Vaklu

General Vaklu was the commander of Onderon armed forces during the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War.

During the Mandalorian occupation, Vaklu acted as an underground resistance leader and helped greatly in driving the Mandalorian invaders away from the planet.

After his victory against the Mandalorian, the planet was invaded again by Revan's Sith forces, once again Vaklu had a decissive role in the liberation. People started seeing Vaklu as one of Onderon's greatest heros.

After the war, Vaklu's political intention's began to grow stong. He dissented with Queen Talia about Onderon's allegiance to the Republic. He felt that the Republic kept dragging Onderon to war. He also felt that Onderon should stop selling its natural resorces to war-ravaged planets such as Telos. His popularity within the army officers and soldiers and some sectors of the citizenship gave him great power.

With the help of his right hand, Colonel Tobin, Vaklu started a rebellion by attacking the Republic Ships that were holding a blockade over the planet. Vaklu stated that the Republic had attacked first and that the people of Onderon should see this as a declaration of war. He also claimed that Queen Talia was too slow and he should take her place as the rightful ruler of Onderon. He allied with an unknown Sith Lord, whose forces would help him seize the power as long as he was allowed to visit Freedon Nadd's tomb on Dxun.

Unluckily for General Vaklu and his followers, the Jedi Exile had arrived on the planet looking for his master, the Jedi Master Kavar, who was working in Iziz Royal Palace as the Queen's advisor. Together they crushed Vaklu's rebellion and helped the Queen regain her lost power. Vaklu was imprisioned and Colonel Tobin escaped with Kreia's help.
