Biography[]
Early life[]
King Tabula was born in 35,452 BBY on Onderon, his name was Arin. His parents were the king and queen of Onderon when he was young. By the time Arin was 15 the Onderon Space Navy turned on the capital city of Iziz, and bombarded the city. During the raid Arin's parents, the king and queen, were killed. The Beast riders helped the Royal Guard fight off the Onderon Military and Space Navy. Because Arin was an only child he was pronounced king of Onderon toward the end of the battle. At the end of that, the Onderon Military and Space Navy was banned in the Onderon system and sent to Coruscant to be put on trial.
Later Years[]
When he was 22 he decided to created another Space Navy, but under a new general. His name was Ju'hat Vakulu, And he was a very loyal general. After the creation of the Space Navy the Hutts tried to invade Onderon system, starting with Onderon. The Space Navy fought them off, as they were a terribly small fleet.
Desperate for help, the Hutts tried To form alliances with the bounty hunters on Dxun, but they refused. After one year the received a distress signal from Dxun, Matka Kordai was calling for help. King Tabula came with one freighter of supplies. When they found out he was the rumored Jedi they pleaded for help in exchange for anything he needed.
The Jedi Encounter[]
After Tabula had formed alliances with the Jedi, they sent a messenger down to Dxun asking if he needed anything in return. Later that day the messenger returned saying he would want a humble work force. For Matka's needs Tabula sent a workforce of religious species to help, and supplies. In later months the job was finished, Matka Kordai went to Onderon. this was to be his first battle in The Great Hutt War.
On the way to Onderon a Hutt spacecraft attacked the transport the Jedi was on. After a boarding party entered the ship the Jedi breached the Hutt's ship also. He went to the bridge threatening the captain (a Hutt), saying that he would kill him if the Hutts attacked Onderon and its system again. The Hutts fled, leaving the Onderon system safe. Tabula was grateful for the Jedi's actions and gave him anything he needed, and welcoming him at any time.
After the Great Hutt War[]
After the war, Onderon joined the Galactic Republic System of Free Planets and the Onderon Space Navy was disbanded. The Galactic Defense took their place. The Royal Guard was kept though, but General Vakulu wanted an army to command, so he was given the Onderon Army to guard the sky gate and the wall.
When Tabula was 78 he was very ill from a Dxun disease. After visiting Matka, he only lived for two more years then he died. He was buried on the Sky Ramp's cemetery.
Behind the scenes[]
Tabula was one of the very few kings of Onderon that trusted the beast riders, and he was the longest ruling king of Onderon due to his trustworthiness and willingness to listen to the people.
