Attack on Ska Gora and Skal'nas's trap

25,792 BBYExact dateLast checked: 23 October 2026

Xesh proposed killing Skal'nas so that the Rakatan generals would turn on one another, but the Je'daii strike team was ambushed and captured beneath the Rakatan fortress.

Description

By 25,792 BBY the Rakata had firmly established themselves in the system, and Predor Skal'nas's headquarters was located on Ska Gora. The former Force Hound Xesh, trained by the Rakata and familiar with their ways from the inside, used this training to locate the predor's base: he reckoned that eliminating Skal'nas would force his generals to fight among themselves for primacy. The strike force was small: several Je'daii led by Daegen Lok and Sek'nos Rath aboard a Shikaakwan gunship, accompanied by Hunter-class fighters and Fo-V craft. However, the Rakatan forces, which included carnivorous raiders and one Force Hound, were already waiting for the attackers. The ambush turned into a rout. Many Je'daii were captured and confined in tanks in an underground chamber beneath the Rakatan fortress; victory went to the Infinite Empire. The name of the clash itself is conventional, since it is not named in the sources.
