Keshiri uprising in Keshtah

In 4975 BBY, a Keshiri uprising occurred in Keshtah Minor, which had become the domain of the Lost Tribe of Sith, a group of predominantly Human Sith who had become stranded on the planet Kesh during the Great Hyperspace War. This uprising was led by Adari Vaal, a geologist and the "Daughter of the Skyborn", who had turned against the Sith following the death of her elder son Finn Vaal. She also realized that the Sith were not the Skyborn, ancient gods in Keshiri religion which had fought the malevolent Destructors in a "great battle." Adari and several other like-minded Keshiri formed an underground resistance movement which aimed to overthrow the Sith and expel them from Kesh.

Their plot involved stealing the Tribe's uvak, winged reptilian beasts of burden, while the principal Sith were meeting at their mountainside temple. However, Adari's younger son Tona Vaal, a traveling stable master, betrayed the resistance by revealing their plot to Nida Korsin, the younger daughter of Grand Lord Yaru Korsin. While the rebels succeeded in stealing uvak from the mountainside temple, Nida and her Skyborn Rangers were able to prevent the Keshiri rebels from stealing more uvak from the Sith capital of Tahv. Adari and a thousand Keshiri rebels then fled into exile across the Endless Sea. She and three hundred of these survivors eventually managed to reach Alanciar, a second continent in the planet's southern hemisphere which was home to another Keshiri civilization. Adari succeeded in warning the Alanciari about the threat posed by the Sith and they developed into a highly militarized and advanced civilization.
