Battle of Sarm

c. 36 ABYApproximate dateLast checked: 23 October 2026

Luke Skywalker, together with his wife, his nephew, and other Jedi, attacked the Dark Nest's nest ship to put an end to its queen. In the duel, Mara Jade and Jacen Solo suffered wounds that would have been fatal had the ship not been falling apart under attack. Lomi Plo escaped to Tenupe.

Description

The battle took place in 36 ABY, during the Swarm War between the Killiks and the Chiss. The objective of the expedition was Lomi Plo — queen of the Dark Nest, who hid by means of an ability to remain unnoticed even by those sensitive to the Force. Luke Skywalker led several Jedi to the Gorog nest ship at Sarm. He himself confronted Lomi Plo inside the ship, while his wife Mara Jade and nephew Jacen Solo fought the forces of the Dark Nest outside. Both received grievous wounds from the queen, which would have proved fatal had the nest ship not begun to break apart under the Jedi's attacks. Lomi Plo managed to escape and took refuge on Tenupe; the surviving Jedi, including Skywalker, Mara Jade, and Jacen Solo, also left the doomed ship. Thus the clash at Sarm did not end the hunt but merely moved it to another world, where the Swarm War continued.
