Tendrando Arms Celebrity Sabacc Charity Challenge The Tendrando Arms Celebrity Sabacc Charity Challenge was hosted in 44 ABY by Booster Terrik on the " Errant Venture " . The invitations were passed out by Lando Calrissian to 100 of the most influential politicians on Coruscant , as part of a plot to help the Jedi launch their StealthX s safely . As soon as the politicians were aboard the " Errant Venture " , Terrik had their security teams incapacitated by coma gas , and then he opened fire on orbital mirrors over Coruscant to distract the Galactic Alliance Sixth Fleet — the fleet could not return fire with the politicians on board , and the distraction allowed the StealthXs to launch successfully . The tournament continued as the " Errant Venture " traveled to Pydyr with the StealthXs , where the starfighters helped Luke and Ben Skywalker fight off the Sith . By that time , the tournament was down to its final table , with Chief of Staff Wynn Dorvan the favorite to win . Prelude . In 43 . 5 ABY , several Jedi began to fall prey to a Force psychosis , causing strained relations between the New Jedi Order and the Galactic Alliance government . Meanwhile , exiled Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his son , Ben , encountered a new Sith Tribe . The Jedi Order wanted to send a wing of StealthX s to assist the Skywalkers , but were unable to due to first a Mandalorian raid on the Jedi Temple , and later a siege of the Temple . When the siege was lifted in 44 ABY , the Jedi Council wanted to launch the StealthXs as quickly as possible , but interim Grand Master Kenth Hamner wanted the Jedi to wait — he had secretly made a deal with Alliance Admiral Nek Bwua ' tu to wait to launch the StealthXs until Bwua ' tu gave his word , in order to ensure the cooperation of the Alliance Navy with the Jedi strike team . However , an assassination attempt on Bwua ' tu left him in a coma , unable to help , and when the rest of the Council learned of Hamner ' s actions , they grew furious and relieved him of his duty , determined to launch the StealthXs . Meanwhile , Lando Calrissian and Jaina Solo had returned to Coruscant with news of the Sith Tribe building a war fleet , and the Jedi decided that they needed to launch their StealthXs as soon as possible ; although they acknowledged that , with the Galactic Alliance Sixth Fleet in orbit , they would need to distract the fleet in order to launch safely . Calrissian thus passed out invitations to the first ever Tendrando Arms Celebrity Sabacc Charity Challenge , a sabacc charity event to be held for one hundred of the most influential politicians on Coruscant — including Senators Fost Bramsin and Haydnat Treen , General Merratt Jaxton , and Moff Drikl Lecersen . The entrance fee for the tournament was 1 , 000 , 000 , and the top prize was 50 , 000 , 000 . The tournament . The Jedi coordinated carefully with Booster Terrik , who agreed to hold the tournament in his Star Destroyer , the " Errant Venture " . Treen was running late to the event , but Galactic Alliance Chief of Staff Wynn Dorvan had heard about the tournament and showed interest , and as they were pressed for time , Terrik agreed to give him her chair . As the Jedi prepared to launch their StealthX wing , Terrik saw that the politicians ' security teams were incapacitated by coma gas , and the " Errant Venture " began to open fire on some of Coruscant ' s Orbital Mirrors . The Galactic Alliance could not strike back with one hundred important government figures aboard the vessel , and Terrik suggested that Dorvan — who was still on the bridge , send a message to Chief of State Natasi Daala , explaining the situation to her . He was reluctant , claiming that she did not negotiate for hostages , but eventually complied . Although Hamner attempted to prevent it , the StealthXs successfully launched and , thanks to the sabacc tournament , safely left Coruscant in the company of the " Errant Venture " . Despite the fact that Dorvan sat down to the table ten minutes late , he was successful in the tournament . As the " Errant Venture " traveled with the StealthXs to meet the Skywalkers on the moon Pydyr , the three - day tournament reached its final table . By the time of their arrival at Pydyr , Dorvan was the favorite to win the tournament and he won . The strike team also arrived in time to help rescue the Skywalkers from the Sith .
