Duel on Lenico Colony Blue

"Exal Kressh. You are a traitor to your blood and your Empire." "You'd kill me for that? The Dark Council's hound against a girl just out of stasis. Good luck trying."

- Teneb Kel and Exal Kressh

During the Great Galactic War, a duel between Teneb Kel and Exal Kressh occurred on Lenico Colony Blue, a hospital space station orbiting the world of Lenico IV. Kel, a disgraced Sith apprentice, was tasked by the Dark Council of the Sith Empire to hunt down and eliminate Kressh, the Sith Emperor's former apprentice. Kressh had deserted the Empire over a month prior and began to leak confidential Imperial intelligence to the Sith's adversaries in the war, the Galactic Republic. Hoping to bring an end to her treason, Kel tracked Kressh to Lenico Colony Blue and found her emerging from a self-induced stasis.

The two quickly entered combat, resulting in extensive damage to the station's medical equipment and structure.
