Arca Jeth

"The enemy has found me, Ulic, but the enemy knows only darkness. I know something that enemy does not... I know the Light."

- Arca Jeth's final words

Arca Jeth was the Arkanian Jedi Master and Watchman who trained Ulic Qel-Droma, his brother Cay Qel-Droma, and the Twi'lek Tott Doneeta. He was known to have been one of the wisest Jedi, and one of the first known to use the ability battle meditation.

Biography
Arca Jeth served the Old Republic during the Great Droid Revolution on Coruscant and during the Beast Wars on Onderon. During the Great Droid Revolution, he developed a technique that allowed the Jedi to deactivate droids with the Force. He was also part of a Jedi/Republic task force sent to the Hapes Cluster to eliminate the Lorell Raiders, who had preyed on Republic shipping for decades.

Arca Jeth helped cleanse the Sith presence from the planet of Arkania, which he then chose for his species to adopt as a homeworld. Arca Jeth established a wilderness training center on the planet where his apprentices could be instructed. During a graduation ceremony Arca dispatched his apprentices Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma, and Tott Doneeta to quell a civil war on Onderon. After only three days Arca was forced to leave Arkania in his starship Sungem to intervene personally on his students behalf. After helping Onderon obtain peace, Arca was slain at a Jedi assembly by a Krath War Droid. In the arms of his most gifted student, Ulic Qel-Droma, Arca Jeth became one with the Force.

At some point Arca Jeth created his own holocron which became buried on Arkania. It was later rediscovered and given to Tionne Solusar on behalf of the New Jedi Order.

Arca Jeth wasn't the only Jedi who was slain. Qui-Gon Jinn was also slain during his battle with the Sith Lord Darth Maul in the Second Battle of Theed on Naboo.
