Legends Linked from 14 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A skirmish took place in a landing meadow on Dathomir in 43.5 ABY. Sith apprentice Vestara Khai, the sole survivor of a Sith strike team that had ambushed the Jedi Luke and Ben Skywalker, fled to Dathomir and sent a hypercomm message to her Sith Tribe to retrieve her. On Dathomir, Khai encountered a group of Nightsisters and, realizing their dark side potential, arranged for their capture by her Tribe. A convoy of Sith led by Lord Viun Gaalan arrived planetside to pick up the Nightsisters, who attacked when they discovered that the Sith included men. The Sith easily defeated the Nightsisters, capturing them and killing their rancors.
