lyrics

I: A History of the Planet Onderon

Onderon is the planet
It's orbited by four moons
The closest one has its own atmosphere
That in ancient times touched its host

Then, great beasts from the moon soared through sky
And migrated to the planet below
Its people, at the dawn of becoming civilized,
Were ripped to shreds and consumed

The people of Onderon
Fought back and made a great walled city
With millions to defend from the savage outlands
They sentenced their lawbreakers to face

Some beasts were subdued by outlaws who survived
And trained as mounts for an army
Wild kingdoms rose of beast-riding warlords
That still battle the city today

Master Arca teaches

II: Ulic's Arrival and the Beast-Rider Assault

Ulic Qel-Droma, his brother Cay, and Tot Doneeta the Twi'lek
Three apprentices on their first mission alone
Sent by Master Arca to bring peace to Onderon
Flying the Nebulon Ranger, they near the city walls
When a swarm of beast-riders unleashes an assault
The great wall's defenses hold back the beasts
So the guardians of peace can meet the city's queen

III: Queen Amanoa in the Great Walled City

Queen Amanoa sits high on her throne
Asks the young Jedi why they've come alone
Where's the great master she wanted to see
To protect her daughter and her city?

IV: Ulic and the Beast-Rider Invasion

Glass shatters as beast-riders crash
Through the throne room's windows overhead
Queen Amanoa and her daughter Princess Gallia
Are escorted by palace guards to safety as
Ulic Qel-Droma ignites his blade of light
The ancient weapon of the Jedi Knights

A beast-rider swoops down to take his life
But Ulic keeps his mind calm and lets the Force be his guide
His lightsaber slices off the flying beast's head
Green gore gushes from its neck as it tumbles to its death
Tot Doneeta the Twi'lek and Ulic's brother Cay
Swing lightsabers at more beast-riders as they invade

Three Jedi apprentices under attack
Beast-riders coming in too fast for them all to be held back
Beast warrior-commandos crush the palace guard
And take Princess Gallia up into their arms
With her in their grip they make their escape
The Jedi vow to the queen that the princess will be saved

V: Royal Wedding in the Savage Outlands

The Nebulon Ranger takes flight once again
To save the princess who the Jedi swore to defend
Chasing the beast-riders through the savage outlands
They're shot down from the skies by the warlords' cannons

Their deflector shields fry and they crash

WIld beasts surround the wreckage on all sides
Tot Doneeta uses the Force the control their minds
The Jedi ride on their backs to the great fortress
Where a beast-riding warlord holds the captive princess

They arrive on the scene in a flash

At the fortress the three young Jedi come upon
The wedding of the princess and the beast lord's son
Ulic grabs her but she screams and fights with him
Leaving the queen for this marriage was her own plan
But now Ulic finally sees a chance to bring peace to this planet
One leader from each side to keep them all united

But only if Queen Amanoa accepts

VI: The Dark Side Queen

The Jedi take them back to the city
Princess Gallia begs the queen for peace
Queen Amanoa hates her ancient foe
So much it disturbs balance in the Force

She raises her arms, darkness reaches out
Filling minds with fear, confusion and doubt
Evil waves attack, surging everywhere
Dark side of the Force power overwhelms

VII: Ulic and the Fall of the Great City Walls

Ulic Qel-Droma and Cay and Tot Doneeta
Retreat with the city's princess and warlord's son
Now they see the city walls being besieged
By all the world's united beast-riding warlords' armies
Never has Onderon seen a battle this great
Pounding on its surface till it starts to tremble and quake

Three Jedi apprentices fight just to survive
Untold millions of city guard and beast-riders kill and die
The dark side sorcery of the city's queen
Strengthens the city guard and makes the beast-riders weak
At last a great Jedi Master nears and her powers fade
Causing her city to fall to a new beast-rider reign

VIII: Master Arca's Arrival and the War in the Force

Master Arca arrives
Sides of the Force collide

The dark side queen has died
Force balanced by Jedi
