The Shadowstone Affair, also known as Operation Shadowstone, refers to the theft and seizure of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Shadowstone on Year 4 Day 273. King Eldrik Kuraine of the Falleen Federation orchestrated the starship's capture with the aid of Moff Vir Calder, an Imperial defector. Planning months in advance, Calder requisitioned hundreds of Battle Droids and strategically positioned them aboard the vessel prior to its scheduled departure for maneuvers. Before entering hyperspace, Moff Calder altered the flight path of the Shadowstone to emerge in the Beta system, far behind enemy lines, and reprogrammed the droids to attack the crew.

While the droid insurrection occurred, Falleen assault teams boarded the Imperial Star Destroyer via its two docking bays. These boarding parties, led by Lord General Squall Chitose of the Falleen Army, as well as Keir Santage, Ralgarrch, and Finn Setanta, stormed critical areas of the ship, such as engineering and the armory. Overwhelmed by Moff Calder's battle droids and the Falleen attackers, the remnants of the Imperial crew made a final stand at the bridge, but the combined forces of Chitose and Santage defeated them.

During the assault, Xarius Tylger, a Black Sun double agent serving in the Falleen Federation military, attempted to scuttle the vessel with explosives. King Kuraine, aboard the battle station Libra, observed Tylger planting the explosives via security cameras and remotely ordered Xarius' battle droids to kill him. Although severely wounded by the droids, Tylger initiated the countdown for the explosives to destroy the ship, but Chitose prevented the destruction of the ship by executing Tylger and disarming the bombs.

While the Falleen forces secured the Star Destroyer, Sith Lords Emperor Greyson Uebles and Adric Simms used a Force wormhole to infiltrate Shadowstone's lower decks. Dispatching nearby battle droids with their lightsabers, the Sith planted explosives on one of the starship's reactors. Joined by an escaping Imperial Security Bureau Director Siather Det'aan, the trio wormholed off the ship as one of the reactors exploded. Despite the blast, the damaged Star Destroyer remained mostly intact and fell into the possession of the Falleen kingdom.

After the vessel's capture, the Falleen personnel and hired mercenaries celebrated in the Star Destroyer's mess hall. Most of the boarding party disembarked via a docking ring to a connected GR-75 Medium Transport. Moff Calder formally presented the Shadowstone to King Kuraine, who, in turn, gifted the vessel to Hapan officer Alex Tylger. Following the Shadowstone's capture by the Falleen kingdom, the Galactic Empire attacked the Falleen stronghold in the Battle of Beta and assassinated Kuraine. Several of the Federation's personnel and mercenaries who led the assault on the Shadowstone later formed the nucleus of the pirate outfit known as Eidola.

Background and origins

King Eldrik Kuraine

Moff Vir Calder

The origins of Operation Shadowstone began amid the political intrigue and shifting allegiances within King Tholin Dur'aak's Falleen kingdom. By Year 3 Day 324, Dur'aak wearied of the Falleen crown and ceded most of his burdensome responsibilities as sovereign to his trusted aides, Prince Jace Meridan and Lord Seneschal Aves Larkin. When a public scandal ensued due to Larkin's backroom dealings with Prince Qel Dar's Black Sun crime syndicate and his wife Acria's much-publicized adultery, Larkin resigned in disgrace, and Meridan became the principal administrator of the kingdom's affairs.

Conducting an audit of royal accounts, Prince Meridan informed King Dur'aak that the Falleen kingdom's dwindling coffers required the royal court to take drastic measures to save the kingdom. Several weeks later, on Year 4 Day 72, Dur'aak abdicated in favor of Eldrik Kuraine, the wealthy Director of Astralwerks Engineering. Dur'aak hoped that Kuraine's vast fortune would financially stabilize the impoverished kingdom. During this transitional period, Meridan assumed the day-to-day operations of Astralwerks Engineering, a shipwright firm that became a nationalized subsidiary of the Falleen kingdom.

Ascending the Falleen throne, King Kuraine shifted the galaxy's strategic balance of power by allying with Supreme Commander Davvyk Lysander's ragtag Rebel Alliance against Emperor Greyson Uebles' Galactic Empire. This decision polarized the Federation citizenry into pro-Alliance and anti-Empire parties. This polarization likely motivated Prince Meridan to plot a coup d'état with Lord Dur'aak against Kuraine and return the Federation to its former neutrality. Despite the Imperial occupation of the Falleen homeworld, Prince Meridan hoped to befriend Emperor Uebles in order to secure the liberation of his people. Meridan and his blood-brother Tholin Dur'aak viewed themselves and the Tri-Star Alliance — consisting of the Falleen Federation, King Andrew Stayfyre's Hapes Consortium, and President Dunkler Klerus' New Anzat Order — as a third power-bloc beholden to neither the Empire nor the Rebels.

