Hunt for the Decimator

The Hunt for the Decimator is the historical name given to the campaign against Confederacy general Sev'rance Tann, led by Jedi Knight Echuu Shen-Jon.

The campaign began almost simultaneously with the Clone Wars. Echuu was first drawn to fight Sev'rance after his pupil, Stam Reath, was struck down by the general during the Battle of Geonosis.

Shortly after this, Sev'rance lead a brilliant campaign which resulted in the capture of the Republic's secret weapon, the Decimator, from the research facilities on Eredenn, and the stealing of the activation codes for the machine from Alaris Prime.

Using the weapon, Sev'rance took Sarapin, killing Jedi Knight Jor Drakas, and sending shockwaves through the entire Republic. To deal with this grave threat, Jedi Master Mace Windu dispatched Echuu Shen-Jon, his new Padawan, Naat Reath and a battalion of clone troopers to recapture Mt. Corvast, the prime energy collection facility on Sarapin. General Echuu was successful in this battle, proving himself to be a tactical planner on par with Sev'rance.

From Sarapin, Echuu led his forces in pursuit of Sev'rance, eventually tracking her to Krant. There, he seized a Trade Federation facility on one of the moons of Krant, which was to be used as a staging ground for his invasion of the planet. Unfortunately, Naat Reath was captured by Sev'rance, and Echuu began to descend further into the darkness that had been growing within him since the death of Naat's brother.

Pursuing Sev'rance to Krant itself, Echuu fought his way through several large CIS bases, taking the Decimator facilities and reaching the stronghold of Sev'rance herself. The Separatist general issued an ultimatum- Echuu would fight her alone, or Naat would be terminated. Echuu accepted the challenge, and succeeded in defeating Sev'rance, putting an end to the campaign. Echuu bade Naat return to the Jedi Council, whilst he himself went into exile.
