Captain Vasque Mirlan commanded a squad of soldiers clad in white armor. Their starship met its end in a crash within the Ordan Spine Mountains of the Wild Space planet Weik. Following this catastrophe, Mirlan guided his company through the Karnik Valley, ordering the inhabitants to submit to his rule, and instructing his soldiers to set fire to settlements as they progressed. Although the local military forces were unable to compete with Mirlan's soldiers and their superior weaponry that spat bolts of burning light, a quartet of Force-sensitives, armed with ancient lightsabers they referred to as "sunfire swords", managed to eliminate Mirlan along with a considerable number of his troops. After Mirlan's demise, the surviving soldiers scattered into the hills. The four heroes only asked for the rights to the land where his ship had crashed. They then gave the wreckage of the ship a new name, Adamite Tower, and became known as the Paladins of the Adamite Tower, a band of itinerant warrior judges.
