Sadow

Sadow was an ancient Sith Lord who, according to the quasi-historical Qel-Droma Epics, led the Sith Empire as Naga Sadow during the Great Hyperspace War against Empress Teta and the Jedi Order while also triggering the Cron Supernova. A likeness of Sadow was chiseled into the rock walls of the Sith Citadel on the Sith planet Exegol, and First Order Supreme Leader Kylo Ren heard Sadow's voice among the unintelligible whispers of several Sith Lords while confronting the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious on Exegol in 35 ABY.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Sadow was an ancient Sith Lord.^[1] According to the quasi-historical Qel-Droma Epics series of poems, Sadow was known as Naga Sadow and was active thousands of years before the time of Jedi Knight Ulic Qel-Droma. During that period, as the Epics claimed, the Sith Empire conducted an invasion that began the Great Hyperspace War. Empress Teta thus allied herself with the Jedi Order and defeated Sadow's forces, scattering them across the galaxy. The Qel-Droma Epics also claimed that Naga Sadow triggered stars in the Cron Cluster to form the Cron Supernova, subsequently leaving the nearby Jedi retreat planet Ossus barren and scarred.^[2]

Sadow numbered among several Sith Lords whose likenesses were chiseled into the rock walls of the Sith Citadel on the hidden Sith planet of Exegol, located in the Unknown Regions.^[1] Exegol also included a location called the Sadow escarpment.^[3] When the Supreme Leader of the First Order and master of the Knights of Ren, Kylo Ren, arrived on Exegol^[1] in 35 ABY^[4] to confront the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious, he maneuvered through the Sith Citadel and recognized from his studies the rock statues of Sadow and some of the other Sith Lords. Ren also heard their unintelligible whispers.^[1]
