He shows up, but does not give Jaina an opportunity to take him down as he defeats the rest of the Mandalorian forces. The Mandalorians invade the meeting room where the Moffs hold their meetings, and fight off their guards and stormtroopers as Jaina finds herself a sniping position for when Caedus would reveal himself in the battle. She meets up with the dispatched Mandalorian forces inside who were sent by Fett to kill the Moff Council. While Saba, the Skywalkers and the elder Solos distract Caedus's holding forces with the help of Fett and the Mandalorians, Jaina inserts herself into Nickel One to carry out killing her brother. Luke, Leia, her husband Han, Saba Sebatyne and Jaina all take a Skipray 24r Blastboat to Nickel One. Now, in the aftermath of Ben's capture, Luke had also foreseen Ben getting his information from Shevu, which had reveals to the Jedi Coalition that Caedus is at Nickel One. Knowing that Caedus is Mara's actual killer, Luke also knows that he would end Caedus not for the good of the galaxy, but because to enact his vengeance, thus losing himself to the dark side completely. The only reason that Luke himself will not go after Caedus, as he is clearly more powerful than him, is that when Luke killed Lumiya in vengeance for the death of his wife, Mara, he had been tainted by the dark side of the Force. This is so that when Jaina would finally meet Caedus in a duel to the death, the Sith Lord would not expect it coming. Jaina and her mother, Leia, try to save Ben using a commandeered medical frigate, but they run headlong into a GAG ambush that forces Jaina to abandon Ben on Coruscant as she and her mother make their escape.ĭespite Ben's capture, his father, Luke, tells Jaina and her parents, when they get back to Shedu Maad, that he expected Ben to get captured because he had foreseen it in his visions, as he had been countering Caedus's own powers to muddy his visions. But Ben is captured by Tahiri Veila and her forces, along with Shevu, who is arrested for aiding Ben in his failed escape. Unfortunately, Ben figures out that they are being spied upon by the rest of the GAG, and he tries to escape, resulting in the Skirmish on Coruscant. Later, on Coruscant, Ben Skywalker meets up with his friend and Galactic Alliance Guard spy Lon Shevu who discreetly tells Ben that Caedus is located at Nickel One. Jaina makes it back to the Jedi base at Shedu Maad where she, her family and the rest of the Jedi High Council plan to sneak onto Coruscant and get information as to Darth Caedus's whereabouts.

Jaina leaves at Fett's command to get back to the Jedi Coalition while he stays behind to do as best he can to fight off the invaders with the Verpines in order to honor his mutual-aid treaty with them. Jaina and Fett find that the Remnant is using some sort of aerosol nanokiller attack used to kill the Verpines working in the asteroid. Jaina and Boba Fett travel throughout the interior of Nickel One as Darth Caedus's Galactic Alliance and Imperial Remnant forces raid the asteroid during the Battle of Roche.

The furious final moments between power and peace are here, and whoever confronts Darth Caedus will decide the outcome-and the fate of those left standing. There is only one who is bound by destiny to stand against him in what will surely be a duel to the death, only one with an outside chance of bringing down the dark lord who was once Jacen Solo.įailure is not an option. For Caedus is a scion of both the Skywalker and Solo bloodlines whose command of the Force surpasses even that of his grandfather Darth Vader. It's a plan that will be as difficult and dangerous to execute as it is daring. Now it seems that the last, best hope lies in mobilizing the scattered Jedi for one decisive search-and-destroy mission. Tormented and torn between the call of duty and the thirst for vengeance, Luke has searched the Force and beheld an unspeakable vision of the galaxy enslaved under tyranny more monstrous than even Palpatine's. At the same time, having gained the support of the Imperial Remnant and its ruthlessly efficient forces, the Galactic Alliance, with the extraordinary power and dark brilliance of newly ascendant Sith Lord Darth Caedus at its helm, may be unstoppable. The rebel cause is losing ground under the twin blows of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon's assassination and the death of Mara Jade Skywalker. With so much lost-and nothing less than the course of the future still at stake-there can be no turning back. Now, in the long and punishing battle between the defiant champions of the New Jedi Order and the juggernaut that is the Galactic Alliance, the endgame is finally at hand.
