Mission to Ilum

Early in the year 4 ABY, the Mandalorian pirate Naastau traveled to Ilum after his pirate collective, the Blaster Brethren, was destroyed during an attack by an Imperial Navy task force. At Ilum, Naastau, intent on acquiring kyber crystals to make up for the assets he lost in the attack, discovered a large Jedi hideout where dozens of Jedi Padawans, Knights, and Masters resided. Coincidentally, a revolt among some the Jedi had been taking place during his arrival, which resulted in a conflict as several of the Jedi dissidents attempted to capture the temple and kill the Jedi loyalists. There were also independent treasure hunters who had traveled to Ilum at the same time for the same purpose as Naastau. Naturally, Naastau and the treasure hunters allied themselves with the Jedi dissidents and agreed to besiege the enclave; the dissidents would gain control of the enclave and Naastau as well as the treasure hunters would gain some of the artifacts and items stored within. Most of the Jedi dissidents and treasure hunters were killed in the fighting, and Naastau himself was wounded, though he did manage to infiltrate the enclave briefly and make away with several holocrons before fleeing Ilum in the Watchman's Fright.
