Legend

this man was the king of the planet Onderon some 350 years after the start of the Beast Wars, shortly before the Great Sith War. Like his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather before him, Ommin took control of Onderon and ruled through the use of the Dark Side of the Force. He became enthralled by Freedon Nadd's teachings, and when the spirit of Nadd approached him, Ommin allowed the Dark Jedi to grow in power. When the Jedi Knights were dispatched to Onderon to put an end to the Beast Wars, Ommin was revealed as Freedon Nadd's descendant. He carried some of the Dark Side ability with him, and his marriage to Queen Amanoa helped to bring out the Dark Side in him. Following the death of Amanoa during the intervention of Jedi Master Arca and his Jedi Knights, Ommin went into hiding, and was kept alive by mechanical means. Only his daughter, Galia, and a few trusted advisors knew he was still alive. When Arca came to Ommin to request help in recovering the stolen remains of Freedon Nadd, Ommin drew on the Dark Side of the Force to capture Arca. Ommin used the Dark Side to reach out to Satal Keto and Aleema, who had stolen Sith artifacts from the Galactic Museum on Coruscant. However, the artifacts couldn't save Ommin from the pureness of the Light Side, which had led Ulic Qel-Droma to his underground lair. Qel-Droma defeated Ommin with a swift slash of his lightsaber, crumpling Ommin's mechanical armatures and reducing the withered king to a formless mass of flesh. The spirit of Freedon Nadd, set free by the use of the Sith artifacts, finished what Ulic had started by taking Ommin's soul.
