Battle of Byllura

"Hey, Sith! Yeah, that's right! I don't want to go to work! Come and get me!"

- Kerra Holt

The Battle of Byllura took place in 1,032 BBY when Rusher's Brigade, carrying thousands of student refugees seeking refuge from the Battle of Gazzari, landed on the planet Byllura in the Dyarchy. While aware that Byllura was controlled by children, Jedi Knight Kerra Holt and Brigadier Jarrow Rusher did not realize that the children, Quillan and Dromika, were actually Sith Lords. Upon landing near Hestobyll, Holt attempted to reach the Loft in order to verify the safety of the planet. However, she soon realized that the planet's entire population was being manipulated using Force persuasion imposed by the twins Quillan and Dromika and communicated over the entire planet by Celegians. Holt initiated a fight with the Unifiers in the city, eventually engaging the Krevaaki Saaj Calician in a duel. Calician led Holt to the Loft, where the twins were nearly able to break Holt's mind. However, Holt was able to resist their mental persuasion long enough to be rescued by Rusher and the Diligence. Taking Quillan captive and fleeing the planet, the Diligence encountered the Dyarchy Fleet, which was preparing an assault on the Daimanate. However, before the assault could begin, the forces of the Arkadianate, under command of the Sith Lord Arkadia Calimondra, arrived and opened fire on the Dyarchy Fleet. In short order, the planet fell to the Arkadianate, and the Diligence and its passengers, including Quillan, were taken to the Arkadianate capital of Syned.
