Yoda has a nice post on these forums but when I saw it said Sith instead of Darksider I felt the need to post my own format. Long before the Darksiders were called Sith there was actually a race of Sith that had nothing to do with the force or the Jedi (originally). I will present to you the history from the beginning and try to bring it up to the current timeline as best as I can.
 
The Sith: History Lesson I (Prepared by Limbonik, Darksider Historian.)
 
"The Sith were an ancient race of insect-like humanoids, characterized by their dark, red skin, cranial horns, and long bony chins. There were several subspecies of Sith, each with its own place in their society. Some were slaves, other were warriors, and the highest caste of all were the magicians. They lived in a remote sector of the ancient galaxy, and were unknown to most until a group of Jedi Knights discovered their existence. The early Sith regarded the Dark Jedi as gods. The Force-sensitive Sith magicians proved to have control over the Dark Side of the Force, and the Jedi took many of their tomes and teachings back to study. They hoped to determine ways to avoid the Dark Side, but a group of Jedi found the allure of the Dark Side and the Sith teachings too powerful. They rose up against their Masters, but were not yet powerful enough to defeat them. The Dark Jedi were banished from the Old Republic, and chose to flee across the galaxy to the worlds of the true Sith. Over the millennia, the two groups intermingled, until very little pure Sith blood remained. One of the early Dark Lords of the Sith was Marka Ragnos, who was succeeded by Naga Sadow. Freedon Nadd was a later Dark Lord who was caught by the Jedi Knights on Onderon and entombed there. Nadd's spirit invaded the body and mind of Exar Kun, who eventually became a Dark Lord himself. They developed a rigid hierarchy of magicians and warriors, with the leadership of the brotherhood falling to the current Dark Lord of the Sith. The Sith wrote expansive volumes on the control and use of the Dark Side, and described incredible manifestations of power. Later, they were able to create amulets and weaponry that could assist the user in controlling the Dark Side. These devices amplified the Dark Side, making the user incredibly powerful. Much of the Sith lore was hidden on various worlds when the ancient Jedi Knights first sought to eradicate the Sith. Some was stored on Korriban, some on the moon of Yavin 4. Since that time, the term Sith has come to represent this ancient brotherhood which learned how to harness the Dark Side of the Force and twist it to perform many evil acts."
 
"A new breed of Sith Lords was founded some 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin by a rogue Jedi Knight who yearned to learn more of the Dark Side of the Force. Together with about 50 followers, this rogue fled the Old Republic and established his own Sith order. With galactic domination on their agenda, these new Sith Lords quickly became distrustful of each other and abusive of their dark side powers. In a short time, they had nearly wiped themselves out again. One Sith Lord remained, a man by the name of Darth Bane. He swore that the Sith would never again vanish from the galaxy, but also made certain that they never grew beyond their means. He established a rigid code by which there could only be a single Sith Lord and a single Sith apprentice. When the Lord finally expired, his current apprentice was promoted and allowed to take their own student. This pairing continued for the next several centuries until Darth Sidious rose to power as the Sith Lord. Sidious eventually took Darth Maul as his apprentice, and hoped to take control of the galaxy by bringing the Old Republic down from the inside. However, Maul was destroyed by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Sidious’ plans were thwarted. Decades later, Emperor Palpatine established Darth Vader as the last Dark Lord through the rigorous training he gave Vader."

Sith History: (Prepared by Limbonik, Darksider Historian.)

The Old Path.

Little knowledge of the Sith Empire remains. Much of Sith history before the time of Naga Sadow, before the time of Marka Ragnos - 1000 years before the time of Ulic Qel-Droma and Exar Kun - remains masked in shadow, hidden by Sith devotees before the war, or in its aftermath by the Jedi. Only a few Sith strongholds were allowed to survive, and from these the Jedi hoped to gain an insight into Sith powers - they wished to learn the weaknesses of these dark magics so the Sith could never resurrect their fallen Empire. One artifact recovered from one of the few remaining Sith libraries was a Holocron created by Naga Sadow himself. From it the Jedi discovered details of the Sith people, their philosophies and teaching methods, and of their belief in the power of the Dark Side.

Though the Sith held great power, they were primitive and seldom gathered in large groups, and so knowledge of them remained hidden from the Jedi through most of their existence. Then, a catalyst. A fallen Jedi arrived on the homeworld of the Sith and took particular interest in their techniques of drawing power from the Dark side. The fallen Jedi gained control over the Sith and proclaimed himself the first Dark Lord of the Sith, a title which was to plague the galaxy for millennia... his name was Exar Kun.

But this history can be reviewed by reading through the ancient books which illustrated this history.

After these Sith were destroyed, the Sith left this galaxy for another two thousand years. But then, a new struggle arose where a disbanded Jedi found out about the weakness and the strength of the Sith powers.

Recently, new caches of Sith knowledge have been unearthed by new Sith devotees. Should these fanatics learn to use Sith artifacts such as the Sith talisman - then there is no telling what evil spectres may reawaken to spawn a new Sith brotherhood... let us hope it never comes to pass as it did with the second Sith Empire which ended with the name of Palpatine.

The New Era.

The Sith originally were a race of people, led by the dark warriors as described previously. I shall continue with the moment that described the new era of the Sith.

About two thousand years before the birth of Anakin Skywalker, a small segment of the Jedi decided to follow the Dark Side of The Force. The new Sith era began to exist when a number of Jedi Knights defected to study the Dark Side of the Force. But these Jedi were banished by the Jedi Council and - as it was reported through ancient documents - found refuge on the planet of the Sith in the same way as the dark warriors did before the rule of the Sith Empire arose.

These Jedi were thought of as gods by the Sith and they easily conquered the planet and enslaved the Sith. This group of Dark Jedi later became known as the Sith and were led by the strongest of their number, who were given the title "Dark Lord of the Sith."

The members of the new Sith clan believed that personal power was more important than anything else. The followers of the Sith soon began to train their own apprentices in the ways of the Dark Side. They formed small groups within the larger order in order to better teach the ways of the Sith. Each of these groups had a leader who had risen to power in his particular clan.

The leader of the clan was given the title "Dark Lord of the Sith". There was only one Dark Lord in each clan at one time. Many Dark Lords were chosen for leadership by the higher Sith Lords and many of them had to defeat their opponents to secure the position. Often, the losers would resort to violent acts in attempt to seize the title and claim revenge. In total, there were 12 Dark Lords of the Sith from the beginning of the cult to the death of Darth Vader. After the cult had reached about 50 members, the Sith Lords began to fight for pure control over the clans. There were many battles for the leadership of the clans and the rank of Dark Lord.

At the same time, the Jedi and the Sith were at war as the dark Sith fought among themselves for leadership. The result of these internal and external battles resulted in a nearly extinct Sith order. In the end all of the Sith coups were supposed to be wiped out by the Jedi Order for another thousands years.

But at the end of this war, one Sith Lord named Darth Bane survived to carry on their order. He remembered the ways of the Jedi who act in a passive, controlled and patient form, and he embeded this strength in the lore of the Sith. He reinvented the Sith to consist of one Dark Lord and one apprentice. This should have made it impossible that inner conflicts would again destroy the Order from inside. They operated in secrecy, waiting for the chance to defeat the Jedi and seek revenge.

About eight or nine years after the birth of Anakin Skywalker, a man called Darth Sidious and his apprentice Darth Maul made their first overt attempt of hostility toward the Jedi. Darth Maul was ordered to hunt down and destroy Qui-Gon Jinn and his padawan, Obi Wan Kenobi, but he failed the final goal as he was killed by Obi Wan Kenobi.

Sith Powers: (Prepared by Limbonik, Darksider Historian.)

What are Sith? Sith is an ancient species of lower mindful creatures which lived in the Outer Rim Territories.

But the Jedi see the Sith as a strong opponent in the struggle of life and of the Force. Sith once were fallen Jedi, those who were unable to believe in the light side of the Force. They fell into the darkness, a molten pit of fear, anger, hate and aggression.

But as always, failure leads to enlightenment, and in this way, the dark beings of the Sith Order were able to realize their mistakes. Their inner struggle, the fight against each other made them weak. They assassinated each other until only one was left, and this one was hiding well before the Jedi could destroy him, too. This one learned that the powers of the dark side of the Force made him strong, but the powers of the light side made him much more powerful than the other Sith ever were.

Since knowledge of patience, the control and the ability to stay calm were gathered by this one, he created a new order of Sith, a new generation. There were only two, a master and an apprentice. Before this time, there were many apprentices and followers of the dark leader, and now they were hidden amongst the Jedis to wait until they were able to reveal themselves to the Jedi.

By now, the Sith were able to use the two sides of the Force, some powers of the light, and some powers of the dark realm - which both lead the life of the galaxy. But do not misunderstand this, a Sith is not a god, yet, it is a powerful and dangerous twisted creature.

Sith Lore - An Encyclopedia (Prepared by Limbonik, Darksider Historian.)

Battle Hydra
This alchemical beast was created by Exar Kun during his years as a Lord of the Sith. The Battle Hydra was a two-headed, winged dragon with a whip-like tail which is tipped with a hooked stinger. The stinger is coated with an acidic poison. The hydra is mindless and shy when left on their own, and do not willingly attack unless goaded by the Dark Side of the Force.

Brotherhood of the Sith
This order was formed by Exar Kun. Its members were disillusioned Jedi Knights who chose to learn the dark lore of the Sith.

