Alanciar

Alanciar, also known as Keshtah Major, was a large continent located on the planet Kesh's southern hemisphere. It was home to a Keshiri civilization who called themselves the Alanciari. It was situated halfway across the world from Keshtah Minor, the continent that housed the city Tahv and the Lost Tribe of Sith. Sith Grand Lord Yaru Korsin used data collected during the starship Omen crash on Kesh to determine the existence of Keshtah Major, but he kept its existence a secret from the rest of the Tribe. In 4975 BBY, the Keshiri rebel Adari Vaal and three-hundred surviving followers fled to Alanciar where they warned the Alanciari about the threat posed by the Sith. As a result, the Alanciari developed a highly-disciplined and centralized society with a strong military to resist any invasion from Keshtah.

Alanciar was finally discovered in 3000 BBY by Caretaker Varner Hilts, who went on to lead the Tribe into a new era, in which they successfully conquered the larger continent. Despite heavy losses and a mutiny by High Lord Korsin Bentado, The Sith were able to convince the Alanciari to willingly submit to their rule by using the Alanciari soldier Jogan Halder to convince his people that the Sith did not actually pose a threat to them. Following the "Unification", Alanciar would develop close maritime trading links with Kesh and Alanciari sailing ships would play an important role in exploring the uncharted northern hemisphere and south pole, Eshkrene, of the planet Kesh.
