Slaves No More: The inglorious past and glorious destiny of the Lost Tribe of the Sith

Slaves No More: The inglorious past and glorious destiny of the Lost Tribe of the Sith was a historical essay written by the Grand Lord and historian Varner Hilts. It was incorporated into the Testament of Varner Hilts which was delivered to the leadership of the Lost Tribe of the Sith in 2,075 BBY, approximately 2,025 years following the arrival of the tribe's Human ancestors on Kesh during the Great Hyperspace War. This extant document had two versions: a censored version deemed fit for public consumption and an uncensored version that was limited to members of the ruling elite in Tahv.

In this article, Hilts revealed that the Lost Tribe was actually descended from Human slaves who had become stranded on Kesh in 5,000 BBY. He also explained how the tribe's founder Yaru Korsin had hoodwinked the native Keshiri by coopting a legendary conflict known as the Great Calamity that was fought between the Protectors and Destructors. The Lost Tribe merely claimed to have been the ancient Protectors. Hilts also devoted a significant part of the essay to explaining the Hilts Restoration and his plans to rebuild the ancient system instituted by Korsin. He advocated a meritocratic system of political advancement and eschewed warfare. While Hilts was prepared to tolerate assassionations as a minor discretion, he regarded civil warfare as destructive and counter-productive to the Tribe's political base.

Finally, Hilts outlined a maritime exploration programme that involved exploring the lands and seas beyond the main continent Keshtah. He also described ongoing colonization efforts in the continent of Alanciar which was rich in timber that would provide material for constructing a fleet of wooden ships. Hilts then concluded that he hoped that the Tribe would survive until the time that the Tribe re-discovered interstellar travel and could thus conquer the galaxy.
