Battle of Nerezza

"Wipe them out! All of them."

- Jasca Ducato

Having discovered the Sith Temple on Nerezza Jedi Master Pantene requested from The Soiyo a Jedi assault force to be sent to the main entrence of the Sith complex. Within an hour two hundred Jedi had gathered at the entrance to the Sith Temple and prepared to enter the complex.

The Battle
Ordering the assault the Jedi charged the Grand Entrence of the Sith Temple and swamped the Sith followers gaurding the path. From the prisoners the Jedi learned that the Dark Lord of the Sith had recently arrived at the Temple and had predicted the attack from the Jedi&mdash; preperations had been made for the asault.

Undettered the Jedi pressed onwards and before long began to encounter increasing Sith resistance but continued to charge forward. During a particularly brutal engagement the Jedi found themselves being seperated from one-another down seperate pathways within the maze of corridors. The Sith used this to their advantage and began to strike down many of the Jedi, including several Jedi Masters.

Soon the Jedi onslaught which had, until now, seemed unstoppable, began to waiver and was soon halted complete. Many of the Jedi senseing no need to carry on the fight surrendered, the rest had to be ordered to surrender by their Masters. Jasca Ducato too had been fought to a standstill, although none of the Sith had bested him in lightsaber combat he could see that he would eventually be defeated through sheer weight of number and as such surrenered. The one condition of his surrender was that he be brought before the Dark Lord.

Meeting the Dark Lord
"I will never betray the Alliance&mdash;again."

- Jasca Ducato to Lord Guerreiro

As per his terms of surrender Jasca Ducato was brought before the Dark Lord of the temple, Lord Guerreiro. The introductions were short and uneducating because Lord Guerreiro was determined to discover the reason behind the Jedi presence of Nerezza. Jasca Ducato refused to tell he Dark Lord of the Jedi mission to Nerezza or of the archeological expediton that was taking place on the planets ruins. Undoubtedly they crew upon The Soiyo had sensed the Jedi defeat and had removed the archeological team from the planet's surface.

For his refusal to tell Lord Guerreiro anything Jesca Ducato and the Jedi assault force was imprisoned in the Sith Temples cells.