Ch’hodos
This planet was part of the ancient Sith Empire. The planet - continually bathed in red light from its nearby sun - was the site of Shar Dakhan’s fortress.

Dark Eye
This was the name used to describe the small, black patrol droids used by the Sith shortly before the Clone Wars. Each eye had a pair of camera lenses and a communications package, along with a compact repulsor drive. Weaponry could be mounted in a number of configurations. In many respects, the Sith dark eye was a predecessor to the Imperial probe droid used during the Galactic Civil War. In addition to the basic probe droid package, the dark eye was plated with energy-absorbing stealth armor, which allowed it evade most sensor scans.

Denarii Nova
An area of the galaxy characterized by the exploding stars that spread arcs of stellar fire throughout its environs. It was created when the ancient Sith Lord Naga Sadow tried to elude the pursuit of the Old Republic, some 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Using the Sith stones set into his unique starship, Sadow harnessed the Dark Side of the Force and tore the two Denaari stars apart as the Old Republic's fleet moved in. The fleet was destroyed, and Sadow was able to escape. Aleema tried to use the same technique a thousand years later, during the Great Sith War, and created the Cron Drift. She, however, failed to escape the destruction and was killed.

Dxun Beast
The Dxun Beast is a huge, winged reptile native to the Dxun moon of Onderon. They have flat, wedge-shaped heads with 10 horns, two short arms, a huge wingspan, and long tails. They are extremely territorial, and will violently defend their lands. The Jedi Master Arca hoped to use them to protect the Sith knowledge obtained from Freedon Nadd by placing all Sith artifacts on the Dxun Moon. Exar Kun was able to use the Dark Side of The Force to strike the Dxun down and gain entry to the storehouse.

Dxun Devourers
Another winged denizen of the Dxun moon, these flying creatures are somewhat smaller than Dxun Beasts, but doubly vicious. They also have two arms, but they lack the horns that the Beasts have. Instead, they have a long, jutting lower jaw, which is pointed. This lower jaw is used as a attack weapon.

Dxun
This moon is one of four natural satellites of the planet Onderon, Dxun was the closest to the planet, and the home of the Dxun Devourers and Dxun Beasts. In a precise balance of nature, the Dxun moon orbits extremely close to Onderon on a regular basis. Its orbit is so close that the atmospheres of both bodies begin to mix, allowing the vicious beasts to migrate from the moon to the planet. For this reason, it was known to the Onderonian natives as the "demon moon." At the order of the ancient Jedi Master, Arca, a tomb for Freedon Nadd and his Sith artifacts was built on the Dxun moon of Mandalorian iron.

Empress Teta System
This seven-world system is a source of carbonite. Known in ancient times as the Koros System, it was renamed when Empress Teta unified the seven surrounding systems. It was also home to the Krath, a group of young nobles, led by Satal Keto and Aleema, who rose to power using the lore of the ancient Sith Dark Lords. They assumed control of the system when they murdered their parents, and were forced to fight the combined troops of the Old Republic, the Jedi Knights, and the Tetans that opposed them.

Foerost
This planet was the site of an ancient Old Republic shipyard. The shipyard's engineers removed raw materials from the planet and transported them into high orbit for delivery to the shipyards. It was attacked by Aleema and a cluster of Ulic Qel-Droma's Krath starships and some Mandalorian warships. Qel-Droma then stole nearly 300 of the Republic's starships to add to his vast galactic armada. He took them to Coruscant, where he attempted to eliminate further resistance to Sith domination.

Freedon Nadd Uprisings
A series of revolts which occurred on Onderon prior to the Great Sith War. They were initiated by the followers of Freedon Nadd's Dark Side teachings, and furthered by the rise in Dark Side energies on the planet. The uprisings ended just after the death of the Onderonian King Ommin.

Galactic Museum
This huge museum, located in Imperial City on Coruscant, has survived the various political changes that have swept around it. The museum is the home of many records detailing the Old Republic's growth as well as that of the Empire. There are a number of Sith and Jedi artifacts stored there. The Emperor Palpatine cut all funding for the museum during his rule, keeping the knowledge contained within from the public. He did, however, leave enough money for the museum to carry on his legacy. When the Rogue Squadron pilots infiltrated Coruscant following the Battle of Endor, they found a vast holographic display in which Darth Vader lamented over the death of Palpatine at the hands of the treacherous Rebels. Vader's image claimed that Palpatine was visiting a new "planetary ore extractor" - another name for the second Death Star - when the Rebels attacked. The image went on to claim that the Rebels were going to steal it in order to destroy Imperial planets, when Palpatine offered them forgiveness. The Rebels then killed him and stole the extractor. Much of this pro-Imperial propaganda was removed by the New Republic, following the liberation of Coruscant from Ysanne Isard, and was replaced with fairly neutral depictions of the Galactic Civil War.

Goluud Corridor
This risjy hyperspace route was discovered by Jori and Gav Daragon, a thousand years before the Great Sith War. It involved a jump past the unstable red giant Primus Goluud, but was approved by the Navigator’s Guild. It was deemed too dangerous, however, when the Cha’a drone ship Zeta Five was drawn too near Primus Goluud and exploded. The Daragons were discredited because of this, and were forced to flee Cinnagar.

Great Hyperspace War, The
An ancient battle between the minions of the Light and Dark sides of the Force, the Great Hyperspace war erupted on the heels of the First Unification Wars fought in the Koros System. The ancient Sith lords, led by Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow, fought for control of their minions while Sadow attempted to take control of the galaxy. Meanwhile, the Jedi Knights Odan-Urr and Ooroo tried to use Jedi battle meditation on the advancing Massassi forces, but the Massassi mind was too primitive to be persuaded. The Massassi, under the control of the Sith, swarmed the planet Coruscant, but the Jedi soon realized that the majority of their army was illusional. The Jedi quickly dispatched the true Massassi and free the planet. Meanwhile, Sadow had defeated Kressh in an epic interstellar war in the Sith Empire, but his forces were unable to defend themselves against the might of Empress Teta’s forces. As his commanders began to surrender, Sadow used the Dark Side of the Force to communicate with his Massassi spies. They executed Sadow’s enemies and took control of their ships, drawing Teta’s forces into the Denarii Nova. There, Sadow’s forces were eradicated, along with many of Teta’s ships, but ultimately the Old Republic was able to eliminate the Sith threat. Sadow was forced to flee, and later established his own base on Yavin 4.
 
Great Sith War, The
A battle in which Exar Kun rallied his Brotherhood of the Sith against the Jedi Knights. The Jedi won the battle, but at a great cost. They had to unite as a single force, and wipe out much of the jungle on Yavin 4 in order to destroy Kun's body. Kun, however, managed to escape to the spiritual plane by draining the life-energy from the enslaved Massassi.

Jensaarai
This was the name used by the Force-weilding population of Suarbi 7/5. They were trained as Jedi, and even taught how to create their own lightsabers, but were taught that Obi-Wan Kenobi was one of the greatest users of the Dark Side of the Force. There are three ranks of Jensaarai: Apprentices, Defenders, and Saarai-kaar. When they became Defenders, the Jensaarai created a unique form of personal armor created from cortosis ore and modeled to make them appear to be a vicious creature. Of the Saarai-kaar, there was only one member of that rank at any one point in time. When Leonia Tavira suddenly landed on the moon and executed its Imperial governor, thereby "freeing" them from Imperial control, the Jensaarai quickly grew to trust her. She betrayed that trust, and twisted them into a position in which the only way they could protect their people was to serve as her personal warriors. They were forced to accede, and joined her aboard the Invidious. She also told them that there was a being named Halcyon who would be their undoing, so she forced them to kidnap Mirax Terrik in order to draw Corran Horn to Suarbi 7/5. When they all met in battle, Luke Skywalker made quick work of the Jensaarai while Corran battled the Saarai-kaar. He did not kill them, though, a fact which surprised most of them when they came around after the battle. It was later revealed that the word Jensaarai is a Sith term that means "hidden followers of truth." The last of the true Jensaarai Sith magicians died with Nikkos Tyris, but the new Saarai-kaar continued to train her young son and the other survivors in the ways of the Force. In a strange twist of fate, she taught them that the Jedi Knights were evil, but she also taught them the use of the light side of the Force, since she lacked the ability and education to comprehend the Sith teachings. Thus, when Emperor Palpatine's Jedi purge sent Darth Vader to Suarbi 7/5, Vader killed the Saarai-kaar's son because he felt only the light side emanating from him. When Luke and Corran defeated the Jensaarai and Leonia Tavira, the Saarai-kaar understood what had happened, and agreed that the Jedi weren't any more evil than the Jensaarai. She agreed to consider sending a delegation of her followers to Yavin 4 for formal training under Luke.

Lanvarok
This weapon was used by the ancient Sith warriors. It was extermely complicated to use, and favors those users who are left-handed.

Lightwhip
A Dark Jedi weapon created by Lumiya as the final step in her training under Darth Vader. She created it from information found in an ancient Sith tome.
Korriban
This remote planet was the seat of the ancient Sith race. Located across the galaxy from Cinnagar and Koros Minor, it was unknown to the Old Republic before the rise of Naga Sadow. It was to Korriban that the ancient Dark Jedi fled, after they were exiled by the Jedi Knights. Korriban was a desolate world which, under the pall of Sith magic, became more hellish and dangerous. The native life there was twisted by the Dark Side, and the ghosts of Sith Dark Lords roamed everywhere. The Sith Lords erected huge palaces and burial complexes, which honored not only the dead Lords but the current magicians as well. Exar Kun was led here by Freedon Nadd's spirit, in an effort to recover certain Sith manuscripts. The Emperor Palpatine often visited Korriban, to help him center himself in the Dark Side of the Force.

