Darth Wredd's insurgency

"Ask yourselves, do you feel safe? The Sith have been defeated and a new peace has descended on the galaxy. Or has it? You tell yourself that this new Triumvirate Federation is stronger than the sum of its parts, but you know that's a lie. The Empress holds no real power. The Jedi are only a shadow of what they once were. The Galactic Alliance fleet is broken and weak."

- Darth Wredd

In the year 138 ABY, the renegade Sith known as Darth Wredd initiated an insurgency against both the One Sith and the Galactic Federation Triumvirate. The One Sith were in hiding and secretly infiltrating planetary governments throughout the galaxy, but Wredd, laying low on the planet Mala in the Surd Nebula, killed his master and captured Yalta Val, an Imperial Knight of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate. He then began supervising the construction of the Carreras communications array while posing as Val.

A hydrospanner was thrown into the works when the junk dealer Ania Solo discovered Val's lightsaber inside of an Imperial communications droid. The Carreras Incident&mdash;Wredd's attempt to retrieve the weapon, first through attacking Solo at her junk yard and later by setting up a blockade of the Carreras system &mdash;finally saw Solo and her companions captured by a Shifalan patrol ship and imprisoned aboard the communications array. When the Shifalan governor Biala realized that Wredd was in fact a Sith, she released the prisoners, who attacked Wredd in one of the array's hangars.

Wredd gravely injured Solo's companions: the engineer Sauk, the droid AG-37, and the Imperial Knight Jao Assam, who had come to the system to find the missing Val. The relatively unscathed Solo commandeered Jao's starfighter and followed the departing Wredd to the surface of Mala, where Wredd was using the communications array to broadcast a declaration of his insurgency across the galaxy. Solo helped Val escape, and as he dueled Wredd with his recovered lightsaber, Solo noticed that the Sith was remotely causing the communications array to crash into Mala. She returned to the array to retrieve her friends aboard AG-37's freighter, and rescued Val before the crash could occur. Wredd, meanwhile, escaped.

The makeshift crew of AG-37's freighter were retrieved by the Animus, a Star Destroyer belonging to the Galactic Triumvirate. Although Sauk and AG-37 took their leave, Jao Assam went renegade and left in a shuttle with Solo to hunt for Wredd. Their hunt took them to Nalyd, and later to Dac. Wredd, meanwhile, was seeking out various Sith who had infiltrated planetary governments and systematically killing them, hoping to be the only Sith left. At Dac's shipyards, Solo and Assam discovered that the Sith Lord Darth Luft was building a pirate fleet, information that their communications droid transmitted to Yalta Val. As a space battle raged, Val and Admiral Gar Stazi of the Triumvirate arrived at Dac with a fleet.
