Capture of Skarpos

In 1032 BBY during the Republic Dark Age, the Sith Lord Odion's principality the Odionate invaded the planet Skarpos, seeking to capture it from Lord Malakite's forces in the Menagerie, his personal realm. A Sith invasion force led by the Novitiate lieutenant Yulan engaged Malakite's space forces and landed on Skarpos. The landing force included a disguised Jedi Knight Kerra Holt who had infiltrated the Novitiates under the pseudonym Mercy. Yulan's forces sustained substantial casualties during an ambush by Lord Malakite's forces. Malakite's forces took advantage of the enemy's chaos to organize a strategic retreat but he vowed to return to his territory. They were subsequently reassigned by the Odionate Claimer Wayman for a new assignment to locate the Helm of Ieldis, an ancient Sith relic. Meanwhile, Odion's invasion force occupied the planet.