Krath
A society of Tetan Elite led by Satal Keto and Aleema, it was based on the Dark Side teachings of the Sith.

Mandalorian Iron
A metal that is virtually indestructible, even to a lightsaber blade. Jedi Master Arca hid Freedon Nadd's Sith artifacts in a storehouse built from Mandalorian Iron in an effort to seal it forever, but Exar Kun used the Dark Side of The Force to penetrate it.

Massassi
The former natives of Yavin 4, they had smooth, grayish-green skin and large, lantern-like eyes. They were extremely primitive in nature, timid and weak, when Exar Kun came to Yavin 4 to seek out a Sith power object. It is rumored that the Massassi are savage, Dark Side creatures descended from the Sith themselves. They were the offspring of Naga Sadow's alchemical magic. They were also red-skinned humanoids. However, Kun later enslaved them, and made them build the temples that dotted the forest, as focusers of the power of the Force. They were exterminated when Kun, in an effort to defeat the Jedi Knights, consumed their spirits in order to trap his own spirit in the Obsidian Temple during the Great Sith War. Their bodies were destroyed by the Jedi Knights who tried to defeat Kun.

Naddists
The followers of Freedon Nadd's teachings based on the planet Onderon. They feel that Nadd was their savior, and that he gave them the strength to drive out the wild natives and beasts, which allowed them to settle the city of Iziz. Their belief in Nadd leads them to believe that the Jedi Knights are the cause of all their problems, since it was the Jedi who were called in to bring Nadd down and recover the Sith artifacts.

Night Beast
A huge, humanoid creature left behind by the Massassi to keep Yavin 4 safe until they could return. It is depicted in The Sith War as a huge, red-skinned humanoid with skied scales and horns, while Classic Star Wars depicts it as a large, fish-like humanoid with sharp claws and fangs. Classic Star Wars holds that the ancient Massassi created the besat to guard the temples against an enemy takeover, but The Sith War simply showed Exar Kun and the Massassi placing in the depths of the Great Temple as a guardian. It was held in suspended animation until Admiral Griff launched his atack on the Alliance base on Yavin 4. A TIE Bomber crashed on moon, penetrating the Great Temple's lower levels and cracking the beast's suspended animation capsule open. It then began to roam the tunnels of the temple, destroying Alliance equipment in what it believed was the fulfilment of its purpose. It had some use of the Force, and used it to shield itself from energy weapons. When Luke Skywalker discovered the creature, he and R2-D2 were able to drive it away by using the Force to lure the beast into a space transport. They had programmed the transport for auto-jump, and once the night beast was inside, they initiated the launch sequence. The beast was sent into hyperspace. One of the random jumps performed by the transport brought the beast back to Alliance space. This time, through the Force, Luke explained that the beast would eventually find its former masters by getting onto the transport.

Obsidian Temple
Located on Yavin's fourth moon, it was the site of a huge, obsidian temple shaped like a huge split pyramid. The temple was shaped this way to help concentrate the Force and enhance the Sith rituals that took place inside. Atop the split pyramid is an obsidian statue of Exar Kun.

Onderon
This planet is the primary planet in the Onderon system of three planets. It has a temperate climate, and was home to a primitive race of humanoids. It has four moons. The primary moon, Dxun, orbitted very close to the planet millenia ago, and the various Dxun beasts jumped to the planet. The Onderonians struggled against the beasts, eventually gathering new technologies and building a huge walled city to protect themselves from the beasts. The Onderonians then threw their criminal out into the wilderness without any protection from the beasts. The outcasts soon learned to defend themselves, and a second civilization grew out of the outcasts. They two groups remained at war with each other for many years, and the Old Republic asked the Jedi to watch over the world. When Master Arca took over its watch and assigned Ulic Qel-Droma to the planet, the war was ended when the Onderonian princess Galia married the Beastprince. Onderon was also the planet on which Freedon Nadd tried to set up his Sith Kingdom. Like many other fringe worlds, the Onderonians have a distrust of aliens.
 
Ossus
The third planet in the Adega system, Ossus was home to the site of an ancient Jedi stronghold and training center thousands of years before the Freedon Nadd Uprisings and the Great Sith War. Following the Freedon Nadd Uprisings on Onderon, Jedi Master Arca planned to send the ancient Sith artifacts recovered from Freedon Nadd's ship there for examination, but Exar Kun was able to retrieve them first. In the chaos surrounding the Great Sith War, Aleema and Crado destroyed the Cron System, located near the Adega System. Ossus was caught in the wave of destruction radiating from the supernova. The Jedi attempted to transport the artifacts and lore from the libraries there, but were only able to take a fraction of the wealth stored there over the millennia. In an attempt to preserve a cache of lightsabers, Master Ood Bnar initiated his lifecycle change, becoming a gnarled old tree with the lightsabers engtangled in his roots. He was nearly destroyed by the radiation from the Cron System. Over the ages, great cities grew out of the planet's rough, irradiated terrain. In modern times, the planet was nearly wiped out during the Clone Wars. The enemies of the Jedi Knights struck there, attempting to destroy the stronghold and root out the Jedi. Although the planet was devastated, the Jedi survived. Later, following the death of Emperor Palpatine's first clone on Byss, Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar discover the planet's ancient Jedi connection, and are directed there by Master Vodo's holocron just before Sedriss executed Operation Shadow Hand. There find the Ysanna tribe and the ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar. The planet's atmosphere is laced with electrical storms, probably resulting from the near-devastation it suffered during the Clone Wars. It orbits the Adegan stars in a figure-eight orbit.

Rhelg
This planet was part of the ancient Sith Empire, and was the site of Ludo Kressh’s private retreat.

Saarai-kaar
This was the highest rank any of the Jensaarai Force users could achieve. At any point in time, there could only be one Saarai-kaar among the Jensarai, much the same as there was only one Dark Lord of the Sith. Like the other Jensaarai, the Saarai-kaar wore cortosis-covered armor. Nikkos Tyris was one of the most powerful of the Saarai-kaar, until he was defeated by Nejaa Halcyon. When Leonia Tavira twisted the Jensaarai to her uses, she made them believe that a Halcyon would be their undoing unless they served her. How she discovered Corran Horn's true identity is a mystery, but she kidnapped Mirax Terrik and made the Jensaarai hold her on Suarbi 7/5 in order to draw Corran into her trap. The Saarai-kaar believed the charade whole-hearted, especially after Tavira shot the former Imperial governor and claimed to be liberating the natives of Suarbi 7/5 from Imperial control. When Corran and Luke Skywalker assaulted suarbi 7/5 in an effort to free Mirax, they came up against Tavira, the Saarai-karr and the combined might of the Jensaarai. Luke took care of the warriors while Corran battle their female leader. She nearly had him, until he recognized the fighting style she used from his vision of Halcyon's death, and implanted an image of Tyris in her mind. Her momentary lapse in concentration dropped her defenses, and Mirax stunned her with several blasters from her own weapon. When she awoke later on, she accused Luke and Corran of prolonging her death, but Elegos A'kla used his memnii of her husband's and Nikkos Tyris' deaths to try and convince her of the truth in their words. She chose not to believe, revealing that the Jensaarai were descended from Force users who had learned of Sith magics, but their number died with Tyris. The new Saarai-kaar continued to believe the Jedi were wrong, but actually trained her disciples with the light side of the Force. The word Saarai-kaar is a Sith term meaning "keeper of the truth." When Emperor Palpatine began his Jedi purge, his discovery of Force users on Suarbi 7/5 led him to send Darth Vader there. Rather than accept the allegiance of the new Saarai-kaar's son, Vader killed him as a Jedi, since he lacked the Sith magic.

Sith Infiltrator
One of Sienar Advanced Projects Laboratories’ prototype designs, this ship was eventually modified for use by Darth Maul. Originally designed as a courier ship, the 26.5-meter-long Infiltrator was given advanced weaponry, propulsion systems, and a full-effect stygium-based cloaking device for invisibility on command. The sublight engines were X-C 2 ion arrays, while the hyperdrive was an SSDS 11-A powerplant. Weapons included six prototype laser cannons. The craft had a long, main fuselage to which was attached the ball-shaped control center aft. The wings of the craft were used to radiator the intense heat of its engines, and could be folded down during landings. The designs of the control center and the wings were later incorporated into the TIE Advanced prototype produced for Darth Vader.

Sith Sanctuaries
No Sith construction is ever based on another in any way. The Sith consider each structure a work of art, an extension of the personality of the builder. It has therefore proven futile for Jedi to map Sith installations, and any raids on Sith libraries, palaces or temples requires much tactical planning and conjecture. It comes close to insanity if you wish to conquer the knowledge of the Sith and wish to remain neutral or in the same way as you were before this task.

Sith Speeder
This was a specialized, circular, one-man speeder developed for use by Darth Maul. Designed to be compact and fast, this speeder resembled a circle with the upper arc removed. The rider sat in the concave section of the speeder, and had hand and foot controls with which to maneuver the speeder. This speeder was unarmed, something that was not a deficit for its rider due to their skills in the Dark Side of the Force. This speeder was also easily stored in the forward section of Maul’s Infiltrator starship.

