Mission to Nal Hutta / Legends In 20 BBY during the Clone Wars , the Sith Lord Darth Maul formed a criminal organization called the Shadow Collective and he wished to secure a partnership with the Hutt Grand Council on Nal Hutta , in addition to his Black Sun and Death Watch allies . Prelude . While traveling through the galaxy , members of the radical Mandalorian splinter - faction known as the Death Watch came across a derelict escape pod drifting above the planet Florrum . Upon boarding the craft , Death Watch discovered the unconscious bodies of the Sith Lord Darth Maul and his apprentice Savage Opress ; at the word of the group ' s leader , Pre Vizsla , the two Zabraks were brought aboard one of Death Watch ' s " Kom ' rk " - class fighters — Vizsla ' s personal vessel , " Gauntlet " — and taken back to the Death Watch ' s encampment on the swamp - covered moon , Zanbar . There , Death Watch attended to the Sith ' s injuries before Vizsla invited Darth Maul to talk , during which the two found they had a mutual enemy in the form of the Jedi Order , with Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi equally despised by both men . Upon that shared animosity , Maul and Vizsla founded an alliance in pursuit of mutual benefit : the Sith would aid Death Watch in deposing Duchess Satine Kryze of the New Mandalorians , while Death Watch would assist the Sith in their plans to punish Kenobi for his actions against Maul a decade prior . Together , Death Watch and the Sith set out to assemble an army of followers , beginning their search at a fortress on Mustafar belonging to the leaders of a branch of the Black Sun crime syndicate . Negotiations with the syndicate branch ' s Falleen leaders were quick to sour , leading Savage Opress to kill them while Maul recruited the organization ' s Captain of the Guard , Ziton Moj , who authorized an alliance in the fallen leaders ' stead . Back on Zanbar , with freshly gained supplies and a battalion of Black Sun foot soldier s in tow , Pre Vizsla and Maul were approached by Lom Pyke , leader of a Coruscanti spice - dealing Pyke Syndicate . Having caught word of Maul ' s intentions to raise a force of criminals , the Pykes moved to willingly join the growing assembly , and were readily welcomed by Death Watch and the Sith . With their newest allies , Death Watch set out for Nal Hutta with a small attack force was comprised of three " Kom ' rk " - class starfighters loaded with squads of Death Watch foot soldiers and three " Sarisa " - class gunships headed toward Nal Hutta and landed at the Hutt Council Chamber . The mission . On Nal Hutta , Maul attempted to appeal to the Hutt Grand Council , through Jabba Desilijic Tiure , Gorga Desilijic Aarrpo , Arok and Oruba . Jabba stated that he would ally with him if he was presented with credits , but Maul said he had none . Oruba asked if they had anything to trade , and Maul stated it was their lives for Hutt Space and all they possessed . Jabba then summoned his bounty hunters to face the three , and he had one of his bounty hunters , Sugi , hurl a knife at Maul ' s head . Before it could reach its target , Opress halted it and the knife went hurling back to the feet of the anooba , Marrok . Jabba then had his bounty hunters eliminate the two Sith Lords and Vizsla . The two Sith deflected shots as some Nikto and Twi ' lek guards ran to the Hutts ' aid from a side door . Savage cut one down , and threw two more at the bounty hunters . Vizla shot the last two Nikto guards , then used a flamethrower to help cover their retreat . By the time the flames had fanned , the Sith and Vizsla had a head start on their escape . Soon after the retreat , they made their way to a landing platform where Bo - Katan and the rest of the Death Watch lay in wait for them . After making known their presence by firing rockets into the Hutt guards ' lines , they chased the surviving ones back into the palace , while the leaders followed , much slower , behind . After all of the Death Watch members were away chasing after the Nikto guards , Sugi leapt from the ceiling and managed to knock down Maul . Before he could move in , she kicked Vizsla away . Maul used his lightsaber to slash at Sugi , only for her to roll away from each strike . He was soon attacked by the anooba , Marrok , and was forced to the ground . He managed to ward it off him , and then flew Sugi across the room . Opress briefly skirmished with Embo , showing a display of unarmed combat . Eventually , Opress punched Embo ' s hat , which sent him hurling across the room . Vizsla , meanwhile , recovered from Sugi ' s kick and pulled out used his darksaber at the sight of retreating Nikto guards . With the darksaber , he cut a swath through them all . Their attempts at escape failed , and they all perished . Smoke pellets then disorientated the three , as the bounty hunters fled . Maul stated simply to leave them as bounty hunters like them had no affiliations with anyone . Aftermath . Almost all the Nikto guards were killed . Though the mission ended as a failure , Oruba was captured by Bo - Katan and her soldiers . Oruba stated he knew not of where his allies were hiding . Maul then ordered for Opress to kill him as the elder Hutt proved useless to them , but Oruba stated that his allies were holed up in Jabba ' s palace on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine . Still , Maul had Opress kill Oruba . They then set course for Tatooine .
