Seizure of Eorm The Seizure of Eorm occurred in 2974 BBY when the Sith Lord Remulus Dreypa seized the port town from the Lost Tribe of Sith . He used his dark side powers to kill the local Sith Lord Galathos and his garrison . Dreypa ' s powers marvelled the local population and many came to see him as a potential liberator against the Tribe . However , Dreypa was more interested in finding a way back to the galaxy . Following the battle , he promoted his local quisling Parlan Spinner as a Sith Lord . Meanwhile , the Sith princess Takara Hilts and the Doomed leader Kaliska took the opportunity to escape from Eorm with its entire herd of uvak s — winged reptilians . History . Background . Following a failed assassination attempt on the ruling Grand Lord Varner Hilts in 2974 BBY , the Sith assassin Parlan Spinner was sentenced to servitude on the Alanciar i mariner " Southern Star " . The Lost Tribe dispatched the ship ' s captain Chegg on an expeditionary mission to explore the planet Kesh ' s South Pole , which consisted of a large frozen landmass known as Eshkrene . However , Hilt ' s daughter Sith princess Takara Hilts followed them , hoping to explore Alanciar and unaware of the ship ' s true mission . The Sith expedition was later captured by the Doomed , the descendants of stranded Jedi and Dark Jedi who had become stranded on Kesh following the Hundred - Year Darkness . Parlan and the surviving Keshiri crew managed to escape and stole the Doomed ' s " Great Weapon " : the ancient Sith Lord Remulus Dreypa , who had been imprisoned within an oubliette for four thousand years . He vowed to return to the stars and seek revenge against the Jedi and the Galactic Republic . Following their escape from Eshkrene , Parlan and Dreypa sailed the " Southern Star " to Eorm , a port on the southeastern coast of Keshtah Minor . Among their captives were Parlan ' s nemesis Takara Hilts and the Doomed leader Kaliska . These two women had been taken prisoner following an unsuccessful attempt to convince Spinner not to " open " the " Great Weapon . " Eorm had also been Parlan Spinner ' s hometown prior to his criminal career . As with much of Keshtah Minor and Alanciar , Eorm was ruled by the Lost Tribe of Sith and was a producer of textiles . It was ruled by the Sith Lord Galathos who had reputation for cruelty and treated the townsfolk like slaves . Eorm ' s population itself was descended from a group of Human slaves who had been cast out of the Tribe in ancient times . The ancestors of these Human slaves led by Ermon Parrah had participated in a failed attempt to steal the crippled Sith ship " Omen " and return to the stars . As punishment , these rebels had been enslaved and exiled to Eorm . Gradually , these rebels were also joined by other exiles including both Keshiri and Human who had fallen out of favor with the Tribe ' s leadership in the capital Tahv . Parlan Spinner himself was a descendant of Ermon Parrah and resented his lowly status within Sith society . For generations , Spinner ' s family had toiled as tailors and seamstresses to spin a cord that would reach the stars . Since this task was physically impossible to achieve , Spinner and his family had remained slaves for generation . The Landing . After several days of sailing across the Southern Ocean , the " Southern Star " finally arrived at Eorm . Spinner also briefed Lord Dreypa on the events that had occurred in the past four thousand years particularly the Lost Tribe . Lord Dreypa expressed his bemusement that an entire Sith civilization had emerged on Kesh while he had been imprisoned within the oubliette . Dreypa also praised Spinner for freeing him and commented that his own survival was a form of revenge against his former Dark Jedi allies who had sealed him within the oubliette . After briefing his new master about Eorm , Spinner encouraged Dreypa to display his Force powers on Kesh and even advocated leveling the town . Spinner also advised Dreypa to use one of his prisoners , Takara , as a hostage due to her father ' s high position within the Lost Tribe . Through the Force , Dreypa sensed that panic was brewing among the populace of Eorm . In fact , the town ' s ruler Lord Galathos had ordered the burning of an entire block of houses to punish the town ' s inhabitants for failing to meet their quota of sailcloth . Since the discovery of a new continent Alanciar the previous year , the Tribe needed more sailcloths to outfit its new fleet of wooden sailing ships . When a Keshiri man tried to reason with Lord Galathos , the Sith Lord attempted to Force - choke him . However , Galathos was interrupted by Lord Dreypa who killed the Sith Lord with Force lightning . Dreypa then used the Force to killing Galathos ' remaining men and to level several buildings . The surviving townsfolk were awed by Dreypa ' s display of Force powers which exceeded the abilities of the Lost Tribe . Parlan Spinner then attempted to rally the population by exploiting their grievances with the Lost Tribe and presenting Dreypa as their liberator who would fight against their former oppressors . However , Dreypa refused to fight for the slaves of Eorm or for anyone else . As a " true " Sith , he reiterated his beliefs of only fighting for himself . He also reprimanded the townsfolk for not following the " true Sith path " before criticizing the Tribe for growing " fat and soft " through the labors of others . During his speech , Dreypa outlined his goals of escaping Kesh for good and returning to the wider galaxy , which he regarded as his true domain . Dreypa then harangued the Eorm crowd to join him if they wanted revenge against their former Sith overlords who had tormented . Kaliska and Takara were also present during the speech and noted the Sith Lord ' oratory skills . Kaliska also warned Takara not to underestimate the dark side powers of Lord Dreypa since he had once threatened Kesh . Dreypa then interrupted their conversation and outlined his ambitions of conquering the Lost Tribe , intending to teach them what it meant to be Sith . When Takara protested , he boasted of killing her father Grand Lord Hilts , whom he dismissed as a feeble leader and a fool . Later , they were joined by Spinner who had collected the Sith garrison ' s collection of lightsabers and handed one to Dreypa before distributing it among the Sith rebels . As a reward for his services , Dreypa promoted Spinner as a Sith Lord . Aftermath . Following his conversation with Kaliska and Takara , Lord Dreypa ordered his Keshiri supporters to bind these captives . He intended to use Takara Hilts as a hostage to negotiate with the Lost Tribe . He also gave Lords Spinner orders to muster troops for an assault on the capital Tahv . While Dreypa and Spinner were making preparations for their attack , Takara and Kaliska managed to escape from their Keshiri captors . Takara personally slaying their guards with two stolen lightsabers she had stolen from Spinner . The two women then headed to the local uvak stables at Eorm which was home to the town ' s entire entire population of uvak s . These winged reptiles were used as beasts of burden and to transport goods and news across Keshtah Minor . In addition , uvaks were also use as a form of airpower in military conflicts on Kesh . Kaliska then taught Takara how to use the Force to convince all the uvaks to take them back to Eshkrene . Since the Doomed had committed themselves to protecting the Keshiri , Kaliska regarded the rejuvenated Dreypa as a serious threat to Kesh and the wider galaxy . She intended to bring back all the Doomed in order to stop Dreypa ' s ambitions . Using the uvaks , they succeeded in flying back to Eshkrene and bringing all the Doomed to Keshtah Minor . Meanwhile , Dreypa and Spinner ' s rebels clashed with the Tribe ' s forces at the Battle of the Marisota Floodplain . Despite initial successes , they suffered heavy casualties from the Tribe ' s air force , the Skyborn Rangers , and were forced to retreat to Sessal Spire , a volcano on the southeastern coast of Keshtah Minor . Behind the scenes . While not officially named , the Seizure of Eorm was the first known conflict of Dreypa ' s rebellion , which devastated parts of Keshtah Minor in 2974 BBY .