Swords of the Sith
These alchemically reinforced blades are virtually indestructible, and can parry a blow from anything including a Jedi lightsaber. Such weapons may survive thousands of years, with their blades still sharp and straight.

Valley of the Dark Lords, The
This valley, located on the planet Korriban, is the site of the tombs of the ancient Dark Lords of the Sith. It was dominated by huge funereal temples and tombs, with an ornate altar at the far end.

Sith Talismans: (Prepared by Limbonik, Darksider Historian.)

Concentration:
Which enables the wearer to focus during the long rites necessary to be able to channel large amounts of Dark Side power. Jedi are also able to use these talismans to boost their concentration, aiding them in their long struggle with the Sith. The Sith realized this and developed..

Talisman of Ensnarement:
This talisman operates in much the same way as one of concentration, especially to the Dark Side user. However, in the hands of a Light Jedi, it will gradually entrap the user into the Dark Side. Only the most powerful of Masters could use these Talisman’s without danger, leading to their widespread destruction, along with almost all the concentration talisman’s (which they greatly resembled), during the Fall of the Sith Empire, and later, at the end of the Sith War.

Healing:
A fairly self explanatory entry, with one difference - unlike Jedi healing, the recipient feels great pain as his wounds are healed. Use one at your peril.

Force Mask:
These are very rare indeed. When worn by a Sith Sorcerer, these send out anti-Force-ripples (much like a Ysalamari, but more portable). This disguises the natural aura of a Sith Adept, making him virtually undetectable for Jedi using his natural emanations to track him.

Shield:
Another fairly explanatory object. This talisman protects the wearer from anything energy based (blasters etc.), and from Force attacks. Somewhat risky research suggests the talisman does this by taking the energy from the attack and using it as its own source of fuel. In order or remain viable however, the talisman requires an infusion of energy at least once per standard week. (It has been suggested that these Talisman’s have a certain vulnerability to lightsabers however)

Translation:
The tomes containing Sith lore and technique are written in their ancient language, which is virtually extinct since the fall of their empire. This talisman, created by a fallen Jedi, allows the wearer to read and speak the Sith tongue as if it were his native language.

Lords of Sith: (Prepared by Limbonik, Darksider Historian.)

Here you will review several replicas from ancient documents, found through holocrons and other lore from the remaining facilities of the Great Jedi Library on Ossus or datacards that were gathered through the search of Skywalker and his new Jedi Order.

The old, ancient Lords of Sith were magicians, alchemists who used the powers of the Dark Side of the Force to create their rulership over the Sith Empire - and later the galaxy about 5,000 - 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The New Era of Sith was founded by failed Jedi who wished to explore the Dark Side of the Force for their own advance. With about 50 members, this group was hunted down through the Jedi Order nearly 2,000 - 1,000 years before the Dark Times. The last Order was formed by Darth Bane, who was the last remaining Dark Lord of the Sith as the Jedi eradicated the last remaining Sith in the galaxy about 1,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. However, you can only see information about the first and third Order of the Sith. The information about the second Order remains hidden from our sources, but it might only take little time until we discover it - be warned, young apprentice.

The Ancient Sith Empire

Marka Ragnos

This ancient Dark Lord of the Sith ruled the galaxy with an iron fist some 5,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Ragnos controlled the Sith Empire for more than a century before he finally died. Funeral preparations were underway when the Daragon siblings happened upon Korriban, and interrupted the burial ceremony. Ragnos was buried with his predecessors in the Valley of the Dark Lords, with numerous living slaves entombed to assist him in the afterlife. His death led to a great uprising among the two major Sith factions, as each of them tried to promote their candidate to the vacant position of Dark Lord. Both Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow believed that they were the next Dark Lord, and came to blows shortly after Ragnos’ burial. Ragnos spirit - angered by the proceedings - returned from the dead to counsel them about choosing their battles wisely. Ragnos’ spirit foresaw that their battle would bring about the end of the golden age of the Sith magicians.

Xendor

Xendor was a Kashi Mer Jedi around the time of the Great Schism, and was also believed to be the first Dark Jedi. He used the Dark Side of the Force to reinforce his Teräs Käsi techniques in combat, causing him to be exiled by the Jedi Order. After being banished, he gathered a large following of other Dark Jedi, known as the Minions of Xendor.

Xendor was believed killed by the Jedi Order, but his successors later conquered the Sith becoming the Sith Lords. As the first Dark Jedi, Xendor is the predecessor of the Dark Lords of the Sith, and is sometimes counted as the first. Since the Sith Empire was formed in 6,900 BBY (18,000 standard years after his death), he was never a Sith Lord. However, he played a fundamental role in the formation of the Sith Order.

Simus

This ancient Sith Lord was one of the most powerful of his era. He trained the Sith magician Naga Sadow while in his prime. However, he was defeated in battle by Marka Ragnos and fated to die. Simus had other plans, and used the Dark Side magic of the Sith to preserve himself. His head was encased in a specialized, crystalline container, and he existed this way for another century before Ragnos died. When Ludo Kressh and Sadow began fighting over the rulership of the Sith Empire, it was Simus who urged Kressh to consider the possibility that Jori and Gav Daragon were truly hyperspace mappers, and not advanced scouts for the Old Republic. When Kressh refused, Simus gave his support to his former student, Naga Sadow. This trust proved to be short-lived, for Sadow had Simus killed as part of the deception surrounding his plans to become the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Naga Sadow

An ancient Sith magician who practiced a thousand years before the Freedon Nadd uprisings, Naga Sadow was one of the strongest Sith Lords at the time Marka Ragnos died. Trained by the old mage Simus, Sadow was an intense individual who wished to bring the Sith Empire to the forefront of the galaxy, a viewpoint not held by his contemporary, Ludo Kressh. Upon Ragnos’ death, Sadow chose not to attend the huge funeral. Rather, he plotted how he could obtain the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. At the close of the procession, Sadow confronted Kressh, and the two Sith Lords battled for the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. This clash of Sith energy brought Marka Ragnos’ spirit back from the dead, and the spirit warned both of them that conflict within the ranks of the Sith would further no one’s plans. With the appearance of Jori and Gav Daragon, Sadow discovered a way to further his own goals. Ludo Kressh believed them to scouts from the Old Republic’s advanced forces, so Sadow freed them and staged a rescue attempt in which many Sith warriors were killed. Sadow claimed it was Kressh’s inability to mobilize the Sith forces that caused the deaths, and claimed himself Dark Lord of the Sith in order to guide the Sith into battle. He then took the Daragons to his two fortresses and hid them, playing upon their emotions and their latent Force abilities to gain their confidence. He built up Gav’s strength, teaching him Sith magic while manipulating him into a position where he would obey any command. Sadow recovered the Starbreaker 12 and returned it to Jori, telling her that Gav had been killed and that Sadow could no loner protect her from the other Sith Lords. Her flight provided Sadow with all the hyperspace coordinates he needed to begin attacking the Old Republic. When Kressh finally mustered his own forces to attack Sadow, he attacked at Khar Delba. This expended much of his resources, while Sadow hid on Khar Shian. From there, he launched a massive counterattack, decimating Kressh’s forces and nearly killing the rival magician. Sadow then retired to Primus Goluud, where he entered a mediation sphere and launched his attacks on the Republic, augmenting his forces with illusory warriors and monsters. When Gav Daragon disabled the sphere, Sadow’s concentration was broken. The Jedi Knights and the Republic were able to see through the illusions, and eventually defeated the Sith forces. Sadow, under attack by the Republic’s fleet at Primus Goluud, chose to rip the star apart and destroy them all. Gav was able to provide the Republic fleet with an escape vector, saving them from the conflagration but dooming himself. Sadow limped back to the Sith Empire, where he was confronted by Ludo Kressh’s restored forces. In the opening acts of the Great Hyperspace War, Sadow used the Dark Side of the Force to coerce one of his starship captains to ram Kressh’s ship, destroying his chief rival and securing his position as Dark Lord. However, this left his forces vulnerable to Empress Teta’s fleet. In a last-ditch effort, Sadow drew Teta’s forces into the Denarri Nova in hopes of destroying them all, but the Nova flared up and destroyed much of Sadow’s fleet and part of the Tetan fleet. Sadow himself managed to survive, and fled to Yavin 4 to begin rebuilding his empire. Note that some references claim Naga Sadow was an insectile beast of pure Sith blood who learned how to give life to the dead. The ruling Dark Lord of the Sith did not appreciate Sadow's bold attempts, and sentenced him to die. Sadow took his knowledge and his followers and fled to the moon Yavin 4. He was eventually hunted down by the Old Republic, who branded him an outlaw and chased him to the Denarii System. There, Sadow used the powers of the Sith to rip the cores from the two Denarii stars and fling them at the pursuing fleet. The fleet was destroyed, and the stars exploded to form the Denarii Nebula. Sadow survived the encounter, but later passed into legends. He and his followers are now extinct, but their knowledge and powers remain behind on Yavin 4.

