Liberation of Coruscant (Lost Tribe of Sith emergence)

The liberation of Coruscant was the final campaign of the Lost Tribe of Sith's emergence in the year 44 ABY, when the forces of the New Jedi Order and their allies attempted to destroy those of the Sith, who had infiltrated the Galactic Alliance government on the planet Coruscant. The liberation movement took place over several weeks, with the early stages fought mostly in secret until the dark side entity Abeloth sparked widespread devastation by causing seismic and volcanic activity across the planet surface. The conflict ended with the destruction of the Lost Tribe and the Assault on the New Jedi Temple and the Destruction of one of Abeloth's bodies in the New Jedi Temple, which coincided with the Duel at the Font of Power where the last body of Abeloth was killed by Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker and Vestara Khai, and finally her Force essence which brought about her final if not permanent death at the hands of Grand Master Luke Skywalker and Darth Krayt. Luke believed that Abeloth would return from death, so he sent a dozen Jedi Knights to look for the Mortis monolith and the planet Mortis to retrieve the Dagger of Mortis that killed The Ones.
