Battle on Fedalle

Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, a battle was fought on the planetShadow Fall Fedalle between four former handmaidens of Padmé Amidala and the Sith Lord Darth Vader. The handmaidens, consisting of Dormé, Eirtaé, Saché, and Rabé Tonsort, along with another, Sabé, had previously attempted to kill Vader, as they believed him to be responsible for Amidala's death. The group were defeated, and Sabé eventually came into the service of Vader as he sought to bring order to the galaxy.
The other handmaidens learned of Sabé's service to Vader and tried to rescue their former companion. They captured the assassin Ochi, who also served Vader, and then infiltrated Vader's flagship, the Executor, where they learned of Sabé's present mission to kill the revolutionary Jul Tambor. After Dormé's cover was blown, Vader took her aboard a shuttle and they departed from the Executor. The other handmaidens followed Vader's shuttle to Fedalle, where Dormé tried to inform them she had left the information on Sabé's location so they could track her. Saché then informed Dormé that she was not going to sacrifice her to ensure they saved Sabé, which Dormé countered by stating she had sacrificed them all instead. Vader drew his lightsaber and the handmaidens attacked.
Vader was eventually able to overwhelm and defeat the four, and as he attempted to recruit them to serve him, the handmaidens revealed that they had the activation code to the self-destruct mechanisms of the Executor, and that they were prepared to kill all aboard if they did not get Sabé. Vader told them to do it, but the situation was interrupted by Ochi, who presented Vader with a message from Admiral Firmus Piett informing them that Tambor had contacted them with a challenge for him to retrieve Sabé from him. Vader then asked Dormé what she wanted, to which she replied that if it was how they would save Sabé, then they would be at his service.
