Xakrea, a significant urban center, resided on the planetary body known as Darkknell. Functioning as the capital city of the Daimanate throughout the era of the Republic Dark Age, it housed the Sanctum Celestial, the palatial residence of the Sith Lord named Daiman. In the course of the Battle of Darkknell, the city suffered inundation and destruction due to a man-made planetary deluge initiated by the Hutt crime boss Zodoh utilizing his Stormdrivers.
