Sidrona Diath was a male Human Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order up until his death in the Battle of Basilisk in 4017 BBY.
A Human Force-sensitive, Sidrona Diath settled on the Outer Rim planet, Tatooine during the era of the Old Sith Wars. Receiving training in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order, Diath eventually attained the rank of Jedi Master. During this time, Diath fathered a son named Dace, whom he raised on his homeworld in the ways of the Jedi. The younger Diath would eventually attain the rank of Jedi Knight and study the ways of the Force on Ossus. Sidrona Diath would utter the immortal words "Koroght gaghgt Takt" in Tusken to the Jedi High Council before leaving the Coruscant Jedi Temple to fight in the Great Sith War, disagreeing with their approach to the war effort. The nearest Basic translation was "Blessed be your going out from us."
In 4017 BBY, Master Diath took to the front lines of Basilisk to do battle with the Mandalorians. During the fighting, Diath was killed by the enemy.
Sidrona Diath's body was later returned to his homeworld Tatooine and buried there.
In 32 BBY, several millennium after Diath's death, members of the Jedi High Council recalled the famed Jedi Master's last words spoken to members of the Council of the era: "Koroght gaghgt Takt." Master Eeth Koth reflected on these words during a discussion of the famed Jedi-turned-Tusken Sharad Hett.
Master Diath was still revered by the inhabitants of Tatooine centuries after his death. Some of his history would be chronicled by Alaikai Trotter during the Galactic Civil War. However, in 1 ABY, Diath's ancient grave site was defaced by an anti-Jedi group. Although Jedi supporters were threatened by the Galactic Empire, the Tatooine Coalition for the Preservation of the Prominent Past recruited a spacer to hunt and fight the defilers.
The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly states that Sidrona Diath was killed by the Sith at the Battle of Basilisk.
