Massacre of Aquilaris

The Massacre of Aquilaris was an attack by the Chagras Hegemony on the Galactic Republic planet of Aquilaris Minor in 1042 BBY during the Republic Dark Age. The Chagras Hegemony was a splinter state of the New Sith Empire which had fought a protracted war with the Republic and the Jedi Order for nearly a millennia since 2000 BBY. Chagras forces under the Sith Lord Odion wiped out much of the defenses, killed many civilians and destroyed much of the cityscape. Two survivors of the battle were the Jedi Knight Vannar Treece and the Human girl Kerra Holt. Due to her experiences, Kerra Holt joined the Jedi Order in an effort to avenge the destruction of her homeworld at the hands of Odion.
