Goran Beviin

(Taken to FA by IFYLOFD)

"I exercise… prudence."
―Goran Beviin[src]

Goran Beviin was a Human male Mandalorian commando, a bounty hunter, and a contract killer active under the New Republic and into the early years of the Galactic Alliance. In 24 ABY, Beviin was on Nar Shaddaa when he met a man named Udelen, who turned out to be a vanguard for an invading extragalactic species, the Yuuzhan Vong. The Mandalorians made a deal with the Yuuzhan Vong, becoming a hired hand for the Yuuzhan Vong's ensuing attack on the galaxy. However, after Beviin and the Mandalorians disobeyed an order to capture a Jedi named Kubariet on New Holgha, the Mandalorians began working against the Yuuzhan Vong. Beviin fought in the Yuuzhan Vong War alongside Kubariet, and afterward, settled down on his farm on the planet Mandalore. He was one of Boba Fett's most trusted lieutenants, and was once called upon to be interim Mandalore while Fett was away. In 40 ABY, Beviin helped train Jedi Knight Jaina Solo to defeat her Sith Lord brother, Darth Caedus. (Read more...)

Nelani Dinn

(Taken to FA by IFYLOFD)

"Jedi girl, you're not strong enough to save lives. You're not strong enough to sacrifice one to save many."
Darth Vectivus[src]

Nelani Dinn was a female Human Jedi Knight during the time of the Second Galactic Civil War. At some point during her early life, Dinn was taken for Jedi training and was taught for a time by Jacen Solo, eventually graduating to become a Jedi Knight. In 40 ABY, Dinn was stationed on Lorrd when she met up with two other Jedi—Jacen Solo, her former teacher, and his apprentice, Ben Skywalker. Solo and Skywalker were there to investigate an unusual artifact found on Toryaz Station, and after some mysterious incidents in Lorrd City, the three soon found the person who had planted the artifact, a woman named Brisha Syo. Syo took them to her home, a mining facility near Bimmiel, and revealed her true identity: Lumiya, Dark Lady of the Sith, who had been in parts unknown for many years. Dinn was separated from the group, though, and encountered the ghost of a Sith Lord named Darth Vectivus. When Vectivus could not goad Dinn into striking him down, he sent Dinn up to a higher floor, right as Lumiya attempted to turn Solo to the dark side. Dinn attempted to intervene, engaging Lumiya in a duel. The duel concluded with no clear victor, and Dinn then attempted to arrest Lumiya. However, Solo, now under Lumiya's sway, suddenly began to chase the young Knight through the mining facility, intent on killing her. Solo was eventually able to catch Dinn, and he ended her life with a stroke of his lightsaber. (Read more...)

GistangHeadshot-SWL04
"Jes Gistang is in charge of the big gun…"
Sergeant Harkas[src]

Jes Gistang was a Corellian Human female who served as a stormtrooper in Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire circa 137 ABY. As a young woman, she decided to join the 407th Stormtrooper Division through the Imperial Mission, an organization that helped individuals to spread Imperial influence. Put in charge of the heavy artillery in Joker Squad, she quickly found a home among the 407th, and was a talented and responsible soldier. When Anson Trask joined the 407th, Gistang quickly doubted him, betting fellow soldier Vax Potorr that he would last just six hours on the battlefield.

She guided Trask and gave him tips to help him survive among the stormtroopers, and even sympathized with the man. Later, when Lieutenant Gil Cassel informed the 407th that they would be participating in a battle on Borosk against the 908th Stormtrooper Division, which had joined the forces of deposed Emperor Roan Fel, she quickly disagreed with the mission, and even argued that the 407th should join Fel themselves. Gistang reluctantly participated in the Battle of Borosk itself when they were ordered into action. Gistang was killed during the second day of fighting, when her power pack was hit by a stray blaster bolt, causing it to explode and incinerate her. (Read more...)

Seha Dorvald

(Taken to FA by DC)

"Trust isn't anything when it's built on lies. Maybe I'm the stupidest girl you've ever met, but even I can figure that out."
―Seha Dorvald, to Corran Horn, after coming forward of her involvement with Jacen Solo[src]

Seha Dorvald was a Jedi candidate during the Second Galactic Civil War. Born on Coruscant around 22 ABY, most of Dorvald's family was killed following the Yuuzhan Vong's invasion of the galactic capital, and she was orphaned after the subsequent death of her father by a Yuuzhan Vong insect. After the Yuuzhan Vong War had ended, Dorvald met Jacen Solo, a powerful Jedi and hero of the war, during one of his trips to visit the World Brain, near which Dorvald had lived. He found her to be strong in the Force, and introduced her into the New Jedi Order, though she was too old to become an apprentice.

She would complete tasks at Solo's orders, including smuggling Ben Skywalker out of the Jedi Temple to let him find the Amulet of Kalara. However, following Solo's conversion to a Sith Lord, Darth Caedus, and his invasion of Ossus, Dorvald came forward to the Jedi Masters and confessed to helping Solo. She volunteered to help Kyle Katarn, Valin Horn, and Thann Mithric on a mission to either place a homing device on the Sith Lord, capture him, or kill him. The result of the mission was a near failure, with the death of Mithric and the near-fatal wounding of Katarn, but Dorvald was able to complete the mission by rescuing Katarn and placing the homing device on Caedus before escaping.

Darth Wyyrlok (III)

(Taken to FA by Thefourdotelipsis)

Wrrlockheadlegacycpver
"Do you question my actions, Lord Wyyrlok?"
"Yes, but that is one of my duties as you defined them."
―Darth Krayt and Darth Wyyrlok[src]

Darth Wyyrlok was a Sith Master in the One Sith, and the most trusted servant of Darth Krayt himself. A Chagrian, Wyyrlok was the third to hold that title after his grandfather and his mother before him. He also had a daughter in training on Korriban, whom he hoped would one day replace him. Following the Massacre at Ossus, Wyyrlok journeyed with Krayt to Coruscant. As the Sith-Imperial War was declared over by Grand Admiral Morlish Veed of the Fel Empire, Krayt installed himself as Emperor, and established his own Sith Empire.

Over seven years, Krayt continued to establish his empire with Wyyrlok at his side. Simultaneously, the new Emperor's body continued to deteriorate, due to the presence of Yorik-Kul in his body. Wyyrlok sought remedies to the ailment, but was unable to find a cure for his Master. Krayt attempted to bring Cade Skywalker, who possessed unique healing abilities, into his Sith Order, but failed to do so. Although Krayt remained optimistic about his condition, Wyyrlok was not satisfied, and he set off on a perilous journey into the Deep Core to find a cure for his ailing Master. Unable to find one, Wyyrlok later killed his master on Had Abbadon, after Krayt had been severely injured in a battle with Imperial Knights and criminals led by Skywalker. (Read more...)

Syal Antilles

(Taken to FA by Atarumaster88)

"No. I want to be doing something I think will help bring the war to an end. My captain's insignia…it's not worth the metal it's stamped from without that. I'm not going to dishonor my uniform…but the way things are going, I can't seem to bring honor to it."
―Syal Antilles[src]

Syal Antilles was the eldest daughter of Wedge Antilles and Iella Wessiri Antilles. She was born in 17 ABY on Corellia, and though her father was often away due to his New Republic Defense Force obligations, she inherited his love of piloting. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Syal, her mother, and her younger sister Myri were forced to flee their home on Coruscant when it fell to the Yuuzhan Vong. While Iella Wessiri Antilles returned to active service as an Intelligence officer, Syal and Myri were sent to a Jedi sanctuary in the The Maw for their safety.

Years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Syal and the rest of her family moved back to the Antilles homeworld of Corellia. She completed school there and eventually joined the Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet as a starfighter pilot, training under her father's old wingman, Tycho Celchu. However, she did so under the name Lysa Dunter, in an effort to keep away unwanted attention concerning her famous lineage. In the Second Galactic Civil War, Syal was part of the Galactic Alliance Operation Roundabout, and the resulting clashes between Corellian forces and the Galactic Alliance Fleet saw her engage in combat, which on two occasions brought her into conflict with her father, who was flying for the Corellians. After her identity was revealed, Syal was forced to change squadrons, and served in the Battle of Tralus. She continued to serve in the Galactic Alliance military throughout the war, and also began romantically seeing another pilot, Tiom Mordon; the two began considering marriage as their relationship developed.

Toward the latter stages of the war, after her father broke with the Corellians and joined up with the renegade Jedi Coalition, Syal lost her fiancé and, although she was promoted to captain, suffered the loss of her entire squadron when the Corellians used the Centerpoint Station weapon on the Second Fleet. After these personal losses, she was attached as an aide to General Celchu, and accompanied him on a covert diplomatic mission to the Jedi Order. Following Celchu's negotiations, Syal and Celchu briefly flew in Rakehell Squadron as part of the Jedi plan to destroy Centerpoint Station. While Celchu returned to the Galactic Alliance Fleet during the battle, he ordered Syal to remain with the Jedi and her father, and she took orders from Wedge throughout the battle, which led her to shoot down at least one member of Rogue Squadron. She remained with Wedge after the battle was complete and Centerpoint Station was destroyed, on an extended assignment. (Read more...)

Darth Maladi

(Taken to FA by DC, Jedi Kasra, and KDST)

DarthMaladi
"Be careful Maladi, that you do not scheme for scheming's sake. Do not become so enamored of your plotting that you lose sight of your goal."
―Darth Krayt[src]

Darth Maladi was a Devaronian female who served as a Sith Lady in Darth Krayt's Sith Order during Krayt's reign as Emperor. She was the head of Sith Intelligence and Assassination, adept in the ways of inquisition and torture, and a specialist in the art of mental manipulation. A skilled scientist, she tirelessly experimented with ways to pervert science to serve the Sith cause, and also manufactured and dealt the narcotic ixetal cilona. She was responsible for the sabotage of the government-sponsored project to terraform Ossus. Maladi, along with High Moff Morlish Veed, the leader of the Council of Moffs, and his partner, Nyna Calixte, the Director of Imperial Intelligence, started the Sith-Imperial War in 127 ABY, which saw the near-destruction of the Galactic Alliance, the leading government at the time, and the New Jedi Order—the major opponents of the Sith. In 137 ABY, Krayt ordered Maladi to find and dispose of the former Emperor, Roan Fel, and to capture Cade Skywalker, the last remaining member of the Skywalker family. Though she failed with the former task, the Sith were able to capture Skywalker, whom Maladi tortured to find his limits. However, Skywalker escaped, and Maladi was forced to work with Rav, a Feeorin pirate for whom Skywalker had once worked, to find the fugitive. (Read more...)

Darth Azard

(Taken to FA by Grunny)

Darth Azard2
"I am not one of you! I am Sith!"
―Darth Azard to a Quarren Councilor[src]

Darth Azard was a male Quarren Sith Lord of the One Sith, serving under Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt and his Empire. By 137 ABY, Azard had been selected to oversee the Imperial Outer Rim Third Fleet, which was tasked with capturing commander of the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet Gar Stazi. Azard executed Kel Dor Admiral Sha Dun, who was commanding the fleet, for failing in his objective, and replaced him with the Human Admiral Dru Valan.

In response to the Mon Calamari aiding Gar Stazi in the capture of the new Imperious-class Star Destroyer Imperious, Darth Krayt traveled to Dac with a number of Sith Lords, including Darth Azard, to exact his revenge. Azard participated in the massacre of the Mon Calamari Council, where he killed many of his fellow Quarren. In the aftermath of the massacre, Azard pursued the escaping members of Rogue Squadron who had been involved in the plan to capture the Imperious. The Rogues were being rescued by Imperial Knights Treis Sinde and Sigel Dare, who were on a mission for Emperor-in-exile Roan Fel. Azard dueled Master Treis Sinde, which distracted the Quarren long enough for the members of Rogue Squadron and Sigel Dare to escape.

Despite his failure to stop the Rogues' escape, Darth Azard was appointed to oversee the extermination of the Mon Calamari people. With the aid of Sith scientist Vul Isen, Azard awoke a Sea Leviathan in the depths of Dac. A semi-sentient bio-weapon created via Sith Alchemy, the Leviathan had been adapted to undersea use. Azard and Isen sent the Leviathan to exterminate the Mon Calamari refugees who were hiding and by doing so draw out the Mon Calamari Rangers led by Treis Sinde, who had been fighting against the Sith. Azard and Isen followed the Leviathan as it led the way to the base of the Mon Calamari Rangers. During the ensuing battle, the Sith's Aquatic Terrain Armored Transport was crippled when it was rammed by one of the Mon Calamari. Isen managed to avoid serious injury, but Azard was pinned to his chair. To Azard's surprise, Isen used the Quarren's lightsaber to free him, and the two swam toward the surface. The Leviathan was meanwhile defeated by hordes of devilsquid, under Treis Sinde's command. (Read more...)

Dur Gejjen

(Taken to FA by IFYLOFD)

"He was a headshot waiting to happen."
―Han Solo[src]

Dur Gejjen was a Human male from Corellia and a politician at the time of the Second Galactic Civil War. Starting out in politics at a young age, he organized a coalition of Corellian political parties who opposed Corellian President Thrackan Sal-Solo, and drew up plans for a coup against Sal-Solo. This plan was made a reality with the help of Corellian ex-smuggler Han Solo and his wife, former New Republic Chief of State Leia Organa Solo. Gejjen then opportunistically filled the ensuing power void, becoming Corellian president, and quickly expanding his grip to include all five worlds of the Corellian system.

With Sal-Solo gone, Gejjen turned his attention to expelling the Galactic Alliance presence in the Corellian system. As part of this plan, Gejjen tried to overthrow Hapan Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo, an ally of the Galactic Alliance, by supporting a rebel group known as the Heritage Council. When that plot failed, he tried to assassinate war hero Wedge Antilles, due to an attempt by Antilles to resign from the Corellian military; his plan failed. All the while, Gejjen was garnering enemies in high places, most importantly Galactic Alliance Guard commander and Jedi Knight Jacen Solo. Eventually, Solo ordered his apprentice, Ben Skywalker, to assassinate Gejjen. The plan was carried out in the guise of negotiations between Gejjen and Galactic Alliance Chief of State Cal Omas on the planet Vulpter; once the talks concluded, Gejjen was shot and killed by Skywalker.

Darth Maleval

(Taken to FA by Grunny)

DarthMaleval-SWLEG04
"I don't know what frightened me more—the different ways he found to kill…or the joy they gave him."
―Anson Trask[src]

Darth Maleval was a male Quarren Sith Lord of the One Sith, serving under Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt and his Empire, after Krayt deposed Galactic Emperor Roan Fel. By 137 ABY, many units, such as the 908th Stormtrooper Division, had defected to Emperor-in-exile Fel during the Second Imperial Civil War. To ensure the loyalty of Krayt's troops, Maleval was given command of the 407th Stormtrooper Division, which was based on the planet Yinchorr, as they attempted to recapture the base of the 908th on Borosk.

When the Battle of Borosk broke out, Maleval led the 407th division in recapturing the base and ensuring the complete destruction of the 908th down to the last man. After the battle, Maleval ordered Lieutenant Gil Cassel of the 407th to kill his brother, Captain Jared Cassel of the 908th, who had defected to Fel. Maleval killed both Cassel brothers when Gil refused, causing trooper Hondo Karr, of the 407th's Joker Squad, to attack Maleval. Before he could execute Karr, Maleval was shot and killed from behind by another trooper, Anson Trask. The surviving members of Joker Squad covered up the event in the report to their superiors, stating that Maleval had been killed in battle, and that Karr was vaporized in an explosion, allowing Karr to leave the Empire and later join the unified fragments of the Galactic Alliance military, the Galactic Alliance Remnant.

DevaronianSith
"I am not mistaken my Lord! It was Cade Skywalker I saw at Had Abbadon!"
―Darth Reave, to Darth Krayt[src]

Darth Reave was a male of the Devaronian species, and a member of the One Sith, being one of many Sith Lords to serve under Darth Krayt in 137 ABY. During the Second Imperial Civil War, Reave was stationed on the Deep Core world of Had Abbadon. It was there that Reave encountered a former Jedi Padawan named Cade Skywalker, whose healing powers Darth Krayt wanted to use to cure his own Yuuzhan Vong biot infestation. Reave engaged Skywalker and several of his companions in battle while on Had Abbadon, and while he was fighting his opponents, Reave was bitten by an ancient and thought-to-be extinct form of Sithspawn known as a rakghoul. Only after his return to the galactic capital of Coruscant to report his findings to Lord Krayt was it discovered that he had been infected by the rakghoul's plague. Unable to withstand its debilitating affects on him, Reave then transformed into one of the rakghoul mutants, but was beheaded and killed by Krayt's Hand, Darth Stryfe. (Read more...)

Mission to Prakith

(Taken to FA by Tommy9281)

WyyrlokApproachesTheKeep
"I do know some of your secrets. The tomb on Korriban in which this holocron was found was not the real tomb of Darth Andeddu. That much my research shows me. If it were found…if Darth Andeddu reawoke…"
"Would that make you worthy? Perhaps—if you survive the journey."
―Darth Wyyrlok and the gatekeeper of Darth Andeddu's holocron[src]

The mission to Prakith was a quest undertaken in 137 ABY by the Sith Lord Darth Wyyrlok III, chief lieutenant of Darth Krayt's One Sith Order. The necessity of the mission was born out of a need by Wyyrlok's Master, Krayt, to rid himself of the Yuuzhan Vong implants that were threatening to end his life. After tirelessly researching ancient Sith secrets for answers, Wyyrlok consulted a Sith holocron in his possession, that of the long deceased Dark Lord Darth Andeddu, who was known to have preserved his essence for a time after his own death. Wyyrlok then traveled to the Deep Core to Andeddu's homeworld of Prakith, searching for information that would assist Krayt.

Wyyrlok managed to find Andeddu's Keep, where he encountered a previously unknown Sith cult called the Malevolence—one that worshiped Andeddu, and also refused to allow Wyyrlok further entry into their domain. Wyyrlok would not be denied, however, and he killed all the cultists save one named Gerlun, who revived Andeddu's deceased corpse at the cost of his own life. Andeddu then engaged Wyyrlok in a duel of Force abilities, a battle that Andeddu ultimately lost. With the ancient Sith Lord dead for a second time, Wyyrlok returned Andeddu's body to its sarcophagus and sealed it within.

