In 1983 during the War of the Ring, the Death Watch traveled to the volcanic planet of Mustafar to meet with Black Sun leaders with their new Sith allies Gollum and Judge Claude Frollo.
==Prelude==
In the aftermath of their disastrous duel with Jedi Masters Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee on Florrum and a skirmish with pirate leader Hondo Ohnaka and his pirate gang, Gollum and Claude Frollo managed to flee the destruction of their ship in an escape pod. The two, minus an arm respectively, soon lost consciousness in the pod.
Later, the Death Watch found the pod and cut a hole to get inside. Pre Vizsla and Bo-Katan entered to find the two villains. Vizsla found Gollum's lightsaber and then had the two taken away for treatment.
When Gollum awoke, Vizsla asked what the two were. Maul stated they were Sith Lords, and when Vizsla asked if the two worked for Saruman, Gollum stated that they served no one and that the two were assassins, the true lords of the Sith. When he said that their ship had been destroyed by Frodo and Sam, Vizsla and Gollum concluded the two had a common enemy. The two then allied with each other and began to plot taking Erebor for themselves. First, however, they were to rally the Black Sun on Mustafar.
==The mission==
Upon their arrival on Mustafar, Gollum, Frollo, Vizsla, Bo-Katan and other Death Watch soldiers met with Ziton Moj who took them inside the facility to meet with Xomit Grunseit. Moj believed that Gollum and his allies would have no chance in successfully recruiting Grunseit. Gollum attempted to rally Grunseit to his cause, which Frollo enforced by killing a Falleen guard, but Grunseit refused to ally with Gollum and mocked him as well as his allies, so he was killed by Frollo, who hurled his lightsaber from across a table, which also killed Grunseit's four other leaders.
==Aftermath==
Following Grunseit's death, Ziton Moj willingly joined Gollum's new army. The Black Sun Guards at his disposal were absorbed into the Gollum's alliance. They would prove instrumental for the sub sequential takeover and battle of Erebor just days after the mission.
