Assault on the New Jedi Temple The assault on the New Jedi Temple was a military operation performed by the New Jedi Order and Galactic Alliance marines in the year 44 ABY . The Jedi Order , led by Grand Master Luke Skywalker , and a group of Alliance marines loyal to Admiral Nek Bwua ' tu infiltrated the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and attempted to eliminate the Lost Tribe of Sith who had retreated into the Temple in response to the Order ' s elimination of almost a thousand Sith on Coruscant . Prelude . In response to the Jedi ' s recent assassination of over a thousand disguised members of the Lost Tribe , the Sith at the order of Abeloth pulled all of their forces back into the Temple following the advice of captive Wynn Dorvan , who was attempting to minimize the collateral damage of the coming battle and to give the Jedi an advantage . The assault . The first stage of the assault was a coordinated infiltration of the Temple through secret passages by groups of Jedi . Their primary objectives were to seize control of the computer systems and deactivate the shield generators , which would enable Admiral Nek Bwua ' tu ' s Void Jumper s to storm the Temple and drive out the Sith with the help of the Jedi . During the next week the Jedi strike team struggled to reach their destination and accomplish their goal . Finally after days of eluding Sith ambushes Grand Master Luke Skywalker , Jedi Master Corran Horn and Jedi Knight Jaina Solo were able to destroy a shield generator . All three of them were worn out and drawing on the Force for support ; Jaina was in fact experiencing Force euphoria . As the most severely wounded , Solo volunteered to act as a human shield for the others in their retreat . Luke Skywalker recognized this sense of selfless sacrifice as Jedi Master material and promoted her then and there . They succeeded in escaping the Temple and immediately received medical care . Skirmish in the loading bay . During the assault , Captain Han Solo , his wife , Leia Organa Solo , their granddaughter , Allana Solo , and the Jedi Knight Bazel Warv attempted to warn a group of Barabel Knights who had nested in the Temple of a vision Allana had of their nest coming under attack . However , they were intercepted by a group of Sith under High Lord Sashal , who had been chasing down Vestara Khai . They attacked the Solos and the " Millennium Falcon " , as Khai had just revealed that a prophesied Jedi queen for whom the Sith had been searching was actually Allana Solo . The Sith were defeated , but Warv was killed and the Solos successfully warned the Barabels of Allana ' s vision . The hunt for Abeloth . The initial attempts to lower the Temple ' s defenses to allow for the marines to enter the Temple failed , but the Jedi finally succeeded in taking out the Temple ' s shield generators . Jedi Masters Corran Horn and Jaina Solo were pulled from their bacta tanks early , for a meeting of the Jedi High Council ( New Jedi Order ) . Though it should be noted that Grand Master Luke Skywalker extracted himself early . It was during this time Abeloth took Ben Skywalker and Vestara Khai back to her planet so they could recreate The Ones . Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his niece Jedi Master Jaina Solo went after them . On their way to Abeloth ' s planet , Ship Sith Meditation Sphere ambushed them , so Luke went back buckled up and went Beyond shadows where he fought along side Darth Krayt , to destroy Abeloth Force body while Ben and Vestara killed the body of Lady Korelei . Jedi Master Saba Sebatyne , accompanied by Jedi Knight Tahiri Veila and a squad of the elite marines unit known as the Void Jumper s , landed in the Temple loading bay and continued into the Temple , while the Solos and the Barabel hatchlings they had rescued were evacuated aboard the former Imperial Head of State Jagged Fel ' s shuttle the Parting Gift . At this point , the Jedi had learned from Wynn Dorvan that Abeloth had transferred part of her consciousness from her avatar Rokari Kem to the Temple ' s computer core , using the technique she learned when the entity absorbed the former Jedi Knight Callista Ming . Jedi Master Saba Sebatyne killed her last avatar within the Jedi Temple . Aftermath . The Battle of Coruscant would last for several weeks after the assault ended , as the remaining Sith who had fled the Temple were hunted down . Three months after the assault and the death of Abeloth , Grand Master Skywalker would awake from the healing trance he had been in since the duel with Abeloth . Where he learned that Abeloth had created lava flows killing billions , possibly trillions . At his decision , the Jedi Order would once again leave Coruscant , as many were blaming the Jedi for the recent destruction , and it would lessen the possibility of another attack on the capital . They would retreat to the planet Shedu Maad in the Hapes Consortium , site of a Jedi base since the Second Galactic Civil War . Jagged Fel and Jedi Master Jaina Solo would also marry not long after aboard on the " Dragon Queen II " , the flagship of Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo . Tenel Ka and the Solos also decided that Allana Solo was ready to be revealed as the Chume ' da , and she attended the ceremony under her true name .
