Ambush in the Surd Nebula

This Ambush in the Surd Nebula was a short battle between the Galactic Federation Triumvirate and a pair of Sith, which took place on the floating world of Mala few months after the Second Imperial Civil War. During this brief skirmish, the One Sith Darth Wredd and his master shot down an Imperial shuttle carrying the Triumvirate's emissary, the Imperial Knight Yalta Val to the Carreras system. Val had been sent by the Galactic Triumvirate to supervise the final stages of the construction of the Carreras G51 communications array, which was part of a galactic-wide G51 communications array network. Wredd's master killed Yalta Val's crew and stormtrooper escorts and destroyed the shuttle. However, the Sith master was then slain by his apprentice Darth Wredd, who took Val prisoner and impersonate him, stealing his armor. This set the stage for the Carreras Incident and Darth Wredd's insurgency against the One Sith.