Falleen soldiers and mercenaries carefully planned the assault on the ISD Shadowstone.

Moff Calder garrisoned squads of dormant battle droids throughout the starship.

While Prince Meridan and Lord Dur'aak conspired to overthrow King Kuraine and restore the strategic balance of power to the galaxy, Kuraine envisioned a grand plan to humiliate the Galactic Empire and etch the name of the Falleen kingdom forever in the annals of galactic history. He planned to steal an Imperial Star Destroyer and repurpose the stolen vessel as his flagship. He purportedly enticed Imperial officers in the Fakir Sector to defect, notably Moff Vir Calder, an Imperial officer within Emperor Uebles' high command. Previously the Director of Imperial Research & Development for many years, the overthrow of Emperor Charon by Uebles and Vodo Bonias had shaken Calder's faith in their New Order, and he wished to defect to humiliate Bonias and Uebles.

Plotting for many months in advance to steal the ISD Shadowstone, King Eldrik Kuraine and Moff Vir Calder planned to utilize overwhelming numbers of remote-controlled battle droids to subdue the Imperial crew. To accomplish this plan, Calder requested the Imperial High Command to authorize his requisition of the droids. Surprised by Calder's request, Emperor Uebles became suspicious, and the Imperial High Command began to suspect that Calder might soon defect.

Kuraine's soldiers and a motley band of mercenaries strategized for weeks in advance the boarding action to seize the Shadowstone. Squall Chitose, commander of the Falleen Army, and Keir Santage, a freelance mercenary, devised a plan based on their earlier theft of an Imperial Star Galleon in Year 4. They planned to capture the Shadowstone by focusing their attack on key areas, such as engineering and the armory, while bypassing sections of lesser importance. Their plan culminated in a combined assault by all boarding parties converging on the bridge.

On Year 4 Day 273, Moff Calder boarded the ISD Shadowstone and gave the order to enter hyperspace to join the Imperial starfleet massing outside the Beta system for their upcoming attack on the Falleen stronghold. Unknown to the Shadowstone's Imperial crew, Calder altered the hyperspace coordinates to ensure the starship would exit adjacent to Kuraine's Libra battle station and be encircled by enemy forces.

When the ISD Shadowstone exited hyperspace in the Beta system, Kuraine, seated in the control room of the Falleen Federation's Libra battle station, initialized its tractor beams. The Imperial bridge crew felt a shudder as multiple tractor beams from the nearby Libra space station locked onto the Star Destroyer. Gazing out of the bridge viewport, the Imperial bridge crew saw an armada of unidentified starships rapidly approaching them. Realizing their situation, the weapons officer, Lieutenant Commander Aleksei Stahl, requested Moff Calder to allow him to open fire, but Calder ordered him to stand down.

Droid Insurrection

"Moff Calder has sided with the enemy... Seal all blast doors, send out a distress signal, and lock down this ship!"

— Commodore Vladimir Edinton, ISD Shadowstone's First Officer, to the Imperial bridge crew – Year 4 Day 273

In smoke-filled corridors, the battle droids controlled by King Kuraine and Moff Calder overwhelmed the stormtroopers, as well as executed all prisoners.

With the Shadowstone caught in a tractor beam by the battle station Libra, Moff Calder moved into a corner of the bridge and stood behind a phalanx of battle droids. As the enemy ships grew closer, Calder remained silent and refused to raise the vessel's shields. Commodore Vladimir Edinton, the ship's first officer, transmitted a distress call across the Imperial Holonet and instructed the crew to defend key areas. Emergency klaxons sounded as personnel rushed to seek refuge in their quarters and the mess area. Squads of stormtroopers ran to cover critical areas of the starship, including the bridge, engineering, armory, and docking bays.

Suspicious of Calder's behavior, Edinton gathered the other bridge officers and spoke in hushed tones. "Moff Calder has not given the order to engage the attackers," he whispered. "Treachery is afoot." Ordering the nearby stormtroopers to seize Moff Calder, Edinton sent a ship-wide emergency broadcast via his comlink. "Our esteemed Moff Calder has sided with the enemy," Edinton declared. "Weaponry, target their shield quadrants! Engineering, hack into major systems!"

