Mission to Alanciar

The Mission to Alanciar was an airborne exploratory flight launched by the Lost Tribe of Sith in 2975 BBY to explore the continent of Alanciar, a large continent lying to the west of Keshtah Minor. The mission was led by the High Lord Edell Vrai who had developed the Tribe's airships. Unknown to the Sith, the Herald Adari Vaal had fled to Alanciar two thousand years ago and had warned the local Alanciari about the threat posed by the Sith Tribe. The Alanciari developed a highly militaristic society designed to repel any invader. They had constructed a network of forts, ballistae and signal stations in the Shank region which faced Keshtah.

The Alanciari ballistae shot down the two of the Sith expedition's airships near Point Vigilance. Vrai's airship Candra crashed near Point Defiance where he and several survivors managed to capture two Alanciari locals: the Wardmaster Quarra Thayn and her lover soldier Jogan Halder. The Sith then captured a local trawler called the Mischance and retreated to the coast. Vrai managed to coerce Thayn into serving as a guide for an overland mission into Alanciar in exchange for sparing the life of her lover Halder. After receiving orders from Grand Lord Varner Hilts, the remaining Sith departed on the Mischance for Keshtah with the captive Halder. Despite the recent losses and the poor intelligence available on Alanciar, Vrai's rival High Lord Korsin Bentado invaded Alanciar with the Ebon Fleet, which consisted of sixty airships.
