Eshkrene Eshkrene was the south polar continent of the planet Kesh , home to a settlement of the Doomed , that was discovered by the Lost Tribe of Sith in 2974 BBY . It was first colonized by a group of Jedi and Dark Jedi who had become stranded on Kesh following the Hundred - Year Darkness . These Force - sensitive individuals had fought each other during the Great Calamity and had since made peace . Over the next four millennia , their descendants became known as the Doomed , a Force - sensitive order that was committed to finding true neutrality in the Force . They also maintained a constant vigil over the Keshiri and their " great weapon " , Remulus Dreypa , who was sealed within an oubliette . In 2974 BBY , Eshkrene was discovered by an Alanciari expedition which had been sent by the Lost Tribe . These explorers encountered the Doomed and unleashed a chain of events which led to the return and subsequent death of Dreypa following a rebellion which wiped out the Doomed and devastated large areas of the Tribe ' s home continent of Keshtah Minor . History . Settlement . Eshkrene was a frozen polar continent in Kesh ' s southern hemisphere . It was first settled by several Jedi and Dark Jedi who had become stranded on the planet Kesh at some point after the end of the Hundred - Year Darkness in 6900 BBY . These offworlders had fought a fierce battle which severed access between the two continents of Keshtah Minor and Alanciar . This battle between the two Force - factions was remembered by the native Keshiri as a " great battle " between the Protectors and the Destructors . In the end , the Jedi and the Dark Jedi made peace and turned back from the brink of destruction . The Dark Jedi sealed their fanatical leader , the Sith Lord Remulus Dreypa , inside an oubliette , where he would remain for the next four thousand years . Meanwhile , the Jedi hid their last remaining starship beneath Tahv ' s Circle Eternal . Since Kesh was isolated from the galaxy and the Keshiri were still a primitive stone - age civilization , the Jedi and Dark Jedi decided to withdraw from the Keshiri , whom their actions had endangered . They migrated to Eshkrene where they built a settlement which became known as the City of the Doomed . For the next four thousand years , the former Jedi and Dark Jedi strove to find true neutrality in the Force and became known as the Doomed . The original ancestors of the Doomed came from a wide variety of species including S ' kytri , Rodians , Wookiees , Weequay , and Twi ' lek . However due to their isolation , several species gradually died out over each generation . They also used the frozen climate to preserve genetic material for several generations , thus ensuring the continued existence of some species . While the Doomed regarded the Force as a curse and forbade any of their members from leaving Kesh as long as they could still wield the Force , they used the Force for hunting . The Doomed also used their Force powers to create ice mirror s which enabled them to maintain a constant vigil on the Keshiri , whom they swore to protect . Over the millennia , they monitored developments on Keshtah , which had been settled by a group of Human Sith known as the Lost Tribe of Sith during the Great Hyperspace War . While the Doomed had considered intervening once during the Time of the Rot , they relented after the reformist Sith Varner Hilts assumed leadership of the Tribe and rebuilt Keshtah ' s society . Finally , the Doomed maintained a constant guard over Dreypa , their dreaded " Great Weapon " who was capable of devastating entire planets . Sith Contact . In 2974 BBY , Eshkrene ' s isolation came to an end when the Alanciari sailing ship " Southern Star " discovered the continent . The previous year , the Lost Tribe had annexed Alanciar and adopted the Alanciaris ' sailing ship technology . To support the Tribe ' s primary vision of returning to the stars , the ruling Grand Lord Varner Hilts initiated a programme to explore and conquer the rest of Kesh . He wanted to ensure the survival of the Tribe by giving them a purpose to work for . Upon landing , two of the " Southern Star ' s " Human crew , the outlaw Parlan Spinner and the Sith princess Takara Hilts attempted to desert the Alanciari ship crew and sneak back aboard the ship in order to sail away . However , they were spotted by Captain Chegg , whom ordered his men to kill them . The Alanciari crew pursued the two Sith but were ambushed and killed by several Doomed archers , who then took the two Sith and the remaining Alanciari crew prisoner . They also impounded the " Southern Star " . Spinner and Takara met the Doomed ' s leader Kaliska , who related to them the history of her people . The Doomed did not intend