Battle of Bakura The Battle of Bakura was the culmination of tensions during the Ssi - ruuvi invasions , where the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire formed an unlikely truce to defend the planet Bakura from an alien invasion from the Ssi - ruuvi Imperium during the Galactic Civil War . Having defeated the Ssi - ruuvi threat , the Imperials under Governor Wilek Nereus turned on his Alliance compatriots ; destroying several starships and effectively ending the truce . However , Imperial attempts to re - consolidate control over the Bakura system were thwarted by the Bakuran resistance and the defection of the Imperial commander Pter Thanas . Following Nereus ' death , the Imperial garrison on Bakura surrendered and were shipped to a neutral location under the peace terms . The Bakuran government joined the New Republic — the successor government to the Alliance . In response to the potential threat of the Ssi - ruuk , the New Republic dispatched a taskforce into the Ssi - ruuk Star Cluster to deter further incursions . Prelude . Military Cooperation . Despite the animosity between the Rebels and Imperials , the Alliance commander Luke Skywalker and his Imperial counterpart Pter Thanas quickly managed to establish an effective defense grid . This was vital because the Ssi - ruuk soon returned and effectively blockaded the planet . Despite the loss of their human - piloted battle droids , they were supplemented by a steady flow of P ' w ' eck slaves . Skywalker advised Thanas to see the Rebel forces as his own and Thanas acted accordingly : In the final plan the more powerful Rebel starfighters took over key position and would be in the center of Ssi - ruuvi fire . General Solo opposed this deployment at first , but a simulation showed higher overall casualties if key position would be evenly distributed between Imperial and Rebel squadrons . This changed Solo ' s mind . Salis D ' aar ' s spaceport and the orbital repair platform were used to repair both Imperial and Rebel ships . One Imperial repair crew was allowed access to the Alliance flagship " Flurry " to repair the previously damaged starboard deflector shield . Although time was short , Bakuran engineers were able to modify the DEMP weapon technology and mount it on two patrol boats . General Solo wanted a prototype of this technology for the " Falcon " , but Nereus and Thanas declined , stating that there was neither enough time nor parts . Around one day after the Rebel arrival the preparation were completed : The plan was , in case of another attack , to destroy one or more cruisers and force the Ssi - ruuk to retreat . Rebel forces would spearhead every attack . However , should the Ssi - ruuk not launch another attack , Nereus ordered a counterattack at the evening of the following day . Thanas wanted attack sooner , but Nereus insisted , since he had his own plans . Rebel crews were allowed downtime on Bakura , although this soon proved difficult for non - Humans . Due to their isolation from the greater Galaxy , most Bakurans had an aversion to alien species and could not differentiate between a Ssi - ruu and a Mon Calamari . This was further compounded by a long - standing anti - droid sentiment due to a droid revolt . Political Intrigue . Shortly after the Ssi - ruuk were driven away , Leia Organa was allowed to speak in front of the Senate . Many of the older Bakuran senators and veterans of the Imperial invasion had opposed the Empire but remained subdued for years . However , Leia ' s speech aroused them . In the evening , Prime Minister Yeorg Captison invited both Rebel and Imperial leaders to his house to provide a neutral ground for further discussions . During this dinner , the Bakura Truce was signed after Nereus received verification of the Emperor ' s death and the absence of any reinforcements . However he warned Organa that any encouragement for rebellion would still be punished . To increase the animosity between the Bakurans and the Rebels , Nereus encouraged a few thugs to ' look around ' landing Pad 12 , where a Rebel Corellian gunship was stationed , on the pretext of preventing any Ssi - ruuk from slipping through the blockade . The thugs attacked a few Mon Calamari , who then defended themselves . Only the timely arrival of Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca prevented any escalation , but two Bakurans died in the shoot out . Skywalker later learned that the Bakurans who had been at the area had been encouraged to be there by Nereus . The next day , Leia Organa made a formal apology to the Bakuran Senate over the incident . Organa also offered the services of two Alliance droids , R2 - D2 and C - 3PO , to assist with efforts to translate intercepted Ssi - ruuk transmissions . During the morning of the next day Skywalker visited the elderly Eppie Belden and used his abilities to start her mental healing process . Although this act of mercy was more to assure