Wyyrlok's mission was partially unsuccessful, as he was still unable to obtain any information in Andeddu's vast collection of Sith lore that would help him in the preservation of Krayt's life. He did, however, recognize what was truly killing the Dark Lord—his own doubts that he would not survive to see his dream of a stable galaxy under Sith rule fulfilled. (Read more...)

Darth Kruhl

(Taken to FA by Tommy9281)

Darthkruhl
"The hate you teach will be used against you and your kind, Kruhl! You cannot kill everyone who will defy you!"
"Of course we can. Hate is a Sith weapon."
―Rikkar-du and Darth Kruhl[src]

Darth Kruhl was a male Sith Lord and assassin in the One Sith Order, being one of many to serve under Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt during his reign as Galactic Emperor. Kruhl was also the direct subordinate of Darth Maladi, acting as one of her operatives in the Sith Intelligence and Assassination department of Krayt's Empire. In 137 ABY, Darth Kruhl was sent to the world of Munto Codru, with instructions to capture the planet for Krayt's Sith Empire. He attempted to peacefully negotiate an agreement with the appointed spokesman of the planet's native Codru-Ji species, Rikkar-du. However, Rikkar-du was uninterested in Imperial domination, and attempted to unite the clans of Munto Codru in rebellion against Kruhl's plan to subjugate them. When Kruhl learned of Rikkar-du's plot, he returned to the planet and confronted the Codru-Ji spokesperson. The two engaged in combat, which resulted in Darth Kruhl slaying both Rikkar-du and his son, and then garnering the cooperation of another clan leader in Rikkar-du's place.

Kruhl was later dispatched by Darth Maladi to the stronghold of the deposed Emperor Roan Fel on the world of Bastion, where he was tasked with assassinating him, to rid Darth Krayt of any further opposition to his rule. Kruhl infiltrated Fel's sanctuary where he attempted to take the exiled Emperor by surprise; however, Fel had been expecting one of Krayt's assassins, and the two engaged in a lightsaber duel. Kruhl was killed when Fel withdrew his concealed blaster pistol and shot the Sith Lord in the stomach. After Kruhl's death, Fel returned his lightsaber to Coruscant, to show the usurper Krayt that his assassination attempt had failed. (Read more...)

Xoxaan

(Taken to FA by Tommy9281)

"I am XoXaan. I was one of the first of the Sith Lords, one of those who abandoned the Jedi Order to seek a darker path to truth."
―XoXaan[src]

XoXaan was a humanoid female Dark Jedi who, along with others such as Karness Muur, was exiled from the Jedi Order following the Hundred Year Darkness. After a battle on the Outer Rim world of Corbos, XoXaan was among the Jedi who abandoned the Republic and traveled to Korriban, where they found the original Sith species. XoXaan and her fellow Dark Jedi enslaved the natives, christened themselves the first of the Sith Lords, and instituted a new order that centered around worship and practice of the dark side of the Force.

Though other Sith Lords possessed similar talents, XoXaan was noted amongst her peers for her skills in dark side healing. She recorded her knowledge in a holocron, which was entombed with her in Korriban's Valley of the Dark Lords. Her spirit waited millennia for someone to come along whom she felt was worthy of her Sith teachings. XoXaan's spirit found one such student in the ex-Jedi A'Sharad Hett. From her holocron, Hett learned the ways of the dark side, and eventually created a new Sith Order based on XoXaan's teachings. After Hett assumed the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith under the moniker Darth Krayt, he constructed a massive statue in reverence of XoXaan—who was considered his first and greatest Sith teacher—within the Temple of the Sith on the planet Coruscant. After his death during the battle of Had Abbadon, Darth Krayt's body was taken to XoXaan's temple on Korriban, where he first embraced the ways of the Sith. It would serve as the place of his final interment. (Read more...)

TreisSinde-SWL32
"Treis Sinde, like my uncle—like my people!—was willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good."
―Monia Gahan on Treis Sinde[src]

Master Treis Sinde was a Human male Imperial Knight who served Emperor Roan Fel and his Empire-in-exile in 137 ABY. Partnered with Master Sigel Dare, he was assigned to sabotage the new Advanced Star Destroyer Imperious nearing completion in the shipyard over Dac in order to keep it out of the hands of Darth Krayt's Sith Empire. After successfully planting explosives on board, they discovered that the vessel had been stolen by Admiral Gar Stazi of the Galactic Alliance. Deciding to inform Stazi of the explosives, Sinde and Dare rescued Monia Gahan, a Mon Calamari pilot from Rogue Squadron. Together, they rescued other Alliance captives from the recent battle, and sought to steal a shuttle to escape the planet and join up with the Alliance fleet. As they prepared to depart, the Quarren Sith Lord Darth Azard tried to stop them. Sinde engaged the Sith Lord in combat, giving Dare, Gahan and the Alliance pilots time to escape. Using an explosion caused by Dare during the shuttle's escape, Sinde retreated from his fight with Azard, going underground and joining a Mon Calamari resistance group that had formed in the wake of Krayt's proclaimed genocide against them.

Allying with the Mon Calamari Rangers, Sinde assisted them by advising them on military tactics and strategies, and helping them defend the Mon Calamari refugees who had taken refuge on the planet's ocean floor. After several months, Sinde was able to contact Emperor Fel on Bastion, and was ordered to return as soon as possible to train new Imperial Knights. Despite feeling that his work on Dac was crucial, he was prepared to obey his Liege's orders. However, at the same time, the Sith scientist Vul Isen created a Sea Leviathan to hunt down the Mon Calamari refugees and suck them dry of their life-energies. When word of its existence reached Sinde, he initially counseled the Rangers to leave it alone and sacrifice the refugees to safeguard the few Ranger units operated on the planet. When Captain Tanquar, leader of the Rangers, made it clear that would not happen, Sinde devised a plan to destroy the Leviathan. While the Rangers attacked Isen's AT-AT Swimmer that was riding herd on the creature, Sinde took command of a number of Devilsquids, six tentacled creatures that hunted Mon Calamari. Sinde directed them to attack the Leviathan, and they dragged it into the depths of the Devil's Crevasse, where the Devilsquids made their home. Returning to Ranger Grotto, Sinde reported to Fel that obtaining transport off the planet was impossible. Fel told the Knight to return when the situation was merely difficult, not impossible.

Jaius Yorub
"This is the Galactic Alliance Cruiser Indomitable. Captain Jaius Yorub commanding. Though battles have been lost, the Alliance still lives. We have not surrendered, we do not concede the stars. We will win back our birthright. Freedom."
―Jaius Yorub's final words[src]

Jaius Yorub was a male Sullustan who served in the Galactic Alliance Defense Force. A naval officer, he was captain of the Scythe-class battle cruiser Indomitable during the Sith-Imperial War of 127130 ABY. The Indomitable served as the flagship of the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet, under the command of Admiral Gar Stazi. During the final engagement of the Sith-Imperial War—the Battle of Caamas in 130 ABY—Stazi took elements of the Core Fleet and began a resistance against the combined forces of the Fel Empire and the One Sith rather than surrender. Yorub accompanied the admiral into self-imposed exile.

Over the course of the next seven years, Yorub served Stazi as an aide and confidante while the Core Fleet continued to embody the ideals of the Galactic Alliance. In 137 ABY, Yorub and Stazi planned the theft of the Imperious, the prototype vessel of the new Imperious-class Star Destroyer class, being constructed at the shipyards orbiting the planet Dac. During the subsequent engagement, the Indomitable suffered crippling damage and Yorub was injured. Although Stazi was prepared to sacrifice himself in a suicide attack—by crashing the Indomitable into the shipyards—Yorub knew that the Alliance could not survive without the Duros admiral. He ordered Lieutenant Jhoram Bey, commander of the elite Rogue Squadron, to evacuate the admiral from the Indomitable, which the Weequay achieved by striking Stazi and rendering him unconscious. With Stazi clear of the Indomitable, Yorub guided the vessel into the shipyards, sacrificing his own life by triggering an explosion that destroyed the ship and a third of the docks. (Read more...)

X-83 Squadron
"Just saying the last ship I saw you on exploded…"
―Shado Vao, to Cade Skywalker, about the X-83[src]

The X-83 TwinTail starfighter was a model of X-wing-series starfighter used in the time of Darth Krayt's rise to power in 130 ABY. Manufactured by Incom Corporation, the X-83 was a cutting-edge vessel and the primary starfighter of the New Jedi Order until that organization's destruction following the Sith-Imperial War. Krayt's Empire banned the manufacture of the X-83, claiming it was too powerful for civilian use, but Incom continued producing the fighters in secret, selling them to opponents of the Empire.

Drawing from the strengths of its lineage, the X-83 was balanced in durability and firepower, with top of the line weapons systems and strong deflector shields and hull. It was a particularly maneuverable fighter as well, in atmosphere or vacuum. The X-83 incorporated its astromech droid, an Incom standard feature, into its frame, giving the ship its own "personality" if not given routine memory wipes. The fighter was primarily used in front-line combat, where it was a match for most fighters, including the Predator-class fighter, on a one-to-one basis. (Read more...)

"I'm old enough to remember that when terrorist activity starts, you need to move fast before it spreads and networks get established."
―G'vli G'Sil[src]

G'vli G'Sil was a male Human politician during the Second Galactic Civil War. A senator in the Galactic Alliance Senate, G'Sil was appointed the head of the Galactic Alliance's Security Council. In 40 ABY, as tensions rose between the Alliance and the planet of Corellia, terrorist attacks struck G'Sil's homeworld, the Galactic Alliance capital of Coruscant. Following the attacks, G'Sil worked with Chief of State Cal Omas to formulate an idea for a branch of the Alliance military to focus on domestic security. The proposed military outfit would eventually become the Galactic Alliance Guard. Later in the year, Omas was removed from office by GAG leader Jacen Solo and Galactic Alliance Defense Force Admiral Cha Niathal. Despite Niathal's request for G'Sil to run for the office once elections resumed, G'Sil refused, due to fear that he would be overthrown as well. Shocked and surprised by the change of power, G'Sil returned to working in the Security Council, at one point getting involved in a dispute between the Alliance member world Murkhana and the Verpine species.

Isen closeup
"I am a scientist. It is my nature to question. Unthinking obedience is fine for a warrior, but a scientist must question—or be worth nothing."
―Vul Isen[src]

Vul Isen was a Force-sensitive Givin male who served the One Sith as a scientist. Born into the One Sith on Korriban, his talents did not lie in combat, but in science, so he was never given the coveted "Darth" title. Isen worked extensively with bioweapons, and was experienced in committing genocide and ruining planets with such toxins. He found no sorrow or regret in these actions, thinking of it as a sort of game.

In 137 ABY, after Darth Krayt ordered the genocide of the Mon Calamari species, Isen was posted to the planet Dac, to work alongside overseer Darth Azard in speeding up the extermination of the Mon Calamari. Tension ran high between Isen and Azard, who felt that the Givin was a lesser Sith for not having a Darth name and disliked his inquisitive nature. Because Krayt wanted only the Mon Calamari and not any of the world's other inhabitants targeted, Isen was unable to use his experimental viral organisms which would reduce the planet to a desolate swamp world. Instead, he turned to ancient Sith lore and alchemically engineered a Sea Leviathan, the first of its kind adapted for underwater use. Isen and Azard hoped the beast would help them eliminate the remaining pockets of Mon Calamari as quickly as possible. The Leviathan led Isen and Azard to the base of the Mon Calamari Rangers, but the Sith's Aquatic Terrain Armored Transport was rammed by one of the Mon Calamari, crippling the vessel. Isen survived uninjured, but Azard was trapped under shrapnel. Using Azard's lightsaber, the Givin scientist freed him, to Azard's surprise, and the two swam toward the surface. The Leviathan was meanwhile defeated by Imperial Knight Treis Sinde and hordes of devilsquid. (Read more...)

Raid on the Armand Isard Correctional Facility

(Taken to FA by Jonjedigrandmaster)

"Seff, things will be a lot better if you just surrender."
―Tahiri Veila, to Seff Hellin[src]

The raid on the Armand Isard Correctional Facility was a rescue mission attempted in 43.5 ABY by rogue Jedi Seff Hellin to free Jedi Knight Valin Horn from the Armand Isard Correctional Facility, a Galactic Alliance prison. The two Jedi were affected by the same psychosis—an illness which caused the affected being to believe that everyone they knew had been replaced by impostors except for other beings that suffered from the disease. Hellin hoped to free Horn, who had been encased in carbonite and placed in the prison. The Galactic Alliance hoped to capture Hellin, while Darkmeld—a covert organization formed by Knight Jaina Solo to counter Chief of State Natasi Daala's efforts to weaken the Jedi Order—hoped to capture the Jedi as well, in order to study the disease.

As his raid began, Hellin was attacked by two Darkmeld members—Imperial Remnant Head of State Jagged Fel and bounty hunter Tahiri Veila. He managed to defeat them, but the two attacked again, and Hellin was forced to abandon his goal. As he left the prison, Hellin was caught by Galactic Alliance bounty hunters Dhidal Nyz and Zilaash Kuh. Solo, however, seized him from the bounty hunters, and loaded him into a speeder piloted by Darkmeld affiliate Mirax Terrik Horn, Valin's mother. A speeder chase ensued, and the bounty hunters and several security speeders pursued them, but Darkmeld managed to shake off all of their pursuers. Hellin was taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where he was to be studied in secret by Mon Calamari Jedi healer Cilghal. (Read more...)

Relentless
"Frigates Ironstar and Verpine are reporting heavy damage. Our own shields are down to twenty percent."
―Captain Hoge aboard the Relentless during the battle against Stazi's fleet above Dac[src]

The Relentless was a Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer which served as the flagship of Darth Krayt's Outer Rim Third Fleet seven years after the Dark Lord of the Sith deposed Galactic Emperor Roan Fel at the end of the Empire's war with the Galactic Alliance. Under the command of Kel Dor Admiral Sha Dun, the fleet had been tasked with capturing Admiral Gar Stazi—the commander of the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet—as well as destroying the unified fragments of the Alliance military.

Despite many minor victories, Dun failed to stop Stazi's attacks, and was executed for his failure on the command deck of the Relentless by Darth Azard, the Sith Lord who oversaw the Third Fleet. Dun was replaced with the Humanocentric Admiral Dru Valan, and under his command, the Relentless saw further action against the Alliance forces above the planet Dac. The battle above Dac resulted in another loss to Stazi, and the Alliance forces captured the Advanced Star Destroyer Imperious, which was under construction at the planet's shipyards. Though the Relentless survived the battle, the Third Fleet was devastated. Disgraced, Valan gave command of the Relentless to the vessel's captain, Hoge, and retired to his quarters to contemplate suicide. (Read more...)

HoskRuns-SWL02
"I cannot match the bounty you may earn but—the Jedi were once a force of good in this galaxy, and I still strive to live by that, to help where I can!"
―Hosk Trey'lis[src]

Hosk Trey'lis, a male Bothan Jedi Knight and healer, was one of the Jedi who worked on the Ossus Project—the project to have the Yuuzhan Vong terraform the worlds that had been ravaged by their invasion of the galaxy. After the project was sabotaged in 127 ABY by the One Sith, who had allied themselves with the Fel Empire, a war broke out between the Empire and the Alliance. Trey'lis managed to avoid the massacre of the Jedi Order on Ossus at the end of the Sith-Imperial War, and spent the next seven years on the run. In 137 ABY, Trey'lis was waiting in Brogar's cantina on the planet Lok for transport offworld when bounty hunter and former Jedi Cade Skywalker, along with fellow hunters Jariah Syn and Deliah Blue, burst into the cantina, seeking to capture the gambler Naxy Screeger. Trey'lis believed the bounty hunters were after him, and attempted to flee. Recognizing the Bothan was a Jedi, the hunters captured Trey'lis, and he was turned over to the Sith for the bounty cast upon living Jedi.

In the Temple of the Sith on the galactic captial of Coruscant, Trey'lis was tortured and interrogated by Darth Maladi, the head of Sith Intelligence and Assassination. Unable to resist her ruthless interrogation and torture techniques, Trey'lis eventually told her everything he knew about young Skywalker, whom Emperor Darth Krayt, the reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, sought for his healing ability. After having a vision of the Bothan, Skywalker traveled to Coruscant to rescue Trey'lis, only to get captured himself. A week later, after pretending to join Krayt and receiving training as a Sith, Skywalker attempted another rescue, but was once again thwarted. Both Trey'lis and Skywalker were taken to Krayt's chambers, where the Dark Lord attempted to convince Skywalker to kill the Bothan as a show of devotion to the Sith. Not wanting to be used as a weapon, Trey'lis pleaded with Skywalker not to turn to the dark side. Krayt then struck the Bothan down, and Trey'lis's body disappeared as he became one with the Force.

"My Master will not make Palpatine's mistake. All Jedi must die."
―Darth Nihl[src]

Darth Nihl was a Nagai male Sith Lord serving in Darth Krayt's Sith Empire during the Sith-Imperial War and the Second Imperial Civil War. A former Nagai warlord, Nihl had been recruited into the One Sith by Darth Krayt, and was initially made into his Fist, or military leader. However, this changed when Krayt's Hand, or enforcer, died, and Nihl was promoted to the position in 130 ABY as a result. One of Nihl's first missions was leading the assault on the Jedi Praxeum at Ossus, in which he killed Jedi Master Kol Skywalker and mortally wounded the Zabrak Master Wolf Sazen. Nihl returned to Coruscant and participated in Krayt's ascension to Galactic Emperor, in which the former Emperor of the Fel Empire, Roan Fel, was thought to be slain, although he actually survived.

Over the next seven years, Nihl acted as Krayt's top enforcer over the galaxy, until the Dark Lord promoted another, Darth Talon, to also serve in the position of Hand. Talon was sent to capture Fel's daughter, Marasiah, and Nihl was sent to reinforce her during the confrontation on Vendaxa between the Sith, Fel, Imperial Knights, and the Jedi who aided them. Skywalker's son, the bounty hunter Cade was among those who aided Fel, and confronted Nihl during the battle on Vendaxa, hoping to kill the Sith Lord for revenge over his father's death. Though Nihl did not defeat Skywalker, he later captured the bounty hunter when Skywalker infiltrated the Temple of the Sith to rescue the Bothan Jedi Knight Hosk Trey'lis. While Krayt attempted to turn Skywalker to the dark side of the Force, Nihl expressed doubts with Krayt's decisions, especially his obsession over Skywalker. Skywalker subsequently escaped, and the Emperor's Hand was sent to defeat him in combat. Nihl was bested in a duel, and had his right arm chopped off while Skywalker escaped. As a result, he was stripped of his title of Hand for his failure to defeat Skywalker and was put under Maladi's charge so that she could perform experiments on him using Yuuzhan Vong biots.

