The Dread Master Resurgence, also known as the Visit to Oricon, was a major event that occurred in 21 AE (2 ABY). The event began after Amaranda Vellaiya, a former Jedi Master and Combat Instructor, travelled to Oricon with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi to find a way to combat Emperor Vader. What they discovered were the holocrons of the Dread Masters, each one housing the essence of one of the Dread Masters. Amaranda found the holocron containing the essence of Bestia, Keeper of the Dread Seeds, and released her. The act of opening Bestia's holocron nearly cost Amaranda her body, though the Force Ghost of Valkorion protected her from Bestia's influence. After opening the holocron, Amaranda and Kenobi quickly fled aboard her vessel, leaving the planet behind as the Dread Masters awoke.

Background[]

After learning that they had been transported to another timeline, Amaranda and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi departed to find a way to combat Emperor Vader. With Valkorion guiding them, they traveled to the forgotten world of Oricon in search of the Dread Master Calphayus, Prophet of the Masters. In her own timeline, Amaranda held a brief conversation with Calphayus through his holocron, as he was the last of the surviving Dread Masters. In this new and alien timeline, however, all of the Dread Masters survived by transferring their essence into holocrons, housed within The Dread Fortress. From here, the Dread Masters could spread their influence as they slumbered, awaiting the time that they were finally awoken.

When Amaranda and Obi-Wan arrived at The Dread Fortress, the former Jedi Master located Bestia's holocron and opened it. Valkorion, using his power, managed to shield Amaranda from Bestia's influence, preventing the Dread Master from taking her as a host body. Even with his protection, she needed to gain distance from the holocron. To this end, she told Kenobi to pull her away from the holocron as it opened. Once it had been opened, Kenobi pulled her away from the holocron, disrupting the Essence Transfer Ritual, and making a run for Amaranda's ship.

Aftermath[]

While both Amaranda and Obi-Wan escaped Oricon safely, the Dread Masters were now awake and active once again. Bestia began awaking the others, and together they started to rebuilt their Dread Empire to dominate the galaxy. This was Amaranda's plan, as it would pit Vader's Empire against the Dread Masters and draw attention away from herself and Kenobi.
