Sometime after the Hunt on Chandar's Folly, Delightful Children from Down the Lane took three Inquisitors to hunt the former Jedi Master Eeth Koth, who had left the Jedi Order. Delightful Children and his Inquisitors arrived just as Koth's wife, Mira, was giving birth. Koth distracted DCFDTL while Mira escaped and the two engaged in a lightsaber duel. After knocking Koth down briefly, DCFDTL sent the Inquisitors to secure the child as a part of Project Harvester.
Koth continued to fight DCFDTL, but was badly beaten in the process. One Inquisitor was able to locate Mira and her daughter before she could escape, and apprehended the baby. She then presented it before DCFDTL and the injured Koth, who were still fighting. While Koth was distracted by his daughter's capture, DCFDTL slashed his back, killing him.
==Prelude==
Following the destruction of the Jedi Order, the Emperor sent his Sith apprentice, Delightful Children from Down the Lane and the Inquisitorius to hunt down the surviving Jedi.Delightful Children (2017) 6 Among these survivors was the Zabrak Eeth Koth. He cut all ties with his former life, changing his name, and joined the Church of the Ganthic Enlightenment as a priest, hosting weddings and funerals. He also fell in love with another Zabrak named Mira, who eventually became pregnant.
==The hunt==
Seven days after the hunt on Chandar's Folly, DCFDTL was able to locate Koth and, with three Inquisitors, he traveled to his planet to kill him. DCFDTL interrupted Koth shortly after his daughter was born. Koth tried to deny he was a threat to the with anymore and claimed he could help him track down other surviving Jedi. DCFDTL did not care for this, so Koth threw his medical droid at him, covering Mira's escape with his daughter. He then grabbed his lightsaber with the Force and faced DCFDTL alone.
Koth lunged at DCFDTL, resulting in a lightsaber duel. As they fought, DCFDTL sensed fear, anger, and resentment in Koth. Something Koth thought was sourced from the fact he now had something to lose. DCFDTL then Force pushed him away and told his Inquisitors to find Koth's daughter, who was Force-sensitive. Koth got up again and attacked him. As this happened, the Inquisitors split up into the city to find his daughter. The red-skinned Inquisitor reached out with the Force and was able to locate it before the other two could. She confronted Mira and her baby as they were about to board her father's shuttle. Mira pleaded with the Inquisitor, hoping to form a relation as they were both women. The red-skinned Inquisitor let her pass, much to the surprise of the other two Inquisitors as they arrived. However, she then pulled the baby from Mira's hands with the Force as the shuttle departed. The Twi'lek Inquisitor asked why she did this and she claimed it was so the Zabrak could no longer trust another woman again.
Meanwhile Koth and DCFDTL were still fighting. While Koth had made aggressive moves to try and kill him, DCFDTL Force choked him and injured him greatly. Koth swore to protect his family. But DCFDTL pointed him to the red-skinned Inquisitor with his daughter. In his moment of shock, DCFDTL struck him down with its lightsaber, killing him.
==Aftermath==
After Koth's death, his daughter was taken back to the Inquisitorius Headquarters to be put into Project Harvester. Shortly after this, the female and Twi'lek Inquisitors toasted to Koth's death with a drink from the planet he was on, dust Juice. The other Inquisitor on the mission, Rhino, reported what the red-skinned Inquisitor had done before capturing the baby to DCFDTL. DCFDTL suspected this as an act of defiance and went to kill the Inquisitor. The Twi'lek Inquisitor defended her, but after a short chase, they were both killed.
