Battle of Sessal Spire

The Battle of Sessal Spire occurred in 2974 BBY during Dreypa's rebellion on the planet Kesh. After being routed at the Battle of the Marisota Floodplain, the Sith Lord Remulus Dreypa ordered his forces to retreat to Sessal Spire, a volcano overlooking the Southern Ocean. They were pursued by an army sent by the Lost Tribe of Sith under Grand Consort Iliana Hilts.

Following the collapse of negotiations, Dreypa used his amulet to awaken several hibernating Leviathans, reptilian Sithspawn that devoured the life energies of other beings. The Leviathans quickly wiped out much his former allied army and the Tribal army. Shortly later, the Doomed—the descendants of ancient stranded Jedi and Dark Jedi who had landed on Kesh following the Hundred-Year Darkness—attacked Dreypa's Leviathans but were also overcome by the Sithspawn.

During the battle, two former enemies Sith anarchist Parlan Spinner and the Sith princess Takara Hilts joined forces after Spinner rescued her mother Iliana from being devoured by a Leviathan. They were subsequently joined by the last surviving member of the Doomed—Kaliska who revealed the existence of a hidden Jedi starship beneath the Tribal capital Tahv. Prior to her death, she convinced the Sith to destroy it in order to prevent Dreypa from escaping offworld.
