Duel at The Home

The Duel at The Home was a lightsaber duel that took place in the year 40 ABY between Jedi Knights Jacen Solo, and Nelani Dinn, orchestrated by the Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya. The duel took place in The Home; an asteroid-mansion that was once the domain of Darth Vectivus, an ancient Dark Lord of the Sith. It was here that Lumiya convinced Jacen to become a Sith, in order to save the galaxy from the anarchy Jacen felt was all too common.

The duel was the culmination of a series of events that began with an investigation into the origin of a set of strange tassels that were Force-imbued with unintelligible meanings, found by Jaina Solo on the recently attacked Toryaz space station. The search, led by her brother Jacen and his informal pupil Ben Skywalker, led them to the planet Lorrd, renowned throughout the galaxy as a center of high academia. Upon going planetside, they linked up with female Jedi Nelani Dinn, who directed them to a specialist in language decryption.

Dinn, a female Jedi Knight whom Jacen met around 33 ABY and trained in lightsaber combat, was present while Lumiya attempted to corrupt him to the dark side, and thus intervened by engaging Lumiya in a duel. In his own confusion, Jacen turned on Nelani and battled her, spurred by a Force vision of Luke Skywalker dying if Dinn remained alive. The duel ended with Jacen running her through with his lightsaber, with death soon to follow. In her triumph, Lumiya regarded Jacen Solo, as he accepted her offer to lead him down the path of the dark side of the Force.
