Capture of the Jedi shuttle

"No way! How did he catch up with us so quickly?!  "We shouldn't be too surprised. Fauth’s always had a way with tracking his enemies."

- Anhri Claynes and Rend Arcturius In the early days of the Fauth State conquest, a Jedi shuttle was captured while on a scouting mission to the Unknown Regions planet of Aranya. Carrying aboard it a contingent of stormtroopers, as well as the Jedi Rend Arcturius and his apprentice, Anhri Claynes, it aimed to confirm the location of a legendary holocron that both parties in the conflict were currently pursuing. However, Fauthian forces managed to detect their trip and rushed to intercept them, culminating in a small-scale chase across that area of space, a chase that concluded with the arrival of the Ziz, which halted the Jedi's attempt to escape.

As Fauthian troopers began to board, Arcturius insisted that Claynes escape to the planet below while he held off their attackers. Overriding her objections, he managed to have her leave the shuttle via escape pod as he confronted dark side warlord Raixan Fauth himself. An attempted resistance by the stormtroopers aboard was cut short, with all of their number being massacred in exchange for comparatively minuscule losses on the opposing side.

Sensing that Arcturius and company had detected the holocron, Fauth attempted to have his troops capture him, but was forced to incapacitate the Jedi himself when he managed to slay his would-be captors, before ordering that he be brought aboard the Ziz and imprisoned, to await further questioning.

Initially unbeknownst to the warlord, however, Claynes had managed to make her way to the planet's surface, later allying with the Force-sensitive Calen Solayr and hyperspace explorer Skyric Worrsayn to escape.
