Duel on Socorro

In 137 ABY, a duel between the Sith Hand Darth Talon and the Imperial Knight Elke Vetter took place in a courtyard of the planet Socorro's Imperial Mission temple. Vetter had been traveling with Princess Marasiah Fel of the Empire-in-exile on a quest to see who among Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire were still loyal to Marasiah's father, exiled Emperor Roan Fel, and they were welcomed into the temple by Imperial Missionary Astraal Vao.

When that news reached the Sith Lord Darth Krayt, he dispatched Talon to Socorro in order to send Marasiah fleeing, which he hoped would in turn lead his One Sith to her father. After setting the temple on fire, Talon dueled Vetter as Marasiah and Vao escaped, and she defeated her opponent by cutting off the Imperial Knight's left hand and stabbing her in the thigh with her lightsaber. Talon then used the Force to extract Marasiah's destination from Vetter's mind and killed her foe with Force lightning.
