However, Operation Influx failed and most of the Jedi strike team including Treece were slain due to an attack by Odionate forces. The only survivor was the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt. Due to his role in contacting the Jedi and Odion, Skodo was tortured to death by Daiman with Force lightning. His body was then dumped in Jenith's plaza as a warning to the public. Palladane managed to find Skodo's transmitter and contacted Odion, telling him that the baradium mining operations on Chelloa were unsuccessful and that his homeworld was not worth invading. However, Daiman had substituted Skodo's transmitter for one of his own and had guards nearby. Palladane was apprehended and tortured but was rescued by Kerra Holt.
