Greeting Obi-Wan Kenobi during his search for General Grievous on Utapau was Port Administrator Tion Medon. The tall Utapaun initially feigned ignorance about Grievous' whereabouts, but then whispered a warning to Kenobi. Grievous was indeed on the planet, hiding on the tenth level of the sinkhole city with an army of thousands of battle droids.

Kenobi offered a secret in kind -- the time for Utapau to prepare its resistance forces was now. The Utapauns refueled Kenobi's starfighter, which the Jedi sent on an automated decoy voyage off the planet while he surreptitiously continued his search for Grievous.

Medon passed on Kenobi's veiled message to the local resistance and anxiously awaited a signal. He didn't have to wait long. Two full Republic brigades dropped in from the skies, blazing into the sinkhole city to do battle with the Separatist occupational forces. The Utapaun resistance, made up of local warriors on foot and on dactillion wing, bolstered the clone troopers in whatever way they could.

In one of the most bitter reversals of the war, though, Utapau's liberation was shortlived. With the defeat of the droid forces, the clone troopers in turn occupied the planet, rounding up the Utapaun resistance. Tion Medon was one of the captives.
