Birth
"If we die, I hope that you will never forget how much your father and I love you"

- Doana Sicta to the newlyborn Daecen Sicta



Daecen Sicta was born at a time of instability in the galaxy. An alien species had arrived from a different galaxy to take over the galaxy that the Galactic Alliance ruled. These alien species were known as the Yonhi. The Yohni were an intelligent and religious species that believed in an entity known simply as the Yohni King. The Yohni's religion stated that they had to conquer a vast kingdom so that their king would arise and lead them to glory. Daecen's mother, Doana Sicta, an eighteen year-old Jedi Knight, named Daecen after a his maternal grandfather who was a simple Dantooinian farmer. Doana decided to hide Daecen from the Yohni at the time of his birth. The Jedi Council agreed and they hid Daecen on his homeworld of Dantooine to be raised by his Jedi Father, Dresis Sicta, who had been injured in a battle with the Yohni.

Life on Dantooine
In 62 ABY, the war had not settled and was in fact, getting more ferocious. However, Daecen's mother came numerous times to check the welfare of her family. Daecen's father was no longer injured and could fight. Daecen was only two years-old, but had shown an interest in ships. Dresis and Doana's friend, Zeba Zeytyne, had even said that Daecen was going to be a good mechanic due to his interest in ships and how he played with toy tools.

In 63 ABY, Dresis and Doana had triplets. Although Daecen's mother had been infected by a disease that the Yohni had used on her called the Yohni Strain that weakened the body until the infected was dead, she was able to be cured in time to give birth to the triplets. Daecen new siblings, two sisters and one brother, were named Mora, Norona, and Adma. However, the family was not able to be together long due to the Jedi Council informing Dresis and Doana to return to the battle and help the Galactic Alliance. Daecen and his siblings were then raised by Zeba Zeytyne whom, had a son named Zebon that Daecen became friends with. Zeba had taken the role of teacher over Daecen and Zebon. She taught them the basics of being a Jedi and the Jedi teachings. Daecen was young and thought of the Force as a mere tool that was given to a handful of individuals. However, that did not stop him from wanting to learn about it.

The Yohni had attacked Dantooine while Daecen and Zebon were practicing on their use of the Force. The Yohni were quick to wreak havok on Dantooine. Zeba had put her ship on auto-pilot to Telos IV and boarded the children on it. She then closed the door and the ship left the planet, leaving her to die by the hands of the Yohni. Daecen tried to comfort the distraught Zebon during the trip to Telos. When they had entered Telos' atmosphere, they were attacked by the Yohni who had coincidentally traveled to Telos and conquer it. The ship went out of control and Daecen and the other crash-landed on the Telos Academy.

Daecen and the others were taken in by the Echani women that served for a Kaminoan Jedi Master named Tyaro Jul. Tyaro and the Echani women took Daecen and the others in. Tyaro then told Daecen and Zebon that it would be much safer if his sibling were seperated. Mora and Norona were sent to Nar Shadaa to live with a wealthy friend of Tyaro named, Oranis Tal. Adma was sent to Naboo to be raised by Naboo's royal family, the Arodolla. Daecen missed his siblings, but knew it was for the best. In 65 ABY, Daecen and Zebon were now Tyaro's padawan learners. They were taught mainly in the Force due to Tyaro teachings of the Force being more poweful than a lightsaber. However, Tyaro did teach them an aggresive lightsaber form known as Vaapad. Daecen and Zebon would train in the Force for most of the day and then they were instructed to learn more from the Academy's archives. At night, they were being taught one-on-one combat by the Echani women.
