Skirmish on Coruscant ( Second Galactic Civil War ) The Skirmish on Coruscant was a mission to Coruscant undertaken by Ben Skywalker , Jaina Solo , and Leia Organa Solo that took place 41 ABY , with the objective to learn of Darth Caedus ' movements , and to use that information to remove the Sith Lord from power . Prelude . In order to gain information of the wayward Chief of State , the three Jedi Knights went to the Monument Plaza on Coruscant to meet with Galactic Alliance Guard Captain Lon Shevu , who was still trusted and held in high esteem by Caedus , and therefore likely to be one of the few people with knowledge of Caedus ' whereabouts . Disguised as an Arkanian noble , an Elomin office secretary and a Codru - Ji dancer , the Jedi infiltrated the plaza , while not attracting any attention . Skywalker made for Captain Shevu while the Solos watched and waited in the wings to assist if something went wrong . Skywalker made contact with Shevu , also disguised , and Shevu proceeded to inform Ben that Caedus ( called Three - Eye , to prevent observers from understanding ) was on Roche , solidifying his hold over the Imperial Remnant ' s control of the asteroids , and the Remnant itself . However , contrary to what Skywalker thought , he and Shevu were being watched by a pair of Rodians trying " very " hard to look like a couple on vacation . When Ben saw them reach inside the pockets of their outer tunics , he realized he had been found out . Battle . Skywalker shoved Shevu over to try and create the illusion that he was resisting arrest , so Shevu could remain on Coruscant as a spy . He fired his blaster randomly , and Shevu responded in turn , both still acting . Ben then turned to run , but found himself staring down an aisle in the crowd that was opening in front of an armor - clad , blonde - haired , lightsaber - bearing woman sprinting to reach him , followed closely by a dozen GAG commandos . Still fully in the GAG mindset , Skywalker ran " away " from his Jedi support , in the hopes that Jaina and Leia would be able to escape . He composed a short message to the Jedi transport " Sweet Time " about Caedus ' location and his and Shevu ' s imminent capture . Tahiri caught up with him at that point , and they entered into a short brawl , trading several blows before Tahiri ' s GAG troopers surrounded Ben . He ignited his lightsaber and deflected the first few bolts , but Tahiri rapidly punched him in the back several times , knocking him unconscious . Rescue Attempt . As Tahiri and her shock troops loaded Ben and the prone Shevu into a Doomsled , Jaina made her way over to Leia , noticing the two Rodians being loaded into a med - wagon . Using a few acting tricks and some Force suggestions on officers Tobyl and Jat ' ho , the Solos commandeered the med - wagon . Ejecting the hapless Bith pilot , they took to the skies after Tahiri . Going a different way initially , to throw off suspicion , once they were out of sight of the GAG troopsleds , Jaina shoved the throttle forward , and they sped after the Doomsled . Driving ridiculously fast , and almost hitting a Squib in an air taxi , they began to close the distance with the GA squad . As the two Rodians still in the med - wagon were coming around , Organa Solo gave them some more sedatives to keep them out . The Jedi flew closer the Galactic City SpeedPipe , following Tahiri , noticing that things seemed to be too easy . They would prove to be right , as Tahiri voice - activated a gas trap shortly afterward . Using various methods , Jaina and Leia survived the gas , but realized , as the GAG shooters lancing bolts across their vessel hadn ' t yet reduced it to scrap , that Veila was planning to trap them in a controlled environment , and that she had known Shevu was a double agent for a while , and employed various techniques , including torture and attempted seduction to get the location of the Jedi ' s secret base from Ben Skywalker , though he resisted her advances , resulting in Shevu ' s demise . Forced to leave Ben in the hands of the Sith , they escaped the planet . Aftermath . Skywalker would escape custody a short while afterward with the help of Taryn and Trista Zel , Hapan twin sisters , although not before suffering torture at the hands of SD - XX . Shevu would die of catastrophic heart failure after Tahiri applied a bolt of Force lightning to his chest . Their objective was to find the location of the secret Jedi base . Grand Master Luke Skywalker would reveal to his sister and niece that he had foreseen Ben ' s capture , and had sent him anyway . His reasons for this were to jam Caedus ' Force visions , thereby preventing the Sith Lord from figuring out that his twin sister Jaina was coming for him , and not the Grand Master .
