Kopecz

"Death is an old friend. What Kaan plans for all of us is worse!"

- Kopecz

Kopecz was a Twi'lek Sith Lord who lived 1,000 BBY and fought in the New Sith Wars, including the final confrontation on Ruusan.

Biography
Kopecz was once a Jedi. During his time in the order, he knew Valenthyne Farfalla.

Unlike many, Kopecz made a conscious, rational decision to reject the ways of the Jedi. With the Sith ascendant across the galaxy, Kopecz decided that being allied with the dark side seemed to "offer the best chance to build a better universe." Nowhere near as depraved as the rest of his kind, he gained a great deal of respect&mdash;even from the Jedi&mdash;in the years that followed. When Kaan began the tradition of multiple Dark Lords of the Sith, Kopecz was a member of the new ruling circle and, along with Kaan and Qordis, one of the three highest ranking Sith in the Brotherhood of Darkness.

The three of them led the Sith forces at the Battle of Korriban, where they reconquered the ancient Sith homeworld for the New Sith Empire.

Later, Kopecz was the ranking Sith at the Battle of Phaseera, where he had overall command of all military units on the world, including the Gloom Walkers. He was scheduled to preside over the court martial of Sergeant Dessel. Kopecz took Dessel to the Sith Academy on Korriban instead of punishing him, where Dessel took the name Bane.

As the war began to turn against the Sith, Kopecz became involved in the internal feuds of the dark side. He feared the power of Darth Bane, and supported an assassination attempt on the Dark Lord.

However, Bane survived, and returned. Bane's rival, Lord Kaan, became insane, and was determined to use a thought bomb to wipe out life on Ruusan, where the Sith were fighting the Jedi.

While Kaan prepared for this final blow, Kopecz led the Sith army in one final battle with the Army of Light.



Aware at this point of the impending defeat of Brotherhood of Darkness, and fearing the fate awaiting those to be trapped in the thought bomb, Kopecz exacted a promise of death from Lord Valenthyne Farfalla, before revealing Lord Kaan's plot to the Jedi. After he told Farfalla of the thought bomb, the two entered into a duel which Kopecz soon lost.
