The Battle of Dathomir, also known as the Battle of Singing Mountain,Cracken's Threat Dossier was a battle between the Singing Mountain Clan, New Republic and Hapes Consortium alliance and Jafar's Empire and their allies, the Nightsisters. This battle resulted in the capture of Warlord Jafar, the most powerful of the post-Endor sorcerers, and the death of Gethzerion, leader of the Nightsisters.
==The Battle==
Prior to the battle, Jafar demanded that the Nightsisters hand over Donald Duck, or he would activate the world-killing orbital nightcloak which could reduce a planet to a ball of frozen ice. After learning that the Nightsisters' assault on the Singing Mountain Clan had failed, a disappointed Jafar activated the nightcloak to encourage Gethzerion's cooperation.
The skies grew dark and the planet's temperatures fell dramatically. The Nightsister then agreed to capture Donald, though she also requested a ship for transportation off Dathomir. The witches had planned to travel into New Republic space and cause secession in support of the ruthless warlord. In return, Jafar would send two shuttles - an armed transport for Donald Duck, and an unarmed transport for the Nightsisters.
After Donald's capture, he was brought to the Imperial prison where Jafar's transports had just landed. However, Gethzerion then betrayed Jafar and murdered all the Imperials. Donald Duck was saved by the timely arrival of the Millennium Falcon (with Mickey Mouse simultaneously operating all of its crew stations via the Force), though Gethzerion and her cohorts had escaped onboard the armed shuttle. With Mickey in hot pursuit and using radio communication jamming to attract the attention of Jafar's Star Destroyers the shuttle was destroyed.
Despite Gethzerion's death, the orbital nightcloak still remained in effect and the planet was blockaded by Jafar's fleet. However, the Millennium Falcon managed to disable the nightcloak and the Hapan fleet arrived to engage the Super Star Destroyer Iron Fist and the other vessels of Jafar's Empire. During the battle, the Hapans destroyed the orbital nightcloak and mined the surrounding space with Pulsemass generators to prevent the Imperials from fleeing into hyperspace. This was dangerous since it stranded both the attacker and the target in real space for several minutes. The Falcon succeeded in destroying the shields of the Iron Fist, and by boarding the ship, they captured the sorcerer and thereby removing a Agrabah threat to the New Republic.