Gaeriel Captison of the good nature of the Force and Jedi , it would prove vital for the later battle . Despite Nereus ' warnings , Organa tried to persuade the Bakurans to secede from the Empire and join the Rebellion . She went out with Captison and senator Orn Belden were out on a private airspeeder cruise . Using a Disruption Bubble Generator to prevent Imperial eavesdropping , they discussed the status of the Bakuran resistance , as well as the likelihood of Bakura revolting against Imperial rule . However , their activities were monitored by Nereus and they were arrested and imprisoned . Organa was imprisoned at Nereus ' s private hut , to be handed over to the next Emperor . These arrests compounded by the death of Belden during interrogation caused great unrest among the citizens . A curfew was established , but preparations for an uprising were made . Gaeriel was present at the Beldens ' house when the Bakuran resistance sprang into action , on her way to tell Eppie about the death of her husband , who had died after being captured by the Empire on charges of sedition . Instead , she was surprised to see a recovered Belden , successfully healed by Skywalker , leading the resistance effort and already cognizant of her husband ' s death . After some persuasion from Belden , Gaeriel agreed to help the resistance . Belden gave Gaeriel a computer chip that allowed her to access Imperial stormtrooper communications , which she used to send fake distress calls to Imperial forces across Salis D ' aar . She then destroyed the chip and went to warn Skywalker of the impending Ssi - ruuk attack . Meanwhile , Han Solo had received news of Organa ' s arrest . With the help of C - 3PO he deactivated any proximity sensors around Nereus hut and disabled the two stormtroopers guarding his room . He sent off C - 3PO , disguised as a Stormtrooper , to warn Skywalker of the attack before joining Chewbacca and the " Falcon " , before he left to save Organa with a stolen speeder . As Salis D ' aar was in uproar , Solo was intercepted by an armored security speeder , but with wild maneuvers , Solo managed to lose his pursuer in the city ' s streets . Ssi - ruuvi plans . After the initial defeat the Ssi - ruuvi fleet returned just outside the Bakura ' s defense grid and established a blockade . The fact that the Human slave Dev Sibwarra and Skywalker made telepathic contact during the battle opened an interesting theory to the Entechment Master Firwirrung : Skywalker , since he was stronger than Sibwarra , might be able to entech thousands of beings at the same time , even from lightyears away . To implement these plans , he constructed a special entechment rig , designed to keep the occupant alive and under control . It was tested on Sibwarra who used the Force to entech a captured human male a few meters away and a human female on another deck . To get their hands on Skywalker , the Ssi - ruuk secretly contacted Governor Nereus with a deal . If he would handover the Jedi , the Ssi - ruuk fleet would withdraw . Nereus agreed but was wise enough not to trust the saurians . Since he suspected Skywalker would be left alive during his capture , he revived one of his old plans and infected the Jedi with three olabrian trichoid larvae . During the delivery , one of the larvae infected Senator Gaeriel Captison . When Skywalker waited for his transport to the " Flurry " , Nereus dispatched a shuttle to the " Shriwirr " to pick up the Ssi - ruuvi delegation . This delegation consisted of Sibwarra , Sh ' tk ' ith , Firwirrung , two pilots and another Ssi - ruuvi soldier . While the pilots stayed with the shuttle , the rest , together with four Stormtroopers , confronted Skywalker , his astromech droid R2 - D2 and Gaeriel Captison in a cantina near Pad 12 . In the ensuing skirmish Skywalker first made the stormtroopers stun themselves by using the Force , before engaging the nun - humans . Skywalker severed Firwirrung ' s claws and beheaded the other soldier , but his leg was hurt by the exotic weapons . Sibwarra tried to use an Imperial rifle to attack Skywalker , but the Jedi used a massive mental push with the force to break Sibwarra ' s brainwashing . Captison , who had no combat experience at all tried to attack Bluescale , but missed and was stunned in return . R2 - D2 pulled the helpless senator to safety and returned as soon as possible to help his master , but Skywalker , distracted by the situation , had been taken out by a tail - kick and a stun beam . To cover the escape of the shuttle , which was now completely under Ssi - ruuvi control , the remaining expeditionary fleet attacked the grid . The shuttle could now leave the almost abandoned spaceport , as Rebel and Imperial crews hastily returned to their ships . Sibwarra , despite being free of the brainwashing , played the loyal servant he had been and hoped for a good opportunity to escape with Skywalker . If necessary , he would kill the Jedi to