During the time of the Imperial Period, the people residing in V'eldalv, which was the capital city located on the planet known as Ryvellia, initiated a major rebellion directed at the Galactic Empire. The Empire responded to this revolt with extreme prejudice, deploying an orbital bombardment that obliterated the entire city, thus crushing the revolt. Following this event, Cryle Cavv made his way back to his homeworld Ryvellia. Amidst the rubble that was once V'eldalv, he managed to save his nephew Sienn Sconn and learned the tragic news that Tascin and Rannah, his kin, had perished in the devastating bombardment.