Anticipating this response, Moff Calder initiated an insurrection by the droids under his command. As a modified droideka shield enveloped Calder like a shimmering silver bubble, he keyed his wrist comlink, and the dormant battle droids sprang to life. Chaos ensued as Calder's droids attacked Imperial crew members on all decks. On the bridge, Sergeant Fenix Stormguard rallied his stormtroopers and engaged Moff Calder's battle droids. A fierce laserfight occurred. The stormtroopers destroyed ten super battle droids but suffered heavy losses — over half of Stormguard's men fell in the first minutes of the droid attack.

At the bridge's helm, Flight Lieutenant Jamilla Nasgar attempted to break free of the Libra's tractor beams, but her evasive maneuvers failed. The tractor beams emitting from the battle station held the Imperial Star Destroyer in place as Falleen and Rebel ships entered the vessel's docking bays. At the bridge's firing control, Lieutenant Commander Aleksei Stahl unleashed a barrage of turbolaser fire at the enemy vessels, but most survived. In engineering, Chief Tarthos Ventiri sealed blast doors and, deep within the ship, Technical Officer Edward "Critical Ed" Tivrusky sliced the mainframe to strip away Moff Calder's access, countering his sabotage and briefly securing control over vital systems.

Falleen Assault

"Behind him lay a couple dozen destroyed droids. With horror, Keir noticed Doug was among them..."

— Keir Santage's battle log recording the death of Doug the Battledroid during the assault – Year 4 Day 273

The battle droids requisitioned by Moff Calder soon overwhelmed the beleaguered Imperial defenders.

After storming the forward and aft docking bays, the Falleen Federation's assault teams led by Squall Chitose and Keir Santage spearheaded the boarding action. As the Falleen, Rebel, and mercenary attackers cut a bloody swath through the parasteel innards of the Shadowstone, the YT-510 light freighter Retaliation, piloted by female Gand known as Siather Det'aan, clandestinely approached the Star Destroyer. As Director of the Imperial Security Bureau, Det'aan had tracked the Shadowstone's flightpath using a homing beacon at the behest of the Imperial High Command.

Slipping through the screen of Falleen starfighters and capital ships swarming around the besieged Star Destroyer, Det'aan transmitted codes allowing her vessel to enter one of the docking bays. The Shadowstone fired its forward turbolasers at Det'aan's pursuers, dealing massive amounts of damage to their shields. Setting down her YT-510 in a docking bay, Det'aan entered the Shadowstone, accompanied by a Super Battle Droid and a Destroyer Droid.

In another docking bay, a Falleen assault team led by Prince Jace Meridan attempted to steal a Sentinel-class landing craft, but several Imperials aboard the shuttle sacrificed themselves in an explosion that destroyed the vessel, incapacitating many droids and Meridan. Meanwhile, the Falleen assault teams led by Chitose, Santage, and Ralgarrch continued to fight towards the Shadowstone's bridge and reached the middle deck. During this chaotic advance, one of Santage's most reliable battle droids, Doug, perished while fighting stormtroopers in the corridors leading to the bridge.

In the last hour of the Shadowstone's capture, Siather Det'aan, an ISB agent, hid in various rooms to avoid the battle droids patrolling the corridors.

Capturing the infirmary on the Star Destroyer's middle deck, Santage rescued an injured female Imperial officer by placing her inside a bacta tank. He also placed another Imperial officer into a tank. In contrast to Santage's clemency, Mark Hornet, a commissioned officer in the Falleen military, executed one Imperial prisoner with a blaster shot to the head. Santage and Chitose then led the Falleen assault teams onward toward the bridge.

With Falleen assault teams reinforcing Calder's battle droids on the bridge, Sergeant Felix Stormguard and his stormtroopers realized they faced a hopeless situation. When Commodore Edinton transmitted to Emperor Uebles that enemies had overrun the ship, Uebles ordered him to hold out as long as possible and revealed his imminent arrival to sabotage the reactor cores. Edinton acknowledged the Emperor's command and prepared himself for his death. As the last of Stormguard's stormtroopers fell, the bridge defenses collapsed.