disrupt the galaxy - threatening plans of his former masters . The battle . Confronting the enemy . Within minutes , Solo had reached Nereus ' hut in the mountains . Solo managed to evade the ten Navy troopers and a Security droid as he infiltrated the compound . However , Leia had already worked on her own escape . As they both tried to escape in a stolen Kishh ' tih airspeeder , Nereus ' s trap sprung and they were pursued by three Tracker - 4 military airspeeder . However , two X - wings of Rogue Squadron , led by Gayla Riemann and sent down by Skywalker , scared them away . Solo and Organa reached the city and joined Chewbacca and Threepio onboard the " Falcon " before heading off to space . Admiral Ivpikkis had launched several simultaneous attacks on the defensive web to distract the defenders from the captured shuttle . One starfighter was able to launch an attack , but was quickly destroyed by a squadron of " Swarm " - droids before he reached the shuttle . Other starfighters tried to reach the shuttle and managed destroyed several droids , but were pushed back by rapidly approaching swarms that formed a corridor to the " Shriwirr " . While the attack caught the defenders off - guard , Thanas ' strategy and skills enabled the Rebels and Imperials to hold their ground . Nine Ssi - ruuvi picket ships moved into attack positions , as the " Millennium Falcon " , together with three TIEs moved to its designated position . Rogue Squadron engaged the enemy on the other side of the planet . During the first wave , the Ssi - ruuk launched their " D ' kee " - class landers . However , these sluggish ships proved easy prey for the more maneuverable defending starships . The battle brought the " Falcon " relatively close to the " Shriwirr " and Solo and Organa had to fight of dozens of battle droids and were able to destroy another picket ship . Taking the " Shriwirr " . Once the captured shuttle had reached the " Shriwirr " , Dev carried the unconscious Skywalker to the modified entechment lab . He tried to warn and awake Skywalker with telepathic messages through the Force , but received no answer . The Ssi - ruuk , however had " smelled " through Sibwarra ' s act and when they arrived in the lab , Firwirrung offered Sibwarra the reward he had always promised : entechment . Upon being discovered , Sibwarra panicked and tried to strangle the Jedi . In the meantime , the seemingly unconscious Skywalker had been able to take over the mind of a simple P ' w ' eck slave . He used it to distract his captors by taking out the lights , freed himself and called back his lightsaber with the Force . After he ordered Sibwarra to hide , he killed every P ' w ' eck and Ssi - ruuk in the room , except for Firwirrung and Bluescale , whom managed to escape . Skywalker pursued them , but was stopped by three security droids . After dispatching the droids , Skywalker returned to the lab and demolished every single entechment rig , to stop any further Ssi - ruuvi plans . He and Sibwarra proceeded to the engine room on Deck 18 and had to face another group of six security droids . Skywalker used the Force to communicate with their enteched souls and freed them with his lightsaber . When he and Sibwarra sprung a stun trap on their way to the engine room , they alerted the Ssi - ruuk of their whereabouts . Faced with a Jedi loose on their flagship , most of the Ssi - ruuk had abandoned their cruiser , taking every singe available escape pod and ship , including the Imperial shuttle . Admiral Ivpikkis was among them , he continued to command the battle from an escape boat . Only Firwirrung and Bluescale had remained onboard , still hoping to catch the two force - sensitives . Firwirrung and his P ' w ' eck assistants had quickly modified another rig for Skywalker while Bluescale dispatched three detachments of P ' w ' ecks from Deck 16 once he had located Skywalker . Sibwarra and Skywalker worked their way through stun traps and a final ambush led by Bluescale , before they reached the engine room . In the ambush , Dev Sibwarra managed to kill the imposing Ssi - ruu and afterwards revealed their plans to Skywalker . The Jedi understood the motives behind Sibwarra ' s actions they proceeded to the engine room where Skywalker destroyed several consoles and freed every single trapped soul on the ship . In the meantime , the two Olabrian trichoid larvae inside Skywalker had matured and wandered through his body , causing a deteriorating coughing fit inside him . Ignorant of the real cause , Skywalker assumed he was allergic to something in the Ssi - ruuvi ship ' s atmosphere . While making their way across the abandoned bridge of the " Shriwirr " , the pair came under attack from a lone P ' w ' eck armed with a blaster and grenade . Skywalker severed its fore - claw and used the Force to propel the grenade out of the bridge and slamming the exits shut . He then told Sibwarra to tell the P ' w ' eck that they did