Baltizaar
the Jedi Knights were dispatched to resolve a dispute on this planet, shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The people of Baltizaar had been attacked by the Bando Gora cult, and pleaded with the Senate for assistance. Count Dooku refused to lead the mission, claiming that the Jedi were being used indiscriminantly by the Galactic Senate to settle such problems, and he left the Jedi Order. The Jedi task force which was dispatched to Baltizaar was decimated by the Bando Gora, with only a handful surviving to return to Coruscant. The rest were either killed or imprisoned. Among the survivors of the fighting was the Dark Jedi Nikkos Tyris, who retreated to Suarbi to recover.
