This duel took place in a landing meadow on Dathomir in 43.5 ABY. After a Sith strike team's failed attack on Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, the two Jedi tracked the strike team's sole survivor, Sith apprentice Vestara Khai, to Dathomir. When members of her Sith Tribe arrived to retrieve her, she helped them to capture several Nightsisters, a group of Dathomiri darksiders, who were then taken to the Sith fleet in orbit. Lord Viun Gaalan and three Sith Sabers remained behind to take Khai and one last Nightsister, Halliava Vurse, to the fleet. However, the Skywalkers and the Force-sensitive Dyon Stadd arrived and attacked the Sith while Khai went to retrieve Vurse.

Luke Skywalker engaged Gaalan in a duel, while Stadd and the younger Skywalker took on the other three Sith. Stadd shot and killed one of the Sith, but another attacked Stadd while Gaalan's aide engaged Ben Skywalker. Working together, Stadd and Skywalker were able to quickly kill both of their opponents. Meanwhile, as the elder Skywalker forced Gaalan backward, Khai arrived on the scene. Taking advantage of the distraction she provided, Gaalan fled in his shuttle, leaving the Jedi to take Khai captive. As the Skywalkers left Dathomir with Khai, however, they were confronted by eleven ChaseMaster frigates under the command of the Sith High Lord Sarasu Taalon. Taalon proposed that they form an alliance in order to bring down Abeloth, a powerful dark side being, and the Jedi accepted the offer.
