Battle of Darkknell

"...And it looks like Zodoh's doing a number on Daiman's defenders. Not a battleship to be seen -- The other Sith Lords must have lured them away. The Hutt's blackmail worked. It usually does!"

- Jenn Devaad

The Battle of Darkknell was a three-way battle in 1,032 BBY during the Second Charge Matrica conflict of the New Sith Wars. It pitted the Hutt crime lord Zodoh against the Daimanate Sith Lord Daiman and the Galactic Republic represented by Jedi Knight Kerra Holt and Grace Command Captain Jenn Devaad. During the battle, Zodoh besieged the Daimanate capital of Darkknell and unleashed his fleet of Stormdrivers&mdash;large capital ships capable of creating artificial floods. By intimidating the Sith with this new superweapon and drowning Daiman's worlds, Zodoh planned to secure a stake in the Grumani sector, traditionally Sith domain.

Zodoh's fleet overcame a weak Daimanate naval resistance and proceeded to flood Darkknell. However, his plans were interrupted by Kerra and Jenn who managed to infiltrate his flagship Voracious and disable the data processing center, in the process destroying the warship and disrupting the coordination of the Stormdrivers. Stripped of their leader, Daiman's forces were able to regain the initiative and routed Zodoh's forces. Zodoh was subsequently taken captive by the Sith Lord and executed, ending any Hutt ambitions of expanding into Sith Space.
