However , a Jedi StealthX wing arrived soon after , attacking the Sith and letting the Skywalkers escape . Biography . The male Keshiri Jestat Vhool was a Force - sensitive born on the planet Kesh . He reached the rank of Sith Master in the Lost Tribe of Sith , and by 44 ABY served as a commander of three " Kondo " - class assault shuttles in the Tribe ' s armada . He was stationed on Boonta , where he received a message from Sith apprentice Vestara Khai , calling for reinforcements on the moon Pydyr . Vhool traveled to Pydyr with Sith Saber Gavar Khai and High Lord Sarasu Taalon . There , they met with Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his son , Ben , who had been traveling with Vestara Khai . At Taalon ' s discretion , the Sith decided to temporarily spare the Jedi , as Taalon wanted to learn from Abeloth what he was becoming — following his immersion in the Pool of Knowledge , he had slowly begun to transform into the same kind of entity that she was . The Sith and Jedi flew to the Fallanassi village where Abeloth was hiding , fighting their way through illusions created by the White Current . Along the way , one of the Sith shuttles , the " Obuuri " , was destroyed . Upon arriving in the village , Abeloth — in the body of the Fallanassi Akanah Norand Goss Pell — attacked the Sith with visions , first directed only at Gavar Khai , but then at Vhool and the entire Sith party , excepting Sarasu Taalon and Vestara Khai . To the Sith , it appeared as though they were beset by transluscent green phantoms that breathed vapor onto them , making them appear to have aged a dozen years , and stabbed them with tentacles , drawing upon their fear and becoming more opaque . The Sith scattered , fleeing from the village ; some even jumped straight into the surrounding ocean to their deaths . While Vhool was beset by these visions , the Jedi confronted Abeloth , again defeating her and forcing her to flee . As she left the planet , Vhool and the other Sith slowly began to return to their senses . Vhool quickly spied Vestara Khai and the Skywalkers walking toward the Jedi ' s ship , the " Jade Shadow " . He confronted them , told them to await Taalon ' s arrival before they could tend to their injuries in the medbay , and instructing Khai to prepare the vessel for departure . Khai started up the " Jade Shadow " while Vhool returned to the battle site to find Taalon . Suddenly , a wing of Jedi StealthX s arrived to come to the Skywalkers ' aide , and Vhool discovered the truth that Khai had killed Taalon — unbeknownst to him , to prevent Taalon from becoming another being like Abeloth — and began to charge the " Jade Shadow " calling for her to be stopped . However , Khai opened fire on the Sith with the " Jade Shadow " blaster cannon , giving the Skywalkers time to make their way on board and escape .
