Dreypa ' s rebellion Dreypa ' s rebellion was a short - lived uprising on Kesh in 2974 BBY that was instigated by the ancient Sith Lord Remulus Dreypa . After being freed from an oubliette by the Lost Tribe anarchist Parlan Spinner , Dreypa sought to return to the galaxy . However , he also took the opportunity to launch an uprising against the ruling Tribal establishment in Tahv . After killing Lord Galathos and rallying the inhabitants of Eorm , Dreypa ' s army marched on Tahv . Despite some initial successes in the Marisota Floodplain s , they were attacked by the Skyborn Rangers and forced to retreat to Sessal Spire . There , Dreypa awakened several hibernating Leviathans , reptilian Sithspawn which devoured souls . Dreypa ' s Leviathans then wiped out the Tribe ' s army and the Doomed , an enigmatic community of Force - users from the planet ' s frozen southern continent Eshkrene would were the descendants of ancient Jedi and Dark Jedi from the Hundred - Year Darkness . Dreypa subsequently learnt that a Jedi starship was hidden under the Sith capital Tahv . However , he was thwarted by Spinner who had joined forces with the Sith princess Takara Hilts . Dreypa was slain and this ended any threat to the Lost Tribe ' s rule on Kesh . History . Background . Following the Battle of Corbos in 6900 BBY which ended the Hundred - Year Darkness , the surviving Dark Jedi were exiled to the Stygian Caldera . There , they subjugated the Red Sith on Korriban and created a new Sith civilization . While most of the Dark Jedi were content to remain on Korriban , a group of dissidents led by the Sith Lord Remulus Dreypa ventured out of the Stygian Caldera in a starship . Upon exiting , they were attacked by a group of Jedi Corbos veterans who pursued them across the galaxy . Eventually , their pursuit ended at Kesh , a primitive world that was home to the purple – skinned Keshiri species . The Dark Jedi and Jedi fought , unleashing the Great Calamity which devastated much of Keshtah Minor . Eventually , the combatants became disillusioned with the fighting and decided to make peace . As a peace offering , the Dark Jedi disarmed Dreypa and " sealed " him within an oubliette . The Force - users then migrated to Kesh ' s South Pole where they established a new Force - sensitive community called the Doomed . From their settlement , they maintained a protective vigil over the Keshiri and sought to find a balance in the Force . In 5000 BBY , a group of Human offworlders from the Sith Empire , who were known as the Lost Tribe , established themselves as the new political and religious elite on Keshtah Minor . By 2974 BBY , the Lost Tribe under the leadership of the reformist Grand Lord Varner Hilts had annexed the neighboring continent of Alanciar . Using the Alanciari Keshiri ' s wooden fleets , Hilts embarked on an ambitious program to explore the rest of Kesh . That year , he sent the Sith outcast Parlan Spinner to work as a sailor aboard the Keshiri captain Chegg ' s mariner " Southern Star . " Captain Chegg was tasked with exploring the South Pole . Unknown to Hilts , his daughter Takara Hilts also stowed aboard the " Southern Star " . Shortly after landing on the frozen shores of Eshkrene , the Sith and Keshiri expedition were ambushed by the Doomed , who killed Captain Chegg and several of his crew . They then took the two Sith and the remaining Keshiri crew captive . First Contact . The S ' kytri Kaliska , leader of the Doomed , related the history of the Doomed to their Sith captives Spinner and Takara . She also mentioned how her people ' s Force - sensitive ancestors had sealed away their " greatest weapon " within an oubliette . When Spinner expressed interest in this " great weapon " , Kaliska had him imprisoned with the rest of the Keshiri crew . Meanwhile , Kaliska took Takara on a tour of the Eshkrene stables and taught her the Force power of animal friendship . However , Spinner and the Keshiri crew managed to escape and stole the " Great Weapon " . They then sailed back to Keshtah Minor on the " Southern Star " . Fearing the danger of the " Great Weapon " , Kaliska and Takara pursued Spinner and his followers and land on the ship ' s deck . However , Spinner broke open the casket with a hammer and freed the ancient Sith Lord Remulus Dreypa . The opportunistic Spinner and his crew quickly aligned themselves with Dreypa while Takara and Kaliska were imprisoned below deck . The " Southern Star " then sailed back to Keshtah Minor where it landed at the port of Eorm , Spinner ' s hometown . During a short skirmish , Lord Dreypa used his dark side powers to kill the tyrannical Lord Galathos and the local Sith garrison . Dreypa ' s display of Dark Side powers awed the local inhabitants who rallied around the Sith Lord . Despite his goals of reaching the stars again , Dreypa reluctantly agreed to lead a rebellion against the Lost Tribe with Spinner serving as his lieutenant . However , Takara and Kaliska managed to escape from their captors and return to Eshkrene , bringing the entire town ' s herd of uvak s , winged reptilian beasts , with them . Sith versus Sith . Under the leadership of Remulus Dreypa and his lieutenant Parlan Spinner , the hastily - assembled rebel army marched into the Marisota Floodplain and fought with the Lost Tribe ' s forces . The Lost Tribe ' s forces were commanded by Grand Consort Iliana Hilts , the wife of Grand Lord Hilts and a