XoXaan

"I am XoXaan. I was one of the first of the Sith Lords, one of those who abandoned the Jedi Order to seek a darker path to truth."

- XoXaan

XoXaan was one of the first Sith Lords, one of the Dark Jedi who abandoned the order to study the Dark side of the Force, initiating, along with her brethren, the philosophy of the Sith after arriving on Ziost and Korriban and taking over the society of the Sith people. She was a white-skinned humanoid female.

Biography
"My lord is dying. He is being consumed. Nothing in the Sith lore helps, including the ancient knowledge of XoXaan."

- Darth Wyyrlok on XoXaan

XoXaan was once a member of the Jedi Order. But she and others became corrupted by the dark side and went to war with the Jedi using dark side creations. After what would later be called as the Hundred-Year Darkness, the renegade Jedi were exiled from the Order and the Republic. XoXaan and fellow Dark Jedi Karness Muur arrived to Korriban, where they met the ancient Sith people and soon took up the mantles of Sith Lords, thus creating the Sith Empire. At some point XoXaan died; however, her knowledge and memories were kept within a Holocron.

Legacy
Thousands of years later, when former Jedi Knight turned Bounty hunter A'Sharad Hett, came to Korriban to hunt and kill his quarry Resk, XoXaan called to him from the depths of her tomb. He found the holocron containing her teachings. The Sith Lady's spirit soon came out of the holocron, finally having found the one person "who has served the light and found it empty... who has known anger, hate... and despair".

XoXaan taught Hett the true meaning to be Sith, who pretended to be a Sith acolyte in order to learn enough about the Darj Side to exact his revenge on the Empire for the destruction of the Jedi Order. For years, she instructed him in the ways of the order and the Dark Side. When his training was complete, Hett left to challenge Darth Sidious and Vader, only to find that they were gone and a New Republic had replaced the Galactic Empire. Despaired that he went through all his training for nothing, Hett left known space, where he encountered and was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. The torture he suffered at their hands, as well as XoXaan's teachings, eventually led Hett to his rebirth as Darth Krayt and the formation of the One Sith. When the new Dark Lord of the Sith eventually took over Coruscant, he placed a gigantic statue of XoXaan within the Temple of the Sith in honor of his mentor.

Darth Wyyrlok, with his vast knowledge of Sith rituals, had hoped that Xoxaan's knowledge could help save Lord Krayt from the ravages of his Yuuzhan Vong affliction. However, XoXaan's teachings failed to halt the Dark Lord's rapid degeneration.
