Morit Astarte

"You are no Jedi. You are no Sith" "That's the last thing I'd want to be. Jedi? Sith? They're history."

- Morit and Vader upon first meeting

Morit Astarte was a male Human engineered by Doctor Cylo as replacements for the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Cylo hoped to prove to Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious that Vader's role as his Sith apprentice only needed to be a ceremonial one, with the Doctor's creations taking his place in enforcing the Emperor's will throughout the galaxy. When Vader learned of his supposed replacements he sought out Cylo-IV's research base, where they trained, and attacked it. Morit and his sister Aiolin were the first of Cylo's replacements that the Sith Lord encountered, and the pair fought him briefly before Cylo-V arrived and demanded the conflict stop. He then explained to Vader his plan to replace him and introduced the rest of his replacements. Darth Sidious then arrived on the station and, in order to prove his work's effectiveness, Cylo had them attack Vader before his Master. Morit used a yellow lightsaber and was weak in the Force, but was glad to be neither a Sith or a Jedi, as he considered them things of the past.
