In 4 ABY, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker and Imperial Special Forces Agent Del Meeko simultaneously undertook a Mission to Pillio. Meeko, accompanied by several squads of stormtroopers, was under orders to destroy the Emperor's Observatory on the planet Pillio, and stop the valuable relics hidden there from falling into the hands of the Galactic Empire enemies. Skywalker, meanwhile, felt called to the planet by the Force, and sought to investigate this mysterious draw which drew the the Acolytes of the Beyond, who engaged the Jedi but were easily bested by Skywalker.
