Battle of the TIE Fighter Construction Facility

During the Imperial Era in 3 BBY, Jedi General Rahm Kota, a survivor of the Great Jedi Purge led by the Sith Lord Darth Vader to eradicate the Jedi Order, led his militia in a battle to claim a TIE fighter construction yard orbiting the moon of Nar Shaddaa as part of a series of attacks on various Imperial targets, working under Senator Bail Prestor Organa of the planet Alderaan. A brilliant tactician, Kota's battleplan allowed his militia to take over the station.

When it was clear that Kota and his army had a significant advantage over the defending Imperials, Darth Vader resorted to sending in his Sith assassin and apprentice, "Starkiller", to eliminate the threat. However, as Starkiller's existence was highly confidential to only Vader and an Imperial pilot named Juno Eclipse, being a tool in his plot to overthrow Emperor Palpatine, Vader's master, Starkiller was ordered to wipe out all witnesses inside the construction facility, including Imperial stormtroopers. After being deployed into the main hangar bay from his ship, the Rogue Shadow, Starkiller pressed onward through the facility, killing everyone he encountered, effectively ending the combat.

This culminated in a lightsaber duel between Kota and Starkiller, taking place inside an observation tower. Kota used his prowess in the Force to detach the chamber from its base, causing it to freefall towards Nar Shaddaa's moon. Starkiller overwhelmed the Jedi, throwing him with great force into the floor and incapacitating him. In a last ditch effort to defend himself, Kota offered Starkiller a glimpse into his future, one without Vader, before being blinded and thrown out a shattered window, though he managed to somehow survive the ordeal. Starkiller found himself to safety before the observation tower collided with the moon.
