Mission to Mustafar (Death Watch)/Legends

"We request an audience with your leaders.''" "''It'll be your funeral."

- Darth Maul and Ziton Moj

In 20 BBY during the Clone Wars, the Death Watch traveled to the volcanic planet of Mustafar to meet with Black Sun leaders with their new Sith allies Darth Maul and Savage Opress.

Prelude
In the aftermath of their disastrous duel with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi on Florrum and a skirmish with Hondo Ohnaka and his pirate gang, Darth Maul and Savage Opress managed to flee the destruction of their ship in an escape pod. The two, minus one cybernetic leg and an arm respectively, soon lost consciousness in the pod. Later, the Death Watch found the pod and cut a hole to get inside. Pre Vizsla and Bo-Katan entered to find the two brothers. Vizsla found Maul's lightsaber and said that if the two were enemies of the Jedi Order, they were his allies. Vizsla then had the two taken away for treatment.

When Maul awoke, Vizsla asked what the two were. Maul stated they were Sith Lords, and when Vizsla asked if the two worked for Count Dooku, Maul stated that they served no one and that the two were brothers, the true lords of the Sith. When he said that their ship had been destroyed by Kenobi, Vizsla and Maul concluded the two had a common enemy. The two then allied with each other and began to plot taking Mandalore for themselves. First, however, they were to rally the Black Sun on Mustafar.

The mission
"A battalion, brother.''" "''They will serve us well."

- Savage Opress and Darth Maul

Upon their arrival on Mustafar, Maul, Opress, Pre Vizsla and Bo-Katan met with Ziton Moj who took them inside the facility to meet with Xomit Grunseit. Moj believed that Maul and his allies would have no chance in successfully recruiting Grunseit. Maul attempted to rally Grunseit to his cause, which Savage enforced by breaking one of the Falleen guard's neck, but the Falleen refused to ally with Maul and mocked him as well as his allies, so he was killed by Opress, who hurled his lightsaber from across a table, which also killed Grunseit's four other leaders.

Aftermath
"It would seem the decision to join us is now yours." "After careful consideration, we will join you."

- Darth Maul and Ziton Moj

Following Grunseit's death, Ziton Moj willingly joined Maul's new army. The Black Sun soldiers at his disposal were absorbed into the collective. They would prove instrumental for the sub sequential takeover and battle of Sundari sometime after the mission.

Prior to their departure from Mustafar, Moj spoke with Opress while the soldiers loaded supplies onto the Death Watch ships. As Maul watched this, Vizsla came behind him and said that their army was complete. But Maul scolded this and said the army was far from complete. Maul said there was one vision, and Vizsla's lacked clarity. He stressed that without a reason to attack Mandalore, their mission was finished before it had begun.
