Seizure of Eorm

Following a failed assassination attempt on the ruling Grand Lord Varner Hilts in 2974 BBY, the Sith assassin Parlan Spinner received a sentence of servitude aboard the Alanciari vessel, the Southern Star. The Lost Tribe then tasked the ship's captain, Chegg, with a mission to explore Kesh's South Pole, specifically Eshkrene, a vast, frozen landmass. Unbeknownst to them, Hilt's daughter, Sith princess Takara Hilts, pursued them, driven by a desire to explore Alanciar but unaware of the ship's true purpose. Subsequently, the Doomed, descendants of Jedi and Dark Jedi stranded on Kesh after the Hundred-Year Darkness, captured the Sith expedition.

Parlan, along with the surviving Keshiri crew, managed to escape. They absconded with the Doomed's "Great Weapon," which was the ancient Sith Lord Remulus Dreypa, who had been confined within an oubliette for four millennia. He pledged to return to the stars and exact vengeance upon the Jedi and the Galactic Republic. After their escape from Eshkrene, Parlan and Dreypa piloted the Southern Star to Eorm, a port situated on the southeastern coast of Keshtah Minor. Among their captives were Parlan's rival, Takara Hilts, and Kaliska, the leader of the Doomed. These two women were imprisoned after an unsuccessful attempt to dissuade Spinner from "opening" the "Great Weapon."

Eorm was also Parlan Spinner's birthplace before his life of crime. Like much of Keshtah Minor and Alanciar, the Lost Tribe of Sith governed Eorm, which was a center for textile production. Galathos, the Sith Lord in charge, was known for his cruelty and treated the townspeople as slaves. The inhabitants of Eorm were descendants of Human slaves who had been expelled from the Tribe long ago. Led by Ermon Parrah, these ancestors of the Human slaves had participated in a failed attempt to commandeer the crippled Sith ship Omen and return to the stars. As punishment, these rebels were enslaved and banished to Eorm. Over time, other exiles, including both Keshiri and Human individuals who had fallen out of favor with the Tribe's leadership in the capital Tahv, joined these rebels.

Parlan Spinner himself was a descendant of Ermon Parrah and resented his inferior position within Sith society. For generations, Spinner's family had toiled as tailors and seamstresses to spin a cord that would reach the stars. Given the impossibility of this task, Spinner and his family remained slaves for generations.

After several days of sailing across the Southern Ocean, the Southern Star finally made its way to Eorm. Spinner also gave Lord Dreypa information on the events of the past four millennia, specifically regarding the Lost Tribe. Lord Dreypa expressed his surprise that a whole Sith civilization had arisen on Kesh while he was trapped in the oubliette. Dreypa also commended Spinner for freeing him, stating that his own survival was a form of retribution against his former Dark Jedi allies, who had sealed him within the oubliette. After informing his new master about Eorm, Spinner urged Dreypa to demonstrate his Force powers on Kesh and even suggested destroying the town. Spinner also advised Dreypa to hold one of his prisoners, Takara, hostage, given her father's prominent position within the Lost Tribe.

Through the Force, Dreypa sensed growing panic among the people of Eorm. The town's ruler, Lord Galathos, had ordered the burning of an entire block of houses to punish the town's inhabitants for failing to meet their quota of sailcloth. Following the discovery of the new continent Alanciar the previous year, the Tribe required more sailcloths to equip its new fleet of wooden sailing ships. When a Keshiri man attempted to reason with Lord Galathos, the Sith Lord attempted to use Force-choke on him. However, Lord Dreypa intervened, killing Galathos with Force lightning. Dreypa then used the Force to eliminate Galathos' remaining men and demolish several buildings.

The surviving townspeople were amazed by Dreypa's display of Force powers, which surpassed the abilities of the Lost Tribe. Parlan Spinner then attempted to rally the population by taking advantage of their issues with the Lost Tribe and presenting Dreypa as their liberator, who would fight against their former oppressors. However, Dreypa refused to fight for the slaves of Eorm or anyone else. As a "true" Sith, he reiterated his beliefs of only fighting for himself. He also reprimanded the townspeople for not following the "true Sith path" before criticizing the Tribe for growing "fat and soft" through the labors of others. During his speech, Dreypa outlined his goals of escaping Kesh for good and returning to the wider galaxy, which he regarded as his true domain.

Dreypa then urged the Eorm crowd to join him if they wanted revenge against their former Sith overlords who had tormented. Kaliska and Takara were also present during the speech and noted the Sith Lord' oratory skills. Kaliska also warned Takara not to underestimate the dark side powers of Lord Dreypa since he had once threatened Kesh. Dreypa then interrupted their conversation and outlined his ambitions of conquering the Lost Tribe, intending to teach them what it meant to be Sith. When Takara protested, he boasted of killing her father Grand Lord Hilts, whom he dismissed as a feeble leader and a fool. Later, they were joined by Spinner who had collected the Sith garrison's collection of lightsabers and handed one to Dreypa before distributing it among the Sith rebels. As a reward for his services, Dreypa promoted Spinner as a Sith Lord.

Following his conversation with Kaliska and Takara, Lord Dreypa ordered his Keshiri supporters to bind these captives. He intended to use Takara Hilts as a hostage to negotiate with the Lost Tribe. He also gave Lords Spinner orders to muster troops for an assault on the capital Tahv. While Dreypa and Spinner were making preparations for their attack, Takara and Kaliska managed to escape from their Keshiri captors. Takara personally slaying their guards with two stolen lightsabers she had stolen from Spinner. The two women then headed to the local uvak stables at Eorm which was home to the town's entire entire population of uvaks. These winged reptiles were used as beasts of burden and to transport goods and news across Keshtah Minor. In addition, uvaks were also use as a form of airpower in military conflicts on Kesh.

Kaliska then taught Takara how to use the Force to convince all the uvaks to take them back to Eshkrene. Since the Doomed had committed themselves to protecting the Keshiri, Kaliska regarded the rejuvenated Dreypa as a serious threat to Kesh and the wider galaxy. She intended to bring back all the Doomed in order to stop Dreypa's ambitions. Using the uvaks, they succeeded in flying back to Eshkrene and bringing all the Doomed to Keshtah Minor. Meanwhile, Dreypa and Spinner's rebels clashed with the Tribe's forces at the Battle of the Marisota Floodplain. Despite initial successes, they suffered heavy casualties from the Tribe's air force, the Skyborn Rangers, and were forced to retreat to Sessal Spire, a volcano on the southeastern coast of Keshtah Minor.

While not officially named, the Seizure of Eorm was the first known conflict of Dreypa's rebellion, which devastated parts of Keshtah Minor in 2974 BBY. It first appeared in John Jackson Miller's Lost Tribe of the Sith—Spiral 3, the third comic issue of the Spiral comic story, which was released on October 10, 2012.
