The Maverick
"Even for what he is, he is a maverick"

- Unknown

Darth Vatrir is the alter ego of a devoted (maverick) Star Wars fan from Canada. This maverick Canadian Fan is the creater of the site Sith Sanctom;, which (sadly) has yet to become popular. This maverick, due to his great video game experience considers himself a seasoned veteran of every major Galactic conflict except for the Sith Wars. The maverick also enjoys Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Forgotten Realms, as well as Battlestar Galactica.

The maverick Vatrir also has a darker side to his personality. He is incredibly pessimistic, and always looks for the worst in people. This pessimism makes him an accomplished critic, but it also makes him incredibly glum and horrible to be around for long periods.

The maverick has plans to breath life back into the Starwars saga with a remake of the movies. This remake (which will probably end up as a miniseries) will retify all the flaws possible (bad acting, the prequel trilogies over-politicalization, lightsaber goofs, CG goofs in general, Plot inconsistantcies, Jar Jar Binks) and release them in chronological order.
 * Vatrir is pronounced as Va-Trear.
 * Vatrir also believes that resurecting Darth Sidious in Dark Empire was a stroke of brilliance.
 * Vatrir believes black bladed lightsabers exist.
 * Vatrir is slightly biased against Jedi in general because they can't seem to take a hint and disappear. The galaxy doesn't really need them any more yet they still come back for more. Really clever.
 * Vatrir really likes the Gallery of lightsaber hilts Hilts page and thinks who ever made it should be awarded.

The Maverick's Memerable Quotes and Philosophies
The Maverick has many quotes and philosophies, many of which contradict each other, but that is caused by his indesision. "The Dark Side of the Force is not evil. Its not all about fear, rage, or demonic bloodlust, as most think it is. Its about freedom. The reason it has such a bad reputation is because all the people who use it care only about themselves. They veiw everyone else as little more than cattle. To use the Dark Side safely, you do have to give a damn about yourself, and your own needs and desires, but do care about others."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"Power denied is power wasted, power indulged is power abused."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"While I support monarchies, you need to watch out on whose in charge. If its the right person, you thrive and prosper. If its the wrong person, monarchy becomes tyrany."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"I'm not a sheep, I don't follow the masses. When the leader sheep runs off a cliff and the others follow because they think its cool, I'm just going to sit back and laugh."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"The only paths worth taking are the ones frought with risk, because they offer the highest rewards. Such is the path of the Dark Side. Such is the path of love."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"Cities are a statement of humanity's arrogance and need for superiority. They display our unyielding desire to outdo anything and everything, including nature."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"Hockey is one of those games that is won ten minutes before the end, the rest is just grudge matches and fights."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"If I've got it, you dont'."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"What sort of psycho lightsaber-wielding jedi-killing maniac would have a saberstaff and not know how to use it?"

- The Maverick

My Code
This is my code, one that I created and follow. An effective composite of Jedi and Sith beliefs. I won't be explaining the ulterior meanings I take from it, because its fairly self-explanitory.

Peace is not a lie, it is only temporary.

There must always be conflict, it is unavoidable.

Cherish what you have today, for tomorrow you may not have it.

Form attachments and love, but do not let grief brought on by loss control you.

Do not deny nor repress your anger, but do not embrace it either.

Choose your battles carefully, only fight for what is worth fighting for.

Darth Vatrir (Fanon Biography)
"His history is great and proud"

- Unknown

During the Seventh Battle of Ruusan, one of the Sith Lords sensed the destruction that was to be unleashed by Lord Kaan's Thought Bomb. Knowing that he would perrish in the subsequent blast, Lord Sinive fled the planet, somehow avoiding the notice of both Lord Kaan and Darth Bane.

Briefly stopping at the Korriban acadamy to pillage the arcives, the Sinive proceeded to flee into the Unknown Regions, claiming several apprentices along the way. Managing to reach one of the dwarf galaxies orbiting the primary one, they found a planet later named Sithis Prime and settled there. Encountering a humanoid race of primitive Force-users, they set themselves up as gods. Crossbreeding with this race, they eventually became one, with subspecies caused by the different races of apprentices the Sith Lord had.

Claiming the title of Darth, Sinive proceeded to build a new Sith empire, which he named the Exile Empire, eventually conquering the whole of the dwarf galaxy. Afterwards, Sinive had an epiphanie. Not wanting the Empire he had built to rot and stagnate, he made it into a feudal meritocratic oligarchy. He had the Empire divided into many seperate states all serving the Masters Council, a loose confederation of the most powerful Sith Lords and their houses. Sinive constructed an unstable but lasting government that was in a state of constant change.