Ludo Kressh

This ancient Sith magician was Naga Sadow’s contemporary rival for the position of Dark Lord of the Sith. It was Kressh who was chosen to lead Marka Ragnos’ funeral procession. Kressh’s faction believed in maintaining the status quo within the Sith Empire, rather than attempting to expand it, as Naga Sadow thought. Their opposing viewpoints led to a skirmish at Ragnos’ funeral. The ghost of Markos Ragnos foretold of the impending downfall of the Sith Empire, should the two continue to struggle. Neither heeded the former Dark Lord’s words, and a civil war erupted within the Sith Empire. Ludo Kressh believed that Jori and Gav Daragon were advanced scouts for an Old Republic war force coming to eradicate the Sith, a position which gathers some support among the Sith lords. As Sadow took control of the Empire, Kressh rallied his supporters in an attempt to overthrow Sadow. They fled to Ziost to plan their attack. A timely discovery of the treachery with which Sadow took control of the Empire led to further support, until Kressh was ready to launch an attack on Sadow’s base on Khar Delba. However, Naga Sadow’s real base of power was on Khar Shian, and Ludo Kressh’s forces were drawn into a battle against an undefeatable foe. Kressh was believed to have been killed over Khar Delba, where Naga Sadow’s fleet destroyed Kressh’s forces. However, he managed to survive, and returned to the Sith Empire to take over as Dark Lord. Sadow would have none of this, and began his own assault on Coruscant. The inner strife between the rivals grew until it erupted into the Great Hyperspace War. Kressh and Sadow drew their starfleets into the Sith Empire and fought valiantly against each other. In the end, though, Sadow was able to use the Dark Side of the Force to coerce one of his own starship captains to ram Kressh’s flagship, destroying the ship and killing Kressh in the explosion.

Freedon Nadd

A Jedi Knight who succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force and took up the teaching of the Sith. He became proficient in the use of the Dark Side Sith magic, but could progress no further than apprentice, since the reigning Dark Lord was still young (by Dark Side standards) and the Sith had declared that only one Dark Lord could rule at any time. This frustrated Freedon Nadd to the point that he rebelled against this basic Sith tenet and, desiring his own Lordship, he took a wealth of Sith artifacts with him from Korriban to Onderon. On Onderon, he began to teach the Sith lore to the Onderonians at Iziz, and he used his Sith knowledge to help the Onderonians repel the Beast Masters time and again. (This has been passed down by the Naddists in the form of a truism that Freedon defeated "the wild beasts and aborigines" of Onderon.) As his power grew, the Jedi Knights learned of his atrocities on the planet, and sent a task force out to bring his reign to an end. There was a pitched battle, and eventually Freedon Nadd was defeated. However, his Sith teachings had been accepted by the Onderonians, and Nadd's bloodlines were extended during his stay, so the power of the Dark Side has never left Onderon. Nadd himself managed to preserve his spirit, locked away with the Sith artifacts he worked to obtain. His spirit was released when Exar Kun discovered Nadd's tomb, and Nadd's spirit led Kun to Yavin 4. There, Nadd tried to use Kun as a way to progress further down the dark path. However, when Kun became the wearer of the Sith amulets hidden on the moon, Nadd's spirit was obliterated by Kun's rage.


Exar Kun

A Jedi student of Vodo-Siosk Baas on Dantooine, Exar Kun used Vodo's holocron to learn about the ancient Sith. Exar Kun didn't like the fact that Vodo, not to mention his fellow students Crado and Sylvar, were not human, and he continually goaded them. He nearly killed Sylvar during a lightsaber training exercise, and she clawed him on the right cheek. Vodo stopped the duel before someone was killed, and challenged Kun to a duel between Kun's skill with a lightsaber and Vodo's skill with a walking stick. Vodo nearly defeated Kun, but Kun snatched another lightsaber and attacked his Master. Vodo's stick was broken, and Kun's rage passed as he felt he was victorious. Exar Kun then left Dantooine to try and obtain the Sith artifacts that had been found on Onderon. He entered the tomb of Freedon Nadd and was controlled by Nadd's evil spirit. Nadd led Kun to Korriban, where Kun discovered a pair of Sith scrolls that tantalizingly led him further down the path to the Dark Side. Kun tried to resist, but Nadd nearly killed him before offering assistance. However, the assistance required Kun to give himself to the Dark Side. Kun chose to live, and was drawn into the Dark Side's power. Then, Nadd directed Kun to go to Yavin 4, where he should complete the work of Naga Sadow. On Yavin 4, Kun again tried to renounce Nadd's teachings, and was captured by the Massassi. They tried to sacrifice Kun in a blood ceremony, during which Nadd's spirit goaded him down the Dark path. Exar Kun called out to the Dark Side in anger, and a Sith amulet was drawn to his power. It fused to his arm, and he was suddenly endowed with the power of the Sith. He took control of the Massassi, and exterminated Nadd's spirit. As the months went by, Exar Kun found Naga Sadow's works and began to gain more and more Sith power. Once he felt that he was powerful enough, he went to the Empress Teta System to defeat Aleema and Satal Keto and claim his position as Sith lord. When he arrived, Keto had already been killed by Ulic Qel-Droma, so Kun tried to defeat him in battle. The ancient Sith masters were drawn to the pair's incredible Dark Side power, and halted the battle. They named Kun the Dark Lord of the Sith, and Qel-Droma his Apprentice. They went into hiding, and continued to gain power. Kun was able to lure several young Jedi Knights to his cause, including Oss Willum and Crado. On Yavin 4, Kun showed them the Sith holocron, which he destroyed in a display of power. The shards exploded outward, piercing the young Jedi and possessing them with Sith demons. When the time was right, they exploded into the galaxy as Sith warriors. Kun ordered his young disciples to exterminate their Jedi Masters in a fiendish pogrom. Thus, the Great Sith War was started. Kun and Qel-Droma's forces killed millions in their rampages. When Qel-Droma was captured and put to trial on Coruscant, Kun and Mandalore arrived to retrieve him. In a show of power, Kun put the entire court into suspended animation, killing the Old Republic's highest official and eventually murdering Master Vodo. Kun later raided Ossus, in an attempt to steal the ancient Jedi and Sith lore stored there. This effort was cut short when Aleema destroyed the Cron System, and Kun was forced to flee back to Yavin 4 to regain his strength. The war would have continued, but the end of the war was quickened when Qel-Droma was captured on Ossus by Master Thon. He was cut off from the Force by Nomi Sunrider, and betrayed Kun by providing the location of Kun's power - the temples on Yavin 4 - to the Jedi. The Jedi then met Exar Kun on the jungle moon, where Kun drew on the Massassi spirits in an effort to gain strength and make a last stand against the Jedi. Exar Kun was defeated by the Jedi, but only his body was destroyed. Kun consumed the Massassi in an effort to lock his spirit away in the temples on Yavin 4, where it remained until Luke Skywalker started training his new Jedi Knights there more than 4000 years later. Kun tried to control the emerging Jedi Knights, but his hold was tenuous. His first attempt at controlling one of them led to the death of Gantoris. Kyp Durron was his second attempt, but Kyp used Kun's power in an attempt to destroy the Empire. In a final battle with Luke's Jedi students, Kun was defeated by the combined strength of all the students. At his final death, Kun's former teacher Vodo Siosk-Baas appeared to claim him. Several months later, after escaping from Leonia Tavira and the Jensaarai, Luke Skywalker allowed Corran Horn to destroy Kun's statue and temple with a series of proton torpedoes, utterly wiping out the primary source of dark side energy on the moon.

Ulic Qel-Droma

An ancient Jedi Knight, Ulic was very powerful in the use of The Force. He was born on Alderaan, and raised in a family of great warriors. Along with his brother, Cay, they were apprenticed to the Jedi Master Arca on Arkadia. When they had completed their training, Arca sent them - along with fellow student Tott Doneeta - to Onderon to help put an end to the fighting between the city dwellers and the beastmasters. When they tried to defend the city dwellers in Iziz, they discovered the Dark Side energies flowing there. They also discovered that the dwellers of Iziz were the real enemy, and strove to defeat Queen Amanoa. They eventually overcame the Dark Side threat, and later found the tomb of Freedon Nadd. They tried to rid the planet of Nadd's influence, but Arca was captured by the hidden King Ommin. Ulic sent for more Jedi and help from the Old Republic, and their combined forces were able to defeat Ommin and recover Arca. The Jedi then helped Iziz rebuild itself, during which time Ulic fell in love with Nomi Sunrider. When they were cleaning up the Dark Side artifacts, the spirit of Freedon Nadd reappeared and told Ulic he would become one of the greatest Sith Lords. Ulic and Nomi were assigned to assist in the retaking of the Empress Teta System from the Krath, who had declared war on the Jedi. Ulic proposed that he should join the Krath and attempt to defeat it from the inside. He made himself heard at the Great Council on Deneba. However, the Jedi Masters feared that Ulic would be drawn into the Dark Side, but during their discussions the Krath attacked. He fought bravely, only to see Master Arca killed while he was distracted. This hardened his resolve to eradicate the Krath, and he set out to discover the Dark Side of the Force first-hand. He hoped that by becoming a Dark Side follower, he could find its weaknesses and use it against the Krath. He was seduced by Aleema, and his despair at Arca's death only made him an easier target for the Dark Side and the Sith magic. His brother, Cay, and Nomi Sunrider went to Cinnagar to return Ulic to the Light Side, but their combined love for Ulic could not sway him from the Dark Side. At this time, Exar Kun intervened and severely injured Aleema while trying to overcome Ulic and recover a Sith amulet. Their combined fury released an ancient Sith spirit, who claimed both of them for the Dark Side. Exar Kun was named Dark Lord of the Sith while Ulic was named his apprentice. He became caught up in Exar Kun's plans and became a Dark Jedi himself. He joined forces with the ancient Mandalorian warriors after defeating their leader, and conquered star system after star system with the power of the Dark Side. He was captured by the Jedi and brought to trial on Coruscant, but was freed by the intervention on Exar Kun and the Mandalorians. They then travelled to Ossus, in an attempt to take possession of the Jedi and Sith knowledge stored there. Ulic was again captured by the Jedi, this time by his brother, Cay, who challenged him to a duel. In his Dark Side fury, Ulic cut down his brother in a bloody battle. Some part of the Light Side still remained, and Ulic was brought ot his knees by the import of what he had done. Nomi Sunrider, enraged by Ulic's actions, used the Force in anger and cut Ulic off from the Force. Thus weakened, Ulic felt no more need to support Exar Kun and the Sith. In the end, Ulic led the Jedi to Yavin 4, where they were able to defeat Kun and quell the Sith uprising.

