Sometime circa 3643 BBY, in the era of the Galactic Republic-Sith Empire Cold War, a Jedi Consular embarked on a quest to Tatooine. The purpose of this undertaking was the rescue of Jedi Master Eriz Vossan, who was afflicted by the Dark Plague. To accomplish this, the Jedi Consular employed a shielding technique acquired through study of the Noetikon devices.
