Ambush on Daluuj In 137 ABY , five members of the One Sith ambushed a gathering of four Jedi on the planet Daluuj . The Jedi Order had been scattered throughout the galaxy following the devastation of their ranks by the Sith seven years prior , and the Sith Lord Darth Krayt ' s Galactic Empire had been hunting down survivors in the time since . Jedi Master Wolf Sazen believed that his wayward former Padawan , Cade Skywalker — heir to the legacy of the legendary Skywalker family — was the only one who could lead a unified Jedi resistance against the Sith , and he accordingly arranged to meet with three other Jedi on Daluuj in order to request their help in locating Skywalker . Sazen , Master Ahn Rasi Tuum , Jedi Knight Shado Vao , and a female Human Jedi gathered on a bridge on Daluuj ' s surface , where Sazen outlined his beliefs to his colleagues , all the while unaware that a group of Sith was watching them from the shadows . The Sith soon attacked and quickly killed both Tuum and the Human female , but Sazen and Vao fought back . Lightsaber strikes , telekinesis , and firm kicks allowed them to slay all five of their opponents . The attack prompted Vao to admit that he no longer wished to hide from the Sith , and he thus agreed to join in Sazen ' s quest to locate Skywalker . The two left the scene to begin their hunt and soon after found their quarry on the planet Vendaxa . Prelude . In 130 ABY , the Galactic Empire and its Sith allies staged a two - front attack on the Jedi Order , laying siege to the Jedi Temples on the planets Coruscant and Ossus . The Human Jedi Master Kol Skywalker was among the many Jedi killed , and his son Cade was also believed to have perished . However , Cade ' s Master — the Zabrak Wolf Sazen — was skeptical , having not felt the younger Skywalker ' s death in the Force . As he fled from Ossus in a shuttle , Sazen vowed to track his Padawan down . Shortly thereafter , the Sith Lord Darth Krayt seized control of the galaxy , and his new Empire spent seven years actively hunting down surviving Jedi . Scattered throughout the galaxy , the Jedi Order was unable to mount a unified resistance . After receiving a Force vision , Sazen believed that Cade Skywalker — a member of the legendary Skywalker family — was the only person under whom the Jedi could rally together to oppose the Sith . In 137 ABY , as the Second Imperial Civil War raged across the galaxy , Sazen listened to the Force and concluded that the time was right to gather Jedi together and begin searching for his former pupil . The ambush . Sazen was able to locate two Jedi : a Human female and the Twi ' lek Shado Vao , both of whom he arranged to meet with on the planet Daluuj . Vao in turn contacted the Cathar Master Ahn Rasi Tuum , who also agreed to attend the gathering . When Sazen arrived at the rendezvous point — a bridge lined with the severed heads of droids mounted on spears — he found his three brethren waiting for him . Unbeknownst to any of them , the Jedi had been tracked to the bridge by a group of Sith , who observed their meeting from the shadows . With Sazen now present , Vao surmised that the Zabrak wished to begin hunting for Skywalker , and Tuum voiced his belief that Sazen ' s former Padawan was dead . Sazen remained firm that Skywalker was alive and explained why he felt that searching for the young Human was necessary . At that moment , the Sith announced their presence by throwing a spear through Tuum ' s chest , which killed the Cathar and sent him tumbling off of the bridge . The three remaining Jedi ignited their lightsabers as five Sith leapt into view . Blades clashed as a duel erupted , and a Human Sith warrior cut down the Human Jedi before kicking her off of the bridge . Despite the loss of their comrades , Sazen and Vao were able to kill all five of their opponents via their weapons , well - placed kicks , and exertions of telekinesis . The last two to fall were a Rodian and an Aqualish , who were decapitated by Sazen and bisected at the waist by Vao , respectively . With their foes vanquished , Vao admitted that he was tired of hiding from the Sith and that he wished to become a hunter . He pledged himself to Sazen ' s quest , and the two walked away from the battlefield to begin searching for Skywalker . Aftermath . Not long afterward , Vao received an emergency holocomm message from his sister Astraal . The holocomm signal she used was one they had developed as children to be broadcast whenever one of them was in danger , in which case they would meet on the planet Vendaxa . Sazen and Vao made their way to the pre - arranged meeting site on Vendaxa ' s surface , where they found Astraal and her friend Marasiah Fel on the run from Sith agents and in the company of the crew of the pirate vessel " Mynock " . The ship was captained by none other than Skywalker , who had rejected his Jedi legacy and turned to a life of bounty hunting after the death of his father . Although he was unswayed by appeals that Sazen made to his past , he did pick up a lightsaber and join in a fight against the Sith agents who had pursued Fel and Astraal to Vendaxa .