Over the next few hundred years, this bubbling and unstable cauldron of Force Sensitives eventually accumilated so many Midi-chlorians that a new generation of extremely powerful Sith Lords was loosed on the galaxy. Notable amongst these were Lord Psykoe, Lord Dusard, Darth Sinitris, Darth Zaydar, and Darth Vatrir.

Vatrir's Heritage: 200 BBY (800 AE)


"The time of lazyness and stagnation is over, the weak are not worthy of the path of Darkness."

- Darth Vatrir

Darth Vatrir was born in 200 BBY into one of the more powerful houses of the Empire; House Koner. Fathered by the obese, hedonistic but undeniably powerful Darth Riagen, Vatrir advanced in the Sith arts quickly, becoming a master of the Dark Side of the Force by age eighteen. At that point, he was more powerful than his father and chafed under his rule. Gaining the support of House Koner's vicious military, he led a brutal coup and overthrew his father. With himself in control, Vatrir personally tortured his father to death and went on a violent crackdown throughout his House, publicly and spectacularly murdering his fathers supporters.

The Sith of House Koner knew that the old age of hedonism and opulence had come to a bloody end.

Consolidation of Power: 181 BBY (819 AE)
"Now to cement my rule"

- Vatrir to his advisers and generals.

With House Koner firmly under his control, Darth Vatrir began reforming it. Eliminating the stagnation and corruption fostered by his fathers reign, he Vatrir turned it into a militaristic state. Enacting a meritocratic 'survival of the fittest' rule, he was praised by his subjects. Darth Vatrir, thinking himself untouchable, simply sat back and let the Sith of House Koner vie for his favor.

However, not all Sith enjoyed the changes.

Lord Psykoe: 179 BBY (821 AE)


"I didn't know my enemies were so desperate they would send out animals."

- Darth Vatrir

In 179 BBY, a group of conspirators longing to overthrow Darth Vatrir and return things to the way they were under Darth Riagen hired a renagade Sith Lord to kill Vatrir. Lord Psykoe, a houseless dervish of destruction, one of the greatest combat artists of the day.

Psykoe manages to sneak into Vatrir's estate and corners him in the library. The two engaged in a brutal lightsaber duel, Vatrir using his mastery of Form VI while Psykoe utilized Lus-ma in a Jar'Kai format. The duel lasted many long minutes but in the end, Vatrir was victorious, claiming one of Psykoe's lightsabers as a momento. However, afterwards Psykoe's body vanished, leaving Vatrir to wonder if Psykoe was dead.

The Civil War: 175 BBY (825 AE)
"The civil war was a stupid waste of time and resources, all for an insane rivalry. But at least I benefitted."

- Darth Vatrir

Like most wars in a feudal society, the civil war was caused by a domestic dispute gone mad. Two powerful Sith Lords were involved in a 'friendly' competition, one lost and held a grudge. The two became rivals and finally had their houses declare war on one another, then their allies got involved and it escalated. Soon there was a full scale civil war.

Vatrir allied himself with Darth Garmoes's faction.

The Alvari Prime Campaign: 175 BBY (825 AE)
"Even by my standards, that campaign was a little too bloody."

- Darth Zaydar

When House Koner involved itself in the war, Vatrir focused primarily on the Alvari Prime campaign for most of the war. Alvari Prime, home of House Shupenia, was one of the most hotly contested planets in the war, due to its strategic location and many natural resources. In the constant battles, House Shupenia was destroyed and its sole surviving heir was forced into hiding, leaving the planet up for grabs.

House Koner's main rival for control of Alvari was House Corbin and its leader; Darth Zaydar. After many bloody battles, Vatrir grew tired of grappling with House Corbin and challanged Zaydar to single combat, winner gets Alvari Prime.

Zaydar accepted and the two met in the ruins of Alvari's former capital city.



Drawing their lightsabers, they engaged in a vicious lightsaber duel. Despite holding his own against Zaydar for many long minutes, Vatrir was forced to give ground, unable to stand against Zaydar's mastery of Juyo. Disarmed and held at blade point, Vatrir essentially cheated, but who said Sith were fair.

Unleashing a wave of Force Lightning, Vatrir overcame Zaydar. Horribly disfiguring Zaydar and leaving him for dead, Vatrir claimed Alvari Prime and Zaydar's lightsaber and House Corbin's fleets retreated after reclaiming the body of their master. However, Zaydar survived and vowed revenge against Vatrir and House Koner.