not intend to harm him if he agreed to help them . However , the P ' w ' eck refused to cooperate and reached for his blaster , prompting Dev to shoot him dead . Skywalker admonished Sibwarra for killing in cold blood to which the latter responded that the P ' w ' eck would have murdered them when it had the right opportunity . Imperial betrayal . Meanwhile , Pter Thanas received word of Skywalker ' s abduction . He also received further orders to destroy the " Shriwirr " and any escape pods , due to contagious nature of the olabian trichoids . At this point , the " Shriwirr " had only four picket ships left for its defense . Solo urged Thanas to question the orders , but nevertheless , the Captain ordered squadrons Eight through Eleven to attack the pods . Manchisco , Organa and Solo protested , but the progress in battle prevented any further actions . Chewbacca had been able to repair C - 3PO , which now allowed the Alliance to dechiper the Ssi - ruuvi communication . The " Flurry " and a patrol craft attacked a " Wurrif " - class cruiser and tried to force it into the range of the " Dominant " tractor beams . The " Dominant " , however , came under attack from another squadron of battle droids , but was able to destroy two of them right away . The attackers were able to heavily damage the cruiser ' s engines , leaving the " Dominant " only with maneuvering thrusters and out of range to attack the " Shriwirr " . The " Falcon " had to face another squadron of battle droids as the Ssi - ruuvi cruisers launched more battle droids as soon as the old ones had been destroyed . The combined forces of Imperial and Rebel ships were soon able to encircle two more cruisers . Rebel forces took over key positions and came under concentrated Ssi - ruuvi fire , while the " Falcon " lead four X - Wings of Red Group and five TIE fighters into battle . A patrol craft , " Digit / Bakura VI " , took heavy damage and used its remaining energy to ram a cruiser . An hour later the channels were flooded with Ssi - ruuvi chatter , as a hasty retreat was ordered . All ships retreated , except for the " Shriwirr " and its four escorting pickets . Solo , distrusting the Imperials , ordered all Rebel ships to break away and form up around the " Falcon " . The " Flurry " , however , had been in range of the " Dominant " and was the first victim of the broken truce . All hands were lost but the " Dominant " did not escape without any damage as the " Flurry " returned fire before its destruction . With the neutralization of the Ssi - ruuvi threat , the Imperials had torn up their earlier truce with the Rebels and launched a new offensive to annihilate the scattered Rebel starships . Before Red Group was able to form up , numerous TIEs forced them into dogfight . Rogue Squadron was still trapped on the other side of the planet and had barely received Solo ' s warning . The " Dominant " continued to destroy Rebel forces and only a few survivors were able to gather around the " Falcon " . Once again Thanas proved his tactical skill and surrounded the remaining Rebel forced in a globe formation . TIE Fighter and patrol boats drove the Rebels into the " Carrack " tractor beam range . In that situation , Solo came up with a desperate plan which involved using the " Falcon " to ram a patrol craft on a kamikaze attack on the " Dominant " . With the cruiser out of the way , the Alliance fighters would be able to scatter . The Bakuran Revolution . In the midst of the fighting , Gaerial received medical treatment at the Salis D ' aar Imperial base where an Imperial medic diagnosed her condition as a form of nervous ionization . She quickly learned of the Ssi - ruuvi attack on the orbital station . Due to her collaboration with the Rebels and her important position in Bakuran politics , she was confined in a bare chamber with no windows and a high ceiling to deter escape . Having recovered , she was brought into Governor Nereus ' private office which was adorned with trophies of various animal species that the latter had hunted throughout his career . Nereus had been trying to ally Captison with his faction within the Bakuran Senate . While initially repulsed by his mannerisms and plans to take - over full control of Bakura , Captison managed to maintain a diplomatic front and attempted to obtain the governor ' s approval for a public funeral for the late Orn Belden . Nereus refused , citing a curfew that banned all public gatherings . She then inquired into the nature of Eppie Belden ' s illness . Nereus calmly intimated that he had used a parasite to debilitate Belden years earlier as punishment for her seditious activities . Sensing Gaerel ' s growing fatigue , Nereus revealed that he had inoculated Olabian Trichoid larvae into her meal with Skywalker as part of a plot to infect the Ssi - ruuk . However , since she was invaluable to his schemes , Nereus had her immediately treated with pure oxygen to kill the larva . The governor then revealed his intentions to eliminate and destroy the Alliance ships once the Ssi - ruuk attack had been beaten off . With the Ssi - ruuk in full retreat , the Imperial forces had begun to fire on the Alliance ships , inflicting severe casualties . An outraged Captison voiced her objections to Nereus ' actions and argued that the Alliance had risked their lives to repel the Ssi - ruuvi invaders . Nereus countered that the " Rebel assistance " was in the past and that the Coruscant government would punish Bakura for accepting aid from the enemy . He also reminded Gaerial that she ought to be grateful to the Imperials since they had subsidized her education and that Bakura had benefited from its ties to the Empire . Meanwhile , an illegal protest organized by the Bakuran resistance was gathering nearby the complex . Sensing victory , Nereus attempted to coerce Gaeriel into approving himself as the new successor Prime Minister . He then threatened to shoot Yeorg Captison , whom he accused of treachery , unless the two yielded to his demands . These demands included compelling them to tell the Bakuran populace to cease resistance and submit to Imperial rule with Nereus in charge . At this movement , the Bakuran resistance sprung into action . They incapacitated his Stormtrooper bodyguards by unleashing a painful electronic alarm system through their helmets . The elderly 123 - year old Eppie and several other resistance members entered the room . Much to Nereus ' surprise , she was fully recovered , leading the resistance effort and already cognizant of her husband ' s death . Outnumbered , Nereus surrendered to the resistance fighters ; ending his bid to seize power over Bakura . Taking advantage of the Imperial garrison ' s preoccupation with the Ssi - ruuvi threat , resistance agents had been able to infiltrate the Imperial military base . The resistance was also greatly aided by about 24 high - placed sympathizers within the Bakuran government who had provided them with access codes . They had also been helped by R2 - D2 , whom had alerted Eppie after Imperial forces had taken Gaeriel into custody . Initially , the Bakuran resistance wanted to try Nereus for his crimes but Belden persuaded them to hand him over to the Rebel Alliance . Endgame . Despite growing weaker from the effects of the parasites in his body , Skywalker tried to used his remaining strength to summon the Force to make a mental connection with the Imperial captain Thanas . Meanwhile , Sibwarra managed to activate one of the " Shriwirr " ion cannons and use it to destroy a picket ship . However , they were then attacked by Dev ' s former master Firwirrung and a gang of P ' w ' ecks . While Luke managed to immobilize the P ' w ' ecks , he was cornered by the Ssi - ruu who leveled his paddle beamer at the former . At that moment , the damaged " Dominant " broke formation and opened fire on the " Shriwirr " bridge , killing Firwirrung but severely wounding Dev in the process . He placed the wounded Sibwarra in a Jedi sleeping trance and then used the Force to eliminate the olabrian trichoid larvae by exposing them to oxygen . Soon , Han , Leia and Chewie boarded the wrecked " Shriwirr " bridge and managed to evacuate Skywalker and the mortally - wounded Dev . While aboard the " Falcon " , Luke used the Force to mentally communicate with Thanas and persuade the latter to desist from his mission of destroying the " Dominant " by sending feelings of peace and serenity . Admiring the heroism of his former foes and seeing the underlining flaws in his superior Nereus , Thanas made contact with Skywalker . The Jedi assured that he had taken care of the parasites and that he needed a medical crew to treat the wounded Dev . As a good will gesture , the Imperial commander agreed to come in person . Thanas also agreed to surrender himself and the " Dominant " to the Alliance authorities in exchange that his men be sent to a neutral pickup point and allowed to return home , and that Sibwarra be put on trial . When the local Imperial Security Bureau operative among the bridge crew tried to intervene , Thanas quickly stunned the man . Thanas dispatched an unarmed two - man evacuation pod to the " Falcon " and placed Captain Dren Jamer in de - facto command of the vessel . While aboard the vessel , they received news from Bakura that Madam Belden ' s resistance fighters had captured Nereus and that Gaeriel was well and alive at the Bakur complex . Having taken command over the " Dominant " , Skywalker ordered the crew to move into firing position over the Imperial garrison at Salis D ' aar . The Alliance B - wings were dragging it into place and the vessel was escorted by a pair of X - wings . The " Millennium Falcon " landed on the Bakur complex and were greeted by Yeorg and Gaeriel along with a captive Nereus . During a brief war of words , Nereus announced to Leia and her companions that he still commanded 3 , 000 