Skirmish in the Ancient Crystal Cave Shortly after the Treaty of Coruscant , a skirmish took place in the crystal cave on Dantooine between several Jedi and a pair of Sith Lords . The Jedi group , led by Master Dar ' Nala , disagreed with the treaty , and were attempting to destroy it , going against the beliefs of their order . The Sith , meanwhile , were using the situation to try to turn a promising young Jedi to the dark side . Both groups met in the crystal cave and a fight ensued . However , Dar ' Nala ' s madness was eventually revealed to her followers , and this resulted in her death . This ended the confrontation . Prelude . In the year 3681 BBY , the True Sith Empire returned from deep space and attacked the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order , seeking revenge for its defeat in the Great Hyperspace War . After a decade of success , the Empire ' s advance was halted and the war became a stalemate . In 3653 BBY , the Dark Council of the Empire stunned the Galactic Senate with an offer of peace . Although the Jedi Council urged caution , in the end the Senate chose to accept the Sith ' s offer . Diplomats from both sides convened on Alderaan to discuss the terms of a cease - fire . But the Sith weren ' t finished yet : an elite Sith army under the command of Darth Angral attacked and captured the Galactic capital of Coruscant . With the Sith threatening to destroy Coruscant , the Republic diplomats on Alderaan had no choice but the sign the uneven Treaty of Coruscant . While the majority of the Sith were satisfied with the treaty , there were many in the Republic who were upset with the uneven terms . One of these dissidents was a Jedi Master named Dar ' Nala . Working with other Jedi and Republic soldiers who agreed with her , Dar ' Nala orchestrated a series of events to make it look like the Sith were still attacking the Republic , and setting up Sith Lord Darth Baras to take the blame for the treaty ' s disruption . Conflict . Baras , meanwhile , found out about Dar ' Nala ' s manipulations after Angral confronted him and accused him of sabotaging his own treaty , and decided to use this to further his own goals . Baras and Angral would later travel to Dantooine to meet Dar ' Nala and her supporters in the crystal caves . Dar ' Nala arrived with Jedi Knight Fortris Gall , Republic Soldier Harron Tavus , and a Wookiee bounty hunter named Dalborra ( who was under Dar ' Nala ' s control ) . Dar ' Nala and her party then attacked the Sith Lords and their bodyguards . Sometime into the fight , Jedi Knight Satele Shan arrived and joined the Jedi fighting . Baras then put his plan to corrupt Satele into action . He revealed to her that Dar ' Nala , her own master , had been behind the disruption of the treaty , and called on Satele to join the Sith to protect the peace . While Satele refused to join the Sith , the revelation of the truth caused her to withdraw her support of Dar ' Nala . She then advised Tavus to do the same , and he did . This turn of events infuriated Dar ' Nala so much that she completely gave into the dark side . She then attempted to punish Satele by murdering Tavus , as she sensed that he and Satele were falling in love . But this move turned Gall against her as well , and her attempt on Tavus ' life was thwarted . Dar ' Nala then called upon Dalborra to kill Gall , but Dalborra had managed to break free of the fallen Jedi ' s control and killed her . Aftermath . After Dar ' Nala ' s death , Satele led the Tavus and Gall back to the Republic base on Dantooine . Dar ' Nala ' s death ended the attempts to disrupt the Treaty of Coruscant and the peace it had brought would hold through .
