During the period of the New Sith Wars, preceding the Light and Darkness War that brought the wars to a close, a significant battle took place on the world of Almas (a planet). Darth Rivan, the Dark Lord of the Sith, was forced to retreat from his stronghold on Almas by a Jedi contingent, even though the fortress suffered only partial destruction. The Jedi recorded the system's coordinates and named it the Cularin system; however, it faded into obscurity until it was found again in 232 BBY.