The New Era of the Order of Sith (The Reformed Order)

Darth Bane

This ancient Sith Lord was the last of his kind to survive the catastrophic struggle that consumed his order, some 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Recognizing that the Sith order was doomed to fail if it became too large, Bane waited until all the other Sith were destroyed by their brethren or the Jedi Knights, then established a set of rules that were dominated by the pretense that there could only be two Sith active in the galaxy at any time: a Master and an apprentice. Eventually, Bane took his own apprentice, and set his new order in motion. Future Sith Lords were taught the virtues of patience, planning, and secrecy.


Darth Plagueis

Darth Plagueis, sometimes known as Darth Plagueis the Wise, was a Dark Lord of the Sith, heir to the lineage of Darth Bane, who lived during the century leading up to the Battle of Naboo.

It was Plagueis who trained Darth Sidious in the ways of the Sith.

For all the influence he had on galactic events, very little is known about Darth Plagueis. Only his apprentice, Sidious, has said anything, and that amounted to very little. In any case, little of what Sidious said can be taken at face value. Fortunately, more objective sources have begun to shed slightly more light on the biography of this shadowy figure.

The birth name and early life of this man remains a complete mystery. What can be surmised is that at some point, he was found to be very strong in the Force by an existing Sith Lord, who at the appropriate time placed him on bended knee and took him as an apprentice, declaring that from that point onward, he would be known as Darth Plagueis.

Eventually, Plagueis became a master in his turn and sought an apprentice of his own to carry on the Sith tradition. Though the exact chain of events is unknown, it is clear that a gifted young man from Naboo named Palpatine caught his eye. Seeing his potential, Plagueis took him on as his apprentice, naming him "Darth Sidious". It is possible that Plagueis found in Sidious what the Sith Lords had long awaited, a Sith born with the power to finally implement the final stages of Darth Bane's thousand-year-old plan, and bring the revenge of the Sith to fruition.

At this point, there is no way of knowing exactly how long Sidious' apprenticeship under Plagueis lasted. It is clear that he learned much from his master. As Palpatine later claimed that his mentor (not naming him as Plagueis) taught him all about the Force, including the dark side, the possibility exists that Plagueis knew—and therefore taught Sidious—as much of the light, Jedi disciplines, as well as the dark, the ways of the Sith, as this would have been very useful knowledge in their plans to destroy the Jedi Order from within. Sidious possibly became more powerful than Plagueis. But he was also more ambitious than Plagueis anticipated, and there are strong indications that there were frictions between the two Sith Lords.

For instance, it has long been assumed that Sidious awaited the death of his master before taking on an apprentice of his own, but it has been recently discovered that Sidious raised and trained the infant Darth Maul without Plagueis' knowledge. There could be little reason for Sidious caring what Plagueis knew or did not know, unless he was doing this behind his master's back, possibly preparing a secret apprentice in anticipation of his own eventual ascension to mastery. This also indicates that Plagueis was still alive as of 60–50 BBY, since Maul was born in 54 BBY. In fact, he may have lived even longer than this.

Beyond simple ambition on Sidious' part, it is not specified what the source of this intrigue was, but it is strongly implied that a particular arcane discipline of Plagueis' drove a wedge between master and apprentice, leading eventually to that master's death.

Lord Plagueis, obsessed with the possibilities of spontaneous generation and immortality, was a practitioner of some of the deepest, darkest secrets of the Force. It is these secrets that have stirred the greatest controversy about Plagueis, for they are crucially connected with the central enigma about another young man destined to become a Sith, Anakin Skywalker.

Palpatine eventually told Skywalker that Plagueis' apprentice (not naming himself as such) killed Plagueis in his sleep. Though it is difficult to determine how much of what he said about Plagueis was real and how much was fabricated, there seems no reason for him to have lied about what would be, for Skywalker, an irrelevant point. The murder implement itself is unknown, though it likely would have been his lightsaber. It is also worth noting that, as cold and ruthless as he was, Sidious looked back on this moment of triumph, of his attainment of mastery at the cheap price of his outdated master, with a self-satisfied smile. Later, Palpatine would reflect to himself that his master had been foolish enough to sleep, something he knew never to do.

Plagueis' apprentice Darth Sidious went on to become the Sith destined to take the final steps, to walk among the Jedi unseen, to bring about their destruction and the fall of the Republic they served.

Palpatine later related the so-called Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise to Anakin Skywalker, luring him to the dark side with the possibility that he could learn Plagueis' secret of saving beings from death. Skywalker, plagued by disturbing visions of the death of his wife, was soon corrupted. As Skywalker swore allegiance to him, Sidious declared that together they could rediscover Plagueis' lost secret.

Darth Sidious

Darth Sidious, the name under which Palpatine became the architect of the Galactic Empire to come, was more than just a name granted him according to an ancient tradition, more than just a face hidden by a black zeyd-cloth hood and cowl. As was the case with many Sith, this alias became his true identity. The face of his birth became his mask, under which his real face concealed itself. But the events that led from what is presumed to be a normal age of innocence to the rise of a committed agent of darkness are unknown and, perhaps, unknowable.

Palpatine was Force-sensitive, exceedingly so, but for reasons unknown, the Jedi never learned of this. And since nothing is known of his parents, there is no telling if he came from a Force-sensitive bloodline, or if his abilities simply manifested themselves spontaneously, as was sometimes the case. Whatever the true reason was, they missed him when they had the best chance to save themselves. Instead, through a course of events historians have yet to learn, this gifted and ambitious young man was discovered by the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis.

Plagueis may have somehow found out about Palpatine's great potential and tracked him down, possibly when Palpatine was only a child; or Palpatine could have developed an interest in the dark side of the Force on his own and started actively searching out information about the Sith, which led him to catch Plagueis' attention. If the latter is the case, Palpatine might have had a brief life outside of the Sith before being caught up in the cult, and there might have been a point wherein the young man’s talents could have been put to noble ends.

The point that marked Palpatine's fall to the dark side, regrettably, is one of the many facts lost to history. Whatever the cause of his fall, Darth Plagueis found him suitable and at last inducted him into the cult, declaring him to be one with the Sith Order. According to Sith tradition, Dark Lords gave a new name to their apprentices.

The forename Darth was used, the last name determined by a kind of consultation with the dark side of the Force itself. Whatever inspired Plagueis in that communion is unknown, but the name he chose would endure through history; henceforth, Palpatine would be known, now and forevermore, as Darth Sidious.

Under Plagueis' apprenticeship, the newly-minted Sidious began to gain an insiders' knowledge of the Sith and how they worked. It was here that he learned the history of the cult, of how there had once been many Sith Lords until internecine warfare, as surely as Jedi intervention, had brought them down.

He learned of the rise of Darth Bane, who had brought the cult back from near-extinction and had formulated the diktat that had established the framework of the Sith ever since: that there would only be two Sith Lords at any one time -a master and an apprentice.

What is known about Sith methods of training is that they were brutal and uncompromising. Apprentices were broken down and remade in whatever image suited the master's desires. And this was done frankly and openly. Plagueis himself told Sidious what was expected of him:

"Tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know how best to undermine you; tell me of your greatest fear, so I will know which I must force you to face; tell me what you cherish most, so I will know what to take from you; and tell me what you crave, so that I might deny you..." 
- Darth Plagueis

It would seem that Plagueis did exactly what he promised. Sidious was undermined, denied, forced to lose what he most cherished and face what he most feared. Then, the vessel emptied, he was filled again, this time with a new creed, the path of the dark side of the Force, the path that would lead from power over the self to power over all:

"You must begin by gaining power over yourself; then another; then a group, an order, a world, a species, a group of species... finally, the Galaxy itself." 
- Darth Plagueis

All this was to be learned in anticipation of the ultimate revenge of the Sith. Apart from Plagueis, Sidious alone knew what this revenge would involve. It had been formulated in the far-off days of Lord Bane, based on his own very instructive experiences with the Sith of old. There would be no face-to-face confrontation this time. Instead, the Jedi and the Republic they served would die not from weapons, but from sickness. The Republic was destined to fall from its own corruption; the Sith would simply accelerate this process. They would facilitate war, murder, injustice and avarice, whenever and wherever possible, to demonstrate the failure of the so-called democratic system. A secret virus would be introduced into the Republic's body politic, and it would spread from one organ to another until it disrupted its vital systems. Once crippled, once divided, it would be simple to conquer. A public that had the deficiencies of rule by the weak clearly demonstrated to them would readily submit to rule by the strong.

Plagueis proved to be an excellent mentor. Over the years Sidious grew extremely strong in the Force, and his knowledge of the ways of the Sith became exceptional. But it seems to be the case that none of this was enough for Plagueis. The old master still sought a more powerful apprentice. He would have done better to be satisfied with what he had.

