Second Raid on Daiman ' s compound The Second Raid on Daiman ' s compound was a mission in 1032 BBY by the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt to rescue former Jedi Gorlan Palladane from Sith Lord Daiman ' s compound during the Chelloa campaign . History . Background . Following Operation Influx , Lord Daiman ordered an investigation to discover who supplied the Jedi Order and his rival Sith Lord Odion with intelligence on Chelloa ' s baradium mining operations . His soldiers captured the Rodian mechanic Skodo and discovered a transmitter which they substituted for one of Daiman ' s , hoping to catch any accomplices . He then had Skodo tortured to death with Force lightning . However , one of the Jedi survivors of the ill - fated Operation Influx — Kerra Holt — infiltrated Daiman ' s compound on the mountains above Jenith . She then dueled with him , imprisoning him in a force field . However , Daiman tricked her into going after Odion to reveal " intelligence " about his new mobile munitions complex es . Daiman intended to lure Odion down to Chelloa where he and his forces would be destroyed by the fake munitions complexes — actually world - destroying Kinetic corruptor s . Still angered by the fact that the Chelloan people had harbored a Jedi agent , he had the Chelloan leader Gorlan Palladane apprehended and tortured . Palladane had early been caught in a sting operation attempting to contact Odion with the substitute transmitter . In retaliation , Daiman ordered the destruction of the town of Jenith . During the massacre , Palladane ' s family was rescued by Kerra Holt who then proceeded to rescue Gorlan Palladane from Daimanate captivity . Infiltration . She hitch - hiked aboard a shuttle carrying the village leaders of the Chelloan mining towns , who had been summoned for an audience with Daiman . Upon landing at a docking hangar , Holt emerged from her hiding place near the engine consoles and killed the Daimanate Sith trooper s guarding the prisoners . Having freed the prisoners , she instructed them to move the transport to the outer wall . If Daiman returned , she instructed to leave without her and Palladane and to make for a safehouse in the town of Arboth . Dispatching several Corrector s , Holt made her way to Palladane ' s cell where she freed him from his manacles . A sorrowful and wounded Palladane confessed to contacting Odion , indirectly causing the deaths of Vannar Treece during the ill - fated Operation Influx . He explained that he and Skodo had used a transmitter to reactivated a single interstellar routing station . However , he was unaware that Odion had been tapping into the signals . He then explained he had only contacted Odion to dissuade the Sith Lord from returning to Chelloa . Seeing the good motives behind his actions , Holt comforted Palladane by telling him that he had done his best to protect his people . They then returned to the shuttle and departed Daiman ' s compound . He was not present at the hangar since he was inspecting his palace . Before she left , Holt realized that her primary mission from Treece was not to destroy the two Sith Lords but rather to evacuate the Chelloan people . As a final gesture of defiance to Daiman , she beheaded all his statues . When Daiman returned with more reinforcements , he ordered his troops to prepare for Odion ' s invasion and to coat his replacement statues with cortosis plating . Aftermath . Following the raid on Daiman ' s compound , his brother Odion launched a planetary invasion of Chelloa . Despite wiping out Daiman ' s token resistance , Odion quickly discovered that he and his forces had landed themselves into a trap . Daiman ' s vaunted factory carriers turned out to be kinetic corruptor s , large machines capable of generating destructive explosions . In the midst of the chaos , Kerra and Gorlan evacuated thousands of Chelloan civilians on the Freedom Fleet , a fleet of commandeered freighters . During the fighting , Odion was grievously wounded and vowed revenge against both Kerra and Daiman .
