Attack on Refnar

The Attack on Refnar was a battle in the late stages of the Great Jedi Purge. Jedi Knight Sarna Naa was discovered in hiding on the planet, and the Inquisitorius was dispatched to eliminate her, lead by Sarna's former padawan, Ani De'lifu.

Backgroud
In the waning hours of the Clone Wars, Chancellor Palpatine enacted Order 66, which directed that all Jedi were to be summarily executed. While the vast majority of Jedi were killed early on in the purge, some managed to survive, one of which being Sarna Naa, who fled Coruscant to the remote Outer Rim world of Refnar. Along with fellow Jedi Joam'amah, Sarna raised her children and hid her true nature from the colonists. Joam'amah eventually departed the planet with their son, leaving Sarna to raise her daughter. Sarna, though careful to hide her identity, was eventually discovered after using the force to prevent a roof from collapsing on a villager during an earthquake. While most colonists were thankful, one, fearing the retaliation if the Empire were to discover they were harboring a Jedi, contacted the local sector forces, who then contacted the Empire.

Prelude to Conflict
Outraged that one of their own had called the Empire down on them, the colonists warned Sarna of the impending raid. Sarna's daughter, Asan-a, was sent away before the fighting began. The day after, an Imperial Star Destroyer arrived in the system, and the colonists began arming themselves for battle.

Initial Imperial Incursion
At the outset of the battle, a small Imperial force of five troopers and the Inquisitor landed and approached the town. The Inquisitor demanded the location of the Jedi, and threatened one of the colonists with death. Instead of the expected reaction, this prompted several colonists to jump out from pre-planned ambushes, forcing the Imperials back. The momentary victory was soon met with strafing runs from TIE fighters and precision bombardments on defensive positions. Soon after, the main Imperial force landed and advanced on the town

The Battle Begins
Upon the Imperials reaching the outskirts, the colonists activated their vintage B2 sentry droids, catching the Imperials off guard, and buying more time for the town. However, this victory was not to last, as the Inquisitor arrived, and made short work of most of the droids. The Inquisitor lead the charge into the town center, brushing aside any resistance, and holding several civilians hostage in order to draw Sarna out. This attempt succeeded, and the Jedi revealed herself in the town square.

The Duel
Ani'delifu and Sarna entered an intense confrontation, but neither moved at first. Ani ragefully accused her master of abandoning her, and claimed that she was a failure of a teacher. Sarna did not react at first, leading Ani to threaten her lover, and her children. Shocked to learn of the Empire's awareness of her family, Sarna was even more surprised to learn that Ani had kept her secret, if only to gain the satisfaction of hunting them herself. Fearing for the safety of her family, Sarna drew her blade, and was charged by the rageful inquisitor. Sarna, though rusty, was still able to easily avoid Ani's strikes, as she was the one who trained her. As the duel went on, Sarna began losing the upper hand. While she was a skilled knight, her age and her lack of practice began to take their toll, forcing Sarna to end the duel quickly. In a single motion, Sarna sidestepped Ani's charge, and ran her saber through the inquisitor. The duel was over.

The Battle Continues
Without their leader, the Imperials drew back out of the city, buying many of the civilians enough time to flee the area. Sarna, after taking the inquisitor's saber, took her TIE Advanced as well, flying away from the battle, and to an unknown destination. Soon after, the Empire moved back into the city, deploying reinforcements as well as several AT-ST walkers. After three hours of fighting, the remaining defenders surrendered to the Empire, and were captured

Aftermath
Immediately after the battle. the Empire razed the colony, seizing all valuables and burning the rest. An Imperial outpost was established on the world near the ruins of the village. Sarna Naa's whereabouts are still unknown to this day. The outpost eventually was converted to become part of a Project Nightshade base.
