“I AM CHANATH CHA”

Dreaming of a freer galaxy, Lady Qi’ra and her organization, Crimson Dawn, have waged a secret war against the Empire. Qi’ra activated operatives across the galaxy to cause havoc and distract the Emperor while she sought a power capable of deposing the Sith Lord.

Qi’ra learned the means of prevalling against the Sith from her predecessor, Maul. His teachings led her to the Fermataga Cage, an artifact that sealed away an ancient Sith Lord suspended in time. Qi’ra tasked the Archivist with freeing this Sith to serve as a weapon against the Emperor.

Aware of Qi’ra’s schemes, the Emperor destroyed her flagship, the ”Vermillion”, this forced Qi’ra to escape to her stronghold Dawnfall, where a Crimson Dawn fleet prepares to strike against the Empire.

Joined by Kho Phon Farrus, the Archivist’s work on the Fermata Cage remains the key to Qi’ra’s plan. The disturbance in the Force the artifact produces served as a beacon to Qi’ra’s enemies and a hasty second attempt at using it guided Darth Vader to its location. Chanath Cha and the Orphans arrived to defend the Fermata Cage, but Darth Vader fears no opponent….