"I am Darth Stryfe! I am death!"
―Darth Stryfe[src]

Darth Stryfe was a male Human and a member of the One Sith Order led by Darth Krayt, a Dark Lord of the Sith. Eventually rising to the rank of Sith Lord, Stryfe served Krayt after the deposing of Emperor Roan Fel at the end of the Sith-Imperial War. In the time of the ensuing conflict, he was selected to be Krayt's Fist, the head of the Empire's military. In 137 ABY, Stryfe oversaw a search for Jedi in the academy on the planet Ossus, and ordered its destruction. In that same year, after Krayt's Hands, Darth Nihl and Darth Talon, let former Jedi Cade Skywalker—who Krayt sought for his healing ability—escape the Sith Temple on the galactic capital of Coruscant, Stryfe was named Krayt's new Hand to replace Nihl.

The Sith discovered that Skywalker and his companions had attacked an Imperial outpost on the Deep Core world of Had Abbadon, and that among them was the spirit of the ancient Sith Lord Karness Muur. After Muur requested a meeting with Krayt, Stryfe was among those Krayt took with him to Had Abbadon. Discovering they had walked into a trap, the Sith engaged Skywalker and his allies. The Sith were defeated and Stryfe's body was recovered by Krayt's most trusted advisor Darth Wyyrlok, who placed the Human Sith Lord in a bacta tank. Unbeknownst to Stryfe, Wyyrlok had killed Krayt after the battle, deciding that the Dark Lord needed to die in order for Krayt's vision of the Sith to live. Taken to the XoXaan's Temple on the Sith homeworld of Korriban for further healing, Stryfe awoke to discover he could no longer feel his Lord Krayt in his mind, and was convinced his master was dead. However, Wyyrlok convinced Stryfe that Krayt still lived, and explained that he would be taking control of the Empire while their Lord recovered. Believing the deception, Stryfe swore he would give his support to the Chagrian Sith Lord. Together the two left for Coruscant to secure the throne and implement the next stage in Krayt's plan for a unified galaxy. (Read more...)

"I'm just trying to get by in a tough galaxy."
―Mirta Gev[src]

Mirta Gev was a female Mandalorian bounty hunter around the time of the Second Galactic Civil War. Born on Mandalore as the daughter of a bounty hunter, Ailyn Vel, she embarked on a quest first undertaken by her mother, which was to find and kill her grandfather, the legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett, who had abandoned Ailyn Vel at a young age. When Gev finally tracked Fett down in 40 ABY, she ended up entering into a partnership with the dying bounty hunter to find a cure for his illness. Gev assisted Fett in finding a bounty hunter named Skirata, who had medical data needed to treat Fett.

She continued to work with Fett after that endeavor, including a mission to find Gev's grandmother and Fett's wife, Sintas Vel, who had been frozen in carbonite since 1 ABY. Gev would later take care of Vel while she recovered from her time in carbon freeze. Once Vel was well enough to be on her own, Gev fought on the front lines of the Mandalorian involvement in the Second Galactic Civil War, including fighting in the Second Battle of Fondor and the Battle of Roche. It was after Roche that she was captured by the Galactic Alliance Chief of State, Sith Lord Darth Caedus, and interrogated. Following her interrogation, the Moffs of the Imperial Remnant released a nanovirus into the atmosphere of her home planet of Mandalore, preventing her from returning home. (Read more...)

"This is Captain Vaclen Tor, in command of the Imperial frigate Steadfast, Third Coruscant Imperial Fleet. I'm sorry, Admiral, but your command to surrender is incorrect and not in keeping with Imperial code."
―Captain Vaclen Tor[src]

The Steadfast was an Ardent-class fast frigate in the service of Darth Krayt's Sith Empire during the Second Imperial Civil War, seven years after the Dark Lord overthrew Galactic Emperor Roan Fel at the end of the Fel Empire's war with the Galactic Alliance. In 137 ABY, under the command of Captain Vaclen Tor, the Steadfast was assigned to the Coruscant Third Fleet, which had been tasked with protecting the strategically important planet of Ralltiir. That year, the fleet of the Galactic Alliance Remnant launched a surprise attack on Ralltiir, intending to capture as many of the Third Fleet's ships as possible. Under the command of Admiral Peto Kelsan, the Third Fleet engaged the Alliance forces until the Bastion Second Fleet, aligned with Emperor-in-exile Fel, arrived to bolster the Alliance fleet.

Facing overwhelming numbers, Kelsan surrendered the Third Fleet to Admiral Edouard Fenel, the commander of the Bastion Second Fleet. However, Tor declared from the command center of the Steadfast that he must decline to follow Kelsan's orders to surrender, as it was their duty to ensure the enemy did not capture their ships. In response, Fenel ordered the crew of the Steadfast to rise up and replace Tor, and when that failed, Fenel ordered his entire fleet to open fire on the Steadfast. Refusing to help fire on the now heavily damaged frigate, Kelsan instructed the crews of the Third Fleet to disregard his previous order and to initiate the self-destruct mechanisms on their ships, before using lifepods to evacuate to Ralltiir. When Fenel ordered his ships to fire on the lifepods of the Third Fleet, the commander of the Alliance fleet—Duros Admiral Gar Stazi—intervened, protecting the lifepods and escorting the Steadfast, as the frigate's lifepod and self-destruct systems had been damaged. After the battle, under orders from Stazi, Tor and the Steadfast crew were deposited on the surface of Ralltiir, and the Steadfast was given to Fel as a gift. (Read more...)

Fehlauur
"We each govern a sector. We each have power."
―Fehlaaur to the Moff Council[src]

Fehlaaur'aitel'loro, also known as Fehlaaur, was a male Chiss diplomat of the Chiss Ascendancy. He was the Ascendancy's liaison to the Fel Empire and was placed in the service of the Imperial Diplomatic Corps as a sign of solidarity between the two governments. In 127 ABY, when the Ascendancy received word of an impending conflict between the Empire and the Galactic Alliance, they attempted to recall Fehlaaur. To ensure the Ascendancy remained bound to the Empire, Emperor Roan Fel granted Fehlaaur the title of Moff, giving him a place on the Moff Council, and promoted him to director of the Imperial Diplomatic Corps.

At the end of the Sith-Imperial War, Fehlaaur was among the Moffs present when Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt deposed Roan Fel, and assumed the throne. During the proceeding Second Imperial Civil War, Fehlaaur continued to serve Krayt's Empire on the Moff Council. In 137 ABY, Krayt tasked the Moffs with devoting their resources to finding former Jedi Cade Skywalker, a descendant of the famous Grand Master Luke Skywalker. After the Sith succeeded in capturing Skywalker, the Moffs were ordered to return to their previously assigned tasks. Not content with being dismissed so easily, Grand Admiral Morlish Veed ordered Fehlaaur and the other Moffs to find out all they could about Skywalker, wanting to know where the former Jedi was, dead or alive.

Following the death of Darth Krayt at the hands of Skywalker and his allies, Fehlaaur and the High Moff Council met to discuss reports that Emperor-in-exile Fel had planned a secret meeting with the Jedi on the planet Agamar. Veed intended for the Empire to capture Fel at the meeting and ordered the Moffs to prepare their forces for immediate departure. (Read more...)

"As a starfigher pilot, you anticipated your enemy's moves. You never applied that to politics. Nor would you let me help you. That's why Morlish Veed is the High Moff and you aren't."
―Nyna Calixte to Rulf Yage[src]

Rulf Yage was a hardliner Human male Moff and a decorated Grand Admiral during the time of the Fel Empire in 130 ABY. As a member of the Imperial Navy, Yage originally served as the commander of Skull Squadron, an elite unit of Predator-class starfighters assigned to defend the Imperial capital world of Bastion, before being assigned as the coordinator of starfighter tactics on the Star Destroyer Ephin Sarreti, attached to the Second Outer Rim Fleet. As his career continued, Yage became a member of the Council of Moffs, representing the interests of the Navy. He married fellow Moff Nyna Calixte at one point in his life. Calixte eventually left Yage for High Moff Morlish Veed, but not before the marriage produced a daughter, Gunn, whom Rulf treated as the son he always wanted.

During the waning years of the Galactic Alliance, the Moff Council allied themselves with Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt's One Sith Order, a move carried out behind the back of the incumbent Emperor Roan Fel. With the Sith's backing, the Moff Council invoked the Treaty of Anaxes and declared war on the Alliance, which culminated in a decisive Imperial victory above the Core World of Caamas that saw the Alliance surrender to Grand Admiral Morlish Veed. Yage was tasked by the Sith with leading an Imperial attack on the Jedi Academy on Ossus, where his stormtroopers wiped out nearly every Jedi present. For his part in the victory, Yage was named the "Hero of Ossus" and made a Moff. He returned to Coruscant, the new capital of the Empire, where he witnessed Darth Krayt usurp control of the Empire, killing a decoy of Roan Fel. Krayt forced the Moff Council into subservience, and Yage and the others complied. During the hunt for Jedi-turned-bounty hunter Cade Skywalker in 137 ABY, Yage and the other Moffs plotted to use Skywalker to assassinate Emperor Krayt. However, Skywalker had already been captured by the Sith, and was being held within their temple on Coruscant. He ultimately escaped captivity and fled Coruscant onboard his ship, the Mynock, after Yage was forced to recall the pursuing Skull Squadron so as not to violate the Sith airspace around the temple.

Koro Ziil, also known as the Hidden One and hu'aac-du'ul-staranjan—which, translated from his native language to Basic, meant "the one who dwells in darkness"—was a male Force-sensitive Kel Dor. He was a member of the Baran Do Sages, a group of Force-sensitive Kel Dor on the planet Dorin. He was one of the few Baran Do to be trained in combat, and became the Master of the Order. Ziil trained Baran Do Sage Charsae Saal, who would become the senior combat instructor at the Baran Do temple. In 34 ABY, Ziil also taught many Baran Do Force techniques to Jedi Knight Jacen Solo, who had spent the last five years traveling the galaxy learning among other Force-based organizations. By 43.5 ABY, Ziil had become the leader of the Hidden Ones—a secret sect of the Baran Do tasked with preserving the Order's knowledge. The Hidden Ones lived in a series of caverns deep below the surface of Dorin, where they could remain hidden from the rest of the galaxy.

In 43.5 ABY, Ziil met with Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker—who had been recently exiled for failing to prevent Jacen Solo's fall to the dark side of the Force and transformation into Darth Caedus—and Luke's son, Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker, shortly after becoming the leader of the Hidden Ones. Ziil attempted to coerce the Skywalkers into joining the sect, and refused to let them leave, in order to protect the sect's secrecy. The Skywalkers resisted, and turned many of the Hidden Ones against him. With the tension mounting between them, Ziil eventually confronted Luke in a duel, which Ziil lost. Ben then revealed the lies which Ziil had told to his sect, and the Hidden Ones revolted against his rule and returned to the surface. (Read more...)

"You told us about Tahv, your town—it sounds a good size."
―Yaru Korsin, to Adari Vaal[src]

Tahv was the capital city of the Outer Rim world of Kesh. It was built around 5000 BBY by the planet's native sentient species, the Keshiri; Tahv's walls originally served the purpose of keeping the Keshiri safe from the planet's many dangerous creatures. Shortly thereafter, during the Great Hyperspace War, a group of Sith were forced to crash-land on the planet in their starship, the Omen. The Lost Tribe of Sith, as the survivors of the accident became known, befriended the Keshiri, and helped them to drive away and domesticate Kesh's native beasts. Tahv then became a decorative city, focusing mainly on workings of art, often created by Sith artists using the Force.

The Lost Tribe of Sith quickly took command of Tahv and the planet's government, and often forced the native Keshiri to work for them. By 41 ABY, however, the class difference between the two groups had narrowed. By that time, the Tribe's ruling body, the Circle of Lords, held their council in the Circle Chambers in central Tahv. In 43 ABY, after Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker was revealed to the Tribe as a threat, they held an emergency meeting in the Chambers. (Read more...)

Dician, a female Human, was a Sith Lord and member of the One Sith, serving at the time of the Second Galactic Civil War. In 40 ABY, before the One Sith had revealed themselves to the galaxy, Dician acted as an agent operating away from the Sith world of Korriban. While doing so, she used a number of cover identities in order to hide her true affiliation from outsiders.

When the fallen Twi'lek Jedi Alema Rar contacted the One Sith to gain support for the new Sith Lord Darth Caedus, following the death of Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya, Dician investigated the whereabouts of Rar as well as the potential threat she posed to the Order. Working undercover, Dician infiltrated the New Jedi Order by impersonating a Confederation intelligence agent, and she collected a considerable amount of information on Rar from the Jedi Order's own hunt for the Twi'lek. Presenting her findings to a conclave of Sith on Korriban, Dician convinced them to devote resources to locating Rar and destroying the asteroid residence of Darth Vectivus, which both Lumiya and Rar had inhabited. The conclave tasked Dician with the mission, ordering her to capture or kill Alema Rar.

Taking the heavily armed frigate Poison Moon to the asteroid's location, Dician engaged the renowned Millennium Falcon, which was also in the area, while she sent shuttles out to set up explosive charges on the asteroid. During the engagement, an ancient Sith Meditation Sphere, Ship, rose from the asteroid. Learning the meditation sphere was heading to the original Sith homeworld of Ziost, Dician ordered the destruction of the asteroid base before the Poison Moon headed to follow Ship. After arriving at Ziost, Dician contacted Ship and asked it to serve her; however, the meditation sphere refused. Angry at the dismissal, Dician ordered the Poison Moon to pick up the shuttle crews they had left behind at the asteroid base before returning to Korriban. (Read more...)

The Sea Leviathan was a semi-sentient form of Sithspawn, engineered through alchemy by the Givin Vul Isen, a scientist in Darth Krayt's One Sith Order. Inspired by the original creation of the exiled Dark Jedi who would go on to become the first Lords of the Sith millennia ago, the Sea Leviathan was born in the depths of the aquatic Outer Rim planet of Dac with the expressed purpose of killing the native Mon Calamari species in accordance with Emperor Krayt's ordered execution of the entire race. With assistance from the Quarren Sith Lord Darth Azard, Isen summoned the Sea Leviathan from the depths of Dac's Soheras Trench and unleashed it upon the seemingly helpless Mon Calamari, who were being detained in the Imperial Extermination Camp 28.

In 137 ABY, the same year of its birth, the Sea Leviathan met its demise when it was attacked by the Mon Calamari Rangers, led by Imperial Master Treis Sinde. Despite its successful massacre of many Mon Calamari, Sinde was able to coax a school of devilsquid with the Force into attacking the Leviathan. Unable to defend itself against the assault, the monstrosity was subdued and dragged into the abyss of Devil's Crevasse to be ravaged by the devilsquid. (Read more...)

"She's devoted, Zayne, not evil. Just like—"
"Just like you."
―Celeste Morne and Zayne Carrick[src]

Celeste Morne was a Human female Jedi Master serving the Jedi Covenant as a Shadow, an agency consisting of Jedi whose identities were erased from the Order's records. She dedicated herself to the Covenant's cause as a result of losing her home and family ties in the Great Sith War. In 3963 BBY the Covenant assigned Morne a mission to retrieve an ancient Sith artifact known as the Muur Talisman; created by a Sith Lord of the old Sith Empire, Karness Muur, the relic gave the wearer the power to control the mutant rakghoul creatures. Furthermore, Morne was tasked with bringing fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick to justice. Over the course of her mission, however, she came to doubt Carrick's culpability in the Padawan Massacre of Taris, for which he had been blamed by the members of the First WatchCircle of the Covenant.

As she fought through the obstructions to her mission, including the unexpected outbreak of the Rakghoul Plague on the planet Jebble and her own doubts about Carrick, Morne fell under the possession of the Muur Talisman. In order to protect the galaxy from herself, Morne allowed Carrick to seal her in Dreypa's Oubliette. She would remain there in stasis until 19 BBY, when the Sith Lord Darth Vader obtained the oubliette and released her. She emerged haunted by the spirit of Karness Muur and discovered that the Sith ruled the galaxy in the new era she found herself in. Enraged at this discovery, Morne dueled Vader and used the Muur Talisman to force him into retreat. For approximately nineteen years afterward she lived secluded on a desolate moon, until she was visited by a company of elite stormtroopers, all of whom she turned into rakghouls in a moment of temporary insanity. Soon after, Rebel Alliance leaders Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa conducted a mission to recover what they thought to be a secret Imperial weapon, but was in fact, Morne. She and her Sithspawn attacked Skywalker and Organa, who managed to barely escape with their lives. Abandoned on the moon, Morne was again left with only the spirit of Karness Muur, who tormented her.

After a hundred years—the nature of her bond with the talsiman endowing Morne with long life—Morne took control of the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer Iron Sun and took it into the Deep Core, intending to hold Muur there forever. She then met bounty hunter Cade Skywalker, and after witnessing him cure himself of the rakghoul plague with the Force, Morne joined Skywalker in his plan to assassinate the current Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Krayt. Their quest took them to the planet Had Abbadon, where Morne allowed for the knowledge of Skywalker's presence in the Deep Core to reach Krayt. He arrived and battle ensued, ultimately resulting in Morne mortally wounding Krayt. With the Dark Lord finally eliminated, Morne focused on her own dilemma: the fear that the Sith spirit trapped inside her would soon dominate her completely. She asked Skywalker to free her of Muur's influence, and Skywalker obliged, killing her with his lightsaber. (Read more...)

