Biography[]
Attack on The Finest Hour[]
A Corellian Cruiser named The Finest Hour was on its way back to Coruscant in order to meet up with Yoda. Skelldon and his droid IG-86 were informed by their employer, Darth Wraddiqus, to invade the cruiser and kill all aboard. He first killed Alpha One, who tried to alert the crew on the presence of his soon-to-be-killer. He then invaded the corridors and attacked both Alpha Two and Alpha Three. The ship's captain and famed Corellian General Yoakido arrived just in time to find Alpha Two and Alpha Three be gunned down. He pulled out his sword, threw back his cape, and attacked Skelldon. After an intense fight, Yoakido leaped towards Skelldon to deliver a killing blow, but failed and was held at gunpoint. Skelldon gave him one last order: to turn around and see the face of his true killer. Yoakido turned around and was shot in the forehead. IG-86 headed to the control room and killed both Alpha Leader and the co-pilot. Skelldon shortly arrived and witnessed an escape pod fleeing to Nar Shaddaa. The pod contained both the survivors Ben Yoakido, son of General Yoakido, and Brent Rhea. Skelldon stormed the whole deck with anger to search for any survivors, but found only the corpses of all those he and IG-86 killed.
Skelldon kills General Yoakido.
Punishment[]
After returning to their fleet, Skelldon was immediately grabbed by two of his brutes and taken to the quarters of Darth Wraddiqus to be punished. IG-86 was in charge of tracking down the survivors on Nar Shaddaa and informing their spies to make ready of the capture.
