Aquilaris Minor Aquilaris Minor , or simply Aquilaris , was a planet in the Grumani sector of the Outer Rim . Description . Aquilaris Minor was a predominantly ocean world , though it had some landmass . Its oceans were rich in marine flora and fauna including algae and eels which were harvested as food by members of the Seacroppers ' Guild . Much of its surface landmass was flat with no high mountain ranges . Known terrain included equatorial beaches and polar fjords . Its landmass also included at least one chain of islands near Capital Cay . The highest known point on Aquilaris was Tarrah Hill , which was even pregnable to flooding . The planet ' s main city Capital Cay served as a key seaside port with a large fleet of Seacropper Submersible s and boats . Capital Cay also boasted at least one spaceport for interstellar traffic . Due to its flat landmass and large oceans , the planet ' s landmass was vulnerable to global flooding . During the Aquilaris campaign , a fleet of Stormdriver s equipped with weaponized vaporators created a global flood which inundated much of Aquilaris ' surface landmass . History . Between 3701 BBY and 3699 BBY , the hyperlane of Hydian Way was charted through Aquilaris as part of the Seswenna Expansion . During or after this period , the planet joined the Galactic Republic and opened itself as a major resort world and exporter of seafood . While the Republic kept a foothold in the Grumani sector , the New Sith Wars threatened to tear the sector apart . Accepting refugees from abroad , Jedi Knight Vannar Treece led the resistance on this world before it fell to the Sith Chagras Hegemony in 1042 BBY . Following the death of Lord Chagras , his empire collapsed into several pocket states . Aquilaris was subsequently ruled by several different Sith Lords and its people suffered much poverty and deprivation under their rule . By 1032 BBY , the planet had been incorporated into Lord Daiman ' s princedom known as the Daimanate . His policies included exploiting Aquilaris as a source of seafood to feed his military forces , which led to severe hardship among the Aquilarians . As with his other subject worlds , Daiman built large statues and holographic projectors depicting himself to maintain his ideological grip over the planet . The Republic ' s Grace Command led by Baron Lemayne on Alderaan ran a top - secret operation which involved distributing the addictive spice Deluge to Sith - occupied space including Aquilaris . While it succeeded in weakening the Sith military forces without committing substantial Republic resources , the spice disrupted the lives of many Aquilarians who became addicts . Following a three - way battle at Capital Cay , the Daimanate garrison was overwhelmed by Hutt forces under Zodoh and Grace Command ' s Devil Squadron . Meanwhile , the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt infiltrated her homeworld after receiving a distress call from the Seacroppers ' Guild . She subsequently established contact with Devil Squadron and assisted in mopping - up operations against Daiman ' s Sith forces . While Grace Command was welcomed as liberators by the local population and delivered much needed food and medical relief supplies , they secretly distributed more stocks of Deluge spice . Their modus operandi involved departing from Aquilaris and then allowing Sith forces to recapture the planet , thus spreading the addiction . However , Devil Squadron was ambushed and captured by Zodoh following a dogfight in the Aquilaris Minor system . Meanwhile , Zodoh had deployed a fleet of Stormdriver s , capital ships capable of generating artificial floods . He intended to flood Aquilaris ' surface as a means of intimidating the local Sith lords . Zodoh forced Devil Squadron ' s Captain Jenn Devaad to bring back the remaining stocks of Deluge spice on Aquilaris . He planned to synthesize his own stock and then lace food supplies with the spice to weaken resistance in the Grumani sector . However , his scheme was sabotaged by Devaad who had rigged their containers with explosives . The ensuing explosion allowed her to escape and disrupted the Stormdrivers ' artificial storms and floods on Aquilaris . Meanwhile , Holt — with the assistance of local Seacroppers Padgett and Joad Kreel — managed to evacuate thousands of flood refugees to an underwater harvester station . Despite the widespread damage caused by the global flood , Aquilaris ' small population meant that fewer lives were lost . Satisfied with his successful testing on Aquilaris , Zodoh dispatched his Stormdrivers to Darkknell , the capital of Daiman ' s princedom . Following the Battle of Darkknell , the floods gradually subsided and the refugees were able to gradually return to their homes . Aquilaris was saved from further Sith incursions by false intelligence that it was still completely submerged in water . With its underwater harvester stations , Aquilaris would subsequently become a major base for shuttling refugees out of Sith space into Republic territory . Following the Aquilaris campaign , the flow of the Deluge spice was halted . Meanwhile , Devaad misled Grace Command with false intelligence that she had secured a contract for distributing Deluge to Aquilaris . En route , however , Devaad would arrange for the Deluge to be dumped into the space while the same transport ship would be used to ferry refugees to Republic space . Behind the scenes . Aquilaris Minor first appeared during the " " comic series , making its debut during a flashback scene in " " on November 10 , 2010 . The planet would then play a greater role in the plot of the " " story arc . Throughout the " Knight Errant " series , the planet has always been referred to as Aquilaris . Jason Fry confirmed that Aquilaris Minor was invented to account for mapping discrepancies between the planet Aquilaris from " Knight Errant " and previous sources .
