The Second Battle of Dathomir was a battle fought during the War of the Ring on Dathomir between the combined forces of the Sith and the Confederacy of Independent Systems; and the renegade Sith Lord Gollum and Mother Talzin. The battle began after Gollum brought the captive Sith Lord Saruman the White to Dathomir, so Talzin could drain the wizard's life force and use it to return her previously-destroyed physical form. Darth Sauron was able to trace the location of Saruman, his apprentice, and traveled with General The Mouth of Sauron to Dathomir to rescue Saruman and defeat their enemies.
Sauron and the Mouth arrived to confront Gollum and Talzin, the latter of whom had used her magick to take control of Saruman's body. This led to a lightsaber duel, in which Sauron quickly gained the upper hand against the Talzin-controlled Saruman. Talzin appeared in the flesh, returned to her physical form, and held off a Force lightning assault from Sauron and, eventually, Saruman. Talzin sacrificed her own life to allow Gollum to escape, as Mouth of Sauron fatally stabbed the Dathomir witch through the chest while Gollum fled from Dathomir. The Separatists, meanwhile, also attacked Gollum's Black Sun and Pyke Syndicate allies, leading the mercenaries to end their alliance with Gollum—effectively destroying the Shadow Collective. Though Gollum escaped, Sauron believed his former apprentice's defeat eliminated his future, while securing the future of the Sith.
