Parley For Brandis Finian

The Negotiations Aboard the Malevolence was a failed attempt at diplomacy between the Galactic Empire's Danik Kreldin and several Jedi, including Luke Skywalker and Johanna Siri te Danaan, to peacefully mediate the return of the Jedi Apprentice, Brandis Finian.

Grand Admiral Kreldin, an aspiring Sith and ever ambitious, saw an opportunity to capture Skywalker and his nemesis, Danaan, and appease his Master, Darth Malign. Kreldin, not-so-surprisingly, disagreed to Skywalker's terms and ordered them arrested. The Jedi quickly lashed out, slaying several Royal Guardsmen and Stormtroopers as Kreldin escaped.

The Jedi then began a difficult and tedious battle to escape the behemoth dreadnought, Malevolence, before they were simply wore down by the hundreds of thousands of Imperials that surrounded them. Darth Malign arrived to scold his bumbling apprentice, and the two had a brief fight where Kreldin was easily subdued. Malign then set about to hunt down the fugitive Jedi, who had managed to disable the Malevolence's power systems and render it dead in space.

With the Imperials confused by the turn of events, the Jedi fought their way into one of the hangar bays and escaped with their prize, the wounded Brandis.
