In the year 3 ABY, Crimson Dawn, a criminal organization that had resurfaced, launched an assault against the Mourner's Wail Syndicate. This assault occurred at the Mourner's Wail's fortress located on the planet of Dotharian. The reason for this attack was the refusal of the Mourner's Wail leader, Lord Khamdek, to align his syndicate with Crimson Dawn. While the Mourner's Wail suffered significant losses as a result of the attack, Khamdek, a number of soldiers, the bounty hunter T'onga, her wife Losha Tarkon, and their pet nexu named Furball managed to overcome the Crimson Dawn forces.
