King Ommin of Onderon is a fictional character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe up until the end of the Beast Wars. He was a direct descendant of Freedon Nadd, and like all the Kings before him, practiced his ancestor's Sith magic. In his later years, his body was supported by a metal lattice, his muscles and bones having been warped and literally decayed by the dark side.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Ommin followed the typical path of an Onderonian ruler- he was born to the ruler of the great walled city Iziz, heir to the realm and its vast cache of Sith artifacts and documents, not least among which was a sarcophagus in which mouldered the corpse and Sith spirit of the great Dark Lord of the Sith, Freedon Nadd. Ommin was tutored in the dark side by his father, much like his other lessons in diplomacy, etiquette, history, all geared to teaching him the effective use of power. The dark side lessons drew him as the other did not, and he mastered what his father could teach. His achievements would be crowned by his success, upon his accession to the throne, in compelling Nadd's spirit to manifest and instruct his lineal descendant further in the arcane secrets of the Sith.

Ommin at around this time married a beautiful Force-sensitive named Amanoa, with whom he had a daughter, Galia. Inevitably, Amanoa discovered Ommin's immersion in the dark side and sought to save him. Ommin refused, and tried to instruct his wife in what he knew. She acquiesced, secretly convinced their love would prove stronger than his attachment to the dark side. She thought wrong; she had badly overestimated her resistance to the corrosive lure of the dark side, and she fell, becoming an outstanding Sith sorceress.

As his body failed, Ommin turned over de facto rule of Iziz to Amanoa.

Eventually, Amanoa would nearly start a war with the exiles and Beast Riders, and called in the Jedi to mediate. The Jedi rendered an unexpected verict and turned on the royals; Amanoa confronted their leader, the famed Jedi Master Arca Jeth, and called upon Freedon Nadd. The two were defeated, and Amanoa slain. Ommin survived, but when he and his surviving forces attempted to recover Nadd's sarcophagus,he fell afoul of Ulic Qel-Droma, who used the life-support systems to his advantage, slicing it with his lightsaber. Ommin collapsed, to beaten down to fight. Freedon Nadd then stole Ommin's soul, taking it to the embrace of the dark side.
