Around 3712 BBY, Darth Ikoral, a Sith Lord, initiated an adventure to locate additional settlements of Sith pureblood individuals. As a firm advocate for the sanctity of Sith lineage, Ikoral brought several purebloods on his flagship, the Red Reaper. Following the disappearance of Darth Ikoral's fleet and the assumption that the Sith Lord had died, Ikoral resurfaced seventy years following the initial departure of his fleet, launching assaults against both the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire.
