The Hilts Restoration was a period of time on the planet Kesh immediately following the end of the Time of the Rot and the Great Crisis in 3000 BBY. It took its name from the Sith Caretaker Varner Hilts, who became Grand Lord of the Lost Tribe of Sith and ushered in the new era. One of the first policies enacted by Lord Hilts was to allow Force-sensitive Keshiri, a purple-skinned species native to Kesh, to join the Lost Tribe as Sith Tyros and Sith Sabers. Under Hilts' leadership, the Tribe also rebuilt the cities of Keshtah Minor, the continent that was the main domain of the Tribe.
