the wife of Andur Sunrider, Nomi accompanied her husband on a
mission to deliver Adegan crystals from Master Chamma to Master
Thon. When they were waylayed in the Stenness System and Andur
was killed, Nomi suddenly realized that she was as strong with the
Force as her husband was, if not stronger. She quickly dispatched the
thugs that killed Andur, using his lightsaber to cut them down. She
feared the use of the weapon, and later continued her husband's trek
through the Stenness System to deliver the Adegan crystals to Ambria.
There, she herself picked up the Jedi training that was meant for her
husband. She trained under Master Thon, who discovered that Nomi
was proficient in the use of Jedi battle meditation. Thon also started
training Nomi's daughter, Vima. When Bogga the Hutt pursued Nomi
and her Adegan crystals to Ambria, Nomi again resisted the use of the
lightsaber, but took it up to defend her Jedi Master. She dispatched
Bogga's minions, and strode further down the path to becoming a Jedi.
It is later revealed by Thon that Nomi's coming is foretold in at least one
of the Jedi Prophecies. She was later assigned to assist Ulic Qel-Droma
in quelling the civil war in Onderon system, and eventually fell in love
with Ulic. That love was short-lived, though, for Ulic fell down the path to
the Dark Side of the Force in his attempt to penetrate the Krath. They
tried to defeat the Krath in the Empress Teta System, but were
repelled. She was part of the Great Council on Deneba, and later
returned to the Tetan System to try and persuade Ulic from his dark
quest. Her love for him proved to be lesser than his desire to avenge
Arca's death, and he left to become Exar Kun's apprentice. She
returned to Master Thon, and was caught by Crado and Oss Willum,
who had come to kill Thon as part of Exar Kun's pogrom. She and
Sylvar were able to stave off the attack, but Nomi was drawn deeper
into the Great Sith War. When Ulic Qel-Droma was captured and
brought to trial on Coruscant, Nomi went with Cay Qel-Droma and Tott
Doneeta to try and appeal to Ulic. His Sith possession was too deep for
Nomi's love, and the appearance of Exar Kun only strengthened Ulic's
powers. Nomi and the other Jedi were powerless as Kun executed
Vodo-Siosk Baas, and struggled to follow Ulic and Kun to the Auril
Systems. Nomi went to Ossus to assist with the evacuation of the Jedi
libraries after Aleema destroyed the Cron System, and was again
caught up in Ulic's demise. After Ulic murdered his brother, Cay, Nomi
was so enraged that she used the Force in an attempt to cut Ulic off
from the Force. Her anger made the attempt extremely effective, and
Ulic was completely cut off from the energy of the Force. She resolved
herself to the fact that Ulic would never love her again. In the aftermath
of the Great Sith War, Nomi threw herself into politics and was the
driving force behind the Exis Convocation, but lost track of her
daughter Vima, who stowed away on Hoggon's ship to seek out Ulic on
Rhen Var. Joined by Sylvar, Nomi traveled to Rhen Var to recover her
daughter. She discovered that Ulic had never forgotten her, and had in
fact carved the likenesses of Nomi and Andur into a cliff of ice with
Vima's help. However, she was unprepared for Sylvar's arrival on Rhen
Var, and even less prepared for Hoggon's killing of Ulic. After Ulic's
body disappeared into the Force, Nomi vowed to focus more on the
training of her daughter.
