Second Battle of Zonama Sekot The Second Battle of Zonama Sekot was a battle in 29 BBY which took place at Zonama Sekot , a " living planet " located within the Gardaji Rift of the Outer Rim Territories . Background . Prior to the battle , Zonama Sekot had produced strange organic ships which could travel faster than most other starships in the galaxy . The Jedi Order was determined to investigate the origins of these vessels and were also seeking the whereabouts of the Jedi Knight Vergere , who had gone missing while on a mission to the planet a year before . Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker were dispatched to investigate . At the same time , a task force led by Raith Sienar and Blood Carver Ke Daiv were also dispatched to the planet at the compulsory behest of Wilhuff Tarkin , then a political leader of Eriadu and commander of the Republic Outland Regions Security Force . Tarkin sought , in his siezure of the mysterious " living starship " - producing world , political and economic advantages via recognition by the galaxy ' s rising powers . When Obi - Wan Kenobi and his Padawan arrived at the planet , they succeeded in getting an organic starship crafted , which they named " Jabitha " . They also discovered that Vergere had been taken by a mysterious alien species from the Unknown Regions known as the Far Outsiders — actually the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong . Meanwhile , Raith Sienar ' s squadron arrived and dispatched Ke Daiv to secure a highly coveted Sekotan starship . Unfortunately , Daiv was rejected by the seed - partners , the necessary sentient basis for the starship ' s construction . Soon after the news of this rejection had been received , Tarkin ' s forces converged upon Sienar ' s , as both the Security Force commander and the famous ship designer , mistrusting one another ' s motives , had double - crossed the other , which ultimately triggered detection of their presence by Sekot herself . Together they felt compelled , then , to unleash their forces on the living world . The battle . Tarkin ' s fleet included two Trade Federation cargo hauler s and ten light cruisers which served as escorts for the Galactic Republic ' s " Dreadnaught " - class heavy cruisers . Swarms of Vulture droids and sky - mines were unleashed on the peaceful world and its settlers . In response , the living world dispatched Zonama Sekotan fighter s , though they were outnumbered . During the battle , Anakin and Jabitha Hal — the Sekotan Magister ' s daughter — were captured by Tarkin ' s forces , which intercepted the " Jabitha " . However , Obi - Wan and Anakin managed to escape in their seedship , though it was wounded by enemy fire . In the end , Zonama Sekot left the sector of battle and , using its massive hyperdrive system , escaped into the Unknown Regions . The attacking forces were left severely crippled . Aftermath . Obi - Wan and Anakin flew the " Jabitha " to the planet Seline , where the living ship died from her wounds . In fact , " all " Sekotan ships throughout the galaxy , as a result of losing contact with Zonama Sekot , also died . Kenobi and Skywalker ' s next mission was to the planet Kodai , in which they sought to recover the ancient Sith holocron of King Adas .
