The Battle of Bespin in 12 ABY was part of the Empire Reborn campaign.
Background
It occurred after Kyle Katarn went to Cloud City after linking up with Lando Calrissian at Nar Shaddaa. Calrissian told Katarn of Remnant activity in Cloud City, as well as being overrun by Reelo Baruk's mercenaries. After contacting the New Republic for help, Calrissian dropped off Katarn on Cloud City's reactor stalk, allowing the Jedi to infiltrate the undercity from below. Meanwhile Calrissian gathered some old friends from the security force to come Katarn's way from the upper levels.
The battle
It was then, somewhere in the Cloud City Core where Darth Vader had once dueled with Luke Skywalker, that Katarn encountered a strange being: a Dark Jedi called a Reborn, whom Katarn dueled and killed. Using Calrissian's R5-series astromech droid, he soon gained access to the city streets.

Linking up with the Bespin Wing Guards, Katarn first destroyed all of Reelo's thugs in the lower levels and then forced all Remnant forces out of the city. Tavion Axmis, Desann's apprentice, engaged Katarn in a duel. Katarn emerged victorious, and Force-gripped Axmis, ready to kill her. Whimpering with fear, she revealed to him that Jan Ors, who was believed dead, was alive on the Doomgiver and begged him to let her go. He spared her life and boarded a carrier to go to the Cairn Installation.
