Kopecz

"Death is an old friend. What Kaan plans for all of us is worse!" - Kopecz, Dark Lord of the Sith.

Kopecz was a Sith Lord who lived 1,000 BBY and fought in the New Sith Wars, including the final confrontation on Ruusan.

Unlike many, Kopecz made a conscious, rational decision to reject the ways of the Jedi. With the Sith ascendant across the galaxy, Kopecz decided that being allied with the Dark Side seemed to "offer the best chance to build a better universe". Nowhere near as depraved as the rest of his kind, he gained a great deal of respect - even from the Jedi - in the years that followed.

As the war began to turn against the Sith, Kopecz became involved in the internal feuds of the Dark Side. He feared the power of Darth Bane, and supported an assassination attempt on the Dark Lord.

However, Bane survived, and returned. Bane's rival, Lord Kaan, became insane, and was determined to use a thought bomb to wipe out life on Ruusan, where the Sith were fighting the Jedi.

While Kaan prepared for this final blow, Kopecz led the Sith army in one final battle with the Army of Light.

Kopecz realized at this point his choice to join the Dark Side had been wrong, and coming to the conclusion his life was over not matter the outcome, he informed Lord Farfalla of the Jedi about the plot, with the provision that Farfalla killed him in return.
