Finally picked up the game after my stint in beta, and I recall threads on this chap from pre-release. At least I thought the name sounded familiar when he opened up by tossing me away; I'd never leveled a Knight far enough to encounter him.
It was the only chance he had to do that (good, since the ship wasn't behind me) thanks to timely Force Pushing and Kicking and such. Kira and I took him down without either of us dropping. I'm sure some CDs were used and my Guardian was hopped up on one stim (probably Fortitude) or another. Vigilance spec to that point, Shien form.
