The Eternal Empire's takeover of Darvannis happened early during their Eternal Empire conquest of the galaxy. Darvannis, being relatively unimportant to the Galactic Republic and the rebuilt Sith Empire, was only protected by mercenaries employed by the Hutt Cartel. The Eternal Fleet swiftly defeated these mercenaries, seizing the planet for the Eternal Empire. Subsequently, a factory was built there, manufacturing ships, weaponry, and Skytrooper droids for the Eternal Empire's military.
