Jedi Master Jedi Master Screetor has summoned Ariana Danacia for her knight's trial. He told her about the legend of Jedi Master Azu, a master during the Times of Chaos who eventually was forced to settle on Zontis where he passed away and was buried. Master Azu was known for his powerful lightsaber. Few however know that the reason for this was the special crystal inside the lightsaber.

Volcanic activity on the planet is threatening the tombs, which means the special crystal may be lost forever. Ariana is tasked to travel to Zontis enter the tomb and retrieve the crystal.

Ariana started with looking for information about Zontis and went to Quartermaster Nishra to get her equipment. During the flight to Zontis she read about Master Azu and about the population of Zontis which seemed to be primitive but peaceful. Ariana landed her ship next to the settlement and started looking for the tombs. After looking around in the town she managed to acquire a tourist map that was good enough to lead her to the location of the tomb.

Ariana flew her ship to the entrance of the tomb and found a collapsed bridge in front of the entrance. With her natural flight this was no obstacle and she went inside. Ariana arrived at a circular room in the tombs with three doors plus the one she had entered, a giant obelisk had toppled over. The left passage was marked “Azu”, the front passage lead deeper into the tomb and the final door was blocked by the toppled obelisk. At this final door she heard somebody was trapped and calling for help.

After pondering her options for a second she decided that she had to save this person. She sliced of a piece of the toppled obelisk with her lightsaber and tossed it away with the force. She managed to find the Zontaran named Elder Terluk who was stuck here. He asked for her help to save the others that were trapped further down while they tried to save the bodies of the ancestors. Ariana decided that she could not abandon these people for a lightsaber crystal. The Zontarans were trapped because a bridge over a ravine had collapsed and the ravine was already starting to fill with lava. She managed to save most of the group of Zontarans by flying them over the ravine one by one. The last Zontaran was still holding on to two bodies making him to heavy to carry. Ariana decided that the living were more important than the dead and snatched the bodies from his hands and tossed them in the lava, after which she flew him over the ravine as well. With the group of Zontarans she ran to the exit where she flew all of the individuals over the collapsed bridge one by one. They made it out just in time before the entrance collapsed after them.

Back in the town Ariana convinced the elders that they should evacuate the town since the village is not safe from the erupting volcano. The whole town started to evacuate and everything seemed to be going according to plan until two local criminals were making trouble. They had a large vehicle and were charging money to evacuate the elderly and children. Some of the elderly had no money to pay them and they would have no transport otherwise. Ariana decided to offer the local criminals a deal to ensure that everybody could get to safety. She offered to pay the criminals in credits if they rented the vehicle to her and evacuated all the people, paying half up front. After telling them with her lightsaber that she was serious about this offer they accepted it and held up there end of the bargain. After the evacuation Ariana payed the thugs the other half of the credits as promised.

After completing the evacuation Ariana left for her ship and returned to Unity to report to the council about what happened on Zontis. There she was greeted by Master Screetor who listened to her report and told her to change in Jedi Knight robes to appear for the council. She put her knight's robes on and exited the changing room on the other side. A circle of Jedi was waiting for her, and master screetor led the knighting ceremony and dubbed Ariana Danacia a Knight of the Union.
