A rare ability, which many frowned upon for its seemingly violent nature, Malacia was taught by Rancisis for many decades, and he recorded his notes on using the power in the Great Holocron. Malacia allowed a user to use the Force to turn an opponent's equilibrium against him or her, halting movement and causing dizziness and nausea, though the effects were only temporary. Battle meditation allowed the user to boost his allies' morale while draining his enemies', and to subtly alter the odds of any given battle. Rancisis was eventually made a Jedi Knight and later a Jedi Master, proving adept at the rare Jedi techniques of battle meditation and Malacia. Devoted to the Jedi Code, he refused the offer, and continued with his training in the Jedi Temple. In 186 BBY, when Rancisis was twenty, terrorists stormed the Thisspias alcazar on Ramatesh and killed his younger sister, who had become Blood Monarch during Rancisis' early training Rancisis was the next in the lines of heirs, and was offered the throne. He also received training of some sort from Master Yoda, though Rancisis was a rebellious student, sometimes disobeying Yoda's instructions. Yaddle trained Rancisis in the Jedi arts, and he proved to be an adept wielder of the Force and a tactician, with a keen sense for military strategy. Rancisis was accepted by the Jedi Order, and eventually selected by Jedi Master Yaddle, a revered member of the Jedi High Council, as a Padawan. She hoped that, after his training had been completed, he would return to Thisspias and succeed her as Blood Monarch, and use the wisdom and power taught to him by the Jedi for Thisspias's benefit. The son of the female Blood Monarch, who ruled over Thisspias, he was discovered to be force-sensitive as an infant, and his mother offered him to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for training in the ways of the Jedi in 200 BBY, when Rancisis was six standard years old.

Oppo Rancisis was a Thisspiasian mle born on the planet Thisspias in 206 BBY.
