Īt first Bane and his droids had the upper hand in the ambush. Bane arranged an ambush on the gun deck for Skywalker, Tano, Rex, and their troops. Bane then came up with a plan to force Skywalker and his apprentice to open the holocron. However, Ropal died due to the torture before he opened the holocron. Bane then attempted to force Ropal to open it by torturing him.
Skywalker had his fleet destroy the hyperdrive of Bane's frigate, preventing him from going into hyperspace. However, a fleet of Republic ships, led by Anakin Skywalker, came to Devaron, and in the ensuing battle, most frigates were destroyed, leaving only the frigate with Bane and Ropal on board. Bane led a ground attack on the surface of Devaron and captured Ropal and the kyber crystal. Darth Sidious ordered Viceroy Nute Gunray to send a small fleet of Munificent-class star frigates to help Bane carry out his next assignment: to kidnap Jedi Master Bolla Ropal and have him combine the holocron and the Kyber memory crystal, which was held by Ropal.
