In the year 0 ABY, the Sith Lord Darth Vader's traveled to Shu-Torun representing the interests of the Galactic Empire as an emissary of Emperor Sheev Palpatine. The king's daughter, Princess Trios, ordered the dance to begin as she and Vader entered the abyssal room, and explained its importance to Vader when he claimed it was unnecessary. The waltz was interrupted when Vader refused to dance with Bixene, the daughter of Duke Rubix, and twirled the duke in the air using the Force when he continued to insist. Vader was then attacked by a number of the king's men, causing the other guests to flee and putting an end to the dance.
