Battle of Geddes

"Leia's strike force set out for the stronghold, aiming to recapture the Vor'Na'Tu artifact at any cost. Rumors of Darth Vader spread among the crews, that Vader had been dispatched by the Emperor to retrieve the valuable item. I never put much stock in rumors, but you can never dismiss them completely."

- Wedge Antilles

The Battle of Geddes was a battle of the Krantian Civil War, during the Galactic Civil War.

The battle
"I guess your purge wasn't efficient enough, Vader!"

- Echuu Shen-Jon to Darth Vader



Later, when Organa met with Utric Sandov, Shen-Jon was surprised to hear that the Imperials had found the ancient Jedi artifact Vor'Na'Tu. He accompanied her to Geddes and together they obtained the artifact, but upon returning to their shuttle they found Darth Vader awaiting their arrival. Vader demanded that they hand over the relic to him, but Shen-Jon refused to surrender and destroyed it instead. Engaging the Dark Lord in a duel, Shen-Jon's skills were no match for the Sith Lord's and eventually Echuu Shen-Jon was killed. In dueling Vader, he gave Princess Organa enough time to escape.

In 1 BBY, Attichitcuk came to the aid of Leia Organa Solo and Echuu Shen-Jon in their efforts to retrieve the Vor'Na'Tu on Geddes during the Krantian Civil War. The timely arrival of Attichitcuk and his contingent of Wookiee warriors and war machines proved critical in the battle.