Jacarutu Campaign: 172 BBY (828 AE)


"Don't you think this massive army you sent verges on overkill?"

- High General Lady Darth Ungava

"No, I don't believe that there is such a thing as 'overkill'."

- Darth Vatrir

Like Alvari Prime, Jacarutu was another hotly contested battlefield. However, its House managed to hold onto it after their neutrality was violated. The House in question, House Carver promptly allied itself with Garmoes's faction. The leader ship of Darth Garmoes's faction sent Vatrir to aid House Carver, and Vatrir, eager for more blood, was more than happy to oblige.

Vatrir's fleet of dreadnaughts appeared in orbit and obliderated the enemy fleet and ended most of the surface battles with an orbital bombardment. Personally leading his army in a massive surface attack, Vatrir slaughtered the enemy general, Darth Ungava, in single combat, claiming Ungava's lightsaber for his collection. After a series of bloody battles, the planet was won.

Koriocral Campaign: 171 BBY (829 AE)
"A minor, meaningless planet. The perfect hiding place for them, they are there."

- Darth Vatrir

This campaign, unlike Alvari or Jacarutu, was a relatively minor one. Koriocral was not a strategicly placed planet and its natural resources were limited to a mild mineral content. However this is what made it so important. Its location and relative remoteness made it the perfect hiding place for the opposing factions leadership.

Despite the presence of the enemy leadership, the planet was lightly defended to avoid attracting attention. With only a small fleet of enemy dreadnaughts in orbit, Vatrir was able to take the planet in less than a week. Despite several vicious battles, casualties were kept to a minimum. Capturing the enemy leadership, Vatrir had them executed in cruel and unusual ways.

The Civil was over.

Return to 'Normal': 171 BBY (829 AE)
With the end of the civil war, things began to return to normal, or at least as normal as things are in the Exile Empire of the Sith. Several of the Houses devastated by the war began rebuilding, benefitting Houses gorged on the spoils of war, namely planets conquered during the war. Most of the offending Houses on the losing side of the war were destroyed, but the vast majority returned to life as usual, simply with slightly reduced fiefdoms.

Vatrir Learning: 171 BBY (829 AE)
"I've read a few ancient texts on Form VI: Niman. The detracters of the style say it is overly demanding and ineffective at anything. I am forced to agree."

- Darth Vatrir

With the wars conclusion, Vatrir thought back to his near defeat at the hands of Darth Zaydar and decided he had to learn from his mistakes. Despite his skill in Form VI, he found it was inadequate against the more skilled blademasters of the Empire, so he abandoned it.



Recruiting the talents of several highly skilled swordsmen, he had them teach him their secrets. Learning and quickly mastering Forms V and II, which he suplemented with Form III, he eventually grew skilled enough to study into Form VII. Becoming a masterful swordsman, an almost unbeatable adversary, he rewarded his teachers with great wealth and small fiefdoms.

Eventually learning of Zaydar's continued survival, Vatrir promised himself that he would eventually seek revenge on the leader of House Corbin. Despite Vatrir's victory in the battle, he was still humiliated and humbled, his use of Force Lightning to achieve victory had many calling him a coward unwilling to face the inevitable.

Betrayal: 169 BBY (831 AE)
"With that disastrous war over, we can now destroy Vatrir."

- One of the conspirators.



With the end of the war, the old conspirators who wanted Vatrir dead were able to resume their plotting. Bribing Vatrir's head bodyguard, Darth Sarmue into their service, they promised the now rogue Sith Lord great power and prestige if he aided in their assassination of Darth Vatrir.

Sarmue began rounding up the bodyguards he had trained to be loyal to him instead of Vatrir, he eventually had a small army under his control. Storming into Vatrir's estate in the dead of night and killing most of the guards in their way, they charged into his bedroom. Expecting to find Vatrir asleep, they were surprised to find him awake and waiting.

Vatrir revealed that he knew all about Sarmue's betrayal and the fact that he had been bribed, although he couldn't identify the conspirators who wanted him dead. Vatrir had allowed Sarmue to go through with the plan out of sheer boredom, wanting to see how far he would have gotten. Enraged at having been baited, Sarmue charged Vatrir and the two engaged in a brutal, though brief, lightsaber duel. Ultimately, Sarmue was bisected, despite his mastery of Form II.



Vatrir quickly called his remaining loyal bodyguards to him, and they together destroyed the remaining traitors. Adding Sarmue's silver-bladed weapon to his collection, Vatrir coldly tortured the surviving traitors to death.

