Duel at the Pool of Knowledge

In 44 ABY, a duel took place at the Pool of Knowledge, a Force nexus on Abeloth's planet. After they fought and apparently killed the dark side entity Abeloth, the Sith Sarasu Taalon, Gavar Khai, and Vestara Khai, along with their Jedi allies Luke and Ben Skywalker, discovered that Abeloth had actually survived. In the ensuing search for her, they were led by the Meditation Sphere Ship to the Pool of Knowledge. There, Ben glimpsed the Sith homeworld, and Gavar, suspecting betrayal, moved to attack. Luke Force-pushed Gavar as Taalon glimpsed a Jedi queen on a throne in the Pool and, fearing that she would prevent the Sith's rise to power, dove in.

Gavar fired Force lightning at Luke, but Ben drove him back with blasterfire before Vestara engaged the younger Jedi in combat. Luke attacked Taalon and Vestara after Taalon reemerged from the Pool, and Gavar threw his parang at Ben, using the Force to guide the blade in between the Jedi's ribs. Gavar then moved to attack Luke, but the Jedi threw him into Taalon and Vestara, and cut off Gavar's weapon-arm. After being repelled with Force lightning, Luke fled the grotto with Ben and collapsed the entrance behind them. The Sith then beat Vestara and sent her to the Jedi—making it appear as though she had fled their punishment—to find out more about the Jedi queen. Meanwhile, Taalon began to transform into the same type of being as Abeloth, and the Jedi tracked Abeloth to the moon Pydyr, where the Sith again joined them in confronting her.
