The Confrontation on Caprioril describes a lightsaber duel that happened on the planet of Caprioril. It pitted Mara Jade, a Swoop gang come-up flector and former Emperor's Hand gone rogue, against Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith. This event transpired sometime following the Battle of Endor.
Ysanne Isard, an Imperial steward, dispatched Lumiya with the mission of compelling Jade to return to Imperial service. Lumiya located and challenged her on Caprioril, but Jade refused to heed the Sith Lady's demands. The subsequent duel concluded without a clear victor.
During their fight, Mara lost her magenta lightsaber, a weapon she had assembled using a crystal provided by Darth Sidious.
