The The Xomlirga is an unaligned Force user who lives on the forest world of Exa-12 in Sector 12 -3. They are rumoured to know some unique force powers and they have indicated to be willing to teach these powers to the Jedi. The Jedi Council has sent a pair of Jedi to visit them and learn their ways to hopefully gain new insights into the Force: Nathan Miodrass Asillion and Ariana Danacia. Once they complete their lessons, the Jedi should be able to create a Holocron containing the learning so future Jedi may benefit from it.

The ship carrying Nathan and Ariana Danacia had made good time despite being held up by a Remunzian patrol to ensure the emissions of their ship was within their stringent tolerance levels. The formality was soon handled however and when the ship dropped out of hyperspace after the final jump, Exa-12 was showing below in all of its green glory, only the polar icecaps suggesting anything except forest on the ocean-less world.

Nathan and Ariana travelled to Exa-12. They were checked by a Remunzian patrol that checked their emissions. The planet Exa-12 is filled with forest. The world is a uninhabited world that is designated as a natural preserve by the Remunzian government. The ship had no place to land. Ariana Danacia brought some some food and a communicator to contact the pilot. Nathan jumped out of the ship and used a rope to lower himself to the ground. Ariana Danacia jumped out of the ship and crashed through the trees and landed on the ground.

The Jedi used the force to find their way on the planet and found a a large stone was erected on a hill top. They found no person just the trees and the standing stone. Suddenly a Remunzian woman stepped out of the bushes behind them. The woman was dressed in furs and woven plants.

After some silence she gave the Jedi directions. “Go North for an hour until you reach the stream, follow the water for three hours until you reach the waterfall, then go north again.” After refusing to answer questions she repeated the instructions.

Nathan Miodrass Asillion and Ariana Danacia followed the instructions and found the waterfall. When they continued the sun was already going down. After waiting the woman appeared again. She smiled at the two padawans and acted as if they were children. Nathan Miodrass Asillion and Ariana Danacia did not understand the lesson. They found out that the had been walking in circles and were at their original location again.

They would continue their training in the morning. It was late and they would have to spend their night in the wilderness. During the night they were attacked by some kind of monkeys that were throwing rocks at them. When Nathan Miodrass Asillion started throwing rocks back at them they ran away.

The next day they made a tour through the forest and jumped through many trees. The woman introduced them to many kinds of flowers and creatures. At the end of the day they stopped in the highest part of the canopy where they rested for a while and studied a specific tree for hours. The Jedi noticed that the forest was alive and that they could see the leaves grow over the course of this few hours.

The Jedi grew impatient with the tests and puzzles presented by the woman. They had trouble communicating with the woman. According to the woman the two Jedi were not in tune with nature and were still in the city with their minds. The force is not a tool to manipulate according to the woman.

When they decided that they could not learn more from each other Ariana Danacia called in their ship and they left Exa-12 and returned to Unity.