As the Falleen assault teams overwhelmed the last Imperial holdouts, Edinton led a final charge of his crew towards the corner of the bridge where a phalanx of battle droids protected Calder. "Treason!" Edinton shouted. "Treason! Treason!" he shouted again, even as he fired his last shot. A dozen laser bolts smashed through his torso. With Edinton and the last Imperials lifeless on the bridge floor, the prized ship now belonged in the hands of Moff Calder and King Kuraine.

Attempted Sabotage

Learning of Xarius Tylger planting explosives, Squall Chitose sprinted to his location to kill him.

While the Falleen assault teams secured the ship, Xarius Tylger, one of the Falleen kingdom's incursion party and a double agent for Dark Prince Qel Dar's Black Sun crime syndicate, began carrying out a sabotage mission to destroy the ship and prevent its capture by Kuraine. Unseen by his Falleen comrades, Tylger began planting explosives in the corridors of the middle deck. As Tylger planted the bombs, Det'aan clandestinely ascended from the detention level to the middle deck via the turbo-lift and spied upon Tylger's actions.

Seated in the control room of the Libra battle station and watching the security camera feeds from the Shadowstone, Kuraine observed Xarius Tylger planting the explosives. Deducing Xarius' intentions, Kuraine remotely instructed Xarius' battle droids to terminate him. Seconds later, the battle droids opened fire on Xarius. A wounded Xarius crumpled to the floor with the detonator still clutched in his hands. Xarius pressed the detonator and activated the explosives. Rushing into the room with his droids, Chitose shot Xarius in the face and seized the detonator device. With seconds to spare, Chitose disarmed Xarius' explosives before they detonated.

Less than a dozen meters away from where Chitose executed Xarius and disarmed the bombs, Det'aan retreated to the turbo-lift. Aboard the Libra battle station, Kuraine spotted Det'aan via the remote cameras and alerted his forces to her position via his comlink. As Det'aan reached the turbolift, Chitose and his droids' fusillade of laser bolts struck the turbo-lift's coolant system. Ankle-deep foam filled the turbolift, and spurts of anti-incendiary gas blinded Det'aan.

Ralgarrch, a Wookiee mercenary, struggled to squeeze into a turbolift shaft to chase after Siather Det'aan, the ISB director.

When the foam-drenched turbolift stopped at the detention level, a stunned Det'aan discovered most of the wounded Imperials had bled to death. Two Imperials taken prisoner by the Falleen forces lay suspended in bacta tanks, restrained by stun cuffs and sedated. Confirming the two prisoners remained secure, Det'aan attempted to retake computer control of the turbolift. Still aboard the Libra battle station, Kuraine monitored the camera feeds and spotted Det'aan accessing a computer terminal on the detention level. He relayed her location to his assault teams. Ralgarrch and his unit redirected to the detention level to kill Det'aan and eliminate any remaining Imperials.

On the detention level, Det'aan and five wounded Imperials manually opened the door to the empty turbo-lift shaft. Leaping across the shaft, Det'aan grabbed onto the rung of an access ladder. At this moment, Ralgarrch and his droids descended in a lift down the turbo-shaft from the middle deck. Det'aan fired at the descending turbo-lift, but her shots failed to slow its descent. The lift halted directly above Det'aan's head, and the Falleen raiding party led by Ralgarrch stormed the detention area, eliminating the five wounded Imperials along with Det'aan's two droids. Discovering that Det'aan had jammed the lift to prevent further descent, Ralgarrch raised the platform and attempted to squeeze through the turbo-lift doors to pursue her.

Sith Intervention

"Sith One to ISB One... We have arrived. Meet us at the reactor bay for pickup."

— Emperor Greyson Uebles by comlink to ISB Director Siather Det'aan – Year 4 Day 273

Using the powers of the Dark Side, Sith Lords created a Force wormhole and portaled to the ISD Shadowstone's lower deck.

While Ralgarrch and the Falleen forces pursued Det'aan down the turbo-lift shaft, Sith Lords Greyson Uebles and Adric Simms used a Force wormhole to cross the galaxy in a single step. Materializing on the ISD Shadowstone's lower deck in front of its main reactor, the two Sith destroyed all holo-cameras and dispatched the nearby droids with their lightsabers. While Uebles planted the explosives on one of the reactor cores, he activated his wrist comlink and, using the encrypted ISB frequency, transmitted a coded message to Det'aan to meet at the reactor bay for extraction. Receiving the comm message from Emperor Uebles, Det'aan climbed down the access ladder of the turbo-lift shaft to the lower deck.

