Asrai cult massacre

"I've had a vision. I know what the galaxy must become, what it should be. I know what the future shall look like. "Raixan, what are you-?!""You are not a part of it."

- Raixan Fauth to an Asrai cult elder. Sometime before the Fauth State conquest, dark side warrior Raixan Fauth turned against his parents and masters, the Asrai cult, and initiated a massacre against them. It was an immediate result of the raid on Cryst Village, where most of Fauth's men had been slaughtered. Among the wreckage, Raixan had come to an epiphany about the nature of the galaxy and the place of order within it. Choosing to enforce his vision, he gathered what members of the cult would follow him and with their aid constructed his own lightsaber. Rallying their forces, the beginnings of what would become the Fauth State launched an attack on the cult in order to exterminate them.

The battle was quick and brutal. Caught by surprise, the Asrai lost huge amounts of their numbers early on, but managed to rally and counterattack. Fauth himself lead the charge, dueling some of the cult's best fighters and managing to defeat them, while his scant troops dealt with the more minor opponents. Eventually, the future conquerer arrived at the chambers of the elders, and engaged in furious Force battle, and managed to overcome them, ripping vital information out of their minds before killing them.

Though a small and not very noteworthy conflict on the galactic skill, the aftermath of the massacre would have a massive impact on the galaxy in the years to come.
