This was a battle fought on a starship between the forces of the Galactic Empire—led by Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader—and the Jedi Knight Gira, who was protecting a group of Padawans who survived the Great Jedi Purge. Gira fended off the stormtroopers, but was ambushed by Vader. After a brief lightsaber duel, Vader convinced the Jedi to join him, promising to spare the lives of the Padawans, who were aboard an escape vessel. The Sith betrayed Gira, ordering the ship's commander, who had also betrayed Gira, to activate the explosives that were placed aboard the Padawan's ship. After this, Vader left Gira, and the Jedi committed suicide.