(Taken to FA by Grand Moff Tranner, in a crossover with WP:AMB)

"I was only trying to save lives—Imperial lives."
"Then do exactly as I say. You will save a lot of lives—yours among them."
―Lecersen and Darth Caedus[src]

Drikl Lecersen was a Human male member of the Council of Moffs of the Imperial Remnant around 41 ABY. A supporter of Remnant leader and Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, Lecersen was an old-school Moff who believed strongly in doing one's duty, and always kept himself combat-ready. During the Second Galactic Civil War, Pellaeon, Lecersen, and the other Moffs on the Council discussed an offer proposed by Galactic Alliance Chief of State Darth Caedus for Alliance-Remnant unity in combating the Confederation, a rebellion opposed to the Alliance. After unanimously agreeing to offer warships and soldiers to aid in an Alliance attack on the Confederation world Fondor, the Remnant was granted the systems of Bilbringi and Borleias—something the Moffs saw as the beginning of a new Empire.

Following Pellaeon's assassination during the battle over Fondor, the Imperial Remnant aligned itself with the Galactic Alliance under Caedus. Accompanied by additional Moffs and the Imperial Elite Guard of stormtroopers, Lecersen participated in the Imperial conquest of the Roche asteroids. Lecersen was present in the Nickel One command center alongside Caedus and the other Moffs when the Jedi Coalition launched a raid on the asteroid, and he narrowly avoided death at the hands of Mandalorian soldiers. After this slaughter, Lecersen became the de facto leader of the Moff Council. He and other Moffs again accompanied Caedus into battle during an attack on a Jedi Coalition base on Shedu Maad in the Hapes Cluster, while aboard the Star Destroyer Anakin Solo. Against Caedus's orders, the Moff authorized the creation and deployment of a nanovirus targeted against Hapan Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo and her family, a move that ultimately proved fruitless. The battle ended in defeat for the combined Alliance/Remnant forces, and after being given a choice between imprisonment or helping to rebuild the Alliance, Lecersen and the Council opted for the latter. To ensure the Moffs' cooperation, Jagged Fel, son of Imperial starfighter pilot Baron Soontir Fel, was installed as Imperial Head of State—a move Lecersen agreed to, given Baron Fel's reputation as an Imperial pilot.

By 43 ABY, Lecersen maintained a residence in the Senate District on the Alliance capital Coruscant. He continued to serve as a Moff under Fel, who was gradually transforming the Remnant into a new Empire. Nevertheless, Fel had become romantically involved with Jedi Knight Jaina Solo, and Lecersen saw this relationship as a weakness for both the Head of State and the Empire as a whole. He hoped to exploit Fel's relationship—and other factors, such as the weakening of the Jedi Order—to restore the Moffs to glory as leaders of the Empire. (Read more...)

Radd Minker

"Surrender. You're outnumbered three to one, Natua."
―Radd Minker, to Natua Wan, during their stand-off at the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition[src]

Radd Minker was a male Brubb Jedi Knight serving in the New Jedi Order in 43 ABY. Minker was present in the Jedi Archives of the Jedi Temple on the galactic capital of Coruscant when Jysella Horn, daughter of Jedi Master Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik Horn, suffered a mental breakdown that caused her to view all her fellow Jedi as impostors. Minker, along with Falleen Jedi Natua Wan, attempted to stop her from fleeing the temple, but Horn's desperation allowed her to escape, although she was captured by Galactic Alliance Security shortly thereafter. Several days later, Minker was escorting the Solo family to the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition with Wan when the Falleen Jedi underwent the same mental breakdown that Jysella Horn had suffered. Wan caused panic and chaos at the Exhibition, and Minker was instrumental in subduing the rogue Jedi Knight. (Read more...)

UndeadAndeddu-Leg27
"Knowledge is power and true Sith do not share power."
―Darth Andeddu[src]

Darth Andeddu was an ancient humanoid male who held the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, and was dubiously thought of as the forebear of the "Darth" title. In life, Andeddu was a paranoid man who believed that his fellow Sith Lords—whom he regarded as his enemies—wanted to claim his vast collection of Sith lore and ritual for themselves. Thus, he stored his wisdom within a holocron and escaped the Sith tombworld of Korriban, returning to a personal stronghold on his homeworld of Prakith. He then entombed himself in an attempt to deprive his pursuers of the power they sought to steal, but despite this, his mind lived on, retaining the ability to exert control over the flesh in which it once resided. A Sith cult founded by Lord Andeddu called the "Malevolence" maintained residence in his Keep and guarded the fortress for generations in anticipation of their Dark Lord's return.

The legend of Darth Andeddu and his unnatural talents remained at large long after his death. His holocron survived as well—first discovered by the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus in 21 BBY, and then recovered by Darth Krayt and his One Sith Order more than a century later. Krayt, who suffered from a Yuuzhan Vong slave seed infestation that threatened to leave him bereft of sentience, allowed his lieutenant Darth Wyyrlok III to access Andeddu's holocron in search of possible solutions. The device led the Chagrian Sith on a journey to Andeddu's Keep on Prakith, where he encountered and defeated the Malevolence cultists, but in doing so, he revived the ancient body of Darth Andeddu. The Dark Lord then dueled Wyyrlok on a battlefield of the mind, a contest which ultimately resulted in Andeddu's demise. His corpse was resealed within the tomb that had housed it for countless millennia, and his collection of Sith doctrines was pillaged by Wyyrlok, who hoped to obtain a viable means of ending Darth Krayt's plight.

Skirmish at Sinkhole Station

(Taken to FA by Jonjedigrandmaster)

Luke: "One of us needs to report this. If the Sith are involved with this place—"
Ben: "Yeah—I get it. This could be the whole thakatillo."
Luke: "The whole thakitillo?"
Ben: "You know, the big secret. The reason Jacen went dark, the reason the Shelter Jedi are going barvy…the reason the freakin' Sith keep coming back."
―Luke and Ben Skywalker[src]

This skirmish was a small battle that took place at Sinkhole Station in 43.5 ABY between Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his son Ben Skywalker, against a strike team of Sith sent to eliminate the two Jedi. The Skywalkers had recently embarked on a quest to find out what had caused Jacen Solo's fall to the dark side of the Force, which eventually led them to find the Mind Walkers at Sinkhole Station in the Maw. Meanwhile, the strike team, consisting of members of the Lost Tribe of Sith from Kesh, was sent to track down Ship, a Sith Meditation Sphere, and kill Luke Skywalker. After recovering Ship, the surviving members of the Sith strike team arrived at the station and ambushed the Jedi.

The Jedi duo survived the initial confrontation and headed for the station's hangar, only to be ambushed by Sith Master Yuvar Xal, Sith Saber Baad Walusari, and Sith apprentices Vestara Khai and Ahri Raas. Xal and Raas, however, had planned to betray the others in an attempted coup to take over command of the strike team from Khai's Master, Lady Olaris Rhea. They attempted to kill Walusari and Khai as they attacked the Skywalkers, but their betrayal was unsuccessful. Khai quickly killed Xal, and Raas and Walusari were slain by the Skywalkers. Luke then confronted Khai, allowing her to cut him with her parang in order to put a blood trail on her before knocking the apprentice out and taking her hostage.

The Skywalkers were once again ambushed along the way to the hangar by more of the Sith. Khai regained consciousness and attacked as well, and the Jedi were forced to let her escape. They defeated the rest of the Sith and made their way to the hangar, where Ben went to prepare the Jade Shadow as Luke went back inside the station and confronted the four remaining Sith, killing the first two quickly and engaging in a duel with the second pair, Rhea and Khai. In the Jade Shadow, Ben opened fire on Ship, distracting the two surviving Sith and allowing Luke to kill Rhea. Khai, realizing she was no match for the Jedi, saluted them and fled. The Skywalkers allowed her to escape so that they could follow her with the blood trail. (Read more...)

(Taken to FA by Jonjedigrandmaster)

"Don't ever be afraid of what you feel, Vestara. Just know that you can use it. You must use it, or else it will use you."
―Olaris Rhea, to Vestara Khai[src]

Olaris Rhea was a female Human Sith Lady in the Lost Tribe of Sith from the remote planet of Kesh. In 41 ABY, Rhea was appointed to be the Master of Sith Tyro Vestara Khai after Khai had encountered a Sith Meditation Sphere named Ship. Rhea and her new apprentice served in the Tribe's armada aboard the captured warship Eternal Crusader. After the members of the Tribe sensed Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker's presence in the Force two years later, Rhea and Grand Lord Darish Vol handpicked a strike team to bring down Skywalker and recover Ship, who had abruptly left Kesh. Using Khai's unique connection to Ship, the strike team, led by Rhea, tracked the Meditation Sphere to a planet in the Maw, where they encountered Abeloth, a female being who was able to control the world's deadly flora. She agreed to help keep the Sith safe while they searched for Ship. Meanwhile, the strike team's executive officer, Yuvar Xal, was plotting to overthrow Rhea and take command of the team for himself. Before he could execute his coup, the Meditation Sphere finally returned to the Sith.

Abeloth discovered Skywalker's location—along with his son, Ben Skywalker—to be Sinkhole Station, a small space station in the Maw, and Ship transported the surviving Sith there. Rhea led the strike team's ambush of the Skywalkers, and Xal initiated his coup during the battle. Due to Rhea's foresight, however, his betrayal failed, and he was killed by Khai, who was then captured by the Skywalkers. Khai escaped later during the battle; and as Ben prepared the Skywalkers' starship, the Jade Shadow, for flight, Rhea met up with Khai and the two remaining Sith. The other two were quickly dispatched by Luke, leaving only Rhea and her apprentice to duel him. The three fought on the turbolift that led to the hangar. As the lift's door opened, Rhea and Khai saw Ben in the Jade Shadow opening fire on Ship. Luke took advantage of their distraction and quickly killed Rhea, while Khai fled. (Read more...)

Vaal: "We're numberless."
Korsin: "Ah. You mean they have never been counted."
Vaal: "No. I mean, we don't have a number that large."
―Yaru Korsin and Adari Vaal[src]

The Keshiri were a near-Human sentient species native to the planet of Kesh. Powerfully-built, they had pale purple skin and silver hair. They were typically found to be very attractive by Human standards, although the two species were different enough biologically to be incapable of reproduction. The Keshiri were a very religious species; they worshiped gods known as the Skyborn, whom they believed had formed all of the land on Kesh, from which the Keshiri were born. The Keshiri religion and government was led by the Neshtovar, who believed in the importance of tradition and religion above science and technological progress.

In 5000 BBY, a group of Sith crashed onto the planet in their starship, the Omen, after being knocked off course during a hyperspace jump. The Keshiri believed them to be the Skyborn and gave themselves over to lives of service to the Sith. Although the Keshiri eventually found that the Sith were not their gods, they continued serving them for thousands of years. By 41 ABY, the Keshiri had come to be seen almost as equals to the Sith, and several were accepted into the Sith Tribe, with at least one serving on the Circle of Lords, the Tribe's ruling council. Around the time of the Second Galactic Civil War, members of the Keshiri species were able to travel off-world for the first time in the newly-formed Sith armada. (Read more...)

"When the war is over, the map of the galaxy will look very different."
―Quille[src]

Quille was a male Imperial Grand Moff serving on the Imperial Remnant's Council of Moffs in 41 ABY. A rival to Imperial Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon, Quille led a faction of Moffs on the Council in opposition to the aged Pellaeon. An expansionist Moff, Quille wished to see the Remnant transformed into a new Galactic Empire, one that would potentially rival the incumbent galactic government, the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances.

During the Second Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Alliance and the breakaway Confederation, Alliance Joint-Chief of State and Sith Lord Darth Caedus sent a communique to Pellaeon regarding a potential military pact between the Alliance and the Remnant for an attack on the Confederation world of Fondor. When Pellaeon refused, Caedus contacted Quille and offered him the same deal—in exchange for the Remnant's naval forces, Caedus would hand over control of Bilbringi and Borleias to the Remnant. Faced with the chance of expanding the Remnant's borders, Quille presented the offer at a meeting of the Council. After Pellaeon and the Moffs discussed the proposal, the Moffs unanimously agreed to accept the offer and assist the Alliance in capturing and holding Fondor.

During the Second Battle of Fondor, Quille and a group of his Moffs accompanied Pellaeon into the battle aboard the Turbulent-class Star Destroyer Bloodfin. As the battle progressed, Pellaeon was assassinated by aspiring Sith apprentice Tahiri Veila. Quille and his faction quickly assumed command of the Star Destroyer, but a mutiny led by Pellaeon's aide, Vitor Reige, forced the traitorous Moffs to barricade themselves within the warship's command citadel. A boarding party of Mandalorian soldiers led by Mandalore Boba Fett advanced on the citadel and quickly broke in, laying waste to the trapped Moffs inside. Quille, along with his entire faction, perished in the attack. (Read more...)

―Te Corso, to Captain Jhoram Bey[src]

Sayar Dun'La was a male Bothan Jedi healer present at the Jedi Order's Hidden Temple when it was visited by the bounty hunter Cade Skywalker in 137 ABY during the Second Imperial Civil War. Skywalker sought to gain the Jedi Council's assistance in assassinating the Emperor and Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt. The Council refused, however, choosing to pursue a potential alliance with the remnants of the Galactic Alliance and the forces of deposed Emperor Roan Fel. Dun'La, along with three other Jedi, was sent to meet with the leader of the Galactic Alliance Remnant, Admiral Gar Stazi. Yet during their discussions, a crewmember of Stazi's flagship, the Alliance, shot the Admiral, and the Alliance Fleet was attacked by Sith Imperial forces.

Rushing to aid Stazi, Dun'La took the Admiral to the ship's sickbay, where he treated him for his injuries while the Imperial fleet continued to pursue the Alliance forces through hyperspace. When Stazi woke, he refused to go into a bacta tank until he had spoken to his second-in-command, Captain Jhoram Bey. After Dun'La patched Stazi through to the bridge, the Admiral was able to provide Bey with the tactic needed to overcome the Sith Imperial fleet. Following the battle, Dun'La and the other Jedi were able to form a tentative pact with the Galactic Alliance Remnant. (Read more...)

"Would have liked to bag a Skywalker though, Crasher."
―Jae Akura, to Tev Rimon[src]

Jae "Storm" Akura, a Human male, was a starfighter pilot in the service of Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt's Empire during the Second Imperial Civil War. He flew in Captain Gunn Yage's Skull Squadron, a Predator-class fighter unit. In 137 ABY, Skull Squadron was stationed on the galactic capital of Coruscant when bounty hunter and former Jedi Cade Skywalker attempted to rescue the Bothan Jedi Knight Hosk Trey'lis from the Temple of the Sith. Given orders to capture Skywalker alive, Akura and the Skulls engaged the former Jedi's starship, the Mynock, in the skies of the planet until Skywalker managed to lose his pursuers in Coruscant's undercity.

Approximately a week later, Akura flew against the Mynock once again when a group of Skywalker's allies, including his mother, Moff Nyna Calixte—acting in disguise so she would not be recognized—piloted the ship as they attempted to rescue Skywalker from the Sith Temple, where he was being held captive. Just as the Skulls started to wear down the Mynock, they were given orders to abort the mission by Captain Yage's father, Moff Rulf Yage. Akura was disappointed by the orders, since he would have liked to capture a Skywalker. After the death of Emperor Darth Krayt, Akura and the Skulls were stationed aboard the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer War Hammer as part of a mission to capture Emperor-in-exile Roan Fel while he attempted to meet with members of the Jedi Order on the planet Agamar to discuss a possible alliance against the Sith. The operation failed, however, and Fel was able to escape the ambush. (Read more...)

"I am Ganner Krieg—Knight of the Empire! You have betrayed my Emperor, sullied the Empire, killed my friends, and struck down she I have sworn on my life to protect! I will leave your bones for the beasts to crack."
―Ganner Krieg to the Sith on Vendaxa[src]

Ganner Krieg was a male Human Master of the Imperial Knights during the Second Imperial Civil War. As a Knight of the Galactic Empire, Krieg was loyal to and mindful of the oath he had sworn to Galactic Emperor Roan Fel, and later the Empire-in-exile, as well as to Fel's daughter, Princess Marasiah Fel. Willing to obey orders, Krieg was nevertheless very aware of the Imperial Knights' policy which stated that they only served an Emperor who himself served the light side of the Force. Krieg was a trusted friend of fellow Imperial Knight Antares Draco and was more often than not paired with him on missions during the war. As a more level-headed foil to his brash friend, Krieg possessed certain traits that Draco did not, such as respect for the abilities of Jedi.

In 137 ABY, Krieg accompanied Fel as he retook the world of Bastion from the Sith Lord Darth Krayt's Imperial forces, the world having been wrested from Fel's control following the conclusion of the Sith–Imperial War seven years prior. Soon after, Krieg and Draco journeyed to Vendaxa in an attempt to rescue Marasiah from the clutches of the Sith. Escaping the planet on the Mynock, a ship belonging to the bounty hunter Cade Skywalker, Krieg and Draco were able to return the Princess to Bastion, but at the expense of their Emperor's trust, as Fel had expressly forbidden them from rescuing her.

Krieg was later paired with Draco on missions to the Wheel, the Jedi's Hidden Temple, and Had Abbadon; the latter mission saw Krieg doubt orders issued from his Emperor which he saw as skirting the dark side of the Force. Krieg stood by his convictions, refusing to attempt to obtain the ancient Sith artifact known as the Muur Talisman, despite the conflict that this brought him into with Draco. Following the conclusion of the mission, Krieg was sent by Fel to retrieve fellow Imperial Knight Azlyn Rae from Kiffex and later accompanied the Emperor to Agamar along with several other Imperial Knights in order to conduct peace talks with the Jedi Order. The meeting was interrupted by forces of the One Sith, whom Krieg helped fight off before the Jedi and most of the Imperial Knights ferried the Emperor safely away from the planet. (Read more...)

SigelDare
"Die in the name of the true Emperor!"
―Sigel Dare[src]

Sigel Dare was a female Human Master within the Imperial Knights during the Second Imperial Civil War. Fiercely loyal to Roan Fel, the Emperor of the Empire-in-exile, Dare was rigid in her belief that an Imperial Knight's duty was to obey the Emperor's commands above all else, even the will of the Force. Her icy, unwavering demeanor saw her express open distaste to those not aligned with Fel's Empire, including Jedi, Sith, and members of the Galactic Alliance. This mindset often blinded her to the larger galactic picture. She saw potential allies of her Emperor only as enemies.

