A skirmish took place at the spaceport of Osou city on the Outer Rim Territories planet Genbara. Two days after a former Sith known as the Ronin defended a village from a bandit raid and killed the bandits' leader Kouru, he arrived at Osou and discovered his face strewn on "Wanted" posters. The posters depicting the Ronin's likeness claimed that he was a Sith and a bandit who had attacked the village for months, which in fact described Kouru. After defending the village, the Ronin showed his crimson lightsaber to the villagers, thus exposing himself as an apparent Sith. Because the Sith were the most hated enemies of the Empire, a bounty was placed on the Ronin afterwards.[1]
After the Ronin arrived in Osou, bounty hunters searched for him as he hid in the shadows. Two bounty hunters in a landspeeder nearly caught up to the Ronin when Kouru, who had been resurrected from the dead, appeared and threw the landspeeder into a crowd of bounty hunters, causing mass chaos. She stealthy appeared three meters from the Ronin and used telekinesis to steal one of the Ronin's lightsabers. The undead Sith engaged the Ronin in a lightsaber duel, and he narrowly managed to escape her.[1]
