Legend

this planet was the homeworld of the Mistryl Shadow Guards warrior sect. During the Clone Wars, the Eleven Elders of the planet decided to side with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. This allowed the leaders to tap into the vast wealth of Separatist military, which helped them conquer nearby worlds and convert them to Separatist holdings. In the wake of the Clone Wars, however, many of the worlds that had been subjugated by the Mistryls banded together and rebelled against their oppressors. These worlds eventually won their freedom and attacked Emberlene itself. The population of the planet was decimated in this attack, leaving just a handful of survivors. These survivors, however, remembered a different history, which was taught to subsequent generations. These survivors believed that Emberlene was once an idyllic world, but it became one of the first worlds destroyed by the Empire for supposedly rebellious activity. According to the survivors, this was the primary reason the Mistryl were created, as a way to exact revenge on the Empire. The Mistryl of subsequent generations felt all the more cheated when the destruction of the planet Caamas was made public, and there was a great swelling of outrage - and still Emberlene remained a nearly lifeless hulk. Eventually, Jorj Car'das revealed the truth behind Emberlene's destruction to Shada D'ukal, explaining that the Eleven Elders who ruled the planet set out to conquer and plunder any and all worlds within their reach. According to Car'das, the backlash that occurred after the Clone Wars was "overly thorough" in its results, since the forces arrayed against Emberlene nearly wiped out all life on the planet. Car'das offered to give Shada the information that would lead her to source of the mercenary group that attacked Emberlene, but she decided that the time had come for her people to simply start living again, rather than existing only for revenge.
