"Second Darkness" was a staged military excercise to assess the Clans readiness in light of the growing Yuuzhan Vong threat now spreading through the rest of the galaxy.
Details
In response to the Yuuzhan Vong threat in the Yavin system, practically on Antei's doorstep, the new Dark Lord of the Sith called the Clans to the Antei system for a military exercise codenamed Operation: Second Darkness. Despite the Star Chamber's faith in the Shroud to protect them, the same could not be said for the Clans' own systems and the Dark Lord wanted to assess their readiness should the Yuuzhan Vong choose to attack.
Despite the Dark Lord's true reasons for the exercise, he allowed the Clans to remain in the dark, unwilling to betray the Star Chamber's concern with the speed at which the invaders had advanced to be known. During the operation Aristan Dantes welcomed his Shadow Hand, Halcyon Rokir, into the Order of the Sith Lords.
