Skirmish on Florrum / Legends A skirmish on the Outer Rim planet of Florrum took place during the Clone Wars in 20 BBY . The battle was fought between the pirate forces of Hondo Ohnaka , backed by the Jedi Order , and the secessionist pirate forces swayed away from Ohnaka ' s leadership by the Nightbrothers Darth Maul and Savage Opress . Being self proclaimed crime lords determined to seize control of the criminal underworld , Maul and Opress traveled to Florrum with the intention of seizing Ohnaka ' s pirating empire by force . After an initial scuffle with pirate forces in orbit of Florrum led by Lieutenant Jiro , Maul successfully bribed Jiro and his men with a promise of great wealth , keeping them alive in exchange for unquestioned devotion to Maul ' s cause . After unsuccessfully ordering Ohnaka to stand down , Maul and Opress , along with their newly acquired pirate army , laid siege to the pirate headquarters to eliminate anyone still loyal to Ohnaka . The Jedi Masters Obi - Wan Kenobi and Adi Gallia soon arrived to arrest the two Nightbrothers . While the split pirate forces battled it out , Kenobi and Gallia fought Maul and Opress , respectively . Gallia eventually fell to Savage ' s sheer brute strength , being gored by his Zabrak horns before being finished off with his lightsaber . Outnumbered , Kenobi and Ohnaka ' s forces retreated indoors , with Maul and his men in pursuit . Ohnaka managed to lure the surviving pirate opposition into a trap and force them into a surrender , reunifying the pirate gang . Meanwhile , Kenobi fought both Nightbrothers by dual - wielding his and Adi Gallia ' s lightsabers , managing to sever Opress ' s left arm . Maul and Opress soon fled to their ship , being pursued by the newly reunified pirate forces ; Maul lost a robotic leg in the process . After takeoff , the pirate forces destroyed one of their ship ' s engines , forcing the two to evacuate in an escape pod . Prelude . The recently resurfaced Darth Maul and his brother Savage Opress began making a name for themselves in the Outer Rim . Murdering and pillaging at every turn , the two Nightbrothers caught the attention of the Jedi Order , who thought they extinguished the threat of Maul during the Battle of Naboo a decade prior . Then , Maul had an army to back him , in the form of the droid armies of the Trade Federation . Now , Maul found himself displaced and on the run from an enemy that drastically outnumbered him and his brother . In order to survive , Maul deduced that they would need an army of followers . The Jedi Order soon dispatched Finn Ertay and a Nikto Jedi to deal with Maul and Opress . Confronting the brothers at an Outer Rim spaceport , the two Jedi engaged them but despite a valiant effort , Ertay was murdered by Maul when she attempted to save her comrade , who soon followed . During a raid on a space station owned by the InterGalactic Banking Clan , Maul and Opress came into possession of a large sum of Republic credits . With their newly acquired wealth , the two refashioned themselves as " crime lords " and planned to take control over the criminal underworld of the galaxy . They decided on taking their wealth to Florrum , home of the pirate gang of Hondo Ohnaka , in order to seize Ohnaka ' s pirate empire . Meanwhile , Jedi Masters Kenobi and Adi Gallia inspected the aftermath of the Cybloc station raid , where they questioned the Morlimur Snugg of the station about the assailants ' description . The supervisor confirmed to the Jedi that the assailants were , much to Obi - Wan ' s suspicion , the Nightbrothers , and that they had stolen the supervisor ' s shuttle before making a jump to hyperspace ; an employee thought he heard a reference to the Sertar sector . Obi - Wan immediately associated the sector with Florrum because of his repeated encounters with Ohnaka , and the Jedi set off for the pirate captain ' s base . Florrum itself recently suffered from a devastating attack by General Grievous of the Confederacy of Independent Systems , and Ohnaka was still reeling in the damage and losses . The skirmish . Pirate turncoats . Upon entering Florrum ' s orbit , the Nightbrothers deactivated their transport ' s hyperdrive , main reactor , and communications systems in order to feign being stranded in space . Falling for the bait , Lieutenant Jiro of the pirate forces , who was commanding the planet ' s perimeter defenses set up in the wake of Grievous ' s previous attack , formed a boarding party with his men with the intention of boarding the ship , killing its crew , and looting