Darth Skotia

"What do you think? Can you eat him?''" &laquo;It is more machine than man, I think. Bad for the digestion.&raquo;"

- Lord Zash's apprentice and Khem Val

Darth Skotia was a male human Sith Lord cyborg of the resurgent Sith Empire during the Cold War, subordinate to Darth Thanaton. One of the more influential Sith on Dromund Kaas, he was a bitter rival his subordinate, Darth Zash.

During the Cold War, Skotia learned of Zash's attempts to unlock the secrets of an artifact of Tulak Hord. He sent agents to assassinate her new apprentice on Korriban but they failed. When the apprentice arrived on Dromund Kaas, Skotia intercepted the Inquisitor at the spaceport and attempted to intimidate them. News of this infuriated Zash. Knowing that she couldn't kill Skotia, for a power play would make the Dark Council nervous, she decided to dispatch her apprentice instead. Gathering a tablet that would force Skotia's Trandoshan bodyguards to abandon him and a cyborg prototype disruptor that could disable someone who is 50% cyborg, the Inquisitor confronted Skotia in his chambers with Khem Val and the Sith Lord. He killed the bodyguards when they turned on him, but the cyborg disruptor greatly weakened him enough to be killed. The cyborg was defeated, and his cybernetics weakened him from the dark side, and he was no match against the powerful Inquisitor. With his last breath, Skotia realized that Zash must have spent years plotting his demise, and realized that the Sith would always betray one another. He warned her apprentice that she would turn on her/him before he died.

News of Skotia's death didn't go unnoticed. Darth Thanaton accused Zash of murdering Skotia but couldn't prove it as many could claim that she was in the Nexus Room Cantina the whole time. Zash was then elevated to Darth and gained access to Skotia's position and assets.
