Biography
On the way to Ambria to bring years later. Andur’s spirit then instructed Nomi to continue to Ambria and take his place as Master Thon’s apprentice. Though she had no intention of becoming a Jedi she followed her husband’s last instructions. She flew to Ambria and after searching found the humble ranch of the Jedi Master
Despite her original wishes and fear of the imposing Thon, she finally accepted her destiny as a Jedi and the training of the Tchuukthai Jedi Master. She was ed in her training by Oss Wilum, who had already been training with Thon for five years. Shortly after Nomi arrived Oss was called to Onderon to aid Freedon Nadd Uprising and there, Nomi was reunited with Oss.
It was on this mission that she met Arca Jeth and his apprentices, Ulic and Exar Kun, and her previous lightsaber instructor Vodo-Siosk Baas. She also continued her basic training with Thon who was by this time a father figure for not only her but also her daughter, Vima.
There was not a great deal of time for study, however. The Krath began to rise in the Empress Teta system and Nomi was again called into battle. She was paired with Ulic Qel-Droma, whom she had met on Onderon. The two grew close and soon realized that they were in love. Since it was not looked down upon for two Jedi to love and marry at that time, they openly announced their love and their masters were pleased with the match. Before they could be married, however, Ulic defected to the Krath and when the Krath allied with the Sith, he became apprenticed to Exar Kun. Nomi also saw Oss Exar Kun and try to murder Thon. Thon was able to save his former pupil, but Ulic seemed out of reach of the help of his fellow Jedi. With the friends she had made at Ossus and Onderon, as well as Vodo-Siosk Baas’s apprentice, Sylvar, whose mate Crado had also ed Exar Kun, Nomi fought to protect the Republic.
When Ulic killed his brother, Nomi severed his connection with the Force and was convinced that his love for her was severed. He ended up turning on Exar Kun, and helped the Jolee Bindo and his wife, Nayama, experiencing a number of battles together.
In the years following the Republic politics on the capital. Holding the title of councillor, she presumably sat on the Jedi Council.
As Vima grew, she became somewhat rebellious and impatient. When she ran away to find Ulic to train her as a Jedi, Nomi searched and found her with the help of Sylvar. Although the meeting between her and her ex-lover was rather awkward, Nomi realized, after discovering the statues Ulic had carved, that he was finally beginning to find peace; however, Sylvar was far from peace. She blamed Ulic for the death of Crado and viciously attacked him with all the rage of her Cathar predatory instincts. At first, Ulic defended himself but then refused to fight and made her realize that she herself was going down the path of the dark side. Calmed of her rage, Sylvar deactivated her lightsaber, but Hoggon, the guide she had brought with her, shot Ulic in the chest and died in Nomi’s arms. After this, Nomi concentrated on training her daughter.
Her final fate is, as of now, unknown. She was a great Jedi Master of her age, and through her daughter, Vima, she was a multiple-great-grandmother of Vima Da-Boda. The starship Sunrider was named after her.
