Biography[]
Duel aboard the Antaeus[]
During the Vidious Campaign, Luke and Ben Skywalker would eventually tail Darth Vidious back to the Protectorate's command ship, the Antaeus. The two boarded with the Jade Shadow and tracked the Dark Lord to the Antaeus's bridge where he held Jaina Solo Fel captive. Although Jaina managed to use the force to free her lightsaber from Darth Vidious's belt, Vidious caught it and impaled her with it, killing her and sparking a duel between the Skywalkers and himself.
The longer the duel progressed the more apparent it became to Ben and Darth Vidious that Luke's heart was giving out. Luke passed on and became one with the force releasing explosions of Force Energy that shredded Darth Vidious's armor. Ben took advantage of Darth Vidious's injuries and moved in for a kill, but was stopped by Luke's spirit which warned Ben that he was angry which was causing him to become sloppy and that he was dangerously close to giving into the dark side. Ben heeded his father's warning and left a battered and nearly broken Darth Vidious alone on the Antaeus's bridge, but not before retrieving his father's lightsaber. Ben would destroy the Antaeus's cloaking device and alert Emperor Jagged Fel to the turn of events.
Reassignment[]
By 51 ABY the Jedi Council had reassigned Ben Skywalker with the task of guarding the door to the Jedi Council Chambers so that he would have time to come to terms with his father's death. Ben would let Allana Solo enter the Council Chambers during a meeting so that she could inform them of Leia Organa Solo's death which had caused a shift in the Force. Grand Master Kyle Katarn assigned Allana Solo as Ben Skywalker's padawan and ordered them both to go investigate Xerxes for a Protectorate presence.
