New Reborn



The New Reborn was a Sith organization which was part of the Sith cult, the Disciples of Ragnos, under the leadership of Tavion Axmis.

Ties with the Reborn
After Desann's defeat, those Reborn who had survived rallied under Tavion Axmis, Desann's apprentice whose life Kyle Katarn had spared on Bespin. Tavion, with the support of the Imperial Remnant, had established a Sith cult called the Disciples of Ragnos, whose aim was to resurrect the ancient Sith Lord Marka Ragnos and take over the Galaxy. The Reborn serving Tavion changed their name to the "New Reborn" and replaced their hooded uniforms with heavy battle suits, increasing their combat survivability.

Force and combat skills




With the experience gained from serving Desann and retraining by Tavion, the New Reborn were more powerful than the ordinary Sith Cultists or Reborn under Desann's leadership, with a good knowledge of dark side Force techniques, and were much more skilled in lightsaber combat, being able to hold their own or in some cases defeat average Jedi. The New Reborn wore either red battle suits or blue battle suits. It seemed that the Reborn who wore the red suits were slightly more skilled in dark side force techniques than the ones who wore blue, although their lightsaber abilities were more or less equal. Many were able to apply Jar'Kai and double-bladed lightsaber combat. In combat they expressed arrogant behavior and often taunted their opponents to try and lower their resolve. The New Reborn sometimes preferred to spring on their opponents from a hiding place such as a ledge, ceiling or alcove rather than face them head on like a cultist.

As with Desann, Tavion dispatched her Cultists and New Reborn on various missions to locations all over the Galaxy. The New Reborn were usually only present on missions of higher importance where the mediocre skills of the cultists were not enough to accomplish them. On these missions they faced several Jedi Knights from Skywalker's academy, among others Kyle Katarn, who was now a Jedi Master, and his highly talented apprentice, Jaden Korr. Korr most of all proved to be a nemesis of the Cultists and New Reborn, as many of them met their end at the blade of Korr's lightsaber.

Defeat at Korriban
The New Reborn gathered in force but met their ultimate end on the planet Korriban, as an army of Jedi from Skywalker's academy&mdash;including Masters Katarn and Skywalker himself&mdash;defeated them in an epic battle that took place among the ancient Sith temples and tombs in the Valley of the Dark Lords. The last of the New Reborn had fortified themselves inside in the tomb of Marka Ragnos, where most of them were slain by Jaden Korr.

Prominent New Reborn
Especially prominent New Reborn members were the Kothos Twins, a pair of vicious Force users.

The ranks of the New Reborn also included a handful of Reborn Masters. These skilled darksiders wore purple battle armour and wielded long lightsabers. Though none of them are known by name, they were vastly more powerful than the regular members, having mastered both Dark and Light side Force techniques and wielding their lightsabers with superior skill and adaptiveness. Even Jedi such as Jaden Korr had difficulties in matching them in combat, such were their abilities.
