Battle of Coruscant ( Second Imperial Civil War ) The Battle of Coruscant was the final battle of the Second Imperial Civil War . It pitted the remaining forces of an alliance consisting of the Empire - in - exile , led by deposed Emperor Roan Fel , the Galactic Alliance Remnant , under Admiral Gar Stazi and the remnants of the New Jedi Order against the armies of Darth Krayt , and his Sith Empire . Details . Following the defeat at Taivas and their encounter with Darth Krayt ' s elite Sith troopers , Roan Fel decided to take up Darth Maladi ' s offer to produce the deadly Omega Red and deploy it on Coruscant , the capital of the Sith Empire . Fel then convinced the allied groups to attack Coruscant before the Sith could recover . A mixed strike team was ferried to Coruscant on Cade Skywalker ' s " Helot " - class medium space transport " Mynock " . It consisted of Skywalker , Deliah Blue , Jariah Syn , Wolf Sazen , Shado Vao , Rasi Tuum , Skywalker ' s mother , and former Director of Imperial Intelligence Morrigan Corde , and the Imperial Knight s Azlyn Rae , Sigel Dare , and Ganner Krieg . The team disabled the planetary defenses so that the strike force could penetrate Coruscant ' s atmosphere . The allied fleet entered the system and engaged with Sith Annihilator - class starfighter s . Rogue Squadron and Skull Squadron went to the surface for their own bombing run while the Jedi Twin Suns Squadron stayed in space . As the battle raged on , the strike reached the Sith Temple using the secret routes known by Cade and Shado . However , they were intercepted by a party of Sith led by Krayt ' s lieutenants Darth Talon and Darth Stryfe . As they converged , the two groups immediately engaged in battle . Sigel Dare was stabbed while Skywalker fought Darth Talon and defeated her . Wolf Sazen engaged Darth Stryfe in a quick fight that ended with each of their deaths , resulting in Sazen becoming one with the Force . Vao then told Skywalker to pursue Krayt while they held off the Sith . Darth Talon , realizing how powerful Skywalker had become , fled to warn Krayt and Skywalker pursued her . While the battle on Coruscant proceeded thus , the battle in space was not faring as well , despite the use of battle meditation from K ' Kruhk and other senior Jedi . The " Fist of the Empire " was lost to the attacks by " Annihilator " - class starfighters . When the ship fell , Roan Fel and Antares Draco went to Maladi to receive Omega Red from her . After they departed , she proclaimed her loyalty to Lord Krayt and escaped from her prison . Fall of Emperors . Darth Nihl was updating Darth Krayt on the status of the battle and claimed that despite the loss of their defensive grid , the Annihilators were turning the tide of the battle in their favor . At that moment , a seriously injured Darth Talon arrived to warn Krayt that Skywalker was arriving . After alerting Krayt , she was violently Force pushed against the wall and was knocked out as Skywalker came out of the shadows with his lightsaber ignited . Krayt Force - pushed him away reminding him that last time they had fought , he had ran , plus Krayt was so much more powerful than that last time and that Cade should surrender . Skywalker reminded Krayt that Darth Talon and him had taught him many things and that he made things up as he went along . Krayt said it did not matter and that he and his allies were going to lose the battle before attacking him with Force lightning . As the duo fought , Krayt taunted Cade by telling him that his unique healing powers were the reason he had survived , saying that Cade had shown him it , but Karness Muur had showed him how to use and control it . Krayt proceeded to use Cade ' s own power against him , forcing him to undergo the same process he ' d gone through . When Krayt had finished , he believed that Cade had finally fallen to the dark side , and called him his apprentice . Cade rose and declared that he finally saw what his path was . But instead of declaring himself a Sith , Cade used Krayt ' s ignorance to his advantage by quickly reclaiming his lightsaber and spearing the Dark Lord in the chest , declaring that he was a Jedi once again . This time , having been dealt a mortal blow before he could use Cade ' s unique powers , Darth Krayt was truly dead . Meanwhile , aboard the " Jagged Fel " , Roan Fel attempted to launch Omega Red at Coruscant , unaware that it would kill all life except the intended Sith , who were immune to it . Marasiah and Treis Sinde objected , and Fel Force - pushed both his daughter and old friend into a wall . Marasiah , too weak to stop her father , begged Draco to do so . Fel declared that Draco had proven that his loyalty was completely to him , but Draco , due to his recent experiences , had finally realized that his loyalty was first and foremost to the Force , instead of the emperor . When Draco declared his loyalties , and reminded Fel that his oath required him to kill the emperor if he couldn ' t turn him back to the light side , both master and student drew their lightsabers and engaged each other . Draco pleaded with Fel to trust in the Force and allow it to finish Krayt . But Fel claimed that their allies were useless and that he needed to enforce his own will on the Galaxy . Soon after , Draco felt Krayt ' s death at Skywalker ' s hands , but Fel refused to back down . Fel punched Draco in the face and went to launch Omega Red , but Draco returned and , realizing he needed to stop Fel in time , stabbed the emperor in the back , killing him . With Darth Krayt ' s demise , his Sith troopers became crazed since they were no longer connected to his will . Darth Nihl took power as leader of the One Sith and began by ordering all Sith Troopers wiped out . Afterwards , he ordered the Sith to evacuate both Coruscant and Korriban since he knew the war was now lost . Aftermath . Despite the fact that Krayt was dead , Cade didn ' t want to repeat his mistake at Had Abbadon . He took Krayt ' s body and flew it into Coruscant ' s sun . Cade had originally planned to fly the ship in himself because he didn ' t want to risk the possibility that Krayt ' s spirit would take his body over , but Luke Skywalker appeared to him to talk him out doing so . Luke told his descendant that Krayt was truly finished and that Cade , despite his vision indicating he would die fighting Krayt , was still alive . Cade decided to take his ancestor ' s advice and eject from the ship before it hit the sun . Krayt ' s body was destroyed , and Cade saw that Krayt ' s spirit was gone as well . After being picked up by his friends , Cade said he was finally free to live his life the way he was supposed to . Meanwhile , the allied forces staged a funeral for Roan Fel , with the witnesses to his demise leaving out the details of his fall to the dark side . The allies also established the Galactic Federation Triumvirate , which united much of the known galaxy . Nihl pulled all the remaining Sith back and told them to prepare to infiltrate every planetary government in order to strike from the shadows . Behind the scenes .
