Around 517 BBY, it was thought that an old Sith Temple was located on the planet called Lamaredd.
During this era, numerous fishing trawlers – which were vital to the economy of the nascent city known as Bartyn's Landing – vanished unexpectedly in the open sea, yet their transponder signals remained active. Because there was no explanation, some residents of Bartyn's Landing spread stories that the sailors had found the Sith temple and that a Dark Lord of the Sith seized the trawlers as part of a plot to attack their city using the vessels. The actual cause was far less dramatic.
