First Duel on the Anakin Solo

The Duel on the Anakin Solo was a duel between Darth Caedus and Luke Skywalker during the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War.

Prelude
When Luke Skywalker withdrew the Jedi from the Galactic Alliance, Darth Caedus, formerly Jacen Solo, ordered the deaths of all the Jedi on Ossus. Luke sided with the Confederation on Kashyyyk. During the battle, Luke and Jaina Solo went to board the Anakin Solo to ambush Caedus and kill him, and possibly even destroy the Anakin Solo. However, Caedus was waiting in his Stealth X, and forced Jaina to fire on her uncle. Believing Luke dead, Caedus returned to the Anakin Solo and tortured Ben Skywalker in the Embrace of Pain, a Yuuzhan Vong torture device that had been used upon Caedus during his time with Vergere, and part of the reason for Caedus's fall to the dark side.

The duel
Luke however, was not dead; He had infiltrated the Anakin Solo and caught Caedus unaware. Luke then attacked his own nephew in an attempt to save his son. The lightsaber fight was brutal and both Caedus and Luke were badly injured. Caedus was no match for Luke, but gained the upper hand when Luke became distracted by Ben. Caedus then strangled Luke with a Yuuzhan Vong vine with the intent to kill Luke, but was saved when Caedus was stabbed in the back by Ben. Horrified by his son's dark side actions and Caedus's wanton brutality, Luke took Ben and escaped the Anakin Solo, thus sparing Caedus his life.

Aftermath
After the battle of Kashyyyk, Caedus felt he was truly alone as nearly everyone in his family had turned against him, just as Count Dooku had during the Clone Wars after meeting Yoda on Vjun. Caedus admitted that he would kill anyone who stood between him and his daughter, including Tenel Ka.

Caedus would eventually build a new lightsaber and use a traditional red Sith crystal, giving his blade a bloodshine glow after losing his old lightsaber at the duel between him and Luke Skywalker on Kashyyyk. Caedus's extended immersion in the dark side as a Sith Lord later appeared as sulfuric eye scleras and dark lines upon his face.
