Battle in the Fallanassi village

A battle took place in a Fallanassi village on Pydyr, a moon of the planet Almania, in 44 ABY, between the exiled Jedi Luke and Ben Skywalker, the Lost Tribe of Sith, and the dark side entity Abeloth. The Jedi and Sith had allied their forces to attack Abeloth—who had been causing a Force psychosis amongst Jedi Knights in the Jedi Order—although the Sith betrayed the Jedi. Nevertheless, Abeloth was defeated and believed to be dead. However, she had survived through trickery, and she used the Sith Meditation Sphere Ship to pit the Jedi and Sith against each other. During the ensuing duel, Sith High Lord Sarasu Taalon dove into the Pool of Knowledge, a Force nexus, and began to transform into another Abeloth-like being. The Jedi escaped with Sith apprentice Vestara Khai in tow, and tracked Abeloth to Pydyr.

There, Khai secretly sent a message to her Tribe, alerting them to her location and situation. Taalon led a group of Sith to Pydyr, where they found the Skywalkers and tenuously repaired their alliance for another strike at Abeloth; Taalon promised he would kill her after he learned what he was becoming. The Jedi and Sith located a Fallanassi village, where they found Abeloth hiding in the form of the Fallanassi Akanah Norand Goss Pell. After using illusions to drive the majority of the Sith temporarily insane, Abeloth agreed to speak privately with Taalon about what he was becoming. However, the Jedi followed them, and battle broke out between Abeloth, the Sith, and the Jedi. Luke defeated Abeloth, killing Pell's body, but she switched to the body of former Jedi Callista Ming and returned to the battle, and the weakened Jedi were quickly defeated and captured. However, Khai realized that she could not allow another Abeloth-like being to exist, and when Luke caused a distraction by using the Force to crumble the ceiling, she killed Taalon.

The Skywalkers were freed during the ensuing confusion and Khai joined them in battle against Abeloth, who was forced to flee. Khai attempted to take the Jedi into custody, but Luke tricked her father, Gavar, into believing that she had betrayed the Tribe in killing Taalon. As the rest of the Sith recovered from the illusions, Master Jestat Vhool ordered to hold the Jedi hostage while he went to find Taalon. He discovered that Khai had killed Taalon, but she was already aboard the Jedi's vessel; she opened fire on the Sith forces and the Skywalkers ran aboard their ship. Meanwhile, a StealthX starfighter strike team sent from the Jedi Order arrived and attacked the remaining Sith, forcing them to retreat. The Skywalkers and Khai then continued tracking Abeloth.
