A female Force-sensitive Human, Orielle Kitai was born around 3,985 BBY into the Lost Tribe of Sith during its isolation on the Wild Space planet Kesh. Known as Ori by her friends, Orielle eventually became an influential Sith Saber, and, following the election of Grand Lord Lillia Venn in 3,961 BBY, Orielle's mother, Candra Kitai, was promoted to High Lord. While many believed Candra might become the next Grand Lord, the dreams of the Kitai family were cut short on Donellan's Day in 3,960 BBY, when uvak wrangler Campion Dey, who represented the Kitais in the holiday's rake-riding competition, suddenly attacked Grand Lord Venn. Dey was killed, however, and the Kitais, suspected of intrigue against the Grand Lord, were made slaves.

Orielle fled to the farm of her friend Jelph Marrian, where she stayed for several days, plotting a way to reinstate her and her mother's former positions within the Tribe. When she discovered that Marrian was actually a Jedi from the Galactic Republic and was hiding a starship on his farm, she attempted to use that information to gain political leverage over Venn. When Orielle's mother betrayed her, however, the Grand Lord and several accompanying Sith discovered the starship. Venn attempted to use the vessel to escape Kesh, but she and her entourage were killed when the ship's proton torpedoes detonated as a result of a booby-trap set by the Jedi. Orielle and Marrian, resolving to forget the Sith and the Jedi, lived the remainder of their lives in secrecy in the Takara Mountains.
