Sedri civil war The Sedri civil war was a conflict that took place on the planet of Sedri between the Sedrian renegades lead by Sedrian bishop of war Karak along with Imperial Aquatic assault stormtrooper s lead by Commander Aban , and the Priests of the Sun along with Alliance forces . History . Some time during the Galactic Civil War , the Sedrian bishop of war , Karak , opposed the Priests of the Sun ' s control over Sedri with the use of the Force - sensitive coral communal intelligence known as the Golden Sun , and decided to take control of the Golden Sun for himself . In time , Karak managed to rally up a group of renegades who believed that all Sedrians should have access to the Golden Sun , although in truth Karak simply wanted the coral ' s power for himself . The opportunity to take control presented itself when an Imperial starship accidentally discovered the water world and the Imperial forces lead by Commander Aban established a garrison on the planet . The Imperial presence soon produced rumors of the planet ' s discovery , attracting the attention of an Alliance to Restore the Republic diplomat named Mors Odrion and his companion Rekara . Karak and his renegades took advantage of the situation and kidnapped Odrion and took him to the Imperial garrison . There , Karak made a deal with Aban to form an alliance between the renegades and the Empire in order to attack the city of Fitsay and claim the power of the Golden Sun , splitting it between the two factions equally . The former bishop of war kept the deal a secret from the majority of renegades , many of whom were suspicious of the Imperials . Meanwhile , Rekara managed to flee the planet and traveled to Delta Base ; however , an encounter with a piece of Golden Sun coral left her insane . Rekara later returned to the planet with a group of six Rebels ; the group managed to convince Fala , Karak ' s daughter , that her father and the Imperial Commander had formed an Alliance , making her and some of Karak ' s renegades lose trust in his leadership . The former renegades then sided with the Rebels and fought besides them in the upcoming battle to defend Fitsay . The Battle of Fitsay . Karak and some of his renegades , along with the Imperial forces , then began their attack . The Imperial troops mainly consisting of aquatic assault stormtrooper s supported by an Aquatic Terrain Armored Transport , and met the forces of Fistay and the Rebels outside of the city . Karak , however , took six of his most trusted and powerful renegades , Dragob , Glish , K ' hondo , Porm , Spodan and Burborok , as well as his pet razort , Tooch , and their prisoner Odrion , to the Sun Caves in an attempt to claim the coral for himself and defeat the Imperials and the Priests . At the cave the group was confronted by the High Priest of the Golden Sun Cardo , however one of the renegades attacked him , slashing him across the chest and causing a near fatal wound . The group then moved into the cave , with Karak and Odrion heading straight for the main chamber while the others spread out through the cave to slow down any pursuers . The group of six rebels , Rekara and Cardo ' s son Pek soon entered the cave in search of Karak and came upon the huge chamber . They then went on to successfully stop Karak by persuading the Golden Sun to separate and weaken its power , which in turn also weakened Karak , who was later arrested and imprisoned for his betrayal . Continuing tensions . The battle at Fitsay did not end the civil war entirely ; although the Empire abandoned its garrison on the planet , and off - world traders arrived , the High Priests welcome contact with the outside galaxy , but wanted to do so slowly and cautiously . Karak ' s followers , however , believed that the High Priest ' s stance was limiting Sedri ' s growth .
