SYNOPSIS
Millennia ago, the hyperspace lanes opened the galaxy for trade and democracy. The Galactic Republic was formed on the basis of wise governing of selfless administrators and preservation of harmony and justice by the Jedi Knights. The secret histories of these Jedi Knights are recorded in the Jedi Holocron. One such story is that of Ulic Qel-Droma and the Beast Wars of Onderon.

On the mining world of Arkania, Jedi Master Arca has setup a training compound for his Jedi Knights. His most fearless student, Ulic Qel-Droma is currently battling a training droid, slicing off it's appendages easily while wearing an opaque blast shield. His boldness distracts him from the stun beam from the droids body. Master Arca instructs Ulic on the use of the Force in such matters as Ulic's brother Cay, begins repairing the damage to the droid.
