During the Imperial Period, the inhabitants of V'eldalv, the capital city of the planet Ryvellia, staged an uprising against the Galactic Empire. Imperial forces forcibly stopped the insurrection with an orbital bombardment that completely destroyed the city. After the uprising, Cryle Cavv returned to his homeworld Ryvellia. In the ruins of V'eldalv, he rescued his nephew Sienn Sconn and discovered that his relatives, Tascin and Rannah, had been killed during the bombardment.
