The Sea of Flames, a relatively small sea, acted as a divider between the landmasses of Keshtah Minor and Alanciar on the world of Kesh. Back in 2975 BBY, the Lost Tribe of Sith devised a scheme to reach Alanciar via an expeditionary mission, which necessitated crossing the Sea of Flames to return to Keshtah. Following an assault on their mission by Alanciari troops, the surviving members of Edell Vrai's unsuccessful undertaking made their way back across the Sea of Flames to Alanciar. They commandeered an Alanciari fishing vessel, the Mischance, and took the Alanciari signals expert Jogan Halder with them.
