The Boma Clan represented just one of numerous clans where aspiring young Initiates found themselves assigned upon commencing their education in the principles of the Jedi Order. As members of their designated clan, these students journeyed collectively through the academy located within the Jedi Temple until they successfully graduated. This particular clan, taking its name from the boma creature native to Onderon, was established at the Jedi Temple in the wake of the Ruusan Reformation within the Galactic Republic. Having fostered a multitude of students across countless generations, the clan, along with the entire Jedi Order, met its end in 19 BBY amidst the events of the Great Jedi Purge.
