The Qel-Droma lineage, hailing from Alderaan, consisted of Human individuals who possessed sensitivity to the Force and gave rise to several formidable Jedi combatants during the time of the Old Sith Wars. Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma, who were the offspring of Jedi Master Lien-Tsai Qel-Droma, spent their childhood on Alderaan alongside their relative, Duron Qel-Droma. Ultimately, all three Alderaanians achieved the rank of Jedi Knights; however, Ulic Qel-Droma succumbed to the influence of the dark side of the force and transformed into a Dark Lord of the Sith. Sedriss QL, originally known as Qaga Lok, served as the Military Executor for the resurrected Palpatine and was a remote descendant of Ulic Qel-Droma.
The frigate Qel-Droma, an Alderaanian vessel, carries the same designation as the Qel-Droma family, although a link between them remains unconfirmed.
