Battle of Jebble

The Battle of Jebble is a battle that took place on the ice planet of Jebble.

Infection
The survey ship, the Mar'eyce was returning from Taris after finding the ancient Sith artifact known as the Muur Talisman. The newest scientist, Pulsipher, former assistant to the recently incarcerated Demagol, planned to research the artifact to unlock its power. But unknown to him, he had three stowaways onboard, Jedi Shadow Celeste Morne, fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick and Marn Hierogryph. Celeste tried to make Pulsipher to throw the Talisman out the airlock, but its influence made him want it and called to it. Immediately, it began wrapping around his right arm and attacked the nearest Mandalorians, leaving one with red marks on his armour.

The Mar'eyce soon landed, just as Mandalorians were conscripting new recruits for an invasion of Alderaan -- as soon as Cassus Fett brings the transports. Unfortunately, the Mandalorian who was marked turned into a rakghouls and quickly began biting others, transforming them faster than usual. Worse, these rakghouls were smarter, could use weapons and basilisk war droids.

As a result, it was Mandalorian fighting against Mandalorian. Cassus' fleet arrived in orbit, wondering what was going on. Zayne contacted Cassus about the plague. Cassus had good reasons to not trust him, as he was part of the group who tried to kill him. But Zayne insisted they were people and told him to survey first and not land.

A new owner
Carrick was then captured by Pulsipher, to determine the Talisman's secrets. But the Talisman wanted a Jedi and lashed at the Padawan. Pulsipher tried to get the Talisman back but his rakghouls soon turned on him. Zayne, wanting to save the galaxy but Celeste took the fall and became the Talisman's new wearer, where she makes contact with the spirit of Karness Muur, the Talisman's creator. Blinded by the dark side, Celeste began the extermination of all Mandalorians. Zayne soon convinced her that she was doing the Sith's work, not the organization she works for. He enclosed her in the oubliette of the Sith Dreypa, sealing the Talisman's influence. This made the rakghouls attack everything in sight, including themselves.

Conclusion
Zayne and Gryph escaped on the Moomo Williwaw, just as Fett destroyed Jebble's surface with nuclear missiles, reenacting a previous event.

Aftermath
It would be thousands of years before any Sentient set foot on Jebble. Miners discovered the undamaged oubliette two thousand five hundred years later.
