Shortly following the conclusion of the Clone Wars, the Five Masters Academy, a martial arts school located on the planet of Cularin, was assaulted by a mysterious enshrouded being. This entity ignited the academy and proceeded to massacre both the students and teachers, wielding the Darkstaff, an ancient Sith artifact. The Master in Violet was the sole survivor, defending herself with a songsteel staff against the attacker's blows. Barnab Chistor, a student who arrived late, discharged an experimental handgun at the attacker upon entering the building. Injured, the shadowy figure was compelled to withdraw, employing the Darkstaff to resurrect the dead students as undead adversaries against Chistor and the Master in Violet. The entire school was engulfed in flames, resulting in its destruction and significant damage to the nearby woods. Ultimately, Tarasin scouts and the Office of Peace and Security managed to quell the inferno, discovering no living individuals within the institution's remains.
