Cult of Exar Kun

The Cult of Exar Kun was a Sith cult that was devoted to the worship of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Exar Kun. It was formed in 1 ABY, when a University of Corellia expedition carried out and archaeological expedition at the Temple of Exar Kun on Yavin 4. They accidently uncovered the catecombs beneath the temple, which reawakened the the spirit of Exar Kun. The spirit enslaved them to it, making them into fanatical cultists that were devoted to it's worship.

A number of the cultists travelled to a Corellia University research outpost on Talus and recruited some new members to their ranks from among the students and researchers there. One researcher resisted, because he claimed that people were being compelled by an unknown force to join the cult against there will's, so he was killed.

The cult based themselves around the catecombs beneath the Temple of Exar Kun, until it was wiped out by a group of spacers, who were hired by Professor Wagglehorn to destroy it.
