Skirmish in the Operations Hangar

A skirmish took place in 44 ABY in the Operations Hangar of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. After being relieved of his duty by the Jedi Council, former acting Grand Master Kenth Hamner attempted to prevent a wing of StealthXs from launching to assist Luke Skywalker in dealing with the Lost Tribe of Sith, in fear that it would start a war between the Jedi and the Galactic Alliance; the latter being unaware of the Sith threat and thus believing that the wing was aimed at the government. Hamner was confronted by Jedi Master Saba Sebatyne, who tried to stop him from preventing the launch. She defeated Hamner and sent him tumbling over a catwalk, catching him in the Force. However, he threw his lightsaber toward the hangar bay controls, and while she wrestled with him for control of the weapon, she lost her grip on Hamner. Sebatyne caught the lightsaber in the Force, allowing the StealthXs to launch, but Hamner fell to his death.
