Attack on Jabiim

The attack on Jabiim, or the Jabiim incident, was an attack conducted by the Galactic Empire on the base of the Hidden Path on the planet Jabiim. The assault was led by Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader from orbit aboard the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Devastator, while the ground assault was commanded by the newly-promoted Grand Inquisitor, the Third Sister. In truth, she intended to betray Vader to avenge her class of Jedi Initiates, whom Vader had slain years earlier during the siege of the Jedi Temple, but the Sith Lord was well aware of her planned treachery. The real Grand Inquisitor was alive and with Vader, waiting for a chance to reveal himself to the Third Sister.

The assault occurred as part of the Imperial hunt for the Path, but also the hunt for surviving Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. With the sacrifice of several Path members, including Kenobi's new close ally Tala Durith, Kenobi and the Path were able to escape after Vader landed. The Third Sister took that as her moment to strike, but she was easily struck down and left for dead by Vader and the Grand Inquisitor. Vader then commanded the Devastator to chase down the Path's escape ship, but he focused solely on Kenobi's presence aboard instead of the wider rebel group.
