Duel near the Omen

A duel occurred in 5000 BBY, in the wreckage of the Omen, a Sith dreadnaught that crash-landed on the uncharted planet of Kesh during the Great Hyperspace War. The battle was waged between the half-brothers Yaru and Devore Korsin, over who would command the rest of the Omen surviving crew. After a tense argument in the remains of their ship, Devore, who desired his brother's post as captain of the Omen, attacked Yaru while under the influence of Red Rage spice. The lightsaber duel continued outside the teetering dreadnaught, and, although Devore briefly gained the upper hand, Yaru regained the advantage after using the ship itself as a weapon. After being hit squarely in the shoulder by one of the Omen torpedo tube doors, Devore ended up covered in rubble just meters from the edge of a steep cliff—although Devore was incapacitated, Yaru decided to drop his brother off the ledge to his death.
