Following Skywalker's dream on Ossus, Luke knew what had to be done. He made his way to the gas giant Gand knowing that his presence there would draw out the Dark Lord Darth Abeonis. Skywalker waited for several hours before his vessel's scanners detected the Hidden Side entering the planet's atmosphere. This marked the beginning of the Duel on Gand. He also informed the Jedi that the Sith Council was fully aware of his reasons for coming to Gand, and that if he returned without having killed the Jedi Master, it would stir unrest within the Sith ranks.
