzy . Satisfied with this test demonstration , Odion unleashed the Helm on the three massed armies beneath the mesa . As a result , Malakite and Daiman ' s forces quickly collapsed as all the combatants began killing each other . In the ensuing massacre , Daiman and Malakite barely escaped with their lives . Meanwhile , Odion ' s entourage evacuated Skarpos on an Odionate planetary gunship . Despite Odion ' s victory , the Helm also wiped out his entire garrison on Skarpos , leading General Yulan to raise concerns about the high losses . Odion dismissed Yulan ' s concerns , arguing that their deaths were inevitable and that the Helm saved them a lot of work . Kerra was subsequently taken to a detention cell while Odion set the warship " Gravedigger " for an unknown course . Despite his initial hostility towards Kerra , Beld Yulan had come to grudgingly respect Kerra for risking her life to find her parents . During the meeting Kerra also revealed that she was also looking for her lost younger brother or sister , whom she believed was incarcerated in one of the Odionate cloister s . Yulan then explained the main reason for his visit ; a holorecorder had been recovered from the wrecked mesa chamber . Odion had viewed it privately and had ordered Yulan to bring it to Kerra in person . It turned that the holorecording was a message from Kerra ' s late parents to Vannar Treece or any other Jedi involved in the University of Sanbra on the Ieldis study . Four years after the Massacre of Aquilaris , her parents had finally recovered the Helm of Ieldis on Skarpos . The Holts had intended to bring the Helm to the Jedi and the Galactic Republic for safekeeping but were unable to since the planet was besieged by warring Sith factions . By that stage , the Holts had run out of food and there was a permanent Sith presence outside the Morbollon Mesa . To prevent the Sith from finding the Helm , the couple made the fateful decision to blow themselves and the chamber up , in a last ditched attempt to deny the Sith access to the Helm . Following the end of the transmission , Yulan expressed his inability to understand why Kerra ' s parents had willingly sacrificed their lives for everyone else . Kerra disagreed but without showing any malice , argued that her parents ' sacrifice had made perfect sense . For her , their sacrifice signified that if death could have a meaning , then life must have a meaning as well . Shortly after their meeting , the " Gravedigger " landed on Vanahame . Kerra asked if Odion had wanted more anguish to feed on , adding that Yulan could tell Odion it did not work . Yulan replied that Odion may have just wanted her to understand the Helm ' s potential . Upon realizing they had landed on Vanahame , Kerra reached the conclusion that he come to the Cloister to harness the misery and sadness of the thousands of inmates within the planet - sized orphanage . By using the Helm to tap into these negative emotions , Odion ' s powers would be unlimited .
