She asked the Admiral for permission to take one of his shuttles to the planet Dac in order to retrieve her fellow Imperial Knight Treis Sinde , who was working with the Mon Calamari Rangers against the Sith - Imperial forces on Dac .

Dan Force - pushed Dare away from him and asked if he could suggest an alternative to their solution , but Dare continued attacking the Jedi . During the skirmish , Dan told Sinde that he agreed with Dare about him returning to Bastion , stating that if Sinde truly felt that the Imperial Knights were losing their focus , the Force needed Sinde to return to instruct the Imperial Knights . The Jedi Master blocked Dare ' s attack while Force - pushing Sinde and gained the upper hand by pushing the Imperials into each other . After deactivating his lightsaber , Dan volunteered to take Sinde ' s place with the Mon Calamari Rangers , and Sinde agreed with Dan . Dan then bid farewell to both Sinde and Dare and left with Tanquar to help the Mon Calamari Rangers . Evacuation of Dac . A short time later , the Sith Lord Darth Wyyrlok , who had become the ruler of the Empire , ordered the execution of the Final Protocol . The Sith scientist Vul Isen infected Dac ' s oceans with Viral spore s that would eliminate all life on the planet within seven days . Three days after the Final Protocol ' s execution , the Galactic Alliance starfighter squadron known as Rogue Squadron discovered that millions of beings had died , prompting Admiral Stazi to initiate a massive evacuation of the planet . Dan joined the Mon Calamari Rangers in their takeover of the city Heurkea ' s docks , which served as base for the evacuation efforts .

This led Dan to ask Imperial Knight Sigel Dare if he could join her on her mission to retrieve Sinde from Dac . As their shuttle approached the planet , Dare began to inform him of their plan to get Sinde out of Dac quickly , but Dan pointed out to Dare that he was aware of the plan , since she had gone over it five times previously .
