"During the same war that birthed the silooth, the Sith introduced the warbird and the war behemoth."
―Sorzus Syn[2]

At some point prior to the creation of terentatek before 16,899 BBY,[1] the Sith Empire became embroiled in a war where the Sith pressed into military service for the first time various varieties of warbeast, including the silooth, the Sith warbird and the Sith war behemoth, in order to aid their campaign. During one major engagement of the war, the Battle of Kalsunor, hordes of mutated silooths were released by the Sith on the planet Kalsunor, and the creatures proceeded to ravish the world.[2] Following the Discovery of Korriban in 6900 BBY,[3] Jen'jidai Sorzus Syn wrote about the war in her chronicle, which was later collected by Darth Sidious into his Book of Sith.[2]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side (p. 27) states that latter part of Sorzus Syn's chronicle took place in the "Exile Year Two, Months 7-9". Per The Essential Atlas the first year took place in 6900 BBY, thus the second year would be 6899 BBY. Page 29 states that the Sanctum of Sakkra-Kla was sealed more than ten thousand years before 6899 BBY, and lain undisturbed since, which would mean that the preserved body of a terentatek was placed there before 16,899 BBY. Since terentatek is stated to be "among the more recent creations," the war that birthed the silooth, the Sith warbird and the Sith war behemoth must have happened prior to the creation of the terentatek.
