Battles for the Aranyan holocron

"If we can’t find [the holocron] before Fauth… well, the game’s up. Everything that we’ve fought for, all that we’ve sacrificed, it’ll all collapse and be for nought. And I think we can both agree that can’t be allowed to happen."

- Rend Arcturius By the year 1140 ABY, the Fauth State conquest had slowed down. Dark side warlord Raixan Fauth turned his sights to consolidating his new territory, while also focusing on the acquisition of a legendary holocron, believed to hold the greatest secrets of the light. With the Triumvirate Subversive Intelligence Service attempting to stop him, a series of battles erupted across the galaxy.

Veteran padawan Anhri Claynes, of the New Jedi Order, believed that she had discovered the holocron's location: the Unknown Regions planet of Aranya. Receiving permission from both the SIS and the Council, she and her Master Rend Arcturius traveled to the planet. However, Fauth's forces had followed them, and they were captured. Arcturius allowed himself to be taken prisoner, allowing his apprentice time to reach the surface, where she allied with local Force-sensitive Calen Solayr, astromech droid Z1-X1, and hyperspace explorer Skyric Worrsayn. The struggle become a full on military one when they managed to contact the SIS, leading to official confrontation. Barely escaping on the starship Kitehawk, the group managed to rescue Arcturius from the enemy flagship with the holocron in tow. Fauthian forces pursued them across the Unknown Regions, before they managed to reconnoiter with the SIS at Hideaway.

Desperate to acquire the holocron, Fauth launched a full assault on the SIS' stronghold, even deploying the Dread Crown superweapon. The arrival of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate's naval forces and the destruction of the Crown forced his hand, however, and he eventually retreated as the Jedi took possession of the holocron.

Raixan's defeat at the hands of the Jedi would later prove to be the main catalyst for the Second Great Jedi Purge that followed, and the loss of Arcturius and Underground founder Kyren Zath would heavily hurt anti-Fauth forces in the coming years and battles.
