Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Siege of Tahv occurred during Dreypa's rebellion in 2974 BBY. Following the Battle of Sessal Spire, the Lost Tribe anarchist Parlan Spinner stole the Last Hope that was hidden beneath the Tribe's capital of Tahv. However, the Sith Lord Remulus Dreypa learnt of Spinner's theft through the Force. He then contacted Spinner via hologram and threatened to destroy Tahv unless Spinner handed over the ship. Dreypa used the hostage Sith princess Takara Hilts to coerce Spinner into returning to Tahv.

However, Spinner used the Last Hope turbolaser cannons to destroy Dreypa's Leviathans, ancient Sithspawn capable of draining the life energies of other beings. Takara then killed the final Leviathan with Force lightning. Dreypa and Takara then ended up on the Last Hope. Spinner flew the starship to the Southern Ocean where he returned the it to Dreypa, and escaped with Takara into the waters. Meanwhile, Dreypa took control of the ship only to find that the ship had been sent on a one-way journey into the volcanic crater Sessal Spire.

Dreypa was killed during the subsequent battle and no information about Kesh's existence escaped to the wider galaxy until after the Second Galactic Civil War. Following the battle, the former anarchist Spinner was elevated as a hero of the Tribe. A grateful Grand Lord Varner Hilts even offered him a job as one of the Grand Lord's Hands, an elite agent. Meanwhile, Spinner developed a romantic relationship with his former enemy Takara.
