Mission to Korriban (Second Imperial Civil War)

In 138 ABY, during the Second Imperial Civil War, two Imperial Knights and one Jedi Knight undertook a mission to the Sith world of Korriban to rescue Princess Marasiah Fel of the Empire-in-exile. Fel had been kidnapped by forces of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire during a Jedi–Imperial Knight peace conference on the planet Agamar, and Emperor-in-exile Roan Fel tasked Antares Draco—leader of the Imperial Knights and lover of the Princess—with either rescuing or killing her, lest she betray Imperial secrets to Darth Krayt's One Sith. By focusing his anger, Draco disguised himself as a Sith Lord, and he arrived on Korriban with fellow Imperial Knight Ganner Krieg and Jedi Knight Shado Vao posing as captives he had taken on Agamar.

The three infiltrated Korriban's Sith Temple and rescued Fel, who revealed that Draco's former Master, Eshkar Niin, had become the Sith Inquisitor Darth Havok and subjected her to torture. The group then cut their way through Sith as they retreated to their waiting ship, but Draco, determined to see the Princess escape, remained on Korriban's surface as his comrades fled the planet. After slaughtering a wave of attackers with a stolen Sith lightsaber, he was approached by Havok, who beseeched him to embrace his anger and join the Sith. Draco's refusal led to a duel, which Havok won with the use of Force lightning. Fel was safely ferried to her father's fortress world of Bastion, but Draco was left at the mercy of Havok, who sought to torture Imperial secrets out of his new prisoner.
