Tarnis (Sith Lord)

Lord Tarnis was a Human Sith Lord of the Sith Empire. He was the son of Darth Angral, the infamous leader of Sith forces during the Sacking of Coruscant.

At some point following his elevation to the rank of Sith Lord he was assigned by his father to infiltrate the Galactic Republic's Superweapon project during the Cold War as a Scientist.

He worked for the Republic as the lead researcher for their Planet Prison project and ultimately succeeded in constructing the weapon. Hoping to acquire a further advantage for the Sith he hired operatives fromthe criminal Migrant Merchants' Guild and Black Sun to steal classified data on all the Republic's other superweapon projects so he could transmit it to his father who could then move in to seize control of said projects. He then stole the Planet Prison and staged his kidnapping by Black Sun so as to escape the Republic.

With the Planet Prison in hand he set out for the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and deployed the weapon in a bid to force the Republic to surrender to the Sith. Unfortunately for him the Jedi and Republic uncovered his duplicity and sent a Jedi Knight to stop him. The knight triumphed over Tarnis, killed him and stopped the Planet Prison before could be deployed.

With his son's death, Darth Angral proclaimed that he would track down and kill the Jedi responsible thus beginning a personal vendetta against the Jedi.
