Discovery on Skara Nal

Between 19 BBY and 18 BBY, Clone Force 99 and the pirate Phee Genoa discovered an ancient superweapon walker. The subject of legend, the walker had long been believed to be a city built by the Ancients containing a valuable crystal called the Heart of the Mountain. Bad Batch member Omega found a compass with the coordinates of the Kaldar Trinary system, and Genoa persuaded the team to accompany her on a treasure hunt. Upon reaching Skara Nal in the system, the compass led them inside of a mountain. Contending with various booby traps, the group eventually made its way to a chamber containing the Heart of the Mountain. When Genoa removed the crystal, however, the truth of Skara Nal's nature was revealed as being a massive walker with a superlaser which began to destroy the surrounding environment. Hunter persuaded Genoa to put the crystal back as the Batch's starship, which they had used to travel there, would be destroyed if she did not. The crystal melted when it was returned to its slot inside the walker, and the war machine itself shorted out and collapsed, destroyed for good. All of the humans survived, but Genoa's droid MEL-221 was destroyed, although the pirate was not perturbed as she had backed up Mel's memory on her ship, the Providence.