In 137 ABY, Dare accompanied Fel as he retook the fortress world Bastion from Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt's Imperial forces. She was later sent with Treis Sinde, her former Master, to sabotage the construction of a new Star Destroyer belonging to Krayt's Empire. When the Star Destroyer was seized by Admiral Gar Stazi of the Galactic Alliance Remnant, Dare and Sinde infiltrated the planet Dac and rescued several Alliance pilots from the clutches of Krayt's forces in an attempt to warn Stazi of the explosives they had planted. Although the mission resulted in Sinde becoming stranded on the planet, the actions of the two paved a pathway toward an eventual alliance between Stazi's fleet and Fel's Empire.

Dare was later sent back to Dac to retrieve Sinde, accompanied by the Jedi Master Asaak Dan. When Sinde informed Dare that he would be staying on-planet to continue aiding the Mon Calamari Rangers, she angrily drew her lightsaber and engaged her former Master in a duel that was quickly halted by Dan's intervention. Dan offered to take Sinde's place as an advisor to the Rangers, and Dare and Sinde prepared to return to Bastion. Soon after, the two joined a contingent of Imperial Knights that accompanied the Emperor to Agamar in order to conduct peace talks with the Jedi Order. The meeting was interrupted by forces of the One Sith, but Dare and the rest of the Imperial Knights were able to safely ferry Fel away from the planet. (Read more...)

Hidden Ones

(Taken to FA by Jonjedigrandmaster)

"This is the seed of the Baran Do. The seed that must take root if the Order itself dies."
―Koro Ziil, on the Hidden Ones[src]

The Hidden Ones were a subsect of the Baran Do Sages, a faction of Force-sensitive Kel Dor living on their homeworld of Dorin. In 19 BBY, after the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Jedi Order was hunted and purged. One Baran Do Master, Tokra Hazz, feared that his Order would suffer the same fate. In order to ensure that the Baran Do were not driven to extinction if such an attack occurred, Hazz formed the Hidden Ones with the purpose of preserving the knowledge of the Baran Do Order; therefore, if the Order was ever eradicated, it could be reinstated. Hazz became the sect's first leader, known as "hu'aac-du'ul-staranjan"—or simply the Hidden One—and was given absolute rule over the sect.

The sect's culture revolved around an individual Baran Do Sage holding a dying ceremony before traveling to the system of caverns that was home to the sect. There, the Baran Do became Hidden Ones and chose new names, as they considered their former selves to be dead. The Hidden Ones adopted this practice as, once they entered the caverns, they were never again allowed to leave; otherwise, they would risk exposing the existence of the sect to the galaxy. Such exposure would negate the sect's goal because if the Hidden Ones' existence was known and the Baran Do were attacked, then the Hidden Ones would simply be destroyed as well. However, because the Force thrived on liveliness and vivacity, the Hidden Ones—who were forced to accept death and thus lost their will to live—essentially turned their backs on the Force, causing their powers to wane. This weakening of their powers was also caused by the fact that their sole existence was to retain knowledge; they rarely practiced their skills and never attempted to learn any new ones.

The sect survived undetected by the outside galaxy until 43.5 ABY, when the Jedi Luke and Ben Skywalker embarked on a quest to trace Jedi Knight–turned–Sith Lord Darth Caedus' steps during his five-year journey after the Yuuzhan Vong War, in hopes of learning why he had fallen to the dark side. The Skywalkers infiltrated the Hidden Ones and learned of the many lies that the Hidden Ones' current leader, formerly named Koro Ziil, told his followers—including that the sect was self-sufficient for food and that there was no way to leave the sect's caverns. Hoping to free the sect's members, the Skywalkers began sowing unrest among the Hidden Ones, turning them against their corrupt leader and restoring their will to live. This enraged Ziil, who confronted the elder Skywalker. Ziil was defeated, however, and Ben revealed to the Hidden Ones the many lies that Ziil had kept. The Hidden Ones then revolted against their ruler and returned to the surface. (Read more...)

"I am Lord Viun Gaalan, the last man you will ever meet. Much admiration will be accorded me for killing Luke Skywalker. Especially by the family of Lady Rhea, whom you slew."
"No, you aren't, and no, it won't."
―Viun Gaalan and Luke Skywalker, shortly before the duel[src]

This duel took place in a landing meadow on Dathomir in 43.5 ABY. After a Sith strike team's failed attack on Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, the two Jedi tracked the strike team's sole survivor, Sith apprentice Vestara Khai, to Dathomir. When members of her Sith Tribe arrived to retrieve her, she helped them to capture several Nightsisters, a group of Dathomiri darksiders, who were then taken to the Sith fleet in orbit. Lord Viun Gaalan and three Sith Sabers remained behind to take Khai and one last Nightsister, Halliava Vurse, to the fleet. However, the Skywalkers and the Force-sensitive Dyon Stadd arrived and attacked the Sith while Khai went to retrieve Vurse.

Luke Skywalker engaged Gaalan in a duel, while Stadd and the younger Skywalker took on the other three Sith. Stadd shot and killed one of the Sith, but another attacked Stadd while Gaalan's aide engaged Ben Skywalker. Working together, Stadd and Skywalker were able to quickly kill both of their opponents. Meanwhile, as the elder Skywalker forced Gaalan backward, Khai arrived on the scene. Taking advantage of the distraction she provided, Gaalan fled in his shuttle, leaving the Jedi to take Khai captive. As the Skywalkers left Dathomir with Khai, however, they were confronted by eleven ChaseMaster frigates under the command of the Sith High Lord Sarasu Taalon. Taalon proposed that they form an alliance in order to bring down Abeloth, a powerful dark side being, and the Jedi accepted the offer. (Read more...)

Antares DracoHS
"Do you understand?"
"No, sire. But I will obey."
―Roan Fel and Antares Draco[src]

Antares Draco was the male Human leader of the Imperial Knights during the Second Imperial Civil War. An ace pilot and a skilled lightsaber duelist, Draco was fiercely loyal to and willing to die for Roan Fel, Emperor of the Galactic Empire and later the Empire-in-exile. Although genuine and stemming from years of hard work, this loyalty was also partly rooted in Draco's love for and desire to marry Princess Marasiah Fel, the Emperor's daughter and heir to his throne. Along with Marasiah, Draco counted fellow Imperial Knight Ganner Krieg as one of his most trusted friends and allies, and was more often than not paired with Krieg on missions during the war. Brash and cocky, Draco was openly critical of both the Sith and the Jedi; the latter bias often put him at odds with Jedi Knights that he found himself working alongside.

Trained by the Emperor himself, Draco was an Imperial Knight as early as 130 ABY at the conclusion of the Sith–Imperial War, when he fled the Imperial capital with Fel when the Sith Lord Darth Krayt seized control of the Empire and the galaxy, declaring a new order and driving Fel's forces into exile. Seven years later, Draco accompanied Fel as he retook the world of Bastion, and shortly thereafter traveled to Vendaxa with Krieg in an attempt to rescue Marasiah from the clutches of the Sith. Escaping the planet on the Mynock, a ship belonging to the bounty hunter Cade Skywalker, Draco and Krieg were able to return the Princess to Bastion, but at the expense of their Emperor's trust, as Fel had expressly forbidden them from rescuing her.

Hoping to win enough of Fel's trust back to persuade the Emperor to allow him to marry the Princess, Draco grew even stauncher in his willingness to obey orders, journeying with Krieg on missions to the Wheel, the Jedi's Hidden Temple, and Had Abbadon. While on the latter mission, Draco came into conflict with fellow Imperial Knights Krieg and Azlyn Rae regarding their orders from the Emperor. It was also this mission that saw Rae aid in killing Darth Krayt, and after returning to Bastion, Draco was sent to Coruscant by Fel to investigate the reaction to the Sith Lord's death. He later accompanied the Emperor to Agamar along with several other Imperial Knights in order to conduct peace talks with the Jedi Order, but the meeting was interrupted by forces of the One Sith. As the gathered Force-users battled the Sith, Draco ordered their escape shuttle to ferry the Emperor to safety, although it meant leaving Marasiah and Rae behind. He then swore to Fel that he would rescue the Princess. (Read more...)

Relin Druur was a male Human Jedi Master active around 5000 BBY. After his first Padawan, the Kaleesh Saes Rrogon, turned to the dark side, Druur and his second apprentice, Drev Hassin, began tracking Rrogon. They discovered that Rrogon had become a Lord in the Sith Empire and tracked him to the Phaegon system, where he was mining the dark side ore Lignan. The Jedi ambushed Rrogon with the purpose of disabling his ship, the Harbinger, to prevent the ore from being delivered to the Sith fleet. Druur fought with Rrogon aboard the Harbinger, losing his arm in the duel before charges that he had placed on the hyperdrive exploded, damaging the hyperdrive and incapacitating the Sith Lord. Druur fled to an escape pod, but Hassin, in the Jedi's Infiltrator starfighter, saw that the Harbinger was still preparing to jump into hyperspace and sacrificed himself, flying the Infiltrator into the Harbinger's bridge in hopes of preventing it from escaping the system. Druur attempted to flee in the escape pod, but the Harbinger continued its jump sequence, pulling Druur's pod along with it as it failed to fully enter its hyperlane and traveled through time to 41.5 ABY.

Druur, finding himself in a foreign system, flew his escape pod to a freighter of a make he had never seen. He entered the ship, the Junker, where he met Jedi Knight Jaden Korr and the ship's pilot, Khedryn Faal. Korr revealed to Druur that the Sith Empire had been defeated millennia ago and concluded that he must have traveled through time during the Harbinger's misjump. After they evaded two squadrons of starfighters deployed by Rrogon to destroy the Junker, Korr continued his own task with the assistance of Faal, while Druur and Marr Idi-Shael, Faal's first mate, embarked on a mission to destroy the Lignan aboard the Harbinger. After Idi-Shael helped Druur to fight off a wave of Massassi warriors, Druur convinced him to flee the ship. Druur then fully embraced the dark side and found the Lignan in the Harbinger's cargo hold, where he was confronted by Rrogon. The two engaged in a duel of Force powers, and Rrogon soon gained the upper hand. Druur, however, used his despair at his failures in life to draw on the power of the Lignan, defeating Rrogon and killing him with the Sith Lord's own lightsaber. Druur then continued to consume as much of the Lignan's power as he could and unleashed it upon the Harbinger; engulfing the ship in flames and destroying it even as he died. (Read more...)

"Strength that is never touched by ruthlessness is touchingly irresponsible."
―Darth Vectivus[src]

Darth Vectivus, in the life he enjoyed prior to becoming a Sith, was a male Human who served as the director of the Jonex Mine Eight Eleven B asteroid mining colony in the MZX32905 star system near the planet Bimmiel. A shrewd and principled businessman, he shut down the operation when the reservoir of dark side energy over which the colony was situated began to negatively influence his employees. Because of his own Force sensitivity, he began to study and experiment with the mysterious anomaly himself, where he developed a Force technique which involved the creation of dark side–empowered phantoms. He eventually did away with the entire mining operation and left the habitat for a time in search of the Sith. His quest was ultimately fruitful, and upon completion of his apprenticeship he ascended to mastery as Darth Vectivus, Dark Lord of the Sith. Though a proponent of the dark side, Darth Vectivus' self-discipline and preexisting code of ethics allowed him to remain fair and balanced without succumbing to the lure of power which plagued many of the Sith Lords who preceded him. He eventually returned to the mine and maintained a plentiful existence in the company of friends and loved ones alike.

Vectivus passed into physical death centuries prior to 40 ABY, but his spirit retained its power and lingered in Jonex's labyrinthine mines underneath the Home, where in life he had once resided. It was also here where his ghost met the then–Dark Lady of the Sith, Lumiya, who had taken up residence in his home. Lumiya later raised a phantom of Lord Vectivus that encountered a young female Jedi Knight named Nelani Dinn in the asteroid mines. Vectivus had a conversation with Dinn, during which he attempted to convince her to slay him in order to save the lives of countless others. Dinn declined the offer, prompting the Dark Lord to transform into the likeness of former Galactic Emperor Palpatine, enticing Dinn to strike down the visage of a known villain. Vectivus rebuked her when she again refused him, declaring that she lacked the ability to sacrifice a life other than her own for the sake of many. He then illuminated the exit, mocking Dinn's purported weakness and allowing her to escape while he disappeared into the Force. (Read more...)

Nat Skywalker was a Human male who served as a Jedi Master during the Sith–Imperial War. Born into a strong Force-sensitive family, Skywalker was a descendant of Anakin and Luke Skywalker, the older brother of Jedi Council member Kol Skywalker, and uncle of Kol's son, Cade. During his time as a Jedi, Skywalker married the Kiffar Droo and adopted her daughter Ahnah; he also adopted a young boy named Skeeto. When the SithImperial War began, Skywalker helped the Jedi Order find a suitable planet, Taivas, to build a Hidden Temple. After leaving the Order, Skywalker adopted the alias "Bantha" Rawk, with his family taking the surname as well. In 130 ABY, after the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt's Sith-Imperials massacred the Jedi on Ossus, Rawk assumed that Cade had perished during the attack. However, Rawk was eventually reunited with his nephew, now a bounty hunter, and helped him build the starship Mynock. During this time, he adopted the Cathar Micah after rescuing him from slavers.

In 137 ABY, during the Second Imperial Civil War, agents of the Black Sun crime syndicate attacked Rawk's home on Iego. Rawk and his family were assisted by Cade and the Mynock's crew in defending their home against the mercenaries. They were eventually joined by the Imperial Knight Azlyn Rae, an old friend of Cade's. The former Jedi Master revealed the Hidden Temple's location to Cade when his nephew expressed a desire to assassinate Darth Krayt. Rawk guided Cade's crew and Rae to Taivas and met with the reconvened Jedi Council as his nephew presented them with his plan to kill the Sith Lord. The Council ultimately refused, and Rawk bid his nephew farewell as Cade left with his crew to assassinate Krayt, going against the Council's wishes. After Cade and his team had apparently killed Krayt, he met Rawk and his family on Droo's homeworld, Kiffex, and asked for their assistance in healing Rae, who had been grievously wounded during the mission. Rawk and Droo were forced to encase Rae in a life-preserving suit that Rawk had built for the Kiffu Guardians. When he discovered that Rae had not wanted them to heal her, Rawk gave Cade and his crew two days to repair the Mynock and leave Kiffex. Rawk later assisted the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet in evacuating the planet Dac, which had been stricken by viral spores at the hands of the Sith. (Read more...)

Asaak Dan
"The Jedi…vexed me, Master Sinde! Still, he is brave…and his skills are impressive."
―Sigel Dare, to Treis Sinde regarding Dan[src]

Asaak Dan was a Togruta male Jedi Master who lived during the Second Imperial Civil War. He was present at the Jedi Order's Hidden Temple when the bounty hunter Cade Skywalker visited it in 137 ABY. Skywalker looked to gain the Jedi Council's help in assassinating Darth Krayt, Dark Lord of the Sith and Emperor of his faction of the Galactic Empire. The Council refused, instead opting to oppose Krayt by allying with the remnants of the Galactic Alliance and the deposed Emperor Roan Fel's forces. Dan, along with Jedi Masters Te Corso, Sayar Dun'La, and Drok, was sent by the Council to meet with Admiral Gar Stazi, the leader of the Galactic Alliance Remnant. After Dan and his fellow Jedi boarded Stazi's flagship, the Alliance, he volunteered to accompany the Imperial Knight Sigel Dare on a mission to retrieve her fellow Imperial Knight Treis Sinde from the world of Dac, which was under siege by the Sith-Imperial forces.

When Dan and Dare located Sinde, the Imperial Knight refused to leave Dac since he was assisting the Mon Calamari Rangers, who were fighting against the Sith-Imperials on Dac. After Dare and Sinde began to duel each other, Dan intervened and managed to break up the fight. He volunteered to take Sinde's place with the Mon Calamari Rangers and bid the two Imperial Knights farewell. Shortly thereafter, the Sith Lord Darth Wyyrlok—who had assumed control of Krayt's Empire—ordered the execution of the Final Protocol. The Sith forces on Dac infected the planet's oceans with viral spores that would eliminate all life on Dac within one week. Dan and the Rangers captured the city Heurkea's docks and aided the Galactic Alliance fleet in their evacuation efforts, managing to rescue twenty percent of Dac's surviving population. The Jedi Master departed the planet on the last shuttle with the Mon Calamari Ranger Captain Tanquar. (Read more...)

"Allow me to present our mission commander, Lord Gaalan."
―Lord Gaalan's aide[src]

Viun Gaalan was a male Keshiri Lord of the Lost Tribe of Sith who was admired by others for his physical beauty. In 43 ABY, Lord Gaalan led a convoy of shuttles dispatched from the Tribe's armada to the surface of the planet Dathomir to parley with the Nightsister clan of witches. Expecting all of the Sith to be female, the leader of the Nightsisters, Dresdema, ordered her witches to attack Gaalan's forces once she realized that they were being led by a man. While the Nightsisters were quickly defeated, captured, and taken off-world by the Sith, Gaalan's own departure was delayed by the arrival of Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and two others. Gaalan and Skywalker dueled intensely while several of the Sith Lord's remaining companions were cut down by Skywalker's associates, forcing him to retreat to the safety of his shuttle and flee the battlefield.

Sith magic

(Taken to FA by Tommy9281)

Naga Sadow WotC
"So that's the energy we've been feeling—Sith magic, a power with all the corrupting influence of the dark side of the Force!"
―Wedge Antilles[src]

Traditionally, Sith magic, also known as Sith sorcery, was an arcane expression of Force ability first developed and practiced by the original Sith species through which they manipulated the power of the dark side. The very name of the Sith was adopted by the Dark Jedi Exiles of the Hundred-Year Darkness, who combined Sith mysticism with their own experiments into dark side power to create even more strange rituals and alchemical sciences. Sith magic, while as much a part of the dark side as endowments like Force lightning, was accessible only to those Force-sensitives who possessed an intrinsic relationship with the dark side. Through the recitation of spells, execution of hand gestures, and or the handling of various artifacts, darksiders were able to channel the raw power of the Force's malignant side to warp minds, alter the environment, and obliterate whatever obstacles stood in their way. Males who achieved mastery were known as Sith sorcerers, mages, magicians, or wizards, while females who practiced Sith sorcery were referred to as Sith sorceresses or witches.

