Massacre on Raydonia

"Brother, what are we doing here? The Jedi won't be this far in the galaxy.''" "''With the galaxy at war, Savage, there is only one way to get the attention of the Jedi. Slaughter of the innocent. Mercilessly and without compromise."

- Savage Opress and Darth Maul

A massacre occurred on the planet Raydonia during the Clone Wars, when heralded the return of the Sith Lord Darth Maul. He and his Nightbrother, Savage Opress sought to draw out the Jedi Master who crippled Maul many years before, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Obi-Wan responded to Maul's message gloating about the killings, but before he could engage Maul in combat, he was knocked out by Opress and taken into their Turtle Tanker. Asajj Ventress also learned of the massacre, and came to Raydonia to claim the bounty on Opress. She snuck aboard their ship as it departed.
