Mission to Darkknell ( New Sith Wars ) The Mission to Darkknell took place in 1032 BBY when the Bothan spy Narsk Ka ' hane was hired by the Sith Lord Odion . Odion sent Ka ' hane to Darkknell to gather information on his brother Daiman ' s new prototype warship , the " Convergence " , being built at the Black Fang testing facility , and subsequently destroy the ship . Ka ' hane , using his Cyricept Personal Concealment System , Mark VI , infiltrated the Black Fang and downloaded the ship ' s technical readouts onto a datapad . He then planted baradium thermal charges , which he planned to activate using a detonator once he was safely away from the facility . Ka ' hane left the facility , but was spotted by Jedi Knight Kerra Holt , who wanted the Mark VI for her own use against Daiman . After a chase through Xakrea , Holt incapacitated Ka ' hane . After destroying Ka ' hane ' s datapad with her lightsaber , she detonated the thermal charges , destroying the Black Fang . Holt then stuffed Ka ' hane into a garbage bin , where he was later found and captured by Daiman ' s Corrector s . History . Background . During the Republic Dark Age , the Grumani sector in the Outer Rim Territories was the battleground between several rival Sith Lords . Two of these Sith Lords were the brothers Odion , who saw himself as the Destroyer of the Universe , and Daiman , who saw himself as the Creator of the Universe . In 1032 BBY , Odion sent the free - lance Bothan spy Narsk Ka ' hane to infiltrate the Daimanate capital of Darkknell . Narsk ' s mission was to obtain intelligence on the Sith Lord Daiman ' s new Convergence Tactical Assault Vehicle , a " one – ship – fits – all " warship . He was also given a baradium thermal detonator to destroy the vessel after he collected sufficient intelligence on it . For this mission , Narsk was equipped with a Cyricept Mark VI stealth suit , which allowed him to become invisible . Unknown to Odion and Narsk Ka ' hane , a Jedi Knight errant named Kerra Holt had also embarked on a campaign of sabotage against Lord Daiman . Kerra was the lone survivor of the ill - fated Jedi Operation Influx on the planet Chelloa which had claimed the life of her Master Vannar Treece . Following the Chelloan affair , Kerra had spearheaded several strikes against weapons plants on a string of Daimanate worlds . In some cases , she was able to free the slave laborers and their families . This trail eventually led her to Darknnell , the capital of the Daimanate and the home of the Black Fang testing facility , the hub of Daiman ' s military research efforts . By destroying the Black facility , Kerra hoped to slow down Daiman ' s war production effort . For this mission , Kerra infiltrated Darkknell disguised as an itinerant laborer and found employment in the capital Xakrea as a tutor for the Sullustan girl Tan Tengo . Spy games . Narsk Ka ' hane spent an entire month scouting the Black Fang and collecting on the Convergence vehicle . Every night , he would visit the research facility while wearing his Cyricept Mark VI stealth suit , which allowed him to become invisible . The Bothan spent this period monitoring traffic patterns around the research facility and took note of the sentries guarding the obsidian structure ' s few openings . As a result of his work , Narsk located every route leading to the Black Fang test facility . Each night , he would visit a nearby secluded rooftop to change into his Cyricept Mark VI stealth suit . Over - confident , the Bothan used the same rooftop every night . Unfortunately , this proved to be his drawback since it enabled the Jedi Kerra to track his movements . While Narsk wanted to collect intelligence on the vehicle , Kerra wanted to destroy the vessel . On the final night of his mission , Narsk collected intelligence on the Convergence ' s energy shield package . Narsk had been able to spy on the Black Fang facility for the past month with little hindrance because Daiman had stalled the development of the vessel by adding riot - control features to the ship . After narrowly avoiding being crushed to death by the factory ' s torus , he planted a baradium detonator near the Convergence vehicle and escaped into the night . While heading back to his rooftop hiding place , Narsk was stalked by Kerra , whom he assumed was one of Daiman ' s Corrector s , Force - sensitive individuals who served as Daiman ' s minions . Narsk fled into the factory district but his opponent was able to outrun him by leaping across buildings . In an attempt to evade his pursuer , Narsk fled into a rubbish dump and managed to hitch a ride on a stolen speeder bike . Narsk attempted to flee to Little Duros in his transport . However , Kerra jumped onto the speeder bike from a nearby skybridge and managed to cling on to the vehicle with a six - meter - long chain . Preoccupied with trying to dislodge his pursuer , Narsk crashed the speeder bike into a skybridge . The Bothan spy survived the crash but was bruised and wounded with a sprained right leg . Kerra introduced herself as a Jedi to her opponent . Narsk claimed that he was a member of the non - existent Darkknell resistance but Kerra saw through the deception . After uncovering his datapad containing the intelligence he had collected on the Convergence vehicle , Kerra quickly deduced that he was a spy working for Odion . Since the Sith had destroyed her childhood and taken her parents , Kerra had a strong hatred for the Sith and their minions . Ignoring Narsk ' pleas that he was not a Sith but was merely a freelancer , she destroyed the datapad . Using Narsk ' s remote control , she ignited the thermal detonator which destroyed the entire Black Fang facility . Kerra then forced the Bothan to strip off his stealth suit and dumped him half - naked into a nearby rubbish bin . Kerra then returned to Tengo ' s home , where she boarded , leaving Narsk to the tender mercies of Daiman ' s law enforcement agencies . Upon arriving at the Tengo family residence , Kerra explained her absence to Tan ' s grandfather Gub Tengo by claiming that she had to work a late - shift . Aftermath . The baradium thermal detonator blast destroyed the entire Black Fang facility and Daiman ' s prototype Convergence Tactical Assault Vehicle . The blast also killed several of Daiman ' s most loyal workers , who had volunteered to work on the night - shift . Narsk Ka ' hane was later captured by Daiman ' s enforcers and was interrogated and tortured by his Sith interrogators . Narsk was even examined by Lord Daiman himself and under the strain of torture revealed that the " errant " Jedi Knight Kerra was present on Darkknell and had destroyed the Black Fang facility . Using a Force mental probe , Daiman also discovered that Narsk had been working for Odion and that he had been collecting intelligence on the Convergence project . With the " assistance " of Kerra , Narsk managed to escape his prison and returned back to Odionate space . Following the destruction of the Black Fang facility , Daiman purchased an arxeum , a mobile university , from the Sith Lord Ayanos Bactra , the ruler of a neighboring Sith princedom known as the Bactranate . In return , Daiman agreed to recruit the students who would be trained in the arts of war production . This exchange was to take place on the barren world of Gazzari , on the borders of the Daimanate and the Bactranate . However , this was actually a trap devised by Daiman to lure Odion to Gazzari . Daiman had also assembled a mercenary force to attack Odion on Gazzari while his fleet blockaded the planet , cutting of Odion ' s escape . Following a fierce battle , Daiman and Odion entered a temporary ceasefire to invade the Bactranate , under the orders of their grandmother Vilia Calimondra . Vilia had decided that Ayanos Bactra had outlived his usefulness to the Calimondra family and ordered her family members to eliminate Bactra . The Odion – Daiman sibling rivalry outlasted this temporary truce and eventually culminated in Odion ' s attempt to destroy the galaxy with an ancient Sith artifact known as the Helm of Ieldis . Behind the scenes . The Mission to Darkknell serves as the exposition of John Jackson Miller ' s 2011 novel " Knight Errant " , which was linked to his Dark Horse Comics " " series . The mission is told through the perspectives of the Bothan spy Narsk Ka ' hane and the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt .
