Jedi Master Arca Jeth was given charge of the worlds in the Onderon system, and he sent his apprentices, the brothers Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma, along with Tott Doneeta to bring a peaceful settlement to the centuries-old civil war tearing Onderon apart.

The Jedi arrived on Onderon aboard their starship, the Nebulon Ranger. The Ranger narrowly escaped attacks by the outlying Beast Rider warriors before landing in the walled city of Iziz. There, they made contact with Onderon's ruler, Queen Amanoa and her daughter, Princess Galia. The two royals spoke for the long-sequestered King Ommin, said to be convalescing in his advanced age.

Ulic was barely on Onderon for a few hours before he had to prove his warrior skills. A team of elite Beast Warrior Commandoes stormed the Royal Palace, absconding with Galia. To redeem the Jedi image in Queen Amanoa's eyes, Ulic led his fellow Jedi in a mission into the wilds, into Beast Rider territory, to rescue Galia.

The Nebulon Ranger tore into the skies over the Onderon forests, only to be shot down by a well-placed Beast Rider seeker-torpedo. Tott Doneeta's talents in speaking with the giant boma beasts gave the Jedi transports to the Beast Rider's fortress. They stormed the citadel, only to discover Beast Rider Oron Kira in the process of marrying Galia. The Jedi were surprised to discover Galia in love with Kira, and that it was the outlying warriors who wished for peace, and the city-dwellers who perpetuated the war.

The Jedi continued to learn more of Iziz's dark secrets. They learned it was under the pall of the Dark Side. Four hundred years earlier, a Sith student named Freedon Nadd brought the power of the Dark Side to Onderon, and his descendents included King Ommin and Queen Amanoa, whose forms were riddled with the Dark Side.

The Jedi joined forces with the Beast Warriors to infiltrate Iziz and demand Amanoa step down. She refused, and a huge battle erupted. In the battle, Ulic's brother was maimed but survived. The battle was turned by the timely arrival of Arca Jeth, who used Jedi Battle Meditation to turn the tide of the conflict, boosting the Beast Warriors' morale and letting them defeat the better-armed forces of Iziz.

Jeth used his power of the Light to smother Queen Amanoa's darkness. The Dark Side momentarily defeated, Arca declared Ulic's first mission a failure. Though Ulic contended he and his fellow Jedi did all they could to avoid bloodshed, Jeth chastised his student for his failure to detect the Dark Side on Iziz. He later conceded that perhaps the challenge of Onderon was too great for his students.

With Amanoa dead, Galia ascended to the throne, sharing her power with her husband Oron Kira. This helped unite the rift that perpetuated the civil war on Onderon, but there were those loyalists to the old order that refused to let the new government rule unchallenged. These loyalists -- Naddists -- sparked a violent uprising within the days that followed Amanoa's funeral. Ulic Qel-Droma, Cay and Tott Doneeta were in the heart of this conflict, joined by the Jedi Oss Willum, Dace Diath, Shoaneb Culu, Qrrrl Toq, Kith Kark and Nomi Sunrider.
