The Battle of Dantooine

The Battle of Dantooine was a critical time for the 421st. General Rakton, having a personal vendetta against Wade Reynells and Fool's Luck, decided to launch a surprise attack on his home planet of Dantooine. However, things did not go as planned. Upon his defeat, Rakton spent years trying to find a way to rewrite his own history and succeed. Sadly, this would involve Wade and Ka'lee's children, McKenzie and Raeghan Reynells.

This timeline, although involves future and unwritten events in SWTOR, explains the presence of both McKenzie and Raeghan Reynells in the current timeline.
