" Sentinel " occurs immediately after the events of the short story " " which takes place in 3960 BBY . This short story is told from the point of view of two protagonists : the undercover Jedi Shadow Jelph Marrian and the former Sith Saber Orielle Kitai . Earlier , Ori had lost her privileged status in the Tribe ' s society after her mother was accused of being involved in the attempted assassination of Grand Lord Lillia Venn . Attempting to regain her family ' s lost status , Ori had sought to reveal the existence of a hyperspace - capable starship at Jelph ' s farm to the Tribe ' s leadership . The story begins with Jelph traveling to the Tribe ' s capital of Tahv . While resting at the bar of a Keshiri bartender , he reflects on how his childhood experiences during the Great Sith War motivated him to join the Jedi Covenant , a secret group of Jedi Knights who were committed to preventing a return of the Sith . As a Jedi Shadow , Jelph had spent years combing the Outer Rim Territories for potential Sith threats . During the Mandalorian Wars , Jelph had become stranded on Kesh . Meanwhile , Ori arrived at Tahv ' s zoo where her mother had been forced to shovel manure for the past two weeks . Ori told her mother about the hidden starship she had discovered in Jelph ' s farm . While Candrai was skeptical that this would improve their status , she told her daughter to contact four High Lord s from the Red and Gold Faction s through the well - connected architect Gadin Badolfa . Ori followed her mother ' s advice and then fled to the city ' s aqueduct system , which had been her favorite haunt during her days as a Sith Saber . Before she left , Ori also stole the lightsaber belonging to the zoo ' s guard . Jelph entered Tahv and headed into the city ' s aqueduct system , knowing that they were Ori ' s favorite haunt . These aqueducts towered over most of the city ' s buildings and transported water across the city . There , he encountered Ori who attacked him with her Force powers , throwing him twice into the canal . After disarming Ori , Jelph admitted that he was a Jedi Knight and that he was the owner of the starship . Ori also revealed that she had revealed his " secret " to her mother . Jelph attempted to reason with Ori by arguing she could abandon her desire for power . When Ori related the Tribe ' s ambitions for galactic dominance , Jelph claimed that there were no more Sith in the wider galaxy . Despite their differences , Jelph admitted he had romantic feelings for Ori in an attempt to calm her down . Ori then revealed she had informed the other Grand Lords about an " important discovery " and had instructed them to meet her at Jelph ' s farm the following day at sunset . In the end , Ori and Jelph agreed to return to Jelph ' s farm and they stole an uvak from an aerial rider patrolling the city . During their flight , the pair agreed that Ori would claim she had discovered four functioning blasters , a technology that was not available to the Tribe . The pair rode the uvak back to Jelph ' s farm but were pursued by the Tribe ' s uvaks . Fortunately , they managed to reach the farm before their Sith pursuers could arrived . Jelph slipped out of sight while Ori headed towards the barn intending to meet the four High Lords . However , these visitors turned out to be the Grand Lord Venn herself and four of her most loyal body guards including Flen and Sawj Luzo , Ori ' s rivals . Unknown to Ori , Candrai had secretly informed the Grand Lord in exchange for improved working conditions . Grand Lord Venn then entered the stable where she discovered the starfighter . She was triumphant because she believed that she had discovered interstellar travel , something which had eluded the Tribe for millennia . Unknown to Venn and her entourage , Jelph had already rigged the starfighter with explosives ; he had already hidden two proton torpedoes among thousands of kilograms of ammonia - nitrate based explosives . Prior to reassembling the starship in his stable , Jelph had installed this anti - theft system as a fail - safe in the event that his presence on Kesh was discovered . Jelph managed to distract Venn and her entourage by using the Force to levitate the four blasters towards him . He then opened fire on her bodyguards , allowing Ori to escape her captors . Meanwhile , Venn entered the starfighter ' s cockpit only to trigger the explosives which killed all of the Sith present and destroyed all traces of the entire farm . Ori and Jelph managed to escape by submerging underwater in the river . The events of that night would be remembered in Keshiri history as the " Night of the Upside - Down Meteor " and ushered in a power struggle which lasted almost a millennium . Little trace of Venn , her entourage , and Jelph ' s farm survived since the explosion had caused the surrounding riverbank to collapse into the Marisota River . After eight weeks of traveling deep into the jungle , Ori and Jelph established a remote homestead in the forest . Jelph also destroyed the last remaining evidence of his offworld origins : a transmitter . The Jedi had destroyed the machine after intercepting transmissions which revealed that the Jedi had collapsed into factions and were engaged in a civil war . Finally Jelph and Ori established a romantic relationship and eventually started a family in their new jungle home .
