The Akti Amaugh, also known as the Valley of Caves, was a sacred valley in the Lowlands on Aldhani. The Nasma Klain—a river sacred to the Dhani people—used to flow through there and a temple called the Nasma Brani sat on its banks. When the Galactic Empire came to Aldhani[1] by 18 BBY,[3] they seized the Alkenzi Air Base and claimed the land for Emperor Palpatine after discovering the unique storage possibilities in the caverns. The Empire later built a dam to block the Nasma Klain and stationed the Aldhani Garrison there. The newly constructed dam was used as a distribution hub to store weapons and supplies, including the Imperial quarterly payroll of the entire sector.[1]
Once every three years, the Dhanis gathered at the Nasma Brani[4] for the Mak-ani bray Dhani, a celestial event also known as the Eye of Aldhani.[5]