Sith magic was prevalent among the citizens of the ancient Sith Empire, and its disciplines were adhered to throughout the span of galactic history, predating even the inception of the longstanding Galactic Republic. Its effectiveness in battle was realized during the Great Hyperspace War of 5000 BBY, up to and beyond the Great Sith War a thousand years later. Proponents of Sith magic revived its practice briefly during the New Sith Wars, but it became something of an oddity following the reformation of the Republic in 1000 BBY. By then, a lone Sith apprentice was its only active student. Still, the allure of Sith magic survived through the fall of the Republic in 19 BBY and the subsequent Galactic Civil War, and curious Force-sensitives learned to harness its power from obscure temples on long-forgotten planets and moons. By 137 ABY, the magic of the Sith was studied by the foremost loremasters of Darth Krayt's One Sith Order. (Read more...)

Duel on Roqoo Depot

(Taken to FA by Tommy9281)

"You! Lay down your blades and kneel."
"Not a chance."
―Lumiya and Luke Skywalker[src]

The Duel on Roqoo Depot took place on a refueling and supply station in the Hapes Cluster during the Second Galactic Civil War. It came about following a complex manipulation on the part of Jacen Solo, who had fallen under the sway of the dark side. Of the opinion that his new Sith mentor, Lumiya, had outlived her usefulness, and that the elimination of Luke Skywalker, the leader of the Jedi Order, would weaken the Jedi, Solo dispatched Lumiya to Roqoo Depot and informed Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker that their son would rendezvous with them there. With Lumiya traveled the Twi'lek Dark Jedi Alema Rar, an enemy of the Jedi Order who was presumed to have died during the Battle of Tenupe four years previously. Rar's vendetta against the Skywalkers had led to an opportunistic alliance with Lumiya, and both women traveled to Roqoo Depot with fail-safe baradium bombs strapped to their chests, set to detonate upon their deaths.

Lumiya and Rar ambushed the Masters Skywalker in the depot's cantina, which proved to be a difficult combat environment for the Jedi, as they were forced to dedicate time and effort to protect the cantina's patrons. As Luke Skywalker battled Lumiya among the crowd, his wife and Alema Rar confronted one another in a side corridor. Separated, the two pairs of combatants were unable to aid each other, and Lumiya was able to grievously wound Skywalker with her lightwhip, while Rar was soon incapacitated by Jade Skywalker and subdued. Jade Skywalker worked quickly to disarm Rar's fail-safe bomb as Lumiya drew closer to victory over the weakened Grand Master, distracting him with taunts and boasts of twisting his son to the dark side. When Skywalker used a discarded blaster to injure Lumiya severely and end the duel, his wife was able to forewarn him of the Sith Lady's baradium explosive, and together the two Jedi Masters fled the cantina. Upon the detonation of the explosive two minutes later, Lumiya was presumed dead. However, the Sith Lady had in fact survived and recuperated before returning to battle weeks later. The news of Alema Rar's survival was communicated to the New Jedi Order, although Jacen Solo was able to fool his aunt and uncle into believing that he had dispatched them to Roqoo Depot in good faith.

"Niin is who I was—Darth Havok is who I am."
―Darth Havok[src]

Eshkar Niin was a male Iktotchi and a member of the Imperial Knights, a Force-using Order loyal to Emperor Roan Fel of the Galactic Empire. Niin became a Master within the Order and the instructor of Antares Draco, to whom he taught strategy and philosophy while training the Human in the ways of the Force. Niin later abandoned his vows as an Imperial Knight and deserted the Order, killing Fel's wife as he fled. This prompted Draco to hunt him down. Draco believed Niin dead after the ensuing confrontation, but the Iktotchi survived and joined Darth Krayt's Sith Order, becoming the Sith Inquisitor Darth Havok.

Krayt's Empire seized control of the galaxy from Fel in 130 ABY, and seven years later, a group of Sith took Fel's daughter Marasiah captive and brought her to the galactic capital of Coruscant. From there, Havok took her to the Sith planet Korriban and began torturing her, hoping to learn valuable secrets of her father's. In between interrogation sessions, Draco arrived on a mission to rescue her and remained on-world to buy her time as she escaped the planet. Havok confronted his former student and engaged him in a lightsaber duel. He offered Draco a chance to join the Sith, but when the Imperial Knight refused, Havok killed him with Force lightning.

"Sumar to Captain Syndor. There has been an incident with Commander Faal. All brain activity has ceased. You are once again the commander of the Winged Dagger. Congratulations, Commander."
"Thank you."
―Sumar and Syndor[src]

Syndor was a male Sith who served as the captain of the frigate Winged Dagger in the Lost Tribe of Sith's armada. In 44 ABY he was under the command of High Lord Sarasu Taalon, who had allied with Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker for a mission to defeat the dark side being Abeloth—although the Sith actually intended to betray Skywalker and force Abeloth to serve them. During the mission, Syndor's command of the ship was transferred by Taalon to the Sith Leeha Faal, whom he gave orders to raid a sacred fountain on Klatooine—orders which Faal relayed to the frigate Starstalker to carry out.

The raid was successful, but both vessels were captured by the Hutts, who were bound to protect the fountain. Because the Winged Dagger had not actually assisted in the assault, however, Syndor, Faal, and the rest of the ship's crew were allowed to go free. The fleet eventually proceeded to Abeloth's planet in the Maw, where Skywalker, Faal, Taalon, and Saber Gavar Khai separated their minds from their bodies to travel beyond shadows in hopes of locating Abeloth. Faal died there, however, and aboard the Winged Dagger, her brain activity ceased. Sumar reported the turn of events to Syndor, who was then reinstated by default as commander of the vessel. He ordered the crew to remove Faal from life support and await further orders from Taalon. The Sith and Jedi eventually found Abeloth, but the Sith's betrayal failed and Skywalker defeated the dark side entity. The Sith fleet was then ordered to leave the planet. (Read more...)

"Bit of advice—forget what you know and be ready to learn if you want to survive the next few days."
―Anson Trask[src]

Anson Trask was a Human male stormtrooper in the Galactic Empire during the Second Imperial Civil War. Following in his father's footsteps, he joined the 407th Stormtrooper Division, where he was assigned to Joker Squad. Shortly after completing his training, he fought in the Battle of Borosk against forces loyal to former Galactic Emperor Roan Fel. After the battle, Darth Maleval executed Joker Squad's commanding officer, Lieutenant Gil Cassel, and Trask killed the Sith Lord to protect his comrades.

Only Trask and Sergeant Ran Harkas remained in Joker Squad following the events on Borosk, but the unit was soon rebuilt, and Trask was promoted to corporal. Joker Squad was later sent to Ossus to find a group of Jedi hiding on the planet. As Trask's group searched the lower levels of the Ossus Jedi Academy, the Jedi Shado Vao used a mind trick to convince Trask to abandon the search and return to his Star Destroyer. Joker Squad was later assigned to the First Sith Imperial Strikeforce and was tasked with killing any survivors of Darth Azard's orbital bombardment of Da Soocha's moon Napdu, an act of retaliation for harboring refugees from the recent genocide of the Mon Calamari.

"We do have a common goal. It would be better to work toward it together rather than getting in each other's way. But don't think that I will not be expecting treachery at every turn. There are fewer enmities more ancient than that of Sith and Jedi."
"This thing we both fight might be older than that."
―Luke Skywalker and Sarasu Taalon[src]

A mission to the Maw was undertaken by a joint alliance of Jedi and Sith in 44 ABY. The Jedi hoped to stop the dark side being Abeloth from continuing to cause a mysterious psychosis among several of the Jedi Order's Jedi Knights, while the Sith, who pretended to have the goal of protecting their apprentices from the psychosis, secretly planned to force Abeloth to join them and then kill the Jedi. Shortly after the alliance was formed, Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker suggested that the allied forces wait for the help of his friend, Lando Calrissian, who owned an asteroid tug which they could use for navigation in the Maw. The Sith agreed, and the fleet decided to wait at Klatooine, where the Sith's leader, High Lord Sarasu Taalon, discovered the sacred Fountain of Ancients and became obsessed with it. During the stopover, the Force-sensitive Dyon Stadd, who had accompanied the Jedi, succumbed to the psychosis. Luke's son, Ben, along with the Sith Vestara Khai, managed to help capture Stadd, who was sedated and placed aboard the Skywalkers' ship.

The allies left Klatooine to await Calrissian just outside the Maw, and Taalon left two frigates behind to wait for Calrissian in case something went wrong, although their actual intent was to take wintrium samples from the Fountain. Their raid went poorly, however, and one frigate was captured. Its crew was put on trial by the recently arrived Calrissian and Jedi Knight Jaina Solo and condemned to death. Calrissian, Solo, and the other frigate then met up with the rest of the fleet and entered the Maw. After they discovered that the space station Sinkhole Station had been destroyed, the allies traveled to Abeloth's planet, where Taalon, Luke, Sith Saber Gavar Khai, and Captain Leeha Faal walked beyond shadows. They failed to locate Abeloth, but Vestara placed a homing beacon on Stadd—who, being under Abeloth's influence, knew where to find her—and set him free, allowing the allies to track him to Abeloth. She attempted in vain to convince Luke that she was his former lover, Callista, and the strike team attacked her.

In orbit, Solo found the Meditation Sphere Ship—who was also under Abeloth's control—and attacked the Sphere in her StealthX. Shortly into the battle the Sith betrayed the Jedi—Gavar attacked Luke, and the rest of the Sith created a control web to capture Abeloth. Ben intervened and dueled Gavar, which allowed Luke to fight Abeloth while the other Sith tried to capture her. Abeloth suddenly scattered them with a Force blast and fled; the Jedi and Sith recovered quickly and ran after her. Luke found her first and, despite another attempt of hers to trick him, stabbed her in the chest, which apparently resulted in her death. Ship suddenly fled the planet, and the psychosis that had affected Jedi throughout the galaxy was terminated. The Jedi and Sith then agreed to repair their alliance, ordering Calrissian, Solo, and the entire Sith flotilla to leave while Taalon, the Skywalkers, and the Khais remained to investigate further into Abeloth. They soon discovered that Abeloth had actually switched bodies with Stadd, and was still alive. Although their alliance was dissolved, the Sith and Jedi chased Abeloth to the moon Pydyr, and again confronted her. (Read more...)

"But trust me, it would be better for everyone if you just forgot we ever found this place."
"It's too late for that, Ben."
―Ben Skywalker, to Vestara Khai, interrupted by the arriving Sarasu Taalon[src]

In 44 ABY, a duel took place at the Pool of Knowledge, a Force nexus on Abeloth's planet. After they fought and apparently killed the dark side entity Abeloth, the Sith Sarasu Taalon, Gavar Khai, and Vestara Khai, along with their Jedi allies Luke and Ben Skywalker, discovered that Abeloth had actually survived. In the ensuing search for her, they were led by the Meditation Sphere Ship to the Pool of Knowledge. There, Ben glimpsed the Sith homeworld, and Gavar, suspecting betrayal, moved to attack. Luke Force-pushed Gavar as Taalon glimpsed a Jedi queen on a throne in the Pool and, fearing that she would prevent the Sith's rise to power, dove in.

Gavar fired Force lightning at Luke, but Ben drove him back with blasterfire before Vestara engaged the younger Jedi in combat. Luke attacked Taalon and Vestara after Taalon reemerged from the Pool, and Gavar threw his parang at Ben, using the Force to guide the blade in between the Jedi's ribs. Gavar then moved to attack Luke, but the Jedi threw him into Taalon and Vestara, and cut off Gavar's weapon-arm. After being repelled with Force lightning, Luke fled the grotto with Ben and collapsed the entrance behind them. The Sith then beat Vestara and sent her to the Jedi—making it appear as though she had fled their punishment—to find out more about the Jedi queen. Meanwhile, Taalon began to transform into the same type of being as Abeloth, and the Jedi tracked Abeloth to the moon Pydyr, where the Sith again joined them in confronting her. (Read more...)

"In your mind, your duty may be clear, but you are Jedi in your heart and you will always yearn for the Jedi way."
―Rasi Tuum to Azlyn Rae[src]

Azlyn Rae was a Human female who, throughout her life, was trained in the ways of the Force by both the Jedi Order and the Imperial Knights. During her childhood, she was apprenticed to the Jedi Master Rasi Tuum while training to be a Jedi on Ossus. She grew close to her classmate Cade Skywalker while at the Jedi Academy, but their relationship and her training were halted when Lord Darth Krayt's Sith Order massacred the Jedi and Krayt seized control of the galaxy. Rae survived the Jedi Purge and believed both Tuum and Skywalker to be dead, prompting her to put her past behind her and become a bounty hunter. When she was discovered by the Imperial Knights, she accepted their offer to join their ranks and complete her training. Rae swore oaths of loyalty to Emperor Roan Fel and began serving his Empire-in-exile.

Seven years after the scattering of the Jedi, Rae learned of Skywalker's survival when she was sent on an undercover mission by Fel to bring him to the Imperial fortress world of Bastion. After revealing herself to her old friend on Iego, Rae earned his trust and was brought by him to a Hidden Temple where the Jedi Order had been slowly rebuilding itself. There, she was reunited with Rasi Tuum and was ordered by her fellow Imperial Knight Marasiah Fel to accompany Skywalker on a mission to assassinate Darth Krayt. The mission led Skywalker's strike team to Had Abbadon, where they lured Krayt into a trap and managed to mortally wound him after Rae stabbed him through the chest. She herself was brought to the brink of death by Krayt's Force lightning, and Skywalker rushed her to Kiffex to be healed by his uncle Rawk.

Rae accepted her impending death and resisted all efforts to heal her, but was nevertheless placed into a suit of life-preserving armor by Rawk and his wife Droo. She reacted angrily to her predicament, lashing out at Skywalker and accusing him of selfishly keeping her alive. After returning to Bastion, she was given less constricting armor by Hogrum Chalk, the Imperial Knights' Master Armorer, and soon after accompanied her Emperor to Agamar to conduct peace talks with the Jedi. The meeting was interrupted by Sith forces, and Rae, Tuum, and Marasiah were left behind when the Imperial Knights and Jedi evacuated the planet. Marasiah was taken by the Sith, and when Rae and Tuum's efforts to rescue her failed, they returned to Bastion to relay their news to the Emperor. (Read more...)

Rasi Tuum was a Cathar male who, along with his brothers, Ahn and Zho, served the Jedi Order during the Sith–Imperial War and Second Imperial Civil War. Eventually ascending to the rank of Master, Tuum took the Human female Azlyn Rae as his Padawan, training her in the ways of the Force. At one point, during a mission to the planet Roon, he defended a camp of miners that the pirates Rav and Zareb Syn were attacking. During the ensuing skirmish, Tuum maimed Rav and slew Syn, earning the hatred of Syn's son, Jariah. In 130 ABY, at the end of the SithImperial War, the Sith forces of Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt assaulted the Jedi Temple on the galactic capital Coruscant. During the attack, Tuum told Rae to flee the Temple and later managed to escape the battle. The Jedi Order was scattered, but Tuum eventually made his way to the Hidden Jedi Temple on the planet Taivas.

Seven years after the fracturing of the Order, Tuum was reunited with Azlyn Rae—now an Imperial Knight serving Emperor Roan Fel's Empire-in-exile—when she, the bounty hunter Cade Skywalker, and their companions arrived at the Hidden Temple. After speaking with Rae, Tuum was attacked by Jariah Syn, one of Skywalker's companions, who tried to avenge the death of his father. The Cathar Jedi Master managed to restrain Syn and explained the actual events of Zareb Syn's death and why he had killed the pirate. Sometime after Rae, Skywalker, Syn, and their allies seemingly assassinated Darth Krayt, Tuum traveled with a Jedi contingent, led by Jedi Master K'Kruhk, to the planet Agamar in order to meet with Emperor Fel and his Imperial Knights to discuss an alliance between the Jedi and Fel's Empire. After K'Kruhk and Fel reached an agreement for a mutually beneficial alliance, Sith–Imperials attacked the Jedi and Fel–Imperial delegations, and Tuum participated in the ensuing battle. In its aftermath, both he and Azlyn Rae were unsuccessful in their attempt to rescue Princess Marasiah Fel from Sith forces above Agamar.

In 44 ABY, during the government-sanctioned siege of the Jedi Temple, Doctor Tharn's professional opinion was regarded by Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala for the determination of the mental status of two Jedi Knights, Sothais Saar and Turi Altamik, both of whom had recently suffered from and been cured of a Force-induced psychosis.

A Galactic Alliance-sanctioned raid on the Jedi Temple took place in 43.5 ABY. Several Jedi Knights had begun to fall prey to a Force psychosis, and the Alliance wanted the Jedi Order to turn over its affected Knights to government custody. When the Jedi continually refused to comply, Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala ordered a group of Mandalorian commandos to attack the Jedi Temple on the galactic capital of Coruscant in retaliation. The Mandalorians feinted an attack on the Temple's Main Hall, but the brunt of their raid was directed on the Temple hangars and food warehouses.

Jedi Master Kyp Durron led the Jedi defenses in the Temple's food-preparation level, while Jedi Knights Jaina Solo and Tyria Sarkin Tainer defended against commandos in the StealthX hangar, defeating them even though Tainer was knocked unconscious during the fight. When another group of Mandalorian commandos broke into the hangar area, Jedi Knight Raynar Thul assisted the apprentice Bandy Geffer in defeating the assailants. Although the raid was considered a failure and the Jedi suffered no casualties, the Mandalorians overran the hangars and food warehouses and successfully crippled the Temple's communications and coordination, and the Galactic Alliance subsequently blockaded the Temple. Not long afterward, Daala issued a Mandalorian siege of the Jedi Temple to try to force the Order to hand over the psychotic captives. (Read more...)

"A siege, right here on Coruscant. One might think that Daala has run out of ideas, or reverted to the days of the past, where one ruled with an iron fist."
―Javis Tyrr[src]

In 44 ABY, a siege of the Jedi Temple was ordered by Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala when the Jedi Order refused to transfer custody of two psychotic Jedi Knights, Turi Altamik and Sothais Saar, to Alliance authorities. Daala enlisted Mandalorian Protectors led by Belok Rhal to blockade the Jedi Temple pending the surrender of Altamik and Saar. The Jedi Council sent an apprentice to negotiate with the Mandalorians, but Rhal murdered her, and the Order's morale diminished further as the Temple's supplies quickly began to run low. The Jedi, meanwhile, had become aware of a new Sith threat and wanted to send a strike team of StealthX starfighters to assist exiled Grand Master Luke Skywalker in dealing with the Sith. However, during a previous Alliance-sanctioned Mandalorian raid on the Temple, the Mandalorians had discovered the build up of StealthXs, and, when Alliance Admiral Nek Bwua'tu learned of this, he feared that the Jedi were preparing to launch an attack against the government.

