Duel at The Home

The Duel at The Home took place in Darth Vectivus's mansion at The Home at the beginning of the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War. It was here the the Dark Lady of the Sith convinced Jedi Knight Jacen Solo to become a Sith and save a Galaxy in turmoil. Nelani Dinn, a Jedi present while Lumiya corrupted Jacen, tried to save him by engaging Lumiya in a duel. Jacen the received a Force Vision and decided that Lumiya was right and killed Nelani.

Background
"I used them as a test for you. Sith, like Jedi, have to determine the fates of others. Unlike Jedi, they know that sometimes this means sacrificing one so that twenty might live. I had to find out whether you understood that. And you do"

- Lumiya to Jacen Solo

After Aidel Saxan was assassinated, Jacen was given Tassels found by his sister Jaina Solo. Jacen felt a special connection to these tassels so he traveled with his informal apprentice Ben Skywalker to Lorrd to discover their meaning. Once at Lorrd they met up with Jacen's former apprentice Nelani Dinn. Nelani informed them that Dr. Heilan Rotham could help with the tassels. As the Dr. began translating them they seemed to be encoded with Sith philosophy. Jacen was particularly moved by the passage He will strengthen himself through pain. It was a possible reference to his experience with the Embrace of Pain. It was almost as if the tassels were describing Jacen. As time went on, random terrorist incidents occurred with people influenced by a force ghost. At each situation, Jacen used aggressive and extreme methods to deal with them. These events turned out to be Lumiya testing Jacen on if he would treat such situations like a Sith. Later Ben found a shuttle that escaped from Toraz Station which led to a woman named Brisha Syo. When Brisha was captured, she refused to cooperate unless Jacen came with her to The Home. Intrigued by the tassels the woman claimed to leave specifically for him, Jacen agreed. Ben and Nelani believed it may be a trap, but agreed to go with him anyway. Brisha who was actually Lumiya, took the three Jedi back to her asteroid home and told them that it was the lair of a Sith Lord called Darth Vectivus. The four of them went down to the caverns to confront Vectivus, where Lumiya separated them. Ben and Nelani battled Force ghosts created by Lumiya, while Jacen and Lumiya continued to the lower levels to confront the Sith.
