Duel in the Dathomir landing meadow

"You are Grand Master Luke Skywalker.''" "My son, Ben. Our friend, Dyon Stadd." "I am Lord Vius Gaalan, the last man you will ever meet. Much admiration will be accorded me for killing Luke Skywalker. Especially by the family of Lady Rhea, whom you slew." "''No, you aren't, and no, it won't."

- Vius Gaalan and Luke Skywalker, shortly before the duel

This duel took place in a meadow on Dathomir in 43.5 ABY. After a Sith strike team attacked Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben Skywalker, at Sinkhole Station, the team's sole survivor, Sith apprentice Vestara Khai, fled to Dathomir. The Jedi tracked her to the planet, where she sent a hypercomm message to her Sith Tribe to retrieve her. When the Sith arrived, she helped them to capture several Nightsisters, dark side Witches of Dathomir. As the Nightsisters were carried to the main Sith fleet in orbit, one shuttle, including Sith lord Vius Gaalan and 3 Sith Sabers, remained behind to take Khai and one last Nightsister, Halliava Vurse to the fleet. However, the Skywalkers, along with the Force-sensitive Dyon Stadd, found the Sith and engaged them in a duel while Khai was retrieving the Nightsister. She rushed to the Sith's aide, but the Sith Sabers were soon killed and Skywalker overpowered gaalan, who fled in the shuttle. The Jedi then took Khai captive. However, as they left Dathomir, they were confronted by 11 capital class ChaseMaster frigates under the command of High Lord Sarasu Taalon in orbit, and the Jedi, knowing they were outgunned, were forced to comply to the Sith's demands to enter a parking orbit. However, to the Jedi's surprise, the Sith offered to form an alliance to bring down Abeloth, a powerful dark side being.
