Mission to Lisal

On 2:7:1,385 BBY, Naathree Basrasht led a mission to Lisal to recapture her escaped dark side adept, Megaera, and kill Darth Alecto's other Sith disciples.

Some months earlier, Megaera had fled Basrasht on ; Basrasht's Sith Acolytes Neun-Jai Vertec and Azeykus Nonzi successfully tracked Megaera to Lisal, Alecto's throneworld, but Alecto refused to surrender Megaera to them. Basrasht was incensed by Alecto's defiance and plotted revenge, but felt constrained by the Council of Five's law that forbade the killing of anointed Sith Lords (like Alecto) on pain of torturous death; though Basrasht had no moral objection to killing Alecto, she feared the wrath of the Furies.

An opening came when an informant alerted Basrasht that Alecto had been assigned to effect the assassinations of a number of diplomats on. Basrasht set her invasion for the same day, assuming Alecto would go to Commenor personally, as the mission had come down from the Council of Five. Unbeknownst to her, however, Rhutizh'chal'safan learned of her plans and informed Alecto, who sent Nevya Khiyali to Commenor in her place and plotted to turn the tables on Basrasht.

When Basrasht arrived on Lisal, she sent her adepts and Acolytes to hunt down Alecto's minions, but kept Skalacornitythrulos to track down Megaera by scent. While Basrasht and Skala tracked Megaera, Alecto's adepts and assassins ambushed and massacred Basrasht's subordinates, though Rewz was also killed in the conflict.

Basrasht found Megaera in the underground of Alecto's fortress, but was surprised by Alecto, who had concealed herself in the Force. After taunting Basrasht with her failed mission, Alecto considered letting Basrasht leave in accordance with the Council's law, but voiced her suspicion that Basrasht was planning to attack her the moment her back was turned. Though Basrasht denied it, Megaera—a telepath—said she was. Enraged, Basrasht lunged at Megaera, but Alecto immobilized her with before killing her with a lightsaber blow.

Despite the catastrophic failure of the mission and her own death, Basrasht had a species of revenge—the mission to Commenor was largely successful, but Nevya Khiyali was killed by Nawsa Arodion, depriving Alecto of her most trusted and capable lieutenant.
