Battle of Mandalore

In the wake of the Shadow Collective's coup against the New Mandalorians, a battle was fought in the city of Sundari, the capital of the New Mandalorian faction on the planet Mandalore. Early fighting broke out as members of the Death Watch who had turned against Darth Maul—leader of the Shadow Collective—attempted to free the deposed former leader of the New Mandalorians, Duchess Satine Kryze from her captivity. Kryze was able to make it outside of the domed city and send a request for aid to her one time lover, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, before being recaptured and returned to prison.

With word of the recent events on Mandalore, Kenobi journeyed to Mandalore to assist Kryze, leading to further fighting as he attempted to evacuate the jailed duchess from Sundari. The Jedi's starship was destroyed over Sundari's docks, and he was captured alongside Kryze by Darth Maul and a cadre of his loyal Mandalorian super commandos. Kryze was subsequently murdered by Maul as part of his vengeance against Kenobi for the Jedi nearly killing him ten years prior, and Kenobi was delivered to Sundari's prison in order to live with the emotional pain from his former lover's death. Before he could ever reach the cell intended for him, Kenobi was rescued by Bo-Katan Kryze, Satine Kryze's estranged sister and the leader of the faction of Death Watch that refused to serve Darth Maul. Kenobi and Bo-Katan moved to flee from Sundari, battling Maul's pursuing super commandos all the way out of the city, before navigating the chaos of a larger conflict that had taken shape at Sundari's docks. Bo-Katan's loyal soldiers clashed with Maul's troops in a heated battle, holding back the Sith's forces in order to allow Kenobi to hurry aboard a Kom'rk-class transport and get off planet.

At the same time Kenobi was attempting to get off of Mandalore, the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious had arrived on the planet, seeking to confront his former apprentice Darth Maul. Sidious came face to face with Maul in the throne room of the Sundari Royal Palace, engaging Maul and his brother Savage Opress in a lightsaber duel that ended with Opress dead at the hands of Sidious, while Maul was subdued by his former master but spared for Darth Sidious' future purposes.
