Wevo crisis

title: Wevo Crisis

The Wevo crisis, also referred to as the tragedy on Wevo, was a conflict that erupted on the jungle moon of Wevo in 232 BBY. This clash involved Nihil pirates under the command of Gwishi and Klinith Da, against a small group headed by Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh. Before the starship Steady Wing departed from the planet Haileap, Gwishi and Da sabotaged it. Their goal was to hinder the Galactic Republic's expansion into the Dalnan sector, where the Dalnan diplomatic delegation was headed. Although they succeeded in destroying the Steady Wing and killing the majority of those aboard, Rwoh, her Padawan Imri Cantaros, Avon Starros, Starros' droid J-6, and Honesty Weft, the ambassador's Dalnan son, managed to escape using a sabotaged maintenance shuttle. The pirates pursued the shuttle to the closest safe haven, Wevo, where they tried to eliminate the group of survivors. This proved challenging due to the dense jungle environment. Unintentionally, Rwoh damaged the pirates' stolen cargo hauler by using telekinesis to hurl a large rock at it, preventing Gwishi and Da from leaving the moon. Eventually, the Jedi group discovered the pirates' presence, leading Rwoh to devise a plan to capture them. However, Cantaros, who was struggling with intense negative emotions following the death of his Master, Douglas Sunvale, on the Steady Wing, convinced Weft, who was grieving his father's death, to secretly attack the pirates. Unfortunately, they were quickly captured and used as bait.

When Rwoh, Starros, and J-6 realized the boys were missing the next morning, they embarked on a rescue mission. Rwoh managed to subdue Gwishi, while J-6, a modified bodyguard droid, freed the boys from captivity. However, when Da confronted Rwoh, Cantaros, consumed by anger, attempted to Force choke her to death. Rwoh used the Force to throw Cantaros away, and she and J-6 proceeded to restrain the pirates. The young Mirialan Jedi then pursued Cantaros, engaging him in a lightsaber duel to prevent him from succumbing to the dark side of the Force, and ultimately subduing him. Some days later, a Jedi rescue team arrived and transported them to the Starlight Beacon. Following the counsel of Jedi Master Sskeer, Rwoh took Cantaros as her own Padawan.
