He was trained in the ways of the dark side of the Force with the Lost Tribe of Sith — descendants of a group of Sith who had been stranded on the planet during the days of the Sith Empire — and achieved the rank of Sith Saber . In 41 ABY , Ship , a Sith Meditation Sphere , arrived on the planet and began to help the Tribe form an armada . Two years later , the Tribe felt Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker ' s presence in the Force after he touched an Aing - Tii relic , the Codex . Shortly after , Ship abruptly left Kesh , following a call through the Force . Walusari was then chosen by Grand Lord Darish Vol and Lady Olaris Rhea to be a member of the strike team whose mission was to recover Ship and eliminate Skywalker . The strike team , led by Rhea , operated aboard the warship " Eternal Crusader " . They tracked Ship to a planet in the Maw , and Rhea led a search party down to the surface , leaving the " Eternal Crusader " in orbit . However , rather than leaving it under the command of her executive officer , Sith Master Yuvar Xal , Rhea left Walusari in charge of the vessel , as she trusted the Sith Saber more than Xal . As the Sith searched vainly for Ship , Walusari attempted to find the Meditation Sphere using the " Eternal Crusader " sensors . The search party suffered several fatalities from the planet ' s deadly plant - life , but they soon made contact with Abeloth , a being who was able to control the planet ' s flora and fauna . She agreed to help the Sith , although it was actually her call that had drawn Ship there , and her will that was preventing Ship from returning to the Sith . Rhea finally decided that they should simply leave and go on to the task of eliminating Skywalker , but Walusari suddenly got a sensor lock on Ship . The search party resumed the hunt for the Meditation Sphere , but the chase continued with no success . Several shuttles from the " Eternal Crusader " brought down more and more of the crew , including Walusari , until there was no one left aboard the warship . Abeloth , however , had recently discovered that Skywalker and his son , Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker , were at Sinkhole Station , a space station in the Maw . She finally allowed Ship to return to the Tribe , and the Meditation Sphere transported the surviving Sith to Sinkhole Station . Death . Rhea ordered Walusari , along with Rhea ' s apprentice , Vestara Khai , to keep a watch on Xal and his apprentice , Ahri Raas , as she expected them to attempt to betray her during the battle . Walusari , along with Khai , Xal , and Raas , hid behind the hatches at a junction chamber that the Skywalkers would have to pass in order to reach their ship , the " Jade Shadow " , in the station ' s hangar . After the Jedi escaped the first confrontation , Rhea commed the four Sith to tell them that the Skywalkers were heading their way . Seeing their targets approach with lightsabers and blasters in hand , Khai and Walusari opened their hatches and each tossed a pair of grenades at the Jedi . Xal chose this moment to initiate his coup , and he and Raas pushed the explosives back into Khai ' s and Walusari ' s hatches before throwing their own stun grenade s at the Skywalkers . Rhea had anticipated this move , however , and had provided Walusari and Khai with false grenades to throw first . Meanwhile , Ben Skywalker — who had escaped the effects of the stun grenades — pretended to be incapacitated by the blast . Raas moved forward to apprehend him but was distracted by Xal ' s cry of pain and surprise as the Sith Master was killed by Khai ' s shikkar , and the Jedi quickly killed Raas . Walusari was the next to act , throwing a pair of fragmentation grenade s at the Jedi , but the younger Skywalker pushed the grenades back into his hatch and shut the hatch down on his arm . Unable to escape in time , Walusari was killed by the grenades . Personality and traits .