Dusard's Challenge: 166 BBY (834 AE)
Lord Dusard, a malignant psychopathic killer in the same league as Lord Psykoe, the arrogant leader of the renegade House Dunkan, master of Juyo and Saberstaff Combat, challenger of Vatrir.

Vatrir accepted the challenge and the two battled in the courtyard of Vatrir's estate in a public spectacle. The battle was long and vicious, both combatants drawn to the end of their strength. The battle eventually degenerated into a brawl when they disarmed one another. Eventually Vatrir won when he Force Pushed Dusard against the east wall of the court yard so hard the stone cracked and Dusard was dazed. Dusard, knowing he was too tired and unfocused to continue fighting, fled. Vatrir added Dusard's forgotten lightsaber to his collection.

Powers and Abilities
"What do all men with power want?"

- Darth Horla

Darth Vatrir was an absolute master of the Dark Side of the Force, highly skilled in all its abilities and applications. However, he also practises several Light Side abilities to give himself an edge over other Sith Lords, and they are as listed below:
 * Force Combustion
 * Force Deflection and Force Absorb.
 * Battlemind.
 * Force Valor.

Lightsaber Training
"Once his skills were inadequate and pathetic, no more."

- Darth Zaydar

Vatrir initially had comparatively little skill with the lightsaber, having only a understanding of Form VI, focusing on his Force Powers instead. While this was enough to beat several highly skilled Sith Lords, it was almost useless against Darth Zaydar.

In the aftermath of their duel, he abandonned Niman as his main combat style. Hiring several renouned/infamous Sith Blademasters to teach him their craft, he quickly learned, mastered Form V and Form II, suplementing them with Form III. Eventually his skills grew so great that he studied and mastered Form VII, becoming an incredibly powerful and nigh unbeatable adversary, a renouned Blademaster. Vatrir also suplemented these skills with Jar'Kai, Teräs Käsi and Saberstaff Combat.

Vatrir has nothing but disdain for Form I and Form IV, seeing the former as obsolete and the latter as too taxing to be of use in prolonged battle, which Vatrir was in nine times out of ten. .

Traits and Personality
"Some praise him for strength, I say he is weak."

- Unknown

Darth Vatrir, like Darth Sidious, had a genius level intellect, incredible patience, and a great amount of skill in the realms of engineering, Lightsaber Combat, Sith Alchemy and politics. However, Vatrir was a horrible pilot, due to his severe case of vertigo. Vatrir's only other major weakness was a sociopathic disorder. When Darth Sinive and his various apprentices crossbred with the race of Sithis Prime, all the children sired, while incredibly powerful with the Force, had brain chemistry imbalances that made them all Sociopaths (or in the case of Lord Dussard, Lord Psykoe and others, completely psychotic). Vatrir also suffered from mild paranoia and megalomania, but was ultimately a utilitarian and minimalist. However, he does occasionally allows enemies to go through with schemes against him out of sheer boredom.

Being born to the Sith, Vatrir is completely addicted to the Dark Side of the Force and has no hope of renouncing it completely. But he was not totally bound to his selfishness and powerthirst as most Sith Lords were. His ultimate goal was the perpetuation and betterment of the Sith Order as a whole.

Vatrir has a massive bias against nonForce-Sensitives, as he was raised in the ruling class of an empire made up almost entirely of Force-Sensitives. He was so prejudiced that he saw them as little more than worthless cattle. But other than this, he (and the rest of the Empire) have no racial, gender or specieist bias to speak of.

My Interpretation of the Sith Code
This is my interpretation of the Sith Code, the meanings that I take from it.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Its true, flip on the news and you'll see. Peace is a lie. And its true that there is only passion, many of these wars are started by passions. But I don't agree with the Sith in cutting love out of the passion list, its just as if not more important than all the others.

Through passion, I gain strength.

Its true, you allow your passions to drive you and they allow you to further youself and gain strength, they push you forth to the next accomplishment, bringing you closer to perfection, your desires and ultimately, happiness.

Through strength, I gain power.

Its true, the stronger you get, the more power you get, both mentally and physically, allowing you to push yourself further and control things before they control you.

Through power, I gain victory.

Its true, with power, your chances of victory are substantially increased. Not just victory where you prove your superiority, but victories where you better yourself, such as losing weight if your fat, learning a new skill, etc...

Through victory, my chains are broken.

True, each victory brings you closer to complete freedom, complete control over your life, the only worthwhile goal that does and ever will exist.

The Force shall free me.

The ultimate goal of mine is freedom without responsibility. The ability to do what I want when I want, with no restrictions or consequences what so ever on or for my actions. I believe that should be the ultimate goal of ALL living creatures.