seasoned military commander . Despite inflicting heavy casualties on the Tribe ' s infantry forces , the rebels were scattered by the Tribe ' s aerial force , the Skyborn Rangers , warriors who rode the winged reptilian uvak . Facing heavy losses , Dreypa and Spinner sounded the retreat and their forces fled to Sessal Spire , a volcanic caldera which lay on a narrow , rocky peninsular overlooking the Southern Ocean . The Grand Consort initially dismissed Dreypa ' s retreat as a strategic folly due since there was no escape from that peninsular . Iliana ' s Sith forces caught up with Dreypa and Spinner , and attempted to execute them . However , Dreypa uses his talisman to summon up Leviathans from beneath the crater . Leviathans were massive Sithspawn created during the Hundred - Year Darkness that were capable of draining the life energies of sentient beings . Within minutes , Dreypa ' s Leviathans devoured friend and foe alike . At that point , Kaliska and the Doomed attacked Dreypa and his Leviathans . During the fighting , Takara attacks Spinner whom she intends to settle scores with . However , their duel was interrupted when Takara ' s mother Iliana was attacked by one of the Leviathans . In a rare selfless moment , Spinner killed the beast and saved Iliana ' s life , thus gaining his former enemy ' s trust . Spinner and Takara escaped the fighting with the debilitated Iliana , riding on an uvak . They are rejoined by Kaliska who revealed that the Jedi ancestors of the Doomed had hidden a starship beneath the Sith capital Tahv . Aware of Dreypa ' s ambitions of reaching the stars , Kaliska convinced Spinner and Takara to destroy the ship . However , Dreypa and his Leviathans quickly catch up with them , having devoured all of their opponents including the Doomed forces . Spinner and Iliana managed to escape but Kaliska was captured and killed by one of Dreypa ' s Leviathans . In an attempt to delay Dreypa , Takara took the Dark Jedi on a duel . However , she was unable to match the Sith Lord ' s mastery of the Dark Side and was taken captive . Last Stand at Tahv . Meanwhile , Spinner and Iliana arrived back at Tahv . A debilitated Iliana was reunited with her elderly husband Varner . However , Spinner reneged on his promise to destroy the " Last Hope " and instead took it on a joyride above Kesh ' s atmosphere , hoping to fulfill his ancestor Ermon Parrah ' s goal of spinning a cord that would reach the stars . Before Spinner could explore the wider galaxy , he was contacted by Dreypa who issued the young Sith with an ultimatum . Cognizant of Spinner ' s new - found love for Takara , he threatened to kill Takara unless Spinner handed the " Last Hope " over to him . Dreypa and his leviathans then laid waste to Tahv while Iliana ' s forces prepared to make a final stand . Spinner used the " Last Hope " ' s turbolaser cannons to kill most of the Leviathans , turning the tide of the battle in favor of the Lost Tribe . Meanwhile , Takara managed to break free of the last remaining Leviathan and kill the creature with Force lightning . In the ensuing chaos , she and Dreypa ended on up the hull of the " Last Hope " . Spinner flew the starship to the shores of the Southern Ocean where he " handed " the vessel to Dreypa , before jumping into the sea with Takara . Dreypa claimed ownership of the vessel only to discover that Spinner had set its engines for a one - way journey into Sessal Spire . Dreypa was killed in the ensuing explosion , which ended the Sith Lord ' s threat to the Lost Tribe . Following the defeat of Dreypa , the Sith begin rebuilding Tahv and the former outcast Spinner became a hero of the Tribe . Grand Lord Varner Hilts appointed the young man as one of his Hands and Spinner also developed a romantic relationship with his former enemy Takara . Legacy . Dreypa ' s rebellion ended the last extant threat to the Lost Tribe ' s rule on Kesh . The destruction of the hyperspace capable Jedi ship " Last Hope " delayed the return of the Tribe to the wider galaxy for another three millennia . For Grand Lord Hilts , Spinner and Hilt ' s contact with the Doomed validated his theory that the Lost Tribe were not the first offworlders to discover Kesh . He concluded that the ancient Keshiri legends about the Great Cataclysm , the Protectors , and the Destructors were based on their recollections of the fighting between the Jedi and Dark Jedi . He speculated that if more Protectors and Destructors still existed in the galaxy , the Tribe would be no match for them . Behind the scenes . Dreypa ' s rebellion first appeared in John Jackson Miller " " comic series , which debuted on August 8 , 2012 . This five - issue comic series ran until December 12 , 2012 . The scenes relating to that conflict were illustrated by Andrea Mutti , inked by Pierluigi Baldassini , and then colored by Michael Atiyeh . According to Miller ' s production notes on his website Faraway Press , Dreypa ' s rebellion served as a showdown between the " Old School " Sith and the Lost Tribe and as a means of linking the " Lost Tribe of the Sith " comics with the " " comics . In addition , Miller also intended to use the conflict to strike a contrast between the " lawfully - evil " Lost Tribe and the " chaotic - evil " Remulus Dreypa . He also viewed the Leviathans as a Force - multiplier for Dreypa ' s powers and as a story device for telling Dreypa where the Doomed ' s starship was hidden .