Plagueis was something of a mystic. Obsessed with spontaneous generation and immortality, he is said to have delved into forbidden teachings, and possessed—or was determined to possess—knowledge that could sustain those who were dying, or even return them from death. As far as Sidious was concerned, there was nothing alarming in this; both the Jedi and the Sith had sought ways to survive death for thousands of years, though not successfully. The most powerful of the ancient Sith Lords had supposedly known the secrets, but they had been lost or, rather, misplaced. It was expected that Plagueis should pursue this ultimate mystery.

The split between master and apprentice came when Plagueis also sought to take this research to its greatest extreme, to create new life from nothing. Whether he actually learned such powers, to defy death or create life, cannot be determined with absolute certainty, but at some point Plagueis began speaking to Sidious of an experiment he had conceived, to use arcane Sith disciplines to influence the midi-chlorians to draw life directly from the wellspring of the Force itself. The child that resulted from this experiment, Plagueis insisted, would potentially possess astounding power, would be the living embodiment of the Force itself.

Sidious understood that what Plagueis was discussing with him was nothing less than his own replacement, and he would suffer no challenger to his position as Sith master-to-be. Possibly he feigned excitement at Plagueis' inventiveness. But his mind was where it should have been for a Sith—on himself. A threat existed to his power, to all he was planning. How was he to deal with it? He could just kill the "experiment", but Plagueis would keep trying, and besides, if the child proved as powerful as expected, it would be wise to keep it available for his own use. In any case, Sidious was well along in his plans, had learned all there was to learn from Plagueis, already had his own secret apprentice. He was a master in all but name. The most superfluous being in this equation was Plagueis himself. The decision was made that simply. And that coldly.

Soon after, Sidious killed Plagueis in his sleep. There is no information as to the exact murder weapon, though it was likely a lightsaber, most likely Palpatine's own. There was also, apparently, none of the elaborate plotting involved in Sidious' later schemes. He simply waited until Plagueis had gone to sleep, then made certain he did not wake up. For all his cold ruthlessless, for decades he would look back on this moment of personal triumph, of his attainment of mastery at the cheap price of his own outdated master, with a self-satisfied smile. "It's ironic," he once remarked. "He could save others from death, but not himself."

Despite Plagueis's death though, the Force-conceived child was born. Whether the process was initiated by Plagueis or Sidious remains unknown, but in 42 BBY, on an unknown world, Shmi Skywalker gave birth to a child with a Force potential greater than any other in history. More than 20,000 midi-chlorians flowed in the boy's bloodstream—the apparent product of Plagueis' vision. Sidious kept a close watch on Anakin Skywalker, patiently waiting for the day he would take him as his apprentice.

Sidious had taught himself a powerful lesson. It was not unprecedented for Sith apprentices to kill their masters to gain the mastery themselves, but he had learned it intimately, through personal experience. He would keep a close eye on his own apprentices, and tell them only the barest minimum of information about his own master; the less they knew of Plagueis and his sudden demise, the fewer ideas they would get. True, they would eventually hunger for his position, but he would forever be on his guard. Plagueis made the mistake of sleeping; he never would.

Darth Maul

This Sith Dark Lord was the apprentice of Darth Sidious, the mysterious force behind the Trade Federation’s blockade of Naboo. Darth Maul was born as Khameir Sarin, a Zabrakian, on the planet of Iridonia. He showed great strength, power and a strong ability with the Force. When Darth Sidious was searching for a n apprentice, he discovered Sarin at the age of 12 living on his home planet Iridonia. Sidious began to train him in the ways and traditions of the ancient Sith. Sarin showed great progress and soon he was declared a Dark Lord of the Sith by his master. He took the alias Darth Maul and had his face tatooed in fearsome designs of red and black. The horns, that were trademark of his species, added greatly to his fearsome appearence. On the side, he also studied martial arts intensely so he could obtain his dream of becoming the best fighter in Sith history. As he improved his fighting skill he learned how to fight with a lightsaber after he made his own. He was a very close follower of Sith traditions but he also wanted more power. He soon built a deadly double-sided lightsaber and incorporated it into his mastered fighting skills. He soon learned to wield the double-saber with deadly accuracy and Darth Sidious was very proud of his apprentice. Maul was entirely loyal to his master, never hesitating to take on any mission assigned to him. That is why Sidious entrusted him with the mission of tracking down the runaway Queen Amidala. Maul’s lightsaber was actually two lightsabers fused together. Each had its own separate components, allowing him to use a single blade if the weapon became damaged. Darth Maul was obvious by his heavily tattooed, horn-studded face, piercing yellow eyes, and rotting teeth. Sidious dispatched Maul when he learned from the Neimoidians that two Jedi Knights had been dispatched to negotiate a settlement to the blockade. When the Jedi - Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi - fled with Queen Amidala to Tatooine, Darth Maul followed at a safe distance. He nearly defeated Qui-Gon, but was unable to control him before they fled for Coruscant. Not to be outdone, Sidious then sent Maul to capture them on Naboo. There, while Queen Amidala’s forces attempted to capture Nute Gunray, Darth Maul confronted both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon in the Theed palace’s power generation station. In a fierce battle, the three swordsman battled to a draw before they were separated by the station’s laser defense systems. When the defenses dropped, Maul and Qui-Gon were left alone to battle, and the Sith Lord defeated the Jedi with a quick jab of his blade. However, his victory was short-lived. When Obi-Wan was able to escape the laser system, he attacked with a renewed sense of purpose. His exuberence nearly cost him his life, when Darth Maul forced the young Jedi over the edge of a power shaft. Obi-Wan recovered and, using the Force to recover Qui-Gon’s lightsaber, caught Maul off-guard. The Jedi sliced his lightsaber through Maul’s midsection. The fatally injured Sith Lord toppled into the shaft and was lost forever.

Darth Tyrannus

Dooku was once an esteemed Jedi Master and apprentice to Yoda, and padawan learner to Thame Cerulian, but was tempted by the power of the dark side, and became apprentice to Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith, succeeding the late, previous apprentice, Darth Maul. His bronzium bust is displayed in the Jedi Archives, along with the rest of the Lost Twenty, the only Jedi Masters ever to resign their commission from the Jedi Order. An accomplished philosopher, orator, warrior, and Force-adept, he is regarded as one of the greatest Jedi in the order for his strength of character as much as his strength in the Force. With his deep voice and seductive charisma, this political idealist and wealthy aristocrat displays elegance, class, and intelligence. Dooku had been a practitioner of the Force for nearly eight decades, and he and his student, Qui-Gon Jinn, would have surely sat on the Jedi Council if it were not for their maverick views. In addition, Dooku is a master swordsman, specializing in the ancient, seldom-used and elegant Form II art, which makes use of his special curved saber hilt. Form II is known for its efficiency in lightsaber vs. lightsaber combat. Dooku chooses the style because of his beliefs in elegance and gallantry. This fighting style probably makes him able to defeat the skilled Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker.

Dooku leaves the order around the time of the Battle of Naboo and reclaims his family title as Count of Serenno. He is frustrated at the bureaucracy of the Galactic Senate and the unwillingness of the Jedi Council to step in and aid poor and oppressed Galactic systems. The disastrous Battle of Galidraan has already soured him towards continued service to the Republic and the death of Jinn, his favorite padawan, proves to be the final straw. Unhappy with the power of the Senate and the new Chancellor, he begins thinking on how to help the Jedi return to their true glory. Rumors suggest that he had secretly studied knowledge of the dark side, which is stored inside Sith Holocrons in the Jedi Archives. Controversially, Dooku holds that one could draw from both sides of the Force equally — light and dark — to achieve perfect balance. He believes that as long as he is not tempted to one side or another he could stay the course and harness the kind of power needed to change the galaxy for the better. It is ironic that the Chancellor would soon become his new master and mentor. Dooku communicates with his Sith master, Darth Sidious.It is unknown exactly how or when Dooku first comes into contact with Darth Sidious (Palpatine's Sith alias), the mysterious Dark Lord of the Sith (and the Master of the late Darth Maul, who slew Jinn), but Dooku falls to the dark side of the Force and becomes Sidious's second Sith apprentice, taking the Sith name Darth Tyranus. The two Sith Lords orchestrate the Clone Wars as part of a larger scheme to turn the Republic into the Galactic Empire. They plan to smash the Jedi Order and use its remnants as the basis for a new Sith Army.

The mysterious Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, who is a friend of Dooku's in the Jedi Order, contacts the master cloners on Kamino at the request of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and employs them to create a Clone Army for the Galactic Republic. Darth Sidious commands Tyranus to kill Sifo-Dyas, as proof of his loyalty. Dooku obeys, and took over the project. As Tyranus, Dooku then recruits the mercenary Jango Fett to become a template for the Grand Army of the Republic's clone troopers later to be used by Chancellor Palpatine and the Republic. In the video game Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, he tests Fett by having him defeat the Bando Gora and their Dark Jedi leader, Komari Vosa, his first Jedi apprentice.

