Second Battle of Onderon

The Second Battle of Onderon occurred during the Freedon Nadd Uprising in the year 3998 BBY, resultant of Galactic Republic Military intervention solicited by the Tchuukthai Jedi Master Thon. Along with his apprentice Nomi Sunrider, Thon attended the Galactic Senate's Ministry of Defense hearing called to discuss the growing dark side threat on Onderon. Sunrider was chosen to lead the Republic fleet in battle against the worshipers of Dark Lord of the Sith Freedon Nadd, who were united under the banner of Onderon's ruler, King Ommin.

Upon arrival in Onderonian space under escort of the full Republic Navy, Nomi Sunrider and a team of four other Jedi Knights engaged Ommin and his Naddist army. The battle commenced just as Tetan aristocrats Satal and Aleema Keto arrived on Onderon with the intentions of deciphering an ancient Sith spellbook. Caught in the midst of battle, the Ketos were shot down and crashed into Iziz, where, after searching for a time, were led to Ommin, who introduced them to Sith lore. Before he could begin their initiation into Sith teachings, they were ambushed by the Jedi Knights. The Jedi ultimately triumphed over the sorcerer King, rescued the imprisoned Jedi Master Arca Jeth, defeated Ommin's army, and freed Onderon of Nadd's dark influence. The Ketos also escaped Onderon, and, armed with their Sith artifacts, became the new Sith apprentices of Nadd.
