Attack on Nek Bwua'tu

"What have you done with Admiral Bwua'tu?"

- One of the assassins, pretending to be a psychotic Jedi

This ambush took place on Coruscant in 44 ABY. After spending an evening at Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala's private apartments, Admiral Nek Bwua'tu decided to leave at three-fourteen in the morning to speak with acting Jedi Grand Master Kenth Hamner. As he walked through a transparisteel walkway on Coruscant, however, he was beset by two people who appeared to be psychotic Jedi, as they seemed to believe that he was an impostor of the "real" Nek Bwua'tu. One of the Jedi ignited a green-bladed lightsaber, and Bwua'tu quickly pulled out a blaster and fired on his assailants, even while pressing an emergency signal in his vest pocket and diving over the walkway's railing.

The Jedi deflected his bolts and jumped after him, but Bwua'tu managed to dive out of the way of the Jedi's attack. He kicked up, catching the Jedi behind the knee and causing his knee to buckle. He raised his blaster to fire at the attacker, but the Jedi sliced off his arm and brought the lightsaber around for another strike. Bwua'tu swung his remaining arm around to deflect the swing, however, and sent the lightsaber flying across the walkway floor. The Jedi jumped after it, but Bwua'tu quickly grabbed him in a chokehold and bit the man's shoulder.

The man managed to grab the lightsaber, however, and struck at Bwua'tu over his shoulder, hitting his back with the blade. Bwua'tu released his throat and pinned down the man's lightsaber arm, forcing him to drop the lightsaber, but the man punched him in the head and quickly escaped from his grasp. Bwua'tu then realized that the fact that he had been able to survive this long meant that his attackers were not actually psychotic Jedi, but people pretending to be insane Jedi. Bwua'tu quickly grabbed his lost arm and fired the blaster in it at the attacker's face, killing him. However, the man fell on top of him, his lightsaber striking Bwua'tu's belly, and the Admiral spasmed and lost consciousness.
