Battle of Phaseera

The Battle of Phaseera was fought during the New Sith Wars between the Brotherhood of Darkness and the Galactic Republic. In 1002 BBY, the Brotherhood set their sights on the Republic manufacturing world of Phaseera, and an elite unit, the Gloom Walkers, was sent to take out a Republic outpost that guarded a valley leading toward the Republic base camp in Phaseera's capital city. Before the Gloom Walkers moved out, one of their number, Sergeant Dessel, staged a mutiny and took control of the unit after knocking out their previous commander, Lieutenant Ulabore. Due to a seemingly impossible display of shooting by Dessel, who had been blinded by a flash canister, the Gloom Walkers succeeded in taking the outpost, paving the way for a Brotherhood victory. After the battle, word of Dessel's abilities spread, and he was taken to the Sith Academy on Korriban, where he was trained in the dark side of the Force, eventually becoming Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Bane.
