Aquilaris campaign The Aquilaris campaign was a campaign of the New Sith Wars in 1032 BBY . It was centered around the Outer Rim world of Aquilaris Minor in the Grumani sector . It was a three - way campaign which involved the Sith Lord Daiman ' s Daimanate , Hutt crime lord Zodoh ' s empire , and the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order represented by Grace Command ' s Captain Jenn Devaad and Jedi Knight Kerra Holt respectively . Each party had their own vested interests in the planet . Sith Lord Daiman had recently acquired the planet in the power vacuum following the collapse of the Chagras Hegemony . Zodoh had wanted to expand into traditional Sith Space by using his new Stormdriver superweapons to intimidate his Sith rivals . First , he intended to test them on Aquilaris Minor by using their weaponized vaporators to submerge the planet in water . Meanwhile , Grace Command had intended to drive out the Sith while secretly inundating the population with the narcotic spice Deluge as a means of undermining the Sith war effort under Operation Deluge . Their cover as a paramilitary relief organization concealed the unethical agenda of Baron Lemayne . In contrast , the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt had planned to liberate the planet from Sith occupation and rescue the Aquilarians from the machinations of both Zodoh and the Sith . Zodoh and Grace Command wiped out Daiman ' s meager garrison , with the latter taking control of the planet . Zodoh ' s forces retreated into the far reaches of the Aquilaris system but lured Devil Squadron into a trap . The entire squadron with the exception of Captain Jenn were killed . Zodoh then proceeded to test his fleet of Stormdrivers on Aquilaris , creating a global flood which inundated much of the surface in water . Subsequently , Jenn managed to escaped and disrupted the coordination of the Stromdrivers in the process . Despite this minor setback and the destruction of stocks of Deluge spice during the escape , Zodoh regarded this as a victory since it had proven the effectiveness of his superweapons . He then dispatched his fleet to Darkknell , capital of Daiman ' s princedom . There , Zodoh was defeated through the combined efforts of Kerra and Captain Jenn , who wanted to avenge the murder of her squadron mates . History . Background . Following the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt ' s adventures in various Sith princedoms of the Grumani sector , she received a distress call from a member of the Seacroppers ' Guild on Aquilaris Minor . She hitched a ride aboard a transport and lands in Capital Cay , the main city on Aquilaris Minor . In reality , the distress call was just a coded signal calling for spacers to deliver Deluge , a highly addictive spice . Aquilaris Minor had been Kerra ' s homeworld until she had been forced to flee offworld during an invasion by the Chagras Hegemony in 1042 BBY . In the successive years , this remote watery world had changed hands between various Sith Lords . By 1032 BBY , the planet had fallen under the control of Lord Daiman , the ruler of the Daimanate who saw himself as the " Creator " of the Universe and believed that other sentient beings did not exist . He forced the people of Aquilaris Minor to harvest seafood for him . To cope with the poverty and hunger , many of the planet ' s inhabitants became addicted to the spice Deluge which became a substitute for food . Unknown to Kerra and the Aquilaris locals , the planet had attracted the attention of two other groups : the Hutt crime lord Zodoh and Grace Command . The ambitious Zodoh had acquired a fleet of Stormdriver s , tactical warships equipped with weaponized vaporators capable of generating artificial floods and storms . With Daiman preoccupied with consolidating his new territories in the former Bactranate , Zodoh decided to expand his operations into the Grumani sector . He intended to use Aquilaris Minor as a testing ground for his new Stormdriver weapons . Meanwhile , Grace Command , a seemingly benevolent relief organization , was actually a black operation mounted by the Alderaanian Baron Lemayne . Under the cover of fighting the Sith and distributing relief supplies to liberated populations , Grace Command was actually distributing Deluge spice in Sith worlds . This was part of Baron Lemayne ' s strategy of sabotaging the Sith war effort without having to waste substantial Republic resources and manpower . Grace Command sent Captain Jenn Devaad ' s Devil Squadron to " liberate " Aquilaris Minor . False dawn . Zodoh ' s " Intruder " - class starfighters dropped out of hyperspace inside Arkadia Minor ' s patrol zone and wiped out the Daimanate starfighter defenses . Zodoh ' s starfighters then ravaged the Daimanate garrison on Capital Cay , driving the Sith into retreat . The garrison commander attempts to leave on a food transport and get reinforcements from Scepter Cay . However , he and his men were ambushed and killed by Kerra , who had been hiding aboard the food transport . Kerra then headed to the Seacroppers ' barracks where she met her old friends Padgett and Joad Kreel . Kerra attempted to convince them to escape Aquilaris with her only to discover that most of the Seacroppers apart from Padgett had become Deluge spice addicts . She also learnt that the distress transmission was actually a code signal calling for more spice . Shortly later , one of Zodoh ' s Stormdrivers arrives above Capital Cay and unleashed a stormy deluge over the city , sweeping Daiman ' s defenders into the sea . Kerra launched a lone attack on Zodoh ' s Stormtriver with her blaster pistol . While her bolts failed to dent the ship , it distracted the ship ' s crew long enough for Devaad ' s starfighters to destroy the Stormdriver . Captain Devaad ' s Devil Squadron had just emerged from hyperspace and attacked Zodoh ' s raiders . Facing renewed opposition , Zodoh ordered a tactical withdrawal . Captain Devaad ' s Devil Squadron are greeted as liberators by Kerra and the local people , who do not suspect their