CAY QEL DROMA
Cay Qel-Droma was a Jedi Knight during the Great Sith War. Born to a great warrior family on Alderaan, Cay and his brother, fellow Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma, were instructed by Master Arca Jeth at his training compound on Arkania. Cay was eventually murdered by his brother after Ulic had Fallen To the dark side.
Cay was mechanically minded and always tinkered with machines. Having lost his left arm during the Beast Wars of Onderon[1], he replaced it with a prosthetic limb, made from parts of an abandoned XT-6 service droid.
When Ulic approached him with the idea of infiltrating the Krath, a secret society founded by Sith dabblers Aleema and Satal Keto in the Empress Teta system, Cay sought to discourage his headstrong brother[2]. Ulic wouldn't listen, and his actions led to his fall to the dark side.
Even after Ulic's fall, Cay never stopped trying to bring him back to the light. Confronting Ulic in Cinnagar's Iron Citadel, Cay and Nomi Sunrider attempted to draw him back to the light. He refused to return, holding back his brother and former love with a Sith amulet. Cay was reluctant to leave his brother, but was finally compelled to abandon Ulic for the time being[3].
The brothers were to meet again. When Ulic led a Krath attack on Coruscant some six months later, Cay faced him in the ensuing battle and aided in his capture by the Jedi. Ulic was later brought before the Senate's Inquisition to answer for his crimes, and Cay was one of the few who spoke in his brother's defense, despite being repeatedly rejected by him. The matter was soon rendered academic, as Exar Kun and his Sith cohorts attacked the Inquisition and freed Ulic, but even then Cay remained determined to save his brother from the dark side.
In the Battle of Ossus, Cay engaged Ulic in a starfighter duel. When forced to land, they continued the duel with their lightsabers. Cay still pleaded with his brother to renounce the dark side and return to the Jedi, sensing the good that remained in him, but in a fit of rage, Ulic struck him down. His sacrifice was not entirely in vain, however, for when Ulic regained his senses, he was immediately horrified by what he had done, and the shock of his brother's death broke the dark side's spell over him. If unsuccessful in this task in life, Cay had saved his brother in death[4].
