Final Occultation

The Final Occultation was a cult which operated during the Republic Era and sought to bring chaos to the galaxy through the use of the chaotic and anarchic aspects of the Force which flowed from the Netherworld. Led by the three priests Heldi Cerebron, Vasik Aldritch, and an "emissary of chaos," most of the members of the cult were detained by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious for attempting to expose him. Placed on a prison ship en route to prison planet, the ship's officers were quickly overrun by the cultists aboard, who began a ritual to open a rift to madness and echo screams across the galaxy. Sent by his master Sidious, the Sith apprentice Darth Maul travelled to the ship and killed at least two of the leaders, before crashing the ship into an ice planet below.
