Darth Malgus

This unidentified male Sith was a member of the Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War by 3,653 BBY. A scarred being, he led Sith forces in the Invasion of the Jedi Temple during the Sacking of Coruscant, a move by the Sith Empire to bring the Galactic Republic and their Jedi defenders to their knees and assert the dominance of the Sith in the galaxy. The Imperial forces ultimately succeeded, destroying the Jedi Temple, killing half of the members of the Jedi High Council, and disgracing their Order in the eyes of the Republic.

Biography


In 3,681 BBY, the Sith Empire, long believed to have been destroyed over a thousand years earlier, emerged from hiding and launched a series of assaults against the Galactic Republic, the galactic government, in what would come to be known as the Great Galactic War. In 3,653 BBY, twenty-eight years after the war's beginning, the Sith forces contacted the Republic with their wish to negotiate an end to the conflict. While delegates from both sides met on the Core World Alderaan to form a peace agreement, the Sith moved in on Coruscant, the Republic's capital.

This male Sith, accompanied by an unidentified Twi'lek, arrived at the Jedi Temple before the Sith fleet began their assault. A squad of Temple security guards stood their in their way, but the Sith wasted no time in killing them before they could deal with the threat. A female bounty hunter, observing the sight from a recess in the face of the Temple, took this as her cue and infiltrated the Temple via a maintenance hatch as her colleagues strode in through the main entrance.

The Sith and the Twi'lek were confronted by a group of several Jedi, and while the adversaries remained motionless, a Republic shuttle crashed through the Temple's main entrance and came to a halt behind the Sith. The craft's hatch opened to reveal twenty-five Sith, who proceeded to ignite their lightsabers and joined the Twi'lek and the bounty hunter in attacking the Jedi and their security forces. In the midst of the action, this Sith engaged the Jedi who had originally stood in his way. Following a display of such Force powers as saber throw, Force push, Force jump, and Force speed, the two dueled before the Sith managed to drive his lightsaber into his opponent's abdominal region. As the Jedi died, the Sith told him how the Jedi had been deceived&mdash;and now that the Sith had returned, the Republic would fall.

The Sacking of Coruscant had begun, and while Sith forces led by Lord Angral took control of the Senate Building and killed the Republic's Supreme Chancellor, the Sith armada had begun their bombardment of the Jedi Temple while Sith ground forces had also moved in on the Jedi's sanctuary. As the Temple Precinct burned around him, the Sith replaced his hood as he strode away from the carnage. Soon after, the Temple was destroyed.
