Description: The Carreras system was a star system located within the Outer Rim region of the galaxy, just beyond the veil of the Surd Nebula. The system consisted of Carreras Major, homeworld of the Shifala, that was governed by Biala, and Carreras Minor. Carreras Minor had a moon, where Ania Solo maintained her junkyard. In 138 ABY, as part of an effort by Empress Marasiah Fel to build a galaxy-spanning system of communications arrays, Imperial Knight Yalta Val was dispatched to the system to oversee the construction of the Carreras G51 communications array.

Mala was a remote planet in the Surd Nebula in the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy. It was home to an unidentified near-Human species with white hair. By the end of the Sith–Imperial War, Mala's inhabitants had developed a primitive iron age civilization consisting of both sedentary communities and a barbarian people known as the Schor-Goya. The One Sith used Mala as a testing ground for a new biological weapon, which exterminated all life on the planet and knocked the planet from its orbit. The sole survivor of the Mala genocide was the Sith Darth Wredd, who would play an important role in the destruction of the underground One Sith movement in 139 ABY.
History
By the time of the Sith–Imperial War, Mala had developed an iron-age civilization consisting of both sedentary communities, who lived in villages, and a barbarian people known as the Schor-Goya. The man who would become Darth Wredd was a Force-sensitive hunter and swordsman who became renown as the champion of his village for defending them against attacks by the Schor-Goya. Despite his Force talents, this man was unable to join the Jedi Order since it had been driven into hiding following the Massacre at Ossus in 130 ABY. This man eventually became respected throughout his community and eventually started a young family.
Towards the end of the Second Imperial Civil War, Mala was invaded by the One Sith. Mala's champion fought against the Sith but was defeated in combat, with his sword being split by the lightsaber of his Sith opponent. Mala's champion was taken aboard the Sith flagship, a Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer, and surrendered to the Sith. However, the One Sith scientist Vul Isen decided to use the planet as a testing ground for a new biological weapon. The biological weapon not only succeeded in destroying all organic life on Mala but the power of its blast knocked Mala from its orbit. As a result, Mala became a rogue planet which drifted aimlessly throughout the galaxy.
The sole survivor of the genocide was Darth Wredd, who was apprenticed to the Sith master, who had bested him in combat. Despite being pressed into the service of the Sith, Wredd harbored a desire for vengeance against the One Sith and bidded his time for the right opportunity. Following the death of Darth Krayt, the One Sith were driven underground and a Galactic Federation Triumvirate, consisting of the Fel Empire, the Jedi Order, and the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, assumed power over the galactic capital Coruscant. By 138 ABY, the floating world of Mala had entered the Surd Nebula. People in the neighboring Carreras system had no knowledge of its existence.
Around that time, Galactic Empress Marasiah Fel had dispatched the Imperial Knight Yalta Val on a mission to the Carreras system to supervise the completion of a new communication array. Darth Wredd and his master intercepted and shot down Val's ship, causing it to crash-land on Mala. Val and his crew were ambushed by the two Sith, with only Val surviving. Taking the opportunity to rebel against the One Sith, Wredd killed his master, imprisoned Val on Mala, and took on his identity and armor when he traveled to Carreras Major.
Before being shot down, Val's crew had activated a commdroid. After the ambush, it retrieved his lightsaber, but became damaged. It was found and repaired by Ania Solo and Sauk, and when Jao Assam came to their aid, the coordinates for the planet were found in the commdroid. After viewing a holo-recording showing Master Val fighting Wredd's Sith master, they realized that Master Val had been replaced by an impostor. They decided to use the coordinates to locate Mala and rescue the real Master Val. However, they were captured by the Carreras security forces, which had come under the control of Darth Wredd, who was masquerading as Yalta Val.
After being exposed by Jao Assam, Ania, and her associates, Darth Wredd fled back to Mala. By that stage, he was able to remotely control the station and bring it towards Mala's orbit. There, Wredd attempted to use the communications array to make a live holo-broadcast to the wider galaxy where he would also execute the captive Yalta Val. However, he was thwarted by Ania, who also succeeded in rescuing Val and escaping offworld with her associates and Jao Assam before the Carreras communications array collided with the rogue planet. Meanwhile, Wredd's henchman Dieben also managed to escape Wredd's base prior to the collision. He was later picked up in an escape pod an extradited back to his home planet of Nalyd, where he was executed for various felonies.
The Battle of the Floating World
Meanwhile, Darth Wredd launched an insurgency against the One Sith and succeeded in killing many Sith. He also made contact with Jao Assam, a maverick Imperial Knight who had learnt of Wredd's plot to assassinate Empress Marasiah Fel through a Force vision. After tricking Assam and his associates into killing the One Sith Darth Luft in the shipyards above Dac, Wredd tempted Jao with the offer of joining his new Sith Order, which would adhere to Darth Bane's Rule of Two. In 139 ABY, Wredd freed Jao from prison in Coruscant and brought him to Mala. There, he related the story of the destruction of Mala and his enslavement by the One Sith.
Wredd also tricked Assam into transmitting the coordinates of Mala's location to his associates and the Imperial authorities. Wredd's plan was to lure Empress Fel to Mala and kill her, in order to bring Assam over to the dark side of the Force. However, the One Sith also intercepted Wredd's transmission and gathered all of their forces to seek and destroy Darth Wredd. This culminated in a massive three-way battle on Mala which saw the seeming destruction of the entire One Sith Order. Wredd also attempted to assassinate Empress Fel, but was thwarted and killed by Jao and his associate Ania Solo. While Wredd felt he had succeeded in exacting revenge against the Sith for the destruction of his homeworld, he failed to turn Jao into his second Sith apprentice.
Carreras G51 communications array
The Carreras G51 communications array was part of a galactic-wide G51 communications array network. The G51 communications array had been commissioned by Galactic Empress Marasiah Fel following the end of the Second Imperial Civil War in 138 ABY to improve communications between Coruscant and the Outer Rim systems. That same year, the Imperial Knight Yalta Val was sent to the Carreras system to supervise the finishing stages of the Carreras communications array. However, he was ambushed and captured by the Sith apprentice Darth Wredd, who stole his armor and assumed his identity.
Disguised as an Imperial Knight, Darth Wredd took command of Governor Biala's security forces and the communications array. He was able to remotely control the station and fly it towards his hiding place on the dark planet of Mala. Darth Wredd then used the Carreras communications array to broadcast a live recording and attempted to execute Val. However, Darth Wredd was thwarted by the junk dealer Ania Solo who freed Val and fled offworld. Shortly later, the Carreras communications array was destroyed during a collision with Mala. Darth Wredd also survived the explosion and launched an insurgency against both the One Sith and the Galactic Federation Triumvirate.