it of whatever valuables it contained . Jiro set up a docking tunnel between his " Corona " - class frigate and the seemingly damaged transport , and boarded the ship with two other men . They discovered a wealth of supplies in the cargo hold , including a number of firearms and a large crate containing pure spice . Overjoyed , Jiro stated that they would drink tonight to their newfound wealth . However , the two Nightbrothers emerged from the shadows and ignited their lightsabers . Believing the two tattooed men to be Jedi , Jiro and his men opened fire . Maul and Opress deflected all of the pirate ' s shots , disarmed Jiro using the Force , and held the pirate lieutenant at bay using a force choke . Opress and Maul revealed the large fortune they acquired from their raid on InterGalactic Banking Clan territory , and offered to bestow it upon the pirates if they were to devote themselves to the Nightbrother cause . The two explained that they were not Jedi ; however , they skirted the topic of their Sith and Dark Jedi training , instead referring to themselves as " crime lords " . Jiro was initially reluctant to betray Hondo , but after the two Zabraks explained that money was of no issue , dedicated himself , as did two other lieutenants ; however , one pirate was still on the fence , and he requested that they contact Ohnaka and give him the chance to turn himself over as well . Contacting the pirate captain via hologram , Maul explained that three of his lieutenants had betrayed him , and executed the indecisive pirate with his lightsaber to demonstrate the penalty for insubordination . Ohnaka refused to surrender himself , calling Maul a " laser - sword wielding maniac " and explaining that he has survived everything the galaxy had thrown at him . As such , Maul readied his newly acquired pirate army for a ground assault . Soon after , Kenobi and Gallia arrived in the system , and contacted Ohnaka via hologram . Ohnaka explained the situation to the Jedi Master ; Kenobi offered to deal with the Nightbrothers while Ohnaka handled the traitors . Ground battle . Three of the Ohnaka ' s starfighters landed on Florrum , launching an aerial assault . As the cargo ship and the transports landed , the traitorous pirates quickly ejected from the ships and began shooting at Ohnaka loyalists ; Ohnaka ' s pirates immediately took defensive positions . Laser fire flew in all directions and pirates on both sides fell . As Darth Maul and Savage Oppress stepped out of the cargo ship to observe the battle , they spotted the Jedi shuttle landing down on Florrum . Realizing the Jedi had come too soon , Maul and Oppress dashed to their position to confront them . Obi - Wan briefly sarcastically spoke to Maul ; lightsabers ignited and fury building , Maul charged at Kenobi with a few saber strikes . Savage then launched himself at Master Gallia with a furious array of saber strikes . After a quick flurry with both duels , Kenobi and Gallia jumped off the cliffside and separated . Savage then ramped up his assault on Gallia with aggression . Gallia stayed on the defensive as she lost footing and ducked . Kenobi dueled on top of a ruined engine with Maul , while Savage attacked with sundering strikes down below at Gallia . She threw a kick at Savage ' s left leg , which failed to affect the hulking Nightbrother , which caught her off - guard : using this opportunity , Savage barraged her with lightsaber strikes and threw a powerful Force push that catapulted Gallia into the side of the ruined engine . Savage then charged at Gallia and shoved his horned head into her body , mortally wounding her . As Kenobi watched in horror , Savage brought his blade down on Gallia ' s wounded form , killing her . Furious , Kenobi leapt down and kicked Savage to the ground . Maul parried a blow that would have killed his brother , and both Zabraks ganged up on the Jedi Master Ohnaka , realizing that his men were slowly dying and outnumbered , called out to Kenobi to follow them back into the base . Kenobi complied , but not before collecting Gallia ' s lightsaber . Ohnaka ordered some of his men to carry a large turret deeper into the tunnel . As they set up the ambush , Kenobi rendezvoused with Hondo : the next part of the plan was Obi - Wan would draw the brothers away . As the Zabraks and the traitorous pirates met up with Hondo and Obi - Wan ' s position , Hondo ordered a retreat into the base . The brothers and the pirates followed . Obi - Wan turned left while Hondo turned right . Then , as Savage and Maul followed Obi - Wan , Hondo shot his blaster at the ceiling , sealing themselves in with the pirates . While Maul and Savage dueled Kenobi , the traitorous pirates were about to open fire on Hondo and his men , but as the big turret was about to open fire , Jiro and his people surrendered , openly admitting they were bribed and persuaded by the brothers . Hondo wouldn ' t kill them , knowing that Maul and Savage only bribed them for their interest in Kenobi . The pirates once again reunited , Hondo and his men decided to congratulate their reunification by going out to the cargo ship and taking the cargo . Nightbrother retreat . As the Force - wielders came to a halt , Maul sneered at Obi - Wan to surrender , considering how outnumbered the Jedi Master was , but Kenobi ignited both his and Gallia ' s lightsaber . The Jedi Master used the Jar ' Kai style against the brothers , leaping back and forth between the brothers , throwing kicks at Maul and Savage one by one . Afterwards , Maul Force - gripped Kenobi and threw him into a wall , leaving him vulnerable . As Maul and Savage were about to kill Obi - Wan , the Jedi Master barely blocked both killing strikes . During the saber lock , the Human glanced at Savage ' s front leg and landed a kick at his knee joint . As Savage yelled out in pain , Obi - Wan broke off the saber block by cutting Savage ' s left arm . Savage was left on the ground in pain . Maul then turned to Kenobi and fired a powerful Force push at Kenobi , throwing him to the end of the corridor and causing the ceiling to cave in . Maul , realizing his plan has failed , picked up his brother / apprentice as Savage ' s arm spilled out Magick . The Nightbrothers made a run for the cargo ship as the newly reunified pirates fired on Maul and Savage . They attempted to deflect all the lasers , but Hondo shot Maul in the leg , causing Maul to limp . Jiro then fired on Maul ' s leg again . As Maul howled in pain , his leg from the shin down was dismembered . Savage quickly lifted Maul over his shoulder and continued running , while Maul continued deflecting laser bolts . Then Maul looked over on the cliffside to the Jedi shuttle . He used the Force and pulled it off the cliffside , obstructing the pirates and Kenobi ' s pursuit . As the brothers boarded the ship , they attempted to fly , but a pirate fired on the ship with a rocket launcher , compromising the engines . The two Zabrak brothers limped over to the escape pod and fled Florrum , while the rest of the cargo ship landed down onto the surface , exploding . Aftermath . Ohnaka , his pirates and Kenobi drove over to the wreckage of the cargo ship on speeders . Ohnaka and his pirates took the riches of the cargo ship for themselves . The pirate leader deduced that since the ship exploded , the brothers were dead . Kenobi disagreed , considering how Maul had survived his previous defeat . Later , back on Coruscant , Kenobi reported the events that took place to Chancellor Palpatine in a meeting with him , Anakin Skywalker , Mace Windu and Yoda . Palpatine merely ignored it and urged Kenobi to forget it ever happened , despite Maul and Opress being responsible for the murder of two Jedi Knights and a High Council member , and returned to his office . However , Yoda swore that if Maul was still alive , the Jedi would act as soon as he revealed himself again . After the Jedi left , Palpatine returned to his office with a sinister grin . Now that he was aware of Maul ' s survival ( with this being the second time he had been made aware of such after Skywalker told him he ' d have to miss the Senate War Rally to hunt for a Sith that wasn ' t Dooku ) , he knew the Nightbrothers would be a boon to the Rule of Two , considering Dooku was now Palpatine ' s apprentice . Maul and Opress were later found and nursed back to health by Pre Vizsla and Bo - Katan Kryze of the Death Watch . An alliance was forged between the brothers and the Death Watch , concluding with Maul killing Vizsla in a duel and becoming the Death Watch ' s new leader after they all took control of Mandalore . With his new minions , he and Opress captured Kenobi again , only for him to be rescued by Kryze , who refused to acknowledge Maul as Mandalore ' s ruler . As Kenobi escaped amidst a battle between the divided Death Watch forces , Palpatine , under the guise of Darth Sidious , personally traveled to the planet to tie up loose ends . He confronted the brothers in an intense duel and ultimately defeated them , killing Opress and subduing his former apprentice for " other uses . " Behind the scenes .
