During the Republic Dark Age , large areas of the Outer Rim Territories were controlled by various Sith Lords . Following its conquest by the Chagras Hegemony in 1042 BBY , the planet Aquilaris Minor in the Grumani sector was ruled by a string of Sith . By 1032 BBY , Aquilaris had come under Lord Daiman , who exploited the world for its sea life . Aquilaris was also the homeworld of the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt , who had devoted herself to a knight errant ' s mission of waging war on the Sith . Responding to a distress transmission from the Seacroppers ' Guild , Kerra returned to her homeworld only to discover that it was being invaded by the forces of the Hutt crime lord Zodoh , a new player in the Grumani sector . During the initial onslaught , Zodoh ' s forces quickly wiped out Daiman ' s weak defenses . In the midst of the fighting , Kerra infiltrated the spaceport at Capital Cay in a food transport and slew the Daimanate garrison commander . She arrived at the Seacroppers ' dormitory where she met an old man named Padgett and her childhood friend Joad Kreel , who has become addicted to the narcotic spice known as Deluge . She soon discovered that much of the Seacroppers ' Guild had become affected by Deluge , rendering them in an apathetic and disinterested state . Unable to get them to escape , Kerra also learnt that the distress signal was actually a code message requesting more Deluge . Meanwhile , Zodoh deployed a Stormdriver , a large starship equipped with weaponized vaporators capable of draining moisture from the surrounding atmosphere and creating torrential storms . The Stormdriver wrecked havoc on Capital Cay ' s seaport . Kerra distracted the Stormdriver ' s crew by firing a blaster at it . The Stormdriver was subsequently destroyed by Fire Lotus - class starfighter s from Grace Command , a paramilitary relief organization associated with the Galactic Republic . Zodoh orders a tactical withdrawal while Devil Squadron occupied Capital Cay where they were welcomed by the local population as liberators . The Devils ' commander Captain Jenn Devaad established contact with Kerra , promising to distribute food and medical aid to the population . Kerra is relieved to have found some allies in her fight against the Sith . Meanwhile on his fighter carrier " Voracious " , Zodoh issues an ultimatum to the local Sith Lords via hologram , offering to become their main supplier of slaves and munitions if they were willing to cooperate with him against Daiman . If they refused , he threatened severe consequences . He then conferred with his advisor Oon Garat who reported that the damaged Stormdriver had gathered the necessary data on Aquilaris prior to its destruction . Zodoh then ordered her to send a courier to the Hutt capital of Nal Hutta , promising that the Sith would be working for him by the time he had finished with the Grumani sector .
