Myrkr strike team The Myrkr strike team was a group of young Jedi led by Apprentice Anakin Solo , with the support of two YVH droids and various personnel , who went to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong worldship " Baanu Rass " in Myrkr ' s orbit in order to destroy the voxyn queen during the Yuuzhan Vong War in 27 ABY . The operation was known as the Mission to Myrkr . Result . The mission was a success with Jacen Solo destroying the voxyn queen , but it came at a huge price : six Jedi - almost half of the task force - were killed , including strike team commander Anakin Solo . Jacen Solo was taken prisoner by Vergere after killing the queen . The craft Raynar Thul stayed on was hijacked by Nightsister Lomi Plo and Dark Jedi Welk , and all three were presumed lost during Myrkr outbound . Jaina Solo and the remaining eight members of the strike team hijacked Nom Anor ' s craft " Ksstarr " and survived Myrkr outbound . Legacy . Eight years later , the survivors of the strike team all received a desperate call through the Force , emanating from the Unknown Regions . The Jedi journeyed to the Unknown Regions , and fell under the influence of the Dark Nest . Alema Rar turned against her fellow Jedi , and all except Jacen ( and Tenel Ka , who refused to leave Hapes due to her duty as Queen Mother ) became Joiner s , their minds open to manipulation by Raynar Thul — now known as UnuThul — Welk and Lomi Plo , who survived the Myrkr outbound and crash - landed elsewhere . The influence marked the beginning of the Dark Nest Crisis which eventually led to the Swarm War . Five years after the war , Jacen Solo turned to the dark side and was taught the ways of the Sith during the Second Galactic Civil War . He would later flow - walk with Tahiri back to the mission where she passionately kissed Anakin Solo before he was killed . As a result , Tahiri joined Jacen in his attempt to bring peace to the galaxy . By then the Sith Lord Darth Caedus , Jacen was eventually killed by his sister Jaina in 41 ABY . Statistics . Before leaving the Eclipse Station , tacticians projected that the successful rate of the mission would be 72 % , which would decrease by 2 % per standard hour . Once Anakin Solo applied Plan D during Myrkr inbound , the success rate decreased to 21 % with a casualty projection of over 90 % . Ulaha Kore stayed behind aboard the " Exquisite Death " to boost the successful rate to around 50 % , which decreased by 0 . 2 % per standard minute . As the strike team carried the mission for over at least thirty standard hours , one can state that the strike team achieved the impossible against all odds . Taking Jedi and droids into calculation , 40 % of the original strike team participants were killed in action , 45 % survived the mission and the outbound , 10 % were missing in action , and 5 % were captured by the enemy . 10 % of the original strike team survivors were later killed in the Yuuzhan Vong War . Around 78 % of the strike team survivors in 35 ABY became Joiners or partial Joiners . Out of members that made up the main part of the original strike team ( excluding the Calrissians and Yarsroot ) , only eight — Jaina Solo , Lowbacca , Tesar Sebatyne , Tahiri Veila , Raynar Thul , Tekli , Zekk , and Tenel Ka Djo — survived both the mission itself and its long - lasting repercussions . Field operatives . Given the title of Strike team commander , Anakin Solo was tasked with the detection of Yuuzhan Vong on the mission . He would later die in action , allowing the remaining Jedi to flee slaughter . Second - in - command , Jacen Solo was named Meld coordinator ; the individual that would keep spirits high on the mission . He was also the animal expert out of the group , an ability that would come in use when dealing with the bioforms of the Vong technology . Jacen would be captured by Vergere and tortured while the surviving task force members fled " Baanu Rass " . Jaina Solo was third - in - command , and the pilot for the group . Her task was to located and operate the hijacked " Ksstarr " out of the worldship . Ganner Rhysode served as the decoy commander on the assignment ; used to draw fire away from Anakin Solo . Jedi Zekk served as the equipment scavenger ; picking up as many weapons as he could to assist in the operation . Tahiri Veila used her abilities to understand the Vongese as the group ' s translator . Lowbacca and his droid Em Teedee were the biomechanics experts , while Tekli served as the groups field medic . Tesar Sebatyne and Alema Rar were meant to be used as stealth and underground infiltration agents , but both were forced into action with the rest of the team . Ulaha Kore would lend her piloting and tactical analyst skills before being killed in action ; Eryl Besa would contribute her powers of space navigation before being killed in the worldship . Bela and Krasov Hara provided their stealth skills before meeting their death , along with team sniper , Jovan Drark . Dark Jedi Lomi Plo and Welk were discovered by Raynar Thul and Tenel Ka Djo ; who were providing ground support for the team . The Dark Jedi hijacked the " Tachyon Flier " , the groups escape transport , along with Raynar . They were eventually rediscovered in a Killik hive during the Dark Nest Crisis . In addition to the Jedi , the YVH droids YVH 2 - 1S and YVH 2 - 4S provided cover fire , before being felled by Yuuzhan Vong . Supportive personnel and strategists . Under the alias of Fitzgibbon Lane , Lando Calrissian and his wife Tendra piloted " Lady Luck " and delivered the field operatives to the Yuuzhan Vong on " Exquisite Death " . The chef , Yarsroot and droid YVH 1 - 1A helped to create the illusion that Lane was delivering the Jedi to the Vong for payment . From Eclipse Station , Luke Skywalker and the other Jedi present provided strategy ; along with the hopes and prayers from Han and Leia Solo .
