Lost Tribe of Sith strike team This strike team was handpicked by the Lost Tribe of Sith Grand Lord Darish Vol and Lady Olaris Rhea to track Ship , a Sith Meditation Sphere , and hunt down Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker . History . In 43 . 5 ABY , members of the Lost Tribe of Sith , including Lady Olaris Rhea , sensed a great presence in the Force . The Tribe learned from Ship that the presence belonged to Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker , and , realizing that this Jedi stood between them and their proposed reconquest of the galaxy in the name of the Sith Empire , Rhea and Grand Lord Darish Vol decided to assemble a team to hunt down and kill Skywalker . Ship , a Sith Meditation Sphere that had helped the Tribe to create a new armada , abruptly left Kesh , however , and the team ' s objective was changed to recovering the Sith Meditation Sphere , with killing Skywalker coming second . Finding Ship . The strike team tracked Ship to a planet in the Maw , where they met with a woman named Abeloth . Abeloth claimed to have been stranded on the planet for the last three decades , but in reality she was a powerful being who had gained control of both Ship and the planet she resided on . After nearly drowning , Sith apprentice Vestara Khai was told Abeloth ' s true nature by Ship , but when she told the other members of the team , they didn ' t believe her . Meanwhile , Abeloth used the flora and fauna of the planet to kill many of the Sith . After she discovered that Skywalker was beyond shadows in the Maw with his son , Ben Skywalker , Abeloth allowed them to leave , under the condition that they captured the Skywalkers , rather than kill them . Rhea , however , did not believe that Vol would approve of this , and changed the objective back to kill . Attacking the Skywalkers . The Sith found the Grand Master and his son on Sinkhole Station , a space station in the Maw that was the home of the Mind Walkers . The team ambushed the Skywalkers , but the Jedi fought them off and escaped farther into the station , covering their retreat with azetal gas . Meanwhile , Master Yuvar Xal , his apprentice Ahri Raas , Rhea ' s apprentice Vestara Khai , and Sith Saber Baad Walusari planned to ambush the Jedi with stun grenade s at a junction in the Station . Xal , however , planned to take control of the strike team , and when the Jedi arrived on the scene , he and his apprentice attempted to kill Khai and Walusari by throwing their own grenades back at them . Rhea had expected such a move , however , and had ordered Khai and Walusari to first throw fake grenades . Angered by the betrayal , Vestara killed Xal , and Raas , distracted by his Master ' s cry of pain and surprise , was killed by one of the Skywalkers . The Jedi then killed Walusari and Luke allowed Khai to strike him with her parang in order to establish a Blood trail on her . He then knocked her out and took her hostage . As the Jedi made their way toward the hangar in an attempt to get to their ship , however , they were ambushed by more Sith . During the ensuing skirmish Khai reawakened and managed to escape from them , but they defeated the remaining Sith and escaped to the hangar , where Ben prepared their ship for takeoff . Meanwhile , Luke reentered the Station , where he confronted the last four survivng members of the strike team . The two surviving males were quickly killed , leaving just Rhea and Khai alive . They dueled with him in the turbolift leading to the hangar . Meanwhile , Ben opened fire on Ship , distracting the two Sith , and allowing Luke to kill Rhea . Khai , the last survivng member of the team , saluted Skywalker and fled . She traveled to Dathomir , with the Skywalkers tracking her using the Blood trail . Organization . The strike team was led by Circle of Lords member Lady Olaris Rhea , who commanded the " Eternal Crusader " . Sith Master Yuvar Xal served as the second - in - command as her executive officer , although she left the ship under the command of Walusari during the search for Ship on Abeloth ' s planet , as she trusted the Sith Saber more than Xal .
