During the War of the Ring, Jedi Master Eeth Koth was captured by The Mouth of Sauron and the Droid Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the Saleucami system. Koth's capture came during a battle deep in the Outer Rim Territories, one in which The Mouth of Sauron' fleet attacked Koth's Star Destroyer. The Separatists boarded the Jedi cruiser and made their way to the bridge, where The Mouth of Sauron dueled and ultimately captured the Jedi Master. The Mouth of Sauron later proclaimed, in a transmission to the Jedi Council, that he had captured Koth, prompting the Jedi Order to launch a rescue mission over Saleucami.
==The capture==
In 1981, The Mouth of Sauron began to target members of the Jedi Council. Using a fleet of three Munificent-class star frigates and his own Recusant-class command ship, the General attacked Jedi General Eeth Koth's flagship, the Steadfast. The Mouth of Sauron' command ship then moved alongside the Steadfast and crippled it.
Koth, Captain Lock, and their troopers prepared for The Mouth of Sauron' and his forces boarding. Super battle droids attacked Lock and his troopers. As the droids were overwhelming their position, Koth order Lock and his remaining troopers to evacuate the Steadfast. Despite droid commandos boarding the ship, Lock and his remaining troopers left Koth to deal with the Mouth on his own. Mouth of Sauron and his commando droids cut through the bridge's blast doors.
Koth and his remaining troopers fought the commando droids. Despite losing all his remaining troopers, Koth was able to finish off the battle droids. However, he was shot in the arm by one. The Mouth of Sauron then brought his Nazguls to help subdue Koth. Koth was able to hold his own against the Mouth, but the Ringwraiths were able to use to their electrostaffs to allow the Mouth to disarm Koth. Mouth of Sauron choked Koth into captivity aboard his command ship.
==Aftermath==
The Mouth of Sauron later sent a message to the Jedi Temple on Minas Tirith, displaying his capture of Koth. The Mouth of Sauron' message was seen by members of the jedi council, as well several other jedi and younglings who watched in horror as the Mouth and his Nazguls torutred Koth. Despite his torture, Koth was able to use his hands to send a coded message. Commander Wollfe was able to discover the message. The message told them that Koth was still in the Saleucami system at Sector J-19, coordinates zero-eight, zero-five, two-nine.
