Raid on The Spike The Raid on the Spike was a battle of the Republic Dark Age in 1032 BBY during the Chelloa campaign that took place on the space station The Spike . It pitted two rival Sith factions against each other : Sith Lord Daiman ' s Daimanate and his estranged brother Sith Lord Odion ' s Odionate . The battle also involved the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt , the lone survivor of the illfated Operation Influx , who was determined to destroy both Sith Lords particularly Odion who had planned to deploy world - devastating Kinetic corruptor s on Chelloa to harvest its vast baradium deposits . History . Background . In 1032 BBY , the Sith Lord Daiman began baradium mining and shipping operations on the planet Chelloa in the Outer Rim ' s Grumani sector . The former Jedi Gorlan Palladane leaked intelligence on Daiman ' s operations to the Jedi Order which dispatched Jedi Master Vannar Treece to disrupt the baradium operations during Operation Influx . However , the transmissions were also intercepted by the rival Sith Lord Odion who desired to exploit Chelloa ' s baradium deposits while destroying the planet with kinetic corruptor s . Despite initial successes on Orrananan , the entire strike team with the exception of Kerra Holt was wiped out on the Chelloan mining colony of Jenith during an attack by Odion . Daiman sought to find out the source of the leak , torturing to death the Rodian mechanic Skodo , a member of the Chelloan resistance and an associate of Palladane . However , he was attacked during a duel by Kerra Holt , who quickly learnt from Daiman of the threat of Odion to Chelloa . Odion ' s mobile space station The Spike was producing more kinetic corrupters , vast mobile superweapons capable of releasing baradium gases by igniting veins on the surface of Chelloa . Driven by her animosity to the Sith in general and her determination to protect Chelloa ' s people , Holt ended her duel with Daiman and stole one of his starfighters . Infiltration . Viewing Odion as a threat to his control of baradium extraction on Chelloa , Daiman dispatched a small strike force of Daimanate starfighter s in an attempt to knock out The Spike . However , his light starfighters were wiped out by Odion ' s gunships which included his flagship the " Sword of Ieldis " . In the midst of the attack , Holt bailed out from her starfighter into space and infiltrated The Spike by entering through an open hatch . Discarding her spacesuit , she disabled a service droid and then made her way to the Pod Seventeen in the vast assembly area . There , Holt overpowered a labor droid known as GAD - 3 and then reset his motivation center . In exchange for Kerra fixing back his robotic arms , Gad - 3 revealed learnt that The Spike was dedicated solely to the production of kinetic corruptors and that all floors were decentralized from the main structure for security reasons . Gad - 3 then added that Holt should not have come alone . At that moment , they were interrupted by the arrival of Odion and his Givin second - in - command Jelcho to Pod Seventeen . However , he did not sense them initially since they were hidden under the catwalk . Odion was preoccupied with using his corrupters to extract Chelloa ’ s baradium deposits . When Odion inquired about Daiman ’ s movements , Jelcho informed him of an informant that supplied intelligence on the existence of Daiman ’ s baradium operations . From a recorded transmission , the informant claimed that all of Daiman ’ s mining operations were permanently offline in an attempt to draw Sith attention away from Chelloa . However , Odion dismissed the informant ’ s latest reports as an attempt by Daiman or other parties to undermine his planned baradium operations . Meanwhile , Holt released GAD - 3 and sent him back to his station with instructions to open another door when she gave the signal . Odion then concluded the meeting by ordering all his kinetic corrupters to be prepared for landing on Chelloa to harvest all the baradium . Due to the volatile nature of baradium , much of Chelloa would be destroyed and rendered uninhabitable . While gloating of his recent victory over the Jedi particularly Master Treece , Odion suddenly sensed the presence of an intruder through the Force . In a fit of rage , he ripped apart the catwalk and discovered Holt . Jedi versus Sith . Brushing away Jelchro ’ s concerns that he would damage the space station ’ s infrastructure , Odion pursued Holt in a heated lightsaber duel . Kerra was also pursued by a mob of armed Gamorrean guards , followers of Odion who craved dying in combat . The fighting led the combatants through a series of catwalks to the upper levels of the Spike , the main structure supporting the various assembly lines . In a verbal confrontation , Kerra told Odion that she had attacked him aboard his space station to drive him away from Chelloa thus saving the lives of thousands of sentients . She also revealed that Daiman ’ s mobile munitions factories were bringing in thousands more slaves by the day . Odion shrugged away Holt ’ s concerns for innocent lives , arguing that all sentients existed only to be killed by him . Due to his nihilistic philosophy , Odion saw himself as the destroyer of all life in the galaxy and embraced death . As he prepared to strike Holt down with his lightsaber , she played her final card by ordering the reprogrammed Gad - 3 to open all containment fields , thus opening much of the space station to zero - gravity space . This triggered an explosion that wrecked large areas of The Spike , destroying many labor droids and killing many workers . Further destruction was averted only by Jelcho reactivating the emergency shielding . As with all Givin , Jelcho had a tough exoskeleton that could seal all external orifices for protection against depressurization , allowing him to survive in hard vacuum . In the midst of the chaos , Holt hijacked a construction shuttle , incapacitating the pilot and then fleeing into space . Meanwhile , Odion ordered his entourage back to his flagship " Sword of Ieldis " . Understanding his Jedi opponent , Odion knew that Holt would return to confront him which was proven right . In an ensuing cat - and - mouse race in space , Holt ’ s shuttle engaged Odion ’ s gunship . Anticipating that Holt was going to ram her shuttle into his ship , he ordered his crew to open fire . However , the duel was interrupted by an incoming transmission from Lord Daiman . In a live broadcast from his Chelloan headquarters , a furious Daiman revealed to Odion that he had seized and tortured his informant : Gorlan Palladane . In response to the intelligence leakage , Daiman had ordered a military crackdown on all mining settlements on Chelloa with his troops razing and pillaging the homes of the masses . Witnessing the plight of her friend , Holt aborted her run by doing a quick jump into hyperspace . To the relief of Jelcho , Odion chose to spare his crew due to the intelligence on Daiman ’ s mining operations he had learnt from Holt . Rather than using his kinetic corruptors to destroy the surface of Chelloa , he ordered his elite Lightning Guard to be loaded into landing ships to counter Daiman ’ s war forges near the baradium mines . He also planned to conquer Chelloa and annex to his interstellar principality — the Odionate . Meanwhile , Holt returned to the mining settlement of Jenith in an attempt to protect Palladane ’ s family from Daiman ’ s retribution .