Ten years later, the Machiavellian Count Dooku comes out of hiding, appearing on Raxus Prime and heavily criticizing the Republic and the Jedi Order for their decadence, hypocrisy, and corruption. Dooku, on the orders of political mastermind Darth Sidious, publicly calls for entire systems to secede from the Republic and join the Separatist movement, culminating in the formation of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The first meeting of the CIS is hosted on the planet Geonosis, where Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi is captured by the Geonosians and accused of espionage. Dooku cleverly claims that he has no power over the decision. Furthermore, with equal cunning, Dooku deflects suspicions of Chancellor Palpatine's plotting of all this by simply telling the truth to Obi-Wan about the conspiracy, ensuring that the hostile Jedi would never believe this allegation coming from him. There is also speculation that Dooku may in fact have been trying to acquire Obi-Wan as his own apprentice in a personal effort to wrestle power from Sidious, a common occurrence among the Sith.

Dooku almost let go of Separatist leader and aide to Passel Argente, Denaria Kee, but Passel threatens to resign if Denaria (who is secretly his lover) is dismissed. Shu Mai, President of the Commerce Guild, convinces Dooku that letting go of the Corporate Alliance leaders will cost the Separatists or the CIS leaders a considerable amount of power, so Dooku lets Denaria Kee stay on the CIS.

Later, when Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala arrive to rescue Obi-Wan, they are captured and are sentenced to be eaten alive by large beasts in a Colosseum-style arena while chained to large poles. However, the executions are interrupted by the sudden arrival of Jedi reinforcements, led by Jedi Master Mace Windu. Though the Jedi are overwhelmed by the new droid army of the CIS, they are soon rescued by Jedi Master Yoda, who leads the very Clone Army Dooku helped create, forcing the Separatists to recoil.

While the clone troopers advance and obliterate the droid forces, the Separatists call for a retreat while Dooku pretends not to know how the Republic had gathered such a powerful army in such a short time. Poggle the Lesser, Archduke of Geonosis, commands a full retreat and proceeds to turn over the plans for a moon-sized superweapon (the future Death Star) to Dooku to keep the Jedi from finding them.
 
Darth Tyranus faces Jedi Master Yoda.Count Dooku flees to his secret hangar, but he is followed by Obi-Wan and Anakin. After injuring Obi-Wan, he duels with Anakin, who proves to be a bit more of a challenge to the aging Dark Lord. The battle ends, however, when Dooku severs Anakin's sword arm. Before he can escape, however, he is confronted by one last Jedi—his old mentor, Yoda. After a battle of Force powers, Dooku insists on settling their contest with a lightsaber duel. Realizing that he cannot defeat Yoda, Dooku uses the Force to drop a crane on the wounded Obi-Wan and Anakin to distract Yoda long enough to make his escape. Count Dooku soon arrives on Coruscant where he meets with Sidious and informs him that the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems are officially at war.

During the Clone Wars, Dooku took up a few apprentices of his own, though of the non-Sith variety, in Sev'rance Tann: Asajj Ventress, Durge, and General Grievous. He also acts as the political figurehead of the CIS. Of course, even though Dooku's co-conspirators are aware that he is a Sith and serves Darth Sidious, they are unaware that they are mere puppets in a larger scheme. At the end of Star Wars: Clone Wars, Dooku has Grievous capture and imprison Palpatine to trick the Senate into believing he has been kidnapped, thus creating the sympathy necessary to give the Chancellor even greater emergency powers.
 
During the opening of the Revenge of the Sith, Anakin and Obi-Wan battle Dooku while trying to save Palpatine. Dooku has orders to kill Kenobi and then allow Anakin to capture him after defeating him and then turning Anakin to the dark side of the Force. Palpatine has convinced Dooku that Kenobi's death will make Anakin vulnerable to the dark side. Once turned, Dooku believes, Anakin will be the perfect commanding general of his new Sith Army.

Dooku is once more able to render Kenobi unconscious before being disarmed (literally, as both of his hands are severed) by Anakin. At the Chancellor's urging, Anakin uses his lightsaber, combined with Dooku's own, to decapitate the Count with a crossed-lightsabers, scissor-like strike, killing a shocked Dooku instantly. Sidious had promised Dooku that he would intervene in the unlikely event that Anakin won the duel, but unfortunately for Dooku he only realizes Palpatine's betrayal right before he dies. Palpatine never intended Dooku to be the true apprentice and only used him as a placeholder for his real choice; Anakin, who later becomes Darth Vader, Palpatine's third and greatest apprentice.

Asajj Ventress

Ventress was a Dark Jedi, and one of Count Dooku' Force-attuned operatives. She wielded twin lightsabers given to her by Dooku himself, lightsabers which were specially modified to connect into a double-bladed lightsaber. Asajj Ventress was voiced by Grey DeLisle in the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series.

Ventress hailed from the barbaric planet of Rattatak. She became cold-hearted and merciless from a lifetime of enduring cruel hardships that began when Osika Kirske murdered her parents while she was young. She would later come under the teaching of a Jedi named Ky Narec. The two quickly became favored by the people, until Narec was killed by Kirske before Ventress could become a full-fledged Jedi. Because of this, she was as skilled as any Jedi but was unable to control her rage, developing a hatred for the Jedi that had abandoned her mentor and had ignored the bloodshed on Rattatak.

Ventress soon became a force of authority on her lawless homeworld, defeating most of the remaining warlords and getting her revenge on Kirske. She kept Narec's lightsaber as a memento.

During the Clone Wars, Ventress appeared before Count Dooku when he arrived on Rattatak to add it to the Separatist movement. Impressed with Ventress' talents, Dooku recruited her by appealing to her disgust with the Jedi. After beating her in a sparring duel, Dooku made her commander of his Separatist forces and gave her a pair of sabers with his trademark curved hilts. She was sent to kill Anakin Skywalker, only to be nearly killed by him.

She would capture Obi-Wan Kenobi in a later battle and transport him to Rattatak for interrogation in hopes to give the broken-down Jedi to Count Dooku. However, Kenobi escaped with ARC Trooper Alpha. Before leaving, Kenobi stole Narec's lightsaber from Ventress, making the mission personal.

She also appeared on Ord Cestus, during the Bio-droid Crisis. She was behind the X'Ting criminal Trillot's dealings with Kenobi. Ventress also destroyed the Republic Cruiser carrying Barrister Doolb Snoil returning to the Republic; however, Snoil managed to survive. Ventress later challenged Kenobi and Kit Fisto to a duel. Ventress disarmed Master Fisto, but lost to Kenobi while fighting in a subterranean lake. She let loose a smoke bomb and fled back to the Confederacy and Dooku.

Ventress fell into a canyon after Skywalker overpowered her during a lightsaber battle, which she barely survived. She was sent to a planet where she was placed in a bacta tank by Count Dooku and given cybernetic modifications, which amplified her rage. When Kenobi was captured by Count Dooku, he was brought before the tank in which Ventress was contained, and was subsequently attacked by her, who detected him in her trance. She fought against both Kenobi and Skywalker, only to be abandoned by Dooku, who ordered some of General Grievous's body guards to kill her as she ran towards Dooku's shuttle. Enraged and wounded, Ventress tried to kill Kenobi as he tried to help her, only to be mortally wounded by Skywalker, who stabbed her from behind. As she lay dying, before Kenobi put her on a ship to Coruscant, she told him the location of the Separatists' next target and let go of her anger and rage.

However, Ventress did not die, placing herself in a Sith trance. While on the shuttle, she emerged from her trance and ordered the pilots to take her as far away as possible from the war, Dooku, and the Jedi.

Darth Vader

Darth Vader was the Sith title given to Anakin Skywalker by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine after he embraced the dark side of the Force in 19 BBY after struggling against its grip for several years.

Palpatine lured Anakin to the dark side when he promised to save his wife, Padmé Amidala, from the death Skywalker had foreseen for her in his dreams. Skywalker buried all good in himself and, at the command of his new master, led the 501st Legion to the Jedi Temple, killing every single Jedi inside, including the younglings.
 
Darth Vader burnsVader's next mission from his master, an assignment to kill the Separatist leaders on Mustafar, was also a success. However, he was tracked to the planet by Padmé, and through her, by his former Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Being with his beloved wife after doing everything he had been led to believe would only strengthen his abilities with the force, Vader believed this to be one of the greatest moments in his life. He could see clearly how powerful he was, and that his destiny was to overthrow the newly anointed Emperor. With Padme at his side, he claimed he could bring peace and justice to the Galaxy.

But his wife would have no part in his machinations. When Padmé challenged her husband about his involvement with the massacre at the Jedi Temple, and Vader saw that Kenobi had stowed away on her ship, he choked his pregnant wife into unconsciousness, and attacked Kenobi.

Vader was defeated in the ensuing duel, losing both legs and his remaining natural arm, and suffering severe burns. Left for dead by Kenobi on the banks of a river of lava, he was rescued by his new master. After extensive surgery at the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center, Vader became a cyborg. Although he lived it is estimated he lost about half of the power he had had as a Jedi. After the duel, he was about 80% of the Emperor's power, therefore unable to overthrow him. He also learned that his wife had died after he attacked her, though neither Vader nor Palpatine knew that she had given birth to twins shortly before her death.

The personality of Darth Vader became even more distinctive from Anakin Skywalker due to the great physical and emotional damage that completely changed his appearance and character. As Darth Vader, Anakin became a powerful asset to the fledgling Empire, serving as an enforcer, Jedi hunter, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet, and Executor of Palpatine's New Order.

Many of Vader's early missions were ordered by the Emperor himself, who did so not only to test the limits of his crippled apprentice's abilities, but to keep him from wallowing in self pity over his wife's death. These early missions included slaying a group of Jedi Knights, apