Warrior monks were inhabitants of Sedri, a planet and home to the Sedrian civilization. Their duty was to protect Sedrian cities and villages, and they followed the orders of the bishop of war. Armed with spear guns and sun guns, these warrior monks carried out the directives of the High Priest of the Golden Sun.
In the year 3 ABY, a group of smugglers found themselves on Sedri, tasked by Black Sun Vigo Sprax with locating the missing Barani List. Rebel Alliance diplomat Mors Odrion provided them with an escort of five warrior monks. As the team journeyed toward a Sedrian village recently devastated by mercenaries employed by Black Sun's Prince Xizor, they were attacked by four villagers who had survived the massacre. When Xizor's team emerged and joined the battle, the villagers recognized the warrior monks and promptly sided with Sprax's group.