Both sides became increasingly determined to resolve the stalemate and preserve public opinion, and interim Grand Master Kenth Hamner secretly spoke with Bwua'tu, reassuring him that the StealthXs were intended for a mutual threat, and struck a deal with Bwua'tu to ensure the Alliance Navy's cooperation with the StealthX launch. Although Jedi Leia Organa Solo devised a way to smuggle supplies into the Temple, an assassination attempt left Bwua'tu in a coma, leaving the StealthX launch stalled indefinitely. However, Skywalker defeated the entity Abeloth, who had been causing the psychosis amongst the Jedi, and the afflicted Knights returned to sanity. The Order arranged to meet with Daala and release the Knights publicly, and, following an examination by Doctor Thalleus Tharn, the Jedi were proven to have recovered and the siege was lifted. Afterward, the Jedi Council argued against Hamner for more open action in defiance of Daala, including the launch of the StealthXs. When they discovered that Hamner had made a deal with Bwua'tu, they relieved him from his position as acting Grand Master, and he died soon after when he attempted to prevent the StealthXs from launching.

Astraal Vao was a Rutian Twi'lek female who was born before 126 ABY. When she was a young child, she and her twin brother, Shado, were traveling in their parents' starship when it crashed onto the surface of the planet Vendaxa. Both of her parents were killed, and Vao and her brother were discovered and taken in by the humanitarian Imperial Mission. The Jedi Master Wolf Sazen found them years later and realized that they were both Force-sensitive; Shado joined the Jedi Order, but Astraal Vao felt that her destiny lay with the Mission. She became an Imperial Missionary and dedicated her life to helping others.

When the Empire that the Mission served was seized by the One Sith, Emperor Roan Fel and his daughter, the Princess Marasiah, went into hiding. The young Fel began to infiltrate Imperial systems to ascertain who in the Empire was still loyal to her father, and Vao grew close to the Princess during this time. She defied the new Empire by protecting Fel from Imperial agents who sought to capture her. In 137 ABY, the two were chased from the Imperial Mission temple on Socorro by the Sith Hand Darth Talon and secured passage offworld on the Mynock, a ship belonging to the bounty hunter Cade Skywalker. Vao arranged to rendezvous with her brother on Vendaxa, but Talon followed them and attacked. Shado and Sazen joined forces with Fel and the Mynock's crew to subdue her, but sabotage she had committed on the ship left them temporarily grounded.

Vao attempted to procure aid from Konrad Rus, the Imperial Mission's leader, but reinforcements came from another source, as the Fel-loyal Imperial Knights Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg arrived just before a legion of Sith. The ensuing battle saw the Princess mortally wounded, and Vao tended to her friend aboard the Mynock. When they were able to evacuate the planet, rising tensions between Skywalker, the Imperial Knights, and the Jedi nearly led to a brawl. Vao calmed the situation down and convinced Draco to allow Skywalker to heal the Princess. They arrived at Emperor Fel's fortress world of Bastion soon after, and Vao tried to persuade her brother to remain with the Empire-in-exile. Shado declined, however, and departed the planet.

MasterShaperLegacy11
"Jeedai Master Skywalker had a vision—to use Yuuzhan Vong biotech to transform and restore ailing worlds—and to so transform the galaxy's perception of the Yuuzhan Vong. What was conceived as a dream quickly became a nightmare."
―Nei Rin, speaking of the Ossus Project[src]

Nei Rin was a Yuuzhan Vong female who rose to the rank of Master Shaper before 126 ABY. As a crafter of Yuuzhan Vong biotechnology, she was highly respected among her species. The Yuuzhan Vong were seen as pariahs throughout the galaxy after having ravaged many planets in a war fought a century prior, and when members of the New Jedi Order invited them to use their terraforming technology to restore those worlds and win redemption, Rin was named the Master Shaper of what became known as the Ossus Project. While shaping coral seeds and restoring ecosystems, she worked alongside and grew close to the Jedi Master Kol Skywalker, who had conceived of the project. The two traveled to Wayland in 126 ABY and transformed the planet's devastated surface into a thriving floral landscape, which gave hope to the native Myneyrshi people.

Agents of the One Sith covertly sabotaged the Ossus Project in that same year, mutating the coral seeds that Rin had shaped and infecting the inhabitants of the terraformed worlds with a lethal plague. The Myneyrshi screamed for Rin's blood as she, Skywalker, and their companions escaped from the mutated surface of Wayland. Rin was overcome with guilt and attempted to discover the cause of the mutations while a galactic war erupted over the resulting public outrage. She remained at the Jedi Temple on Ossus over the course of the war but left the planet to perform research in 130 ABY with Choka Skell and Liaan Lah, two Yuuzhan Vong warriors who had been assigned to protect her from the galaxy's wrath. The war concluded during their absence, and the Jedi Temple was attacked by the Sith. Rin and her bodyguards returned to find many Jedi, including Skywalker, slain.

The surviving Jedi were scattered across the galaxy; Rin and her warriors performed funeral services for the fallen at Ossus and brought every remaining Jedi artifact into a hidden sub-basement of the temple. They felt indebted to the Jedi and remained there for seven years as protectors of the Jedi legacy. When Skywalker's son, Cade, returned to Ossus in 137 ABY to complete his training, Rin prepared to turn the Jedi legacy over to him. A stubborn Cade refused, however, and departed the planet after requesting that the Jedi Master K'Kruhk be charged with protecting the artifacts instead. Over the next several weeks, Rin and her warriors, along with K'Kruhk and his Jedi brethren Wolf Sazen and Shado Vao, remained hidden under the temple as patrols of the Sith Lord Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire searched the planet for signs of life. They were able to escape to lower levels within the temple when the Imperials bombarded the compound, but Sazen and Vao took an injured K'Kruhk off-planet to be healed. (Read more…)

Force phantom

(Taken to FA by Tommy9281)

"Even as I speak, I am unaware of myself. Of thinking, of decision making. Could I, in fact, be nothing?"
"No, I can feel you. Gleaming in the Force. Shining with the dark side."
"That's not me. That's whomever I am connected to."
―Darth Vectivus reveals his nature as a Force phantom to Nelani Dinn[src]

Force phantoms were the product of an elaborate Sith ritual that allowed a darksider to create lifelike apparitions from the siphoned Force energy of another life form, irrespective of sentience, and project them across the expanse of the cosmos. An ability that required considerable mental reserve and strength of will, Force phantoms manifested in the physical realm and served whatever inclinations that their creator desired. Their insidious nature was only revealed when they were destroyed, at which time the being or creature to which the phantom was anchored also perished. The power was developed and perfected by the Dark Lord Darth Vectivus, and, much later by 40 ABY, the technique had been thought lost among modern Sith. On the contrary, the rituals for conjuring Force phantoms had been discovered and mastered by the Sith Lady Lumiya, and later the Twi'lek Dark Jedi Alema Rar, both of whom brought them to bear heavily during the Second Galactic Civil War. The secret of their creation was coveted by several beings during that same time, but none so highly as the members of the mysterious One Sith Order, which, rather than allow access to such power to fall into the hands of the Jedi Knights, destroyed the former asteroid home of Darth Vectivus, which was also the source from where the last known practitioners harnessed the dark side for the creation of Force phantoms.

Nek Bwua'tu

Kyp Durron: "How does Bwua'tu do that? He must be Force-sensitive."
Saba Sebatyne: "Better. He is prey-sensitive."
Corran Horn: "Prey-sensitive?"
Saba Sebatyne: "He knowz how his prey thinkz. More, he knowz how they think we think."
―Jedi Masters Kyp Durron, Saba Sebatyne, and Corran Horn discuss Bwua'tu's tactical abilities[src]

Nek Bwua'tu was a Bothan male who served in the Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet as a naval officer, rising to the rank of admiral and later serving as Chief of Naval Operations. Hailing from the planet Ruweln in the Bothan sector, Bwua'tu joined the Galactic Alliance Defense Force and served against the extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong during the Yuuzhan Vong War. In the peacetime period that followed the conflict, Bwua'tu was promoted to the rank of admiral and assigned to command the Alliance Fifth Fleet. He took the Admiral Ackbar, a Victory-class Star Destroyer outfitted with a powerful tractor beam to operate as a pirate-hunter, as his flagship. On the day he was made an admiral, Bwua'tu swore an oath of krevi to always place the interests of the Galactic Alliance above those of himself and his species. He was considered to be a masterful tactician, as he constantly defeated the Thrawn Simulator despite never having actually commanded a fleet engagement.

In 36 ABY, Bwua'tu was at the center of the Swarm War against the insectoid Killiks when he was ordered to institute the blockade of the Utegetu Nebula, which contained the planets on which the Killiks lived. During the subsequent battle of the Murgo Choke—where the Killiks attempted to breach the blockade—Bwua'tu lost the Admiral Ackbar to Killik forces who commandeered the vessel. The Bothan Admiral's tactical insights later assisted in recapturing the ship and ending the war during the battle of Tenupe. Bwua'tu continued to serve the Galactic Alliance during the Second Galactic Civil War, which pitted the Alliance against a Confederation of governments led by Corellia and including Bothawui. Despite pressure from his government to resign, Bwua'tu stayed true to his krevi and commanded Alliance forces during the battle of Hapes, the battle of Kuat, and the battle of Roche. By 43 ABY, Bwua'tu had risen to the post of Chief of Naval Operations under Chief of State Natasi Daala's administration and commanded the entire Alliance Navy. During the government's troubles with the Jedi Order, Bwua'tu was attacked by two assailants wielding lightsabers. The assault, perpetrated by a conspiracy that sought to remove Daala and Imperial Head of State Jagged Fel from office, left the Admiral with severe injuries, including a severed arm, and in a coma.

Denjax Teppler

(Taken to FA by Menkooroo)

"There's no such thing as treason anymore, you know that?"
"How do you figure that, kid?"
"Everything you do helps someone. Everything you do hurts someone. Everything you do violates a law while supporting an ethic, or vice versa. The only differentiation is whether you do things out of selfishness or altruism—and altruism just means, I'm doing this to create a better world as I define better. And if there's no such thing as treason anymore, there's also no such thing as loyalty. You know what I mean?"
―Denjax Teppler and Han Solo[src]

Denjax Teppler was a Human male Corellian who served in various posts in the Corellian system's Five Worlds government throughout his life. He married Aidel Saxan, a fellow politician, before 40 ABY, but the two eventually separated and remained on good terms. In that year, Teppler was the Five World Deputy Prime Minister and Saxan the Prime Minister. She was assassinated during tensions between Corellia and the Galactic Alliance, of which Corellia was a member world; Teppler was afterward thrust into the role of acting Prime Minister. His political opponents immediately plotted and schemed against him, and when he became aware of a secret military meeting that he was not invited to, he recruited the famous Corellian national Han Solo and his wife Leia Organa Solo to spy on the meeting for him. A military operation intended to drive an occupying Alliance force off of Tralus, one of Corellia's neighboring worlds, was planned at the meeting and was later successfully carried out. The Corellian Chief of State Thrackan Sal-Solo seized power in the battle's aftermath and declared himself the President of Five Worlds, a move which ended Teppler's tenure as Prime Minister.

Teppler became Corellia's Minister of Justice after Sal-Solo was killed, but he found himself disenfranchised with the lengths that the Five Worlds government was going to in order to gain ground in its struggle against the Galactic Alliance. His fellow politicians began to monitor his activities, and he hired a look-alike to pose as him and allow him to move around freely. When Teppler met with the Solos in a cantina in Corellia's Coronet City, he obliged their request for classified information by revealing that Five World Prime Minister Dur Gejjen had ordered an assassination attempt on Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo of the Hapes Consortium in order to have her replaced with pro-Corellian leadership. Agents of the Corellian Security Force then chased the group out of the cantina. Corellia was soon after joined in its struggle by other renegade Alliance member worlds, and a full-scale war erupted between the Alliance and the newly formed Confederation. When Alliance agents murdered Gejjen, Teppler became the Corellian Minister of Information and a close aide to Gejjen's replacement, Sadras Koyan.

Teppler and Koyan developed a plan to kill Galactic Alliance Chief of State Jacen Solo by reactivating the disabled Corellian superweapon Centerpoint Station and firing its repulsor weapon at his flagship. The weapon fired but failed to hit its intended target, and Teppler's and Koyan's independent actions prompted a furious Confederation to cut Corellia off from all aid. Teppler acted alone and contacted Turr Phennir, the Supreme Commander of the Confederation military, in order to plead his homeworld's case, but he was told by Phennir that the decision would only be overturned if Koyan was removed from power. During a subsequent Alliance attack on Centerpoint, Teppler again contacted Phennir and told him to place military reinforcements on standby. He then maneuvered Koyan toward an Alliance shuttle and his death; the reinforcements arrived, and Corellia was welcomed back into the Confederate fold. The Confederation surrendered to the Alliance weeks later but remained independent, and Teppler became one of Corellia's co–Chiefs of State. Two years after the conclusion of the war, he represented his homeworld at a Unification Summit held on the Alliance's capital world of Coruscant. (Read more…)

Vote Snaplaunce

(Taken to FA by Darth Culator)

"You have a TIE shuttle."
"Indeed."
"I'm not sure I can recall ever seeing one in private hands."
―Luke Skywalker and Snaplaunce[src]

Vote Snaplaunce was a TIE/sh shuttle owned by Snaplaunce, the Ithorian mayor of Hweg Shul on the planet Nam Chorios. The shuttle was originally part of a collection of restored vehicles owned by a retired mechanic in the Imperial fleet who settled on Nam Chorios around 29 ABY, after which the shuttle was purchased by the Ithorian and renamed eponymously, a point expressed in red lettering over a vivid yellow paint job. Vote Snaplaunce was modified while in possession of its namesake, during which time it was converted from military to civilian use. Snaplaunce used the shuttle as a traveling campaign advertisement, and had a tendency to loan it to prominent visitors to his city.

In 44 ABY, Snaplaunce loaned the shuttle to visiting Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his traveling companions. Master Skywalker, his son Ben Skywalker, and their erstwhile Sith ally Vestara Khai had made their way to Nam Chorios in pursuit of a dangerous entity known as Abeloth. Vote Snaplaunce then fell victim to sabotage, unbeknownst to its owner, and the shuttle was soon afterward attacked by Abeloth's allies in pursuit of the Jedi. A series of calculated malfunctions combined with the ship's disarmament for civilian usage resulted in its near destruction, and forced its occupants to reconstruct the crashed shuttle into a makeshift landspeeder to complete that leg of their quest, and then to abandon Vote Snaplaunce in the desert outside Hweg Shul.

Shikkar

(Taken to FA by Jonjedigrandmaster)

"If you get to your rivals before they're ready, you can do anything you want—including assassination."
"It sounds like a bloodbath."
"Normally we keep it low-key, for order's sake. Poisonings. A shikkar blade in the gut."
Orielle Kitai and Jelph Marrian[src]

Shikkars were intricate, Force-crafted daggers made out of glass that were created by the Lost Tribe of Sith on the planet Kesh. Shikkars had long, elegant blades and were prized amongst the Sith for their artistic value as well as their role as weapons. They were made for one single usage—after a shikkar was used to stab someone, the hilt was broken off, leaving the blade embedded in the victim's body. The weapons were crafted and employed often by members of three rival glass-crafting guilds on Kesh. Tura Sanga was famous among the Sith Tribe for crafting shikkars.

The Sith arrived on Kesh in 5000 BBY, and the first shikkars were created within the next fifteen years. The Sith Seelah Korsin owned a shikkar that had been made by Kesh's native Keshiri. By 3960 BBY, the weapons were often used by Sith in the Tribe to assassinate rivals. Millennia later, the weapons were still prominent—in 43.5 ABY, several members of the Sith strike team sent to kill Jedi Luke Skywalker carried shikkars, including Sith apprentice Vestara Khai and her Master, Lady Olaris Rhea. In 44 ABY, Khai's father, Gavar, presented Vestara with a shikkar from his personal collection in the hope that she would one day use it to kill either Skywalker or his son, Ben. Later that year, several shikkars were specially crafted for the celebration that marked the Tribe's alliance with the dark side entity Abeloth. (Read more…)

Imperial Knight lightsaber

Imperial Knight lightsaber
"Make sure you can get your saber if you need it. I don't trust this bunch."
―Antares Draco, to Ganner Krieg, while facing down a group of Galactic Alliance bodyguards[src]

The Imperial Knight lightsaber was a standard lightsaber model used by the Imperial Knights, an order of Force-users who were loyal to the Fel Empire and later Emperor Roan Fel's Empire-in-exile. The uniform design represented both the Imperial Knights' unity and the Empire's sovereignty over each individual Knight. The lightsaber had a gray, cylindrical hilt that was partially covered by black ridges; save for in customized variations, its angled emitter produced a white blade. Using a synthetic lightsaber crystal, each Imperial Knight constructed his or her own lightsaber during training, following techniques outlined by the former Galactic Emperor Palpatine in his Book of Anger. Able to function both on land and underwater, the lightsaber was one of several tools the Imperial Knights used to protect their liege, a task that was the core purpose of the order. In combat situations, Imperial Knights complemented their offensive lightsaber attacks with defensive cortosis gauntlets, which could disable an enemy's lightsaber blade and allow the Knight to attack. When not using the weapon in combat, an Imperial Knight usually kept the lightsaber clipped to his or her belt.