for their captives to leave in order to preserve their community ' s secrecy . While they wanted to spare Takara , they intended to execute the Alanciari crew and Spinner ; the latter had expressed an interest in the Doomed ' s " Great Weapon . " However , Spinner and the Alanciari crew escaped on their ship and also stole the Doomed ' s " Great Weapon . " Spinner intended to use the " Great Weapon " to settle scores with the Tribe , who had mistreated his ancestors and condemned his family to slavery . When Takara and Kaliska pursued them , they too were taken prisoner . After releasing Remulus Dreypa from his prison , Spinner returned to Keshtah on the " Southern Star " . There , he and Dreypa instigated a slave rebellion against the Tribe and attempted to march on Tahv . However , they were defeated at the Battle of the Marisota Floodplain and were driven to Sessal Spire , a volcano on the south - western tip of Keshtah . Meanwhile , Takara and Kaliska returned to Eshkrene on a herd of uvak , winged reptilian beasts capable of flying for long distances , and rallied the Doomed for a confrontation against Dreypa . The Doomed used the uvak to fly to Keshtah where they made their final stand at the Battle of Sessal Spire . While all members of the Doomed died during the conflict , Dreypa was ultimately defeated by his former ally Spinner , who also destroyed the Doomed ' s last remaining starship in the process . As a result , a major threat to the Tribe was ended and Spinner was elevated from brigand to hero for his role in saving the Tribe from Dreypa . Following the defeat of Dreypa ' s rebellion , Grand Lord Hilts sent a second expedition to Eshkrene to explore the Doomed ' s settlement . Following their deaths , the settlement ' s buildings had disintegrated into ruins since their will was no longer protecting the settlement . During a private meeting with Spinner , Varner acknowledged that he had sent the " Southern Star " to Eshkrene because he suspected that it was home to pre - Tribe settlers . He had wanted to test this hypothesis and was ultimately proven right . It can be assumed that Eshkrene fell under the dominion of the Lost Tribe of Sith following the events of 2974 BBY . Geography and environment . Eshkrene was a continent that lay at the bottom of the planet Kesh . Due to its location , Eshkrene had a polar climate and was mainly covered in ice and snow for much of the year . While little is known about the geography of that continent , its northern fringes were habitable enough to support some trees and an unidentified non - sentient mammalian species . Eshkrene was also known to have hills and mountains . Eshkrene was known to have one settlement , known as the City of the Doomed , until 2974 BBY . This small city was home to a Force - sensitive multi - species community known as the Doomed , who lived in isolation from the planet ' s native Keshiri and the Lost Tribe of Sith for much of their existence . This city also had a series of stables that housed several animals from other parts of Kesh , which were grown and raised as livestock by the Doomed . Other known buildings at the City of the Doomed included the Hall of Regret and an unidentified tower , which stored the Doomed ' s " Great Weapon " — Remulus Dreypa . Society and culture . For approximately four thousand years , Eshkrene was home to a small offworld community known as the Doomed , who included members from various different species including S ' kytri , Wookiees , Rodians , Chagrians , Twi ' leks , and Weequays . The Doomed were the descendants of Dark Jedi and Jedi , whose arrival on Kesh had triggered the cataclysmic Great Calamity which was later remembered by the Keshiri as a great battle between two rival groups of gods : the Skyborn and the Destructors . Members of the Doomed committed their lives to finding true neutrality in the Force and rejected violence , except when it came to hunting . While the polar climate of Eshkrene made it impossible for the Doomed to grow crops , they were known to raise livestock animals at a series of stables in the City of the Doomed , which became their main source of food . They also dedicated themselves to maintaining a watchful vigil over the Keshiri and vowed to intervene in the event that the Keshiri were threatened . The Doomed ' s existence came to an end in 2974 BBY when Remulus Dreypa escaped to Keshtah . In response , the Doomed rallied their forces in an attempt to stop Dreypa but were all killed by the Sith Lord ' s Leviathan Sithspawn . Following the defeat of Dreypa ' s rebellion , the City of the Doomed crumbled into ruins since it was only the Doomed ' s will in the Force which was holding the settlement ' s ancient buildings together .