Exiting the turbo-lift into the lower access corridor, Det'aan encountered 19 enemy Super Battle Droids between herself and the two Sith. Setting her TB-1a to overload, she tossed the weapon toward the enemy super battle droids. The overloaded ion weapon exploded, destroying two Super Battle Droids and injuring another two. Simms unlocked the blast door to the lower access corridor and engaged the Super Battle Droids between Det'aan and himself. The droids slowed their approach towards Det'aan and focused their blaster fire on Simms. Sprinting toward the droids, Simms slashed at them left and right while deflecting any laser shots fired back at their source.

With the enemy Super Battle Droids destroyed, Simms returned to the reactor cores' chamber, accompanied by Det'aan. As Uebles set the timer on the explosives, Simms reopened the wormhole to the bridge of the ISD "Byden's Death". With the last of the explosive charges on the reactor core activated with a twenty-second delay, Uebles, Simms, and Det'aan entered the wormhole, and the three Imperials materialized on the bridge of ISD Byden's Death, a vessel located outside of the Beta system. Twenty seconds later, one of the reactor cores of the ISD Shadowstone partly exploded, but the damage proved limited, and the ship remained intact. Arriving on the ISD "Byden's Death," Uebles, Simms, and Det'aan entered a Lambda-class shuttle and departed for Coruscant.

Aftermath

King Kuraine awarded a medal to Falleen Federation personnel who participated in Operation Shadowstone.

Following the capture of the Shadowstone, the Falleen personnel and their mercenaries discovered a full complement of TIE Bombers stored in a hangar bay and other spoils of war. Verifying no further Imperial threats existed, the attackers celebrated. Adam Flynn baked Wookiee-Ookiee cookies in the starship's mess hall. After their revelries, most of the Falleen assault teams egressed via the docking ring to a connected GR-75 Medium Transport. Amid these celebrations, Hovstad Stockmann, a Gamorrean naturalized citizen who served in the Falleen's Space Support Fleet, defected in his Y-Wing starfighter to the Empire. Stockmann's defection did little to offset the loss of prestige caused by the Shadowstone's theft.

Moff Calder formally presented the Shadowstone to King Kuraine, who, in turn, gifted the vessel to Hapan officer Alex Tylger. A grand ceremony occurred at the Supreme Court where Santage, Ralgarrch, and others swore fealty to Kuraine. In reward for their services, Lord Chancellor of Justice Ceud awarded Falleen citizenship to Santage and Ralgarrch. King Kuraine rewarded Chitose by granting him the title of Warlord and promoting him to Lord Commander of all the Falleen Federation's military forces. Kuraine also promoted Trevelan to Chitose's previous position as Army Commander.

The brazen theft of the Shadowstone by Kuraine, Calder, and the Falleen forces antagonized the Galactic Empire. To avenge the theft of the Star Destroyer, the Empire considered striking at Falleen Prime itself. Dur'aak and Meridan believed the conquest of Falleen Prime, the jewel of the Doldur Sector, to be within the Empire's military capability and collaborated with the Empire to avert a disastrous outcome. They provided the Empire with the exact coordinates of King Kuraine's new flagship, the Shadowstone, and with the security codes to disable his ever-present contingent of fearsome War Droids.

Immediately after the Shadowstone's capture, the Battle of Beta occurred.

Meridan communicated these details to the Empire via encrypted subspace transmissions. Throughout the ensuing plotting, Jace Meridan served as Tholin Dur'aak's clandestine liaison to Emperor Greyson Uebles and Warlord Vodo Bonias. As payment for his treachery, Meridan asked Uebles that he be bequeathed all of Kuraine's property except for his credits. Upon confirmation of Kuraine's death, Meridan promised to lower the defenses of the Libra station and allow Imperial forces to storm the bastion. In repayment, Dur'aak would regain the Falleen crown.

Although the Empire succeeded in assassinating Kuraine aboard his flagship, the attempted coup d'etat by Dur'aak and Meridan collapsed when their complicity with Uebles' Empire became known. Lord Ambassadress Mizuno Ryu of the Falleen Federation selected Lord Admiral Bisz Aldaris to succeed the murdered Kuraine instead of Dur'aak or Meridan. Once the Empire realized that Meridan and Dur'aak failed to seize control of the Falleen state, the Imperial High Command deemed the two plotters as expendable. The Empire instead undertook the genocide of the Falleen population in the Beta system and attacked the Libra battle station. According to unverified reports, Meridan died manning the defenses on Libra station against the overwhelming Imperial onslaught.
