Feeding upon the Force

"It is a technique that is almost as old as the Sith themselves..."

- Kreia



Feeding upon the Force refers to an arcane Force ability known to the ancient Sith. It came into use at some point after the Hundred-Year Darkness and was lost over time, as the Lords of the Sith abandoned Republic space and their strongholds were deserted. The technique itself cannot be taught, it can only be gained through instinct, through experiencing its effects first-hand, which was possibly an irreversible process as the absence left in the victim turns into hunger, and they are compelled to feed themselves. Kreia described this ability as a means of destroying connections between life around oneself, drawing upon them until they are drained completely and the exhausted life dies. Darth Nihilus supposedly took this practice to unmatched levels.
