Attempted kidnapping of Jarik Shan

During the Republic Era, a kidnapping attempt was made by the Sith in an effort to acquire the infant Jarik Shan as an apprentice. Having discovered that the Shan family had survived a purge millennia ago, Darth Sidious ordered his apprentice, Darth Maul, to kidnap the infant Jarik Shan and slaughter any who opposed him. The Sith assassin traveled to the planet Chandrila, the place which the Shan's lived, and though he killed the matriarch Lara Shan and her husband, the Mandalorian Marcus Sohl, Maul was unable to retrieve their child before he was hidden away by Lara.
Unbeknownst to Maul, Jarik was sent down the nearby river on a small raft which took him to Hanna City, where he was discovered and taken to an orphanage. About a year after the attempted kidnapping, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn felt a disturbance in the Force and experienced a brief vision of the event and traveled to investigate it. Jinn's search led him to discover Jarik Shan, after which he would ultimately bring him to the Jedi Temple to be trained as a Jedi.
