As the Clone Wars scorched on in the galaxy , Pre Vizsla and Katan found an escape pod containing the two Sith Force - sensitive Zabrak brothers known as Darth Maul and Savage Opress who were knocked out after the Skirmish on Florrum . Vizsla and Katan later brought the brothers back to their camp on Zanbar for repairs . Once Maul had awaken , he showed aggression to the Death Watch members when Katan threatened him by pointing her blaster towards Savage if he tried anything to harm them . The brother and Vizsla later gradually introduced each other then later swapped stories on how they came to where they are . Both Death Watch and the brothers later found that they had a common enemy in Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi . Vizsla invited Maul for a tea in his tent , where he told Maul the plans of taking over Mandalore . When Maul said it was will of the the Force which made them meet , Katan pointed out her scepticism in allying with the Sith , saying that the Sith brothers are no better than Count Dooku , who once betrayed them . She also said that the brothers are weak , as they were " put together " by the Death Watch after Kenobi defeated them on Florrum . Maul got angry on hearing it , and started choking Katan , saying that they will defeat all the pacifist Mandalorians , Dooku and all other common enemies . After it , he released Katan , who smirked at Vizsla . The Sith brothers later aligned themselves to Death Watch to help them liberate Mandalore from Satine Kryze . Mission to Mustafar . After pointing out that the Death Watch warriors were not yet ready to takeover Mandalore , Maul suggested enlisting the help of the Black Sun who were located at Mustafar to begin creating an army .

After negotiations have failed , bounty hunters pursued the brothers and Vizsla outside where Bo - Katan and her Nite Owls were awaiting the return of them . While Katan and her warriors fought on The Hutt guards , Maul , Vizsla and Savage faced off Sugi and Embo . After the fight had cleared up , the bounty hunters managed to get away safely with minor injuries . The Death Watch warriors were then able to capture a member of the Hutt Council who was left behind known as Oruba . He was later killed after telling them that the rest left for Tatooine . Mission to Tatooine . Shortly after learning that the Hutts have fled to Jabba ' s Palace on Tatooine , the Brothers and Death Watch launched a small attack to give Jabba a last chance to join them . After briefly seeing what the Shadow Collective was capable of and how they performed in action , the Hutts agreed to join them . However , outside the castle Vizsla told Katan to be aware , as they are going to take over Mandalore and they would finish with Maul and Opress . Takeover of Sundari . After the Shadow Collective was at its full potential , Maul and Death Watch advised a plan to turn the people of Mandalore to Pre Vizsla that instructed the crime gangsters to attack several locations around the New Mandalorian capital city of Sundari , including the shipping docks and the Mandalore Banking Center . Then , Death Watch would come in and stop the vile thugs and claim Mandalore for themselves in order to gain the trust of the people .

After Death Watch took control of Sundari , they found no more use for Maul and Savage and imprisoned them , with Katan wearing Maul ' s lightsaber on her belt . After escaping from the Sundari prison , Maul challenged Vizsla to a duel to the death , which Maul won by subduing and beheading Vizsla with his own weapon , the Darksaber .

Unfortunately , Satine was soon recaptured , and it was revealed that Maul allowed her to escape so that she would contact Obi - Wan Kenobi for help . As Mandalore was a neutral planet , the Jedi Order had no jurisdiction so he would be forced to come alone . Bo - Katan watched as Kenobi arrived and rescued Satine from prison yet again , only to be stopped and captured along with her . After Maul killed Satine , she rescued Kenobi as he was being taken to prison , and they and the Nite Owls fought their way to a Kom ' rk - class fighter / transport . Bo - Katan told Kenobi to go to the Republic for help , because , with the Sith involved , it was now a Republic matter .

Her loyalty was shown after the takeover of Sundari , when Vizsla was killed by Maul , she collected the still - loyal members of Death Watch , and joined forces with Obi - Wan Kenobi , in order to gain back what was taken away by the Sith brothers . Despite being on opposing sides , Katan apparently still loved her sister Satine , and showed sadness when Kenobi expressed his condolences at her death . She believed that the Sith and Jedi were equally bad and that there was no difference between them , though this viewpoint may have changed when Obi - Wan Kenobi sided with her . Bo - Katan was also able to withstand heavy physical punishment , as shown when she was choked for half a minute by Darth Maul , but when released , she just smirked at Vizsla , after she told Maul straight what she thought about the Sith in general , also showing her plain - spoken personality .
