Telos IV

Telos is featured in the videogame duology Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, produced by LucasArts and Obsidian Entertainment. Telos was mentioned in the first installment as the homeworld of character Carth Onasi, which he fled after it was bombed by a Sith fleet. During the second game, 5 years later, restoration efforts are underway to help return the planet to its prior state. The efforts are coordinated from Citadel Station, a giant "shell" orbiting the planet. This effort is being run by the Ithorians of planet Ithor, who are experts in planetary restoration. Telos, if the restoration effort were to succeed, would set an example for the rest of the Galactic Republic and create other planetary restoration efforts to help ruined planets such as Dantooine, which was also bombarded during the Jedi Civil War. On the planet of Telos itself, a secret academy run by the Jedi Master Atris, lies hidden under the northern polar ice cap.

Thousands of years later, Telos has recovered and become a popular destination for intergalactic tourists. About twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, the former padawan Xanatos turned the planet upside down in his pursuit for personal power. Only the intervention of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted Xanatos' plans, and helped return the planet to its rightful government, as described in novel The Dark Rival.
