Upon arriving at Troiken, Tyvokka, Koon, Jinn, Kenobi, Valorum, and Gallia met with Nute Gunray of the Trade Federation, who was accompanied by a guard of HKB-3 hunter-killer droids.As he sat down across a large table from Gunray, Valorum, and the Jedi, Tyvokka suggested that they eschew the usual "preliminaries" of negotiation, and cut straight to what Stark considered to be the solution. Stark agreed, and his associates and guards drew their weapons on Gunray and the Jedi.Tyvokka correctly divined that Stark had planned everything from the beginning, and that the summit itself had been a trap for them. As Stark continued to call for their surrender, Tyvokka grabbed the giant table and flipped it on its side, using it as a shield against Stark's men. As the Jedi leapt into action, Tyvokka assigned Kenobi to protect Gunray, Gallia to protect Valorum, and Koon to assist him. Using the Force, the Wookiee smashed the table and fought Stark's men with his lightsaber. Jinn urged Gunray to activate his droids and have them assist, but Gunray's vague order to "kill them all" resulted in them opening fire on the Jedi as well. Tyvokka was caught unawares and struck by three blaster bolts across the chest.
