Battle of Felucia ( Great Jedi Purge ) The Battle of Felucia was a series of skirmishes between the Galactic Empire and the Felucian race . An order was issued to Imperials stationed on the planet to enact complete genocide of the Felucian race , which had turned savage under the influence of Dark Jedi Maris Brood . Much of the race had retreated into the Ancient Abyss , and so a Sarlacc stabilizer was built to allow passage into the creature to round up any survivors and kill them . During the course of the battle , Brood had taken Senator Bail Organa hostage , who had come to the planet to find Jedi Master Shaak Ti . He was unaware she had been killed a year before . Galen Marek , the secret Sith apprentice of Darth Vader , arrived to extract Organa later during the battle , and so casualties on both sides of the conflict were immense . Prelude . Following the assassination of Jedi Master Shaak Ti , the planet went unprotected , and the Galactic Empire established its presence and took over . Maris Brood , stranded on the planet , succumbed to the planet ' s dark side energies , and in doing so took the Felucian tribes with her . Now considered a savage species by Imperial forces on the planet , Felucians were sought to kill . Both sides were locked in deadly conflict , with both hunters and prey alike gaining little ground over the other . The battle . Genocide . Survivors of the Felucian species either engaged in warfare with the Imperials , or fled into the maw of the massive Sarlacc at their Ancient Abyss . To eliminate these survivors , the Empire restrained the Sarlacc by constructing the Sarlacc stabilizer , which consisted of the main elevator , three bridges , chains restraining the Sarlacc tentacles , and three power generators . Though partly due to the Sarlacc ' s sheer size , entry and navigation within the beast , without the danger of being digested in doing so , was made possible by the construction of the stabilizer . AT - STs were among the reinforcements sent down to the planet , landing in capsules ejected from the Imperial fleet above . Incinerator stormtrooper s and Heavy stormtroopers made up much of the Empire ' s ground forces on the planet , along with Purge trooper s . To combat the Empire ' s lethal machinations , Felucians used Rancor mounts to great effect . Arrival of Galen Marek . Using Leia Organa , whom he had rescued from Kashyyyk , as a bargain chip , Galen Marek attempted to contact Bail Organa to help him form an army to oppose the Emperor . Organa , however , was last heard from on Felucia , in search of Shaak Ti — whom Starkiller had recently dueled . The Senator had not been heard from since . With the help of Master Rahm Kota — albeit almost letting slip his indirect involvement in Organa ' s predicament — Starkiller headed to Felucia to find the rogue Senator . Upon the " Rogue Shadow " s landing , Starkiller unknowingly arrived in the middle of a firefight between the Felucians and stormtroopers , who both suffered heavy losses . Passing through the decayed vegetation , now lined with marks of Imperial establishment , Marek came across another firefight - - one between the Imperials and Organa ' s bodyguards . Entering the fray on the latter ' s behalf , Marek killed the Imperials before asking the guards for Organa ' location . He destroyed at least two AT - STs , deployed from AT - ST drop pod s , on his advance before reaching the Sarlacc stabilizer . Sensing the creature ' s pain , he freed it of the chains restraining it , and powered the main lift , searching its stomach for Organa . He had lost communication with Juno Eclipse inside , and was met with both Imperial and Felucians . Once he reached the creature ' s lung , he was spewed out . After being expelled from the sarlacc , Marek found himself once again in between the conflict raging between the Felucian natives and the Imperial pacification forces . It was here that Marek discovered that the Felucians were making use of their Rancor mounts against the advanced technology used by the Empire . Being caught in the fighting , Starkiller was forced to fight both sides , as well as a Rancor mount . He eventually came upon the Rancor Graveyard , where Senator Organa was being held . As Marek freed Bail Organa , the Senator informed his renegade savior that Shaak Ti ' s apprentice had gone mad . It was then that they were confronted by Brood , who said she was not insane , but had embraced the power of the dark side . Marek attempted to warn her off by saying that he did not want to hurt her , but she replied by saying he would not as her new pet would not allow it to happen . A fight broke out with Starkiller focusing his efforts on the large Bull Rancor . He ultimately defeated the large beast through the use of the Force and sent it crashing into the ground , where it sunk and fell into an underground chamber . The Duel . Now alone , the two Force users battled one another over the senator . Maris Brood proved to be quite vicious in her attempts to kill the young Sith apprentice . As part of her efforts to kill Starkiller , she threw one of her lightsabers , but Starkiller caught it and used it against her . Furthermore , with no allies to aid her , she was forced to use her Force cloak abilities to hide her from Starkiller , but this resulted in her being struck by lightning . Defeated , Maris begged Starkiller to spare her life , as she said she was beaten with their being no need to kill her . She furthermore stated that it was not her fault , as she had been driven mad by being abandoned by Shaak Ti on Felucia . Galen allowed her to escape and she hurried into the forests of the planet . Upon freeing the senator , Organa said that Maris reminded him of another Jedi who had fallen to the dark side , and that Galen should not have let her escape . However , Marek replied by saying that she would never be free , as she would be haunted by the memories of her actions on Felucia . Aftermath . With Organa saved , Starkiller took him to the " Rogue Shadow " where they discussed plans for a rebellion against the Empire . Organa and Master Kota were discussing Maris ' actions , with Organa saying she was driven to the dark side due to Master Shaak Ti being killed at the hands of Darth Vader or one of his assassins . Kota claimed that it may have been the same who blinded him above Nar Shaddaa . Thinking of Kazdan Paratus , Kota quickly said he received no communications or word of him . However , Organa was not convinced as open rebellion was too dangerous , and stated that they needed a sign to show that the Empire was weak . Galen said he would meditate on the matter and inform them of his next decision , but for that , he would require Vader ' s counsel for his next target . Behind the scenes . The firefight that Starkiller encounters upon his arrival depends on each version . In the PS3 / X - box360 version , Starkiller encounters Felucians and Imperial troops .
