Broden Kel Verdox, a Jedi Master belonging to the Jedi Order, was a servant of the Galactic Republic. To safeguard the primitive native species, known as the Yalarans, on the planet of Yalara from premature integration into the galaxy, Verdox implemented a cloaking device rendering the entire world undetectable.
During 14 ABY, Jedi Knight Jaden Korr found that Noghri commandos had killed the Yalarans who were guarding the cloaking device. As a result, the Disciples of Ragnos, a cult seeking the resurrection of the deceased Sith Lord Marka Ragnos, became aware of the device's existence. To ensure the cult could not exploit the powerful cloaking technology, the young Jedi took action and destroyed Verdox's invention.
The character of Broden Kel Verdox was initially referenced within the video game Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, which originally came out in 2003.