true intentions . In the outskirts of the Aquilaris Minor system , Zodoh contacted the Grumani Sith Lords from his flagship " Voracious " . He offered to sell them slaves and munitions if they allowed him to annex the Daimanate . Satisfied with the Stormdriver ' s test demonstration at Capital Cay , Zodoh brought a fleet of Stormdrivers from Nal Hutta , the Hutt homeworld . In the aftermath of Capital Cay ' s " liberation " , Kerra and Devil Squadron wiped out the remaining Daimanate forces on Aquilaris Minor . Shortly later , the Grace Command transport " Mother Grace " landed at Capital Cay to distribute food and medical supplies to the starving inhabitants of Aquilaris Minor . Kerra managed to secure a place on Devil Squadron despite concerns from Jenn ' s comrades who feared that Kerra will discover their secret agenda . Kerraa ' s friend eavesdropped on a secret Devil Squadron meeting and learnt about Grace Command ' s real agenda . Later , Kerra and her Devil Squadron comrades escorted the " Mother Grace " out of the Aquilaris Minor system while traveling to fight the Sith Lord Malakite ' s forces on Heptooine . While traveling through the Aquilaris system , they stumbled upon Zodoh ' s " Intruder " starfighter . Desiring revenge for their enslavement , Captain Jenn and her comrades pursued the Hutt . However , this turned out to be a trap and Devil Squadron was soon attack by a swarm of " Intruder " - class starfighters . In the midst of the fighting , Zodoh ' s Stormdriver fleet arrives from Nal Hutta . Zodoh announced his plans to use Aquilaris Minor as a testing ground for his new weapons . Sensing that Zodoh has lured them into a trap , Kerra breaks ranks with her Devil Squadron allies and returned to Capital Cay . Kerra ' decision came at a timely moment because Zodoh ' s flagship " Voracious " then trapped the squadron with a tractor beam projector . Stormy trials . Back at Capital Cay , Kerra tried to organize an evacuation of Aquilaris Minor ' s population but the spice - addicted Seacroppers were either unwilling or unable to help due to their drug - induced state . She tried to reason with her despondent childhood friend Joad Kreel but her efforts came to naught . Kerra also discovered that the " food containers " supplied by Grace Command only contains Deluge . Meanwhile , Zodoh coerced his captive Captain Jenn into recovering the " food containers " she had distributed on Aquilaris in return for the release of her crew . Jenn reluctantly complied and forced the Aquilaris locals at gunpoint to return their " food containers . " However , she was quickly ambushed and disarmed by Kerra Holt , who had by then deduced that Grace Command were actually spice dealers . Jenn rationalized her actions by arguing that Grace Command was aiding the Republic ' s war effort against the Sith . Unable to reconcile their differences , Kerra allowed Jenn to return to Zodoh to secure the release of her squadron mates . Following Captain Jenn ' s departure , Zodoh ' s Stormdrivers unleashed an artificial global rainstorm and flood on Aquilaris Minor . Kerra and Padgett struggled to evacuate the peoples of Aquilaris Minor to Tarrah Hill , the highest feature on Aquilaris Minor . After much difficulty , Joad finally overcame his melancholy and evacuated many Aquilaris refugees in a Seacropper Submersible . They evacuated the refugees to an underwater harvesting station beneath Aquilaris Minor ' s oceans . Meanwhile , Captain Devaad brought the Deluge " food containers " to Zodoh only to discover that the Hutt crimelord had already murdered her squadron mates by letting them out through the ship ' s airlock . In retaliation , she detonated the " food containers " , which had been converted into improvised remote - controlled bombs . These explosions damaged parts of the " Voracious " and disrupted the Stormdrivers ' " global flood " on Aquilaris . The end of the downpour enabled Kerra , Padgett , and Joad to evacuate more Aquilaris refugees . Despite these losses , Zodoh regarded the Stormdrivers ' test demonstration on Aquilaris as a success and ordered his forces to depart for Darkknell , the capital of the Daimanate . Aftermath . Following the end of the Great Aquilaris Deluge , Jenn Devaad escaped from the " Voracious " and reconciled with Kerra Holt . She also revealed that Zodoh planned to flood Darkknell with his Stormdrivers . Seeking to save the lives of billions on that planet , they traveled on Jenn ' s stolen twin - seater starfighter to Darkknell . By that stage , Daiman ' s rivals had made a deal with Zodoh to attack the Daimanate ; allowing Zodoh to Battle of Darkknell with ease . Zodoh ' s Stormdrivers devastated Daiman ' s throneworld and almost succeeded in destroying Lord Daiman and his princedom . However , Kerra and Jenn succeeded in infiltrating and destroying Zodoh ' s flagship " Voracious " , which throws his Stormdrivers into disarray . With their leader incapacitated , Daiman ' s forces regained the upper hand . Daiman ' s forces also captured Zodoh himself , who was brought before Daiman , who had him dehydrated with one of his own weaponized vaporators . This ended Zodoh ' s threat to the Grumani Sith Lords . Following the defeat of Zodoh , Kerra and Jenn returned to Aquilaris Minor where the floodwaters had already begun to subside . Kerra also reconciled with her childhood friend Joad Kreel , who had begun the process of ending his Deluge addiction . Padgett and Joad planned to use Aquilaris as a base to shuttle refugees out of Sith Space . They were able to carry out their operation because most of the Sith Lords believed that Aquilaris had been completely submerged by Zodoh ' s Stormdrivers . In addition , Captain Jenn also agreed to help ferry refugees into Republic space and to sabotage Grace Command ' s spice - distribution operations by dumping them into space . Kerra then embarked on a quest to find her long - lost parents and sibling , which took her into the heart of the Odionate , the realm of the Sith Lord Odion who saw himself as the " Destroyer " of the galaxy .