ground - based troops and claimed that Imperial survivors were landing on Bakura in escape pods . Leia responded that the " Dominant " had submitted to Rebel control and that its weapon systems were aimed directly at the garrison . In the midst of the spat , Skywalker stepped onto the scene . Horrified and believing that Skywalker was still infected , Wilek Nereus yanked a blaster rifle from Gaeriel and tried to kill Skywalker . Unfortunately for him , the Jedi merely deflected the laser blast with his lightsaber back at Nereus , killing him . Aftermath . The Third Battle of Bakura saw the neutralization of the Ssi - ruuk , the liberation of Bakura from the Empire and the immediate Alliance to Restore the Republic being reorganized into the Alliance of Free Planets , the precursor to the New Republic , with Bakura immediately joining . The New Republic historian Voren Na ' al later referred to the battle and surrounding events as the Bakura Incident to play down public fears of the Ssi - ruuk . Unfortunately , in the following day , the Ssi - ruuk threat was replaced with the Nagai - Tof threat and would last a month , before ending with their defeat and the subsequent formation of the New Republic , while still based in Bright Tree Village on Endor . 2 years later the New Republic would take Coruscant from Imperial rule and thus the New Republic , had officially replaced the Galactic Empire . To prevent a second Ssi - ruuvi attack on the worlds on the edge of Wild Space , the Rebel Alliance ' s successor state — the New Republic — organized an invasion force for an expedition into the Ssi - ruuvi Imperium ' s territory . This task force consisted of the captured " Shriwirr " which had been renamed " Sibwarra " , 12 Nebulon - B escort frigates and several escort warships . The New Republic also provided the fragmented Imperial warlords with intelligence on the Ssi - ruuk in the hopes of a securing a second joint attack on the Ssi - Ruuk . However when the New Republic fleet emerged in Ssi - ruuvi space , they discovered that the Chiss Ascendancy had already launched a blistering campaign in Ssi - ruuvi territory ; devastating the Imperium capital of Lwhekk and fragmenting the Ssi - ruuvi socio - economic caste system . The Chiss had attacked in retaliation for attacks on several Chiss worlds which had seen several of their citizens enteched . Above Lwhekk , the New Republic fleet clashed with the remnants of the Ssi - ruuvi fleet under Ivpikkis . Having reached a stalemate , the New Republic attempted to negotiate unsuccessfully with the Ssi - ruuk . With the Ssi - ruuk unable to mount another campaign for an unforeseen period and with the growing conflict with the fragmented Imperial warlords looming in the horizon , Chief of State Mon Mothma ordered the withdrawal of the New Republic fleet from Ssi - ruuvi space for an attack on Imperial - held Clak ' dor VII . The devastation of the Chiss attack was to a degree that it was not until many years later that the Ssi - ruuvi contemplated renewing their expansion . Two major events occurred in that time . One was the birth of the Keeramak , an event of major significance in the Ssi - ruuvi religion . The Keeramak himself , a mutant Ssi - ruu , was a skilled strategist and politician . The other event was the secret takeover of the Imperium by the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong , who secretly placed one of their own , E ' thinaa , into the ranks of the Ssi - ruu as a ranking general . Meanwhile on Bakura , when her uncle Yeorg retired from public life , Gaeriel won the election to succeed him as Prime Minister , and had the distinction of being Bakura ' s youngest Prime Minister . One of her main accomplishments was the establishment of the Bakuran Defense Fleet ; she placed Pter Thanas , the former commander of the Imperial garrison on Bakura , in command of it . In 18 ABY , Bakura withdrew from the New Republic in protest of the misuse of its Defense Force during the attack on Centerpoint Station during the Corellian Crisis . Unwilling to make the same mistakes as the Old Republic which adopted a hard - nosed attitude towards the Separatist movement , the New Republic did not interfere with Bakura ' s decision . In Ssi - ruuvi Space , E ' thinaa and the Keeramak devised a new strategy for continuing the invasion . They made a secret deal with the Prime Minister of Bakura , Molierre Cundertol , and engineered a faux P ' w ' eck slave uprising by the P ' w ' eck Emancipation Movement under Lwothin , positing the Keeramak as its leader . Together , they succeeded in consecrating Bakura and launching a second invasion of the planet in 23 ABY during the devastating Yuuzhan Vong War , but when the P ' w ' eck ' s actually did revolt and managed to kill the Keeramak , all was lost . Cundertol himself fled back to Lwhekk , where E ' thinaa — revealing himself to have been a disguised Yuuzhan Vong agent — killed him .
