Lord Nyax

The legend of Lord Nyax was a terrifying tale originating on Corellia of a man who stole children from their beds. Shortly after the Clone Wars, the Lord Nyax story became associated with Darth Vader, who also appeared, seemingly at random, to steal children in the dead of night. What nobody realized was that these children were Force-sensitive, and Vader was taking these children before they could grow to become a threat to the New Order, in compliance with the Great Jedi Purge.

Lord Nyax himself was a man left in the underbelly of Courascant after the Yuuzhan Vong overtook it. He was fatally injured in his childhood, and to save him, his mother placed him in stasis. While in stasis, he was fitted with 4 lightsabers, one in each knee and elbow. Luke, Mara Jade and a team of Jedi disguised themseleves in vonduun crab armor to infiltrate the lower levels of the planet and eliminate him.

The name of Lord Nyax was adopted by Irek Ismaren (a Dark Jedi who had literally lost his mind) after he heard the name in the minds of his victims.