Imperial Knight lightsabers were used by the order as early as 130 ABY. They saw heavy use in 137 and 138 ABY during the Second Imperial Civil War, when the Empire-in-exile fought an insurgency against Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire. Early in 137 ABY, Imperial Knights Antares Draco, Ganner Krieg, and Marasiah Fel employed their weapons during a battle against the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt's One Sith on the planet Vendaxa. The skirmish saw Cade Skywalker—a former Jedi who had abandoned his family's heritage to become a bounty hunter—pick up Marasiah's lightsaber and attack the Sith, a move that proved to be his first step in reclaiming his Jedi legacy. Over the next year, Imperial Knights used their lightsabers in battle against Krayt's forces on worlds such as Bastion, Dac, and Had Abbadon; Sith fell to Imperial blades in the war's final stages on both Taivas and the galactic capital, Coruscant. During the battle on Coruscant, Roan Fel attempted to use a bioweapon to wipe out all life on the planet. Draco was thus prompted to slay Fel with his lightsaber, thereby preventing the Emperor from committing an act born of the dark side of the Force. (Read more…)

Destruction of Tahv

"Abeloth…"
"She was here?"
"No. In…dream… My ship—take me to my ship. And awaken the Lords. And the defenses—the city…she is going to…to make the city pay…"
―Darish Vol and Revar, following the former's mental duel with Abeloth[src]

The capital city of Tahv on the planet Kesh was destroyed in 44 ABY. The dark side entity Abeloth was brought to the city to ally with the Sith Tribe that lived there after she made a pact to help them destroy the Jedi. However, Abeloth had her own plans for galactic domination; she betrayed the Sith and staged a mental attack on the Sith Grand Lord Darish Vol that left both of them weakened. Vol tried to warn the city of Abeloth's treachery, but he was too late. In her frustration at her failure to kill Vol, Abeloth released waves of destructive Force energy upon the city, leaving it in ruins and killing many of its residents. She proceeded to flee in the Sith Meditation Sphere Ship while the remnants of the Tribe's armada launched from Tahv's spaceport. Sith Saber Gavar Khai ordered the Sith to defect to Abeloth's fleet, but several remained loyal to the Tribe and opened fire on the deserters. Khai's frigate fought off the Sith attack long enough to escape the world, and Abeloth then sent her new forces to distract the Jedi. Their efforts succeeded, as she was able to rise to power on the galactic capital planet Coruscant. (Read more…)

Hogrum Chalk

(Taken to FA by Menkooroo)

Hogrumheadshot
"You serve with honor, Master Chalk."
―Roan Fel[src]

Hogrum Chalk was a Human male who served Emperor Roan Fel until Fel's death in 138 ABY. Originally one of the Emperor's Imperial Knights, Chalk was maimed in an accident and consequently fitted with a cybernetic suit of life-preserving cyborg armor. He afterward left active service as an Imperial Knight and became the order's Master Armorer; in his new post, Chalk crafted the armor worn by his fellow Knights. Before 137 ABY, Elliah Fel—Chalk's sister and the Emperor's wife—was killed by the rogue Imperial Knight Eshkar Niin. Following his sister's death, Chalk remained close with his niece, Princess Marasiah Fel. However, he betrayed her father and became a spy in the employ of Grand Moff Morlish Veed. The Grand Moff was an officer in the Sith Lord Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire, an organization opposed by Fel's Empire-in-exile in the Second Imperial Civil War.

In 137 ABY, Chalk was with Fel's forces on the fortress world of Bastion, and he constructed a suit of life-preserving armor for Azlyn Rae, an Imperial Knight who had been gravely injured during a battle on the planet Had Abbadon. When the Emperor soon after went to the planet Agamar to negotiate an alliance with the Jedi Order, Chalk informed Veed of the meeting's location. The Emperor was subsequently attacked by a Sith–Imperial strike force put together by the Grand Moff, but he managed to escape Agamar with his life. Fel remained unaware of Chalk's betrayal and appointed him as the Director of Imperial Intelligence, which gave Chalk access to Imperial secrets, some of which he passed on to Veed. When an Imperial frigate captured the Sith Lady Darth Maladi, Chalk had her imprisoned on Bastion and brought Fel to see her after she, in an apparently crazed state, requested an audience with the Emperor.

Maladi claimed to no longer serve Darth Krayt and offered to create a deadly pathogen that Fel could use against the Dark Lord—albeit with high civilian casualties—and Chalk urged Fel to accept her offer. When Krayt unleashed his devastating Sith trooper army on the Empire-in-exile and its allies during an evacuation of the Jedi's Hidden Temple, Chalk reiterated his advice, and the Emperor deferred to his wisdom. During an attack on Krayt's throneworld of Coruscant, Fel prepared to unleash the pathogen onto the enemy capital, but he was halted and killed by the Imperial Knight Antares Draco, who had sworn an oath to end his Emperor's life if Fel ever succumbed to the dark side of the Force. The allies nevertheless won the battle and consequently the war, and at Fel's funeral, Chalk delivered a eulogy and announced that the galaxy would be unified under a new Galactic Federation Triumvirate.

Tecorso
"I am Te Corso. The Bothan is Sayar Dun'La, the Togrutan Jedi is Asaak Dan, and my Nikto brother is simply Drok. We bring you greetings from the Jedi Council."
―Te Corso, to Admiral Gar Stazi[src]

Te Corso was an Elomin female who served the New Jedi Order during both the Sith–Imperial War and the Second Imperial Civil War. Before the conclusion of the former conflict, she was a consultant to the ruling Triumvirate of the Jedi-allied Galactic Alliance, but the two organizations were ultimately defeated by the Galactic Empire in 130 ABY. The Jedi were then massacred by the One Sith, and their survivors, including Corso, were forced into hiding as the Sith seized control of the galaxy. Corso found her way to a Hidden Jedi Temple on the planet Taivas before 137 ABY; by that time a Jedi Master, she helped rebuild a broken order.

In that year, the Jedi Council dispatched Corso and three other Masters to meet with Admiral Gar Stazi of the Galactic Alliance Remnant. Shortly after they arrived in the Arkanis sector and boarded the flagship of the Remnant fleet, an attack came from the two groups' common enemy: Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire. Corso and fellow Master Drok flew X-83 TwinTail starfighters alongside the Remnant's own forces in a defensive action as the fleet prepared to flee, and after a series of hyperspace jumps, they were able to help shake the Sith–Imperial pursuit. An alliance against Krayt's Empire was solidified, and the Jedi ambassadors remained with Stazi over the following weeks.

Corso later organized and led the volunteer Sword Squadron during the Remnant's evacuation of the planet Dac following the poisoning of its oceans by the Sith–Imperials. With aid from their allies in the Empire-in-exile, the Jedi and Remnant forces saved 20 percent of the water world's residents, and Corso returned to Taivas. When Darth Krayt soon afterward learned of the Hidden Temple's location, the entire Alliance made a stand against the Imperial onslaught, and Corso was killed by the lightsaber of a powerful Sith trooper while protecting Jedi Master T'ra Saa. The time bought by Corso's sacrifice allowed Saa to gather energy and release a beam of light into space at the moment of her own death, which created an escape corridor for the overmatched Alliance.

Darkdeception

In 138 ABY, during the Second Imperial Civil War, two Imperial Knights and one Jedi Knight undertook a mission to the Sith world of Korriban to rescue Princess Marasiah Fel of the Empire-in-exile. Fel had been kidnapped by forces of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire during a Jedi–Imperial Knight peace conference on the planet Agamar, and Emperor-in-exile Roan Fel tasked Antares Draco—leader of the Imperial Knights and lover of the Princess—with either rescuing or killing her, lest she betray Imperial secrets to Darth Krayt's One Sith. By focusing his anger, Draco disguised himself as a Sith Lord, and he arrived on Korriban with fellow Imperial Knight Ganner Krieg and Jedi Knight Shado Vao posing as captives he had taken on Agamar.

The three infiltrated Korriban's Sith Temple and rescued Fel, who revealed that Draco's former Master, Eshkar Niin, had become the Sith Inquisitor Darth Havok and subjected her to torture. The group then cut their way through Sith as they retreated to their waiting ship, but Draco, determined to see the Princess escape, remained on Korriban's surface as his comrades fled the planet. After slaughtering a wave of attackers with a stolen Sith lightsaber, he was approached by Havok, who beseeched him to embrace his anger and join the Sith. Draco's refusal led to a duel, which Havok won with the use of Force lightning. Fel was safely ferried to her father's fortress world of Bastion, but Draco was left at the mercy of Havok, who sought to torture Imperial secrets out of his new prisoner. (Read more…)

Lumiya

(Taken to FA by Tommy9281, in a crossover with WP:AMB and WP:NEGTC)

"My true name is Shira Brie."
"But you're better known as Lumiya."
"Yes."
―Lumiya reveals herself to Jacen Solo[src]

Shira Elan Colla Brie was a Force-sensitive Human female born on Imperial Center during the height of Galactic Emperor Palpatine's reign over the majority of the galaxy. Brie's dedication to the tenets of the Imperial New Order doctrine garnered the interest of Palpatine's chief enforcer, the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who sped the young woman's advancement in various Imperial-sponsored programs, including her enrollment into the Intelligence Academy of Carida. After she graduated with top honors and was promoted to the rank of major by Vader himself, Brie was given a highly classified mission to infiltrate the Rebel Alliance and either cause the death or ostracism of Rebel hero and Jedi Luke Skywalker amongst his peers. Brie achieved the latter, but the events that ended in Skywalker's disgrace also left her horribly disfigured and near death. She was recovered by Darth Vader, who rehabilitated her with cybernetic replacements much like his own. Brie then began to train in the dark side of the Force at the feet of Vader under the assumed identity of Lumiya, Dark Lady of the Sith.

While Lumiya studied in secret as Lord Vader's Shadow Hand, she also served as one of the Emperor's HandsForce-trained assassins who answered to Palpatine himself. Lumiya embarked on a pilgrimage to the world of Ziost, during which she crafted her lightwhip. While on that sojourn, however, both Palpatine and Darth Vader perished in battle at Endor, and as the foremost of their pupils despite her incomplete training, Lumiya defaulted to Mistress of the Sith. Purpose-driven toward vengeance against Luke Skywalker and the Alliance for the deaths of her Sith Masters, Lumiya apprenticed an ex-stormtrooper named Flint and lent support to the extra-galactic Nagai species' war against their mortal Tof enemies. The Sith Lady suffered a critical defeat early in her campaign, the damage from which required replacement of her armor, and saw the debut of a triangular headdress that, along with her lightwhip, was thenceforth regarded as her trademark. She continued to aid the Nagai, during which time she confronted and was ultimately beaten by her sworn enemy, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker. As the Nagai–Tof War commenced, however, the Dark Lady escaped Skywalker's custody, with promises of mayhem for him when next they met. Lumiya subsequently ended her partnership with the Nagai in favor of the Tof opposition, but their swift defeat by the unified forces of the Alliance, Empire, and Nagai signified the end of the war. Thought by the majority of the galaxy to be dead, Lumiya retreated to the Outer Rim with retribution ever on her mind.

While in hiding, the Dark Lady consolidated resources in preparation for a strike against the New Republic, the successor government to the Rebel Alliance. She again worked closely with Imperial Intelligence and took the second of her apprentices, former Imperial Royal Guardsman Carnor Jax, after the mysterious death of her first. Together Lumiya and Jax eliminated the last vestiges of the Prophets of the Dark Side cult. She then charged him with the infiltration of the Imperial stratosphere in anticipation of a threat to her Sith Order, while she herself brokered for additional assets with Imperial stewardess Ysanne Isard. However, Jax's own nascent ambitions led him into an ill-conceived attempt at betrayal against Lumiya, and he was murdered by another former Royal Guardsman, leaving the Dark Lady once again apprentice-less. She returned to the planet Korriban to plot strategy and, in possession of the ancient Sith oracle stone artifact, continued to monitor galactic events from afar. By 25 ABY, though, Lumiya had abandoned the Outer Rim in favor of the former asteroid dwelling of the ancient Sith Lord Vectivus, where she mastered the creation of his dark side–empowered Force phantoms. That same year, she considered an invitation by a new order of Sith on Korriban, who sought to bring the Dark Lady into their fold, but was delayed en route by advance scouts of the Yuuzhan Vong race on the eve of their galactic invasion. She eluded capture and attempted to undermine the Yuuzhan Vong offensive in her own way from the shadows.

As the galaxy descended further into chaos, Lumiya came to believe that order and stability could only be imposed through the supreme will of a Dark Lord of the Sith. It was during cultivation of such beliefs that she met ex-Jedi–turned–Sith Vergere, and through the latter's superior knowledge, Lumiya's training was completed. Together they conspired to restore peace to the galaxy through the creation and ascension of the next Sith Lord. A second overture on behalf of those on Korriban to ally was once again ignored, as Lumiya and Vergere contrived to bring the Skywalker family's Sith legacy full circle through Jacen Solo, the grandson of Darth Vader. She and Vergere facilitated Solo's capture by the Yuuzhan Vong, to whom Vergere had ingratiated herself, and the Fosh began the training that Lumiya would eventually finish. Vergere died three years into the Yuuzhan Vong War with her role in the affair complete, but another twelve passed before Lumiya was prepared to uphold her end of the bargain. In 40 ABY, she enacted her plan to beguile Solo against the backdrop of a new war, one consequent of her clandestine instigation, by aggravating the already tepid relationship between the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances and Corellia's Five Worlds government. An orchestrated series of events led to a meeting between Lumiya and Solo at her home, which resulted in his agreement to take up the way of the Sith. For months she trained him, while continuing her secret manipulations of the Corellian separatist movement and enlisting the services of the Twi'lek darksider Alema Rar in the process. Lumiya then revealed herself to the Jedi and maneuvered their determination to eliminate her into a distraction from Jacen Solo's utter embrace of the dark side. Satisfied that vengeance had been cemented against her enemies, Lumiya surrendered herself to death in combat against her long-time nemesis, Luke Skywalker. (Read more…)

Geist
"Thus we are all sent back to our kennels."
―Geist bemoans the Moff Council's treatment by the Sith[src]

Geist was a Human male who served as both a High Moff and the general in command of the Imperial Army in the Fel Empire and later in Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire. Preferring war over peace, Geist led his troops from the front lines and favored the use of threats and intimidation as tactics. As a member of the Moff Council in Emperor Roan Fel's Empire, Geist accepted an alliance with the One Sith during the Sith–Imperial War between the Empire and the Galactic Alliance, but the Empire's ultimate victory in the war in 130 ABY saw the Sith Lord Darth Krayt usurp the Imperial throne and send Fel fleeing into exile. Geist and the rest of the Moff Council swore allegiance to the new Galactic Emperor and served in his new Sith Empire.

Over the next seven years, Geist came to lament the Moffs' lack of real power under Sith rule, and he declared as much during a meeting of the council on the Empire's capital world of Coruscant in 137 ABY. The Empire was fighting the Second Imperial Civil War against Fel's Empire-in-exile, the Galactic Alliance Remnant, and the New Jedi Order, and late in the year, Geist was given command of a naval mission to confront the Empire's foes. The Sith had recently poisoned the planet Dac, and Geist led the Outer Rim Third Fleet against the Alliance Remnant forces that sought to evacuate its citizens. However, a fleet loyal to Fel arrived to reinforce the Remnant, and Geist was able to convince his stubborn Sith overseer Darth Stryfe that a retreat was preferable to destruction.

Darth Krayt began a significant military push against his enemies in 138 ABY, and when he learned that the Jedi had a Hidden Temple on the planet Taivas, he placed Geist in command of the ground forces that would participate in the attack. Geist led stormtroopers, walkers, starfighters and Sith warriors against the Jedi fortress after an orbital bombardment proved ineffective against Taivas's magnetic fields, but fleets of the Alliance Remnant and the Empire-in-exile soon arrived to support their Jedi allies. Krayt then unleashed his secret Sith trooper army against his opponents, and as the fanatical Sith troopers blasted through everyone who stood in their way, Geist was killed by the guns of their Annihilator-class starfighters.

Bail Antilles (Galactic Alliance)

(Taken to FA by Menkooroo)

"What the Rear Admiral says is true—the Alliance is slowly bleeding to death."
―Bail Antilles[src]

Bail Antilles, a Human male, was a politician who rose through the ranks of the Galactic Alliance bureaucracy and became one of the three members of the government's ruling Triumvirate at some point before 130 ABY. He was known to be a level-headed individual who carefully considered his options, and he often provided the swing vote between his fellow Triumvirs, Gial Gahan and Nu Toreena. Based on the Alliance capital world of Coruscant, Antilles had a daughter named Ona.

Antilles served in the Triumvirate during the Alliance's Sith–Imperial War with the Galactic Empire, which saw numerous Alliance member worlds defect to the enemy. When Rear Admiral Piers Petan proposed striking at a lightly-guarded Emperor Roan Fel at the planet Caamas, Antilles's vote was the deciding factor. Although Jedi Master Kol Skywalker and Admiral Gar Stazi both suspected a trap, Antilles felt that the dying Alliance needed to take the risk. The Empire sprang their trap at the Battle of Caamas, and the outmatched Alliance surrendered and conceded the war. The Triumvirs were replaced by loyal Imperial bureaucrats, and Antilles died at some point before 137 ABY. (Read more…)

"What we want to do is play on their mutual suspicions—break up the negotiations and make it seem like their idea."
―Morrigan Corde, to Jor Torlin[src]

A skirmish took place both aboard and in the space outside of The Wheel space station in 137 ABY. Although fought between members of the Empire-in-exile and Galactic Alliance Remnant, it was engineered by agents of the One Sith and Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire, whose machinations served to disrupt a potential alliance between Empire-in-exile and Remnant forces. The skirmish came about due to a meeting aboard the station between Remnant Admiral Gar Stazi and Empire-in-exile Captain Mingo Bovark, who were discussing the idea of combining their organizations' strength against Darth Krayt's forces in the ongoing Second Imperial Civil War. Sith–Imperial agents Jor Torlin and Morrigan Corde were concurrently on the station, hunting for the former Jedi Cade Skywalker, whom Krayt sought.

After determining that Skywalker was no longer aboard, Torlin and Corde decided to disrupt the negotiations through sabotage. Using Command Override Limpet Droids, Torlin remotely took control of a turbolaser aboard Bovark's shuttle and fired at the nearby Remnant shuttle. When news reached Stazi, he attacked Bovark with a vibro-shiv, while a lightfight erupted outside of their conference room between Stazi's bodyguards and Bovark's Imperial Knight protectors, Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg. Draco was able to rescue Bovark, but the Imperials' escape was blocked by Wheel Administrator Pol Temm and the Wheel Security Force. Temm barred all of Fel's forces from the station, and the Empire-in-exile remained devoid of allies. (Read more…)
