Skirmish on The Wheel A skirmish took place both aboard and in the space outside of The Wheel space station in 137 ABY . Although fought between members of the Empire - in - exile and Galactic Alliance Remnant , it was engineered by agents of the One Sith and Darth Krayt ' s Galactic Empire , whose machinations served to disrupt a potential alliance between Empire - in - exile and Remnant forces . The skirmish came about due to a meeting aboard the station between Remnant Admiral Gar Stazi and Empire - in - exile Captain Mingo Bovark , who were discussing the idea of combining their organizations ' strength against Darth Krayt ' s forces in the ongoing Second Imperial Civil War . Sith – Imperial agents Jor Torlin and Morrigan Corde were concurrently on the station , hunting for the former Jedi Cade Skywalker , whom Krayt sought . After determining that Skywalker was no longer aboard , Torlin and Corde decided to disrupt the negotiations through sabotage . Using Command Override Limpet Droid s , Torlin remotely took control of a turbolaser aboard Bovark ' s shuttle and fired at the nearby Remnant shuttle . When news reached Stazi , he attacked Bovark with a vibro - shiv , while a lightfight erupted outside of their conference room between Stazi ' s bodyguards and Bovark ' s Imperial Knight protectors , Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg . Draco was able to rescue Bovark , but the Imperials ' escape was blocked by Wheel Administrator Pol Temm and the Wheel Security Force . Temm barred all of Fel ' s forces from the station , and the Empire - in - exile remained devoid of allies . Prelude . In the year 137 ABY , Darth Maladi of the One Sith assigned her agent Jor Torlin to find Cade Skywalker , a former Jedi whose healing powers were sought by Maladi ' s Master , Darth Krayt . Torlin tracked Skywalker to The Wheel , a space station in the Besh Gorgon system , as did Moff Nyna Calixte of Darth Krayt ' s Galactic Empire . Hoping to gain leverage over her Sith superiors , Calixte went to The Wheel disguised as her secret alter - ego , Imperial Agent Morrigan Corde . The year 137 ABY also saw Emperor Roan Fel of the Empire - in - exile retake the fortress world of Bastion from Krayt ' s forces . Fel had been making guerrilla strikes against Krayt ' s Empire for seven years in the ongoing Second Imperial Civil War , and he hoped to keep his capture of Bastion — which he believed would render him a more potent threat — a secret while he drew more strength to it . The news reached Krayt through members of the Sith – Imperial – loyal Imperial Mission , but Fel placed the blame on two of his Imperial Knight s , Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg . The two had departed Bastion to rescue Fel ' s daughter , Marasiah , from the clutches of the Sith , and Fel assumed that they had been tracked back to the fortress world . Believing that he now had a stalemate against Krayt ' s Empire , Fel sent Captain Mingo Bovark to propose an alliance to Admiral Gar Stazi of the Galactic Alliance Remnant — which also opposed Krayt ' s Empire — aboard The Wheel , which was well - known for its neutrality . Draco ' s and Krieg ' s punishment was to act as Bovark ' s bodyguards . The Knights and Stazi ' s three Galactic Alliance Intelligence officer s all contravened Wheel policy by smuggling weapons aboard , and both sets of guards waited outside of a conference room , where Bovark and Stazi negotiated . Elsewhere on The Wheel , Corde established contact with Torlin , and the two determined that Skywalker had already left the station . Corde had additionally learned of the meeting between Bovark and Stazi , and she suggested that they disrupt it before pursing their target any further . The skirmish . While planning aboard his personal ship , the " Raider " , Torlin proposed calling in the Imperial Navy , but his counterpart was insistent that they play on Bovark ' s and Stazi ' s mutual suspicions of each other rather than presenting a common enemy . Torlin accordingly produced six Command Override Limpet Droid s , devices that could adhere to the exterior of a starship and override its onboard computer . The Empire - in - exile ' s " Nune " - class Imperial shuttle was docked close to the Galactic Alliance Remnant ' s " Crix " - class diplomatic courier shuttle , and Torlin remotely directed the droids through space before attaching them to the Imperial ship , where they took control of a turbolaser battery . The Imperials aboard were unable to override , and Torlin blasted the Remnant shuttle , whose crew raised their shields and returned fire . The Imperials ' own shields went up as the two shuttles continued their salvos , and Stazi was informed of the situation via comlink . In the conference room , Stazi drew a vibro - shiv from his robes . Although the Captain frantically tried to convince the Admiral that a misunderstanding had occurred , Stazi ' s distrust of Imperials caused him to strike and draw blood from a slash at Bovark ' s side . The Alliance officers meanwhile initiated a lightfight in the hallway , and the Imperial Knights used their lightsabers to deflect their attackers ' blaster bolts . Krieg took up the defense single - handedly as Draco cut his way through the conference room door and telekinetically shoved Stazi into a wall with the Force before retrieving the injured Bovark . Bovark ' s wound was only skin - deep , but the Imperials ' escape was halted by Wheel Administrator Pol Temm and four members of the Wheel Security Force . Temm demanded that the Imperial Knights surrender their weapons , but Draco refused , adamant that the Captain be safely returned to his shuttle . The Administrator consequently barred all of Fel ' s forces from the station ; Draco suspected sabotage and vowed to find whomever was responsible . Aftermath . After Torlin ' s droids detached themselves from the Imperial shuttle , their circuits fused and they became space junk . He and Corde then departed The Wheel to search for Skywalker on the planet Ossus , location of the former Jedi Academy . Once on the jungle world ' s surface , Torlin attacked Corde out of mistrust and a conviction that he would be safer if she were dead . Only Corde survived the encounter . Later in the year , when Skywalker was captured by the Sith , Nyna Calixte pointed to " Morrigan Corde ' s " success in sabotaging the negotiations aboard The Wheel when convincing her co - conspirator , Grand Admiral Morlish Veed , that Corde should be the one to retrieve Skywalker from Krayt ' s clutches and give them the leverage they needed in their scheming against the Sith . Admiral Stazi remained distrustful of the Empire - in - exile until the Imperial Knights Treis Sinde and Sigel Dare risked their lives to rescue Alliance pilots held prisoner by the Sith – Imperials on the ocean planet Dac , and to personally warn him of explosives that they had planted on the Sith – Imperial Star Destroyer " Imperious " prior to his capture of it during a battle over the water world . Only then did the Admiral decide to resume negotiating an alliance with Fel against a common foe . Behind the scenes . The skirmish on The Wheel occurs in the of the " " comic series , which was written by John Ostrander , penciled by Colin Wilson , and released in March 2007 . The issue ' s cover art , done by Dave Ross , depicts the skirmish differently than what occurs within the comic ' s pages . In " Legacy 10 " , Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg battle Alliance bodyguards whose uniforms were later attributed to Galactic Alliance Intelligence officers in 2009 ' s " Legacy Era Campaign Guide " , whereas the cover art puts two of the guards in armor similar to that worn by Galactic Alliance Infantry Trooper s in the " Campaign Guide " . The cover art also depicts the lightfight between the Alliance guards and Imperial Knights as spilling into the conference room , where Draco Force - pushes one of the guards out of Bovark ' s way . However , the issue has just Draco entering the conference room and Force - pushing Gar Stazi while Krieg and all three Alliance guards remain in the hallway .
