Jedi Queen project In 44 ABY , Sith Saber Gavar Khai developed the Jedi Queen project , which involved the assassination of Hapan Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo in order to prevent the birth of an influential galactic queen of Jedi descent . Charged with the mission , Saber Querdan Dei pursued the Hapan queen to the planet Klatooine , but was ultimately slain in lightsaber combat with Jedi Knight Leia Organa Solo . Prelude . In 44 ABY , High Lord Sarasu Taalon of the Lost Tribe of Sith experienced a vision of a young Human queen , one who ruled the galaxy in the name of the Jedi Knights . Taalon became obsessed with the prevention of a galactic throne upon which sat a Jedi sovereign , but he was killed in battle before his plan could come to fruition . Sith Saber Gavar Khai , who had frequently served with Taalon during the Sith ' s recent battles with the Jedi , became equally determined to act in his late commander ' s stead . he labeled the mission the Jedi Queen project , and the Sith ultimately discovered that Hapan Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo ' s appearance was similar to that of the future Jedi queen ' s , and they feared that Djo would give birth to the queen . Unbeknownst to the Sith , she already had a daughter — Allana Solo , disguised as " Amelia , " the adopted daughter of pilot Han Solo and his wife , Leia . Hoping to prevent a future that had in reality already ccome to be , Khai charged Sith Saber Querdan Dei with the assassination of Djo . Jedi Queen project . Aboard an EE - 104 " Fisheye " called " Cryptic Warning " , Dei and his crew — Hara , Sazat , and Dei ' s son , Fardan — ventured to the Hapes Consortium , with instructions to gain access to and kill the Queen Mother . The Sith detected a fleet of Hapan Battle Dragon s heading for the planet Klatooine with Tenel Ka Djo on board . Querdan Dei and his crew followed the vessels to Klatooine , where they also found that the " Millennium Falcon " had landed . Observation of the camp on Klatooine revealed that it was an unofficial mission for negotiations after the planet ' s recent uprising against their former Hutt masters . Dei performed some reconnaissance around the camp and formulated a plan to carry out his mission . Dei captured one of the Solo family ' s droids , C - 3PO , and planted a bomb inside of him . Dei then paid a 2 - 1B surgical droid that was part of a droid ' s rights group to take C - 3PO and pretend that it had captured the Solos ' droid . The Solos ' supposedly adopted daughter , Amelia , found the droid and rescued it from the droid ' s rights group , then took it with her to assist Djo with translation . Dei planned to activate the droid once it was close enough to Djo , but as he waited , he determined that Amelia could in fact be Djo ' s daughter , as she was very similar in appearance . Dei resolved to kill Amelia as well , and when C - 3PO was in position , he reached for his controller to activate the bomb in the droid . However , Amelia had sneaked up behind him and taken the remote . Dei demanded that she give it back , and although she refused , he was able to determine that Djo was indeed Amelia ' s mother . The Sith Saber charged the young Amelia with his lightsaber , but before he could harm her he was intercepted by the girl ' s pet nexu , Anji . Anji ripped out his eye before he was able to throw the nexu off of him , and as he prepared to renew his attack on Amelia , he found himself face - to - face instead with Leia Solo . She requested Dei ' s surrender , but he refused , and they engaged in lightsaber combat . The duel lasted for several minutes , but eventually Dei spun in such a way that he lost sight of Solo due to his newly - lost eye , and she killed him . Aftermath . Soon afterward , a larger Sith force under the command of Gavar Khai failed in their mission to capture the powerful dark side entity Abeloth on the planet Nam Chorios . Abeloth contacted Khai after the battle to form an alliance against their mutual enemy , the Jedi . Khai agreed , although Abeloth soon afterward betrayed the Sith and destroyed their capital city , Tahv . Khai fell under Abeloth ' s influence , however , and left the Sith , joining the entity ' s forces instead . Although Khai still showed interest in preventing the Jedi queen from coming to be , Abeloth refused to allow him to continue the Jedi Queen project . Behind the scenes . The groundwork for the Jedi Queen project was initially laid down in author Troy Denning ' s " " , the sixth novel in the nine - part " " series , wherein Taalon had his vision of the Jedi queen and was later killed . The project was first named and carried out in Aaron Allston ' s " " , the seventh novel of the series .
