Mission to Zigoola The Mission to Zigoola was an operation that took place in 22 BBY during the Clone Wars . Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious set a trap for Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi and Senator Bail Prestor Organa on the remote Wild Space planet Zigoola , home to a Sith temple . Prelude . Several years before the Clone Wars began , Organa was contacted by a group dubbed the Friends of the Republic as he served as the head of negotiations between Alderaan and Chandrila to settle a joint mining venture . The group gave him the information needed to thwart an unspecified diplomatic and humanitarian disaster that Organa believed would engulf much of the Galactic Republic . He kept in contact with the Friends of the Republic thereafter , receiving occasional bits of intelligence regarding the war . In 22 BBY , the group contacted him on a secret comlink , granting him information regarding a society of beings who utilized the dark side of the Force called Sith who were planning an assault on the Jedi Order . Organa immediately took the information to his friend Senator Padmé Amidala , who had undertaken matters on behalf of the Jedi before and whom he considered an honorary Jedi herself . After relating the information to her , Amidala made a call to the Jedi Temple , asking Obi - Wan Kenobi to meet at her apartment , where Organa related the tale to him , much to the Jedi Master ' s skepticism . The meeting adjourned shortly afterward , with Kenobi promising to keep an open mind and to watch out for any potential threats . Days later , Organa received another communique from the Friends , this time bestowing him with the specific location of a Sith temple on Zigoola . The Senator bypassed Amidala this time , contacting Kenobi at the Jedi Temple directly and meeting at Organa ' s apartment , where he informed his Jedi confidante that he had initial coordinates and would be making the trip to Zigoola with or without Jedi assistance . Unwilling to allow a politician so inexperienced in combat take on such a vital mission alone , Kenobi contacted the Temple and was granted permission to accompany Organa on his quest . The mission . Coruscant to Munto Codru . The mission took place in several stages , starting out as Organa ' s private vessel cleared Coruscant ' s airspace , triggering a pre - recorded away message that let the Friends know he was ready to upload coordinates . The first stretch led the two to space bordering Kuat , then from there to Atzerri . Though the men initially took a disliking to each other , they were able to pass the time with games of sabacc and philosophical debates , Kenobi meditating intermittently and Organa working on political business for the Senate . While waiting for their next set of coordinates at Atzerri , Kenobi began suffering vivid nightmares during his meditations , but shook them off as the Friends instructed them to continue on to Munto Codru , in the distant reaches of the Outer Rim . Pirate attack . The coordinates by Munto Codru revealed only one landmark : a decrepit space station , which the two traveling companions decide is the headquarters of the Friends of the Republic . Pushing Organa ' s vessel into the docking bay , it became more and more evident that a struggle had taken place recently , and through examination of the discarded weapons and several bodies , Kenobi was able to deduce that the station had been attacked by pirates . Moving swiftly through the station , the two came to the command center , where they found one woman fighting off the rest of the attackers and their assault droids . Largely through use of the Force and a lightsaber , the pirates were defeated and the woman was able to reveal herself as Alinta , Organa ' s contact . As it became more and more obvious that Alinta had suffered a mortal wound , she made it a point to give the men the final coordinates they needed to reach Zigoola . She died shortly thereafter , giving them her final instructions to destroy the space station as they leave . Although Organa was initially hesitant , Kenobi upheld his pledge and the Friends of the Republic were obliterated into space . Zigoola . Alinta ' s final coordinates led the two into Wild Space , where they did indeed come across the Sith planet . With just a bit of trepidation , Kenobi attempted to land the ship , only to find himself overwhelmed by a Sith presence in his mind compelling him to Force choke Organa and crash the yacht . While the Jedi Master was able to break free of the hold just in time , he was unable to prevent their only mode of transportation from crashing into the planet ' s surface . Reawakening later and holding a brief firelight conference with his traveling companion , Kenobi came to the conclusion that the only possible way to survive would be to reach the Sith temple and use one of the artifacts to make contact with a Jedi at the Temple . Having spotted their goal during the crash landing , Kenobi and Organa begin their trek , suffering days of pounding Sith mental attacks ; several complete breakdowns including one in a forest which led to a scathing lightsaber assault against the hallucination of Asajj Ventress darting through trees ; and several recursions back into haunting memories such as firebeetle s , the deaths of Tayvor Mandirly , Xanatos and Qui - Gon Jinn and his and Anakin Skywalker ' s mutilation at the hands of Count Dooku during the Battle of Geonosis . Through pounding rain and lightning storms , Kenobi and Organa clambered through to the temple , utilizing Kenobi ' s discovery that pain dulled the Sith voices and instructing Organa to use his lightsaber whenever necessary . Although they reached the temple in more or less one piece , Kenobi collapsed just outside and Organa was forced to go in on his own , despite having absolutely no clue what any of the artifacts did . Realizing this fact , the Senator crawled outside and forced Kenobi to accompany him , tortuously finding a crystal that enhanced long - distance Force communication . Rescue . Deep in meditation on Coruscant , Grand Master Yoda sensed Kenobi ' s call , as well as a massively strong dark side presence that would prove a mortal danger to any Jedi sent to rescue him . He made a personal call to Padmé Amidala , asking her to undertake the mission to Zigoola with Captain Korbel . Amidala accepted , and made the mission unmolested , successfully picking up Kenobi and Organa and transporting them back to Coruscant . Aftermath . Due to Kenobi ' s tampering with the artifacts and triggering security measures in the Sith temple , the building collapsed in on itself , destroying its dark power and all of the dark side weapons within . Although both Kenobi and Organa were gravely injured and exhausted from the mission , they were able to complete their objective and form a lasting friendship , which would result in Kenobi trusting Organa as the adoptive father of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala ' s daughter Leia Organa Solo .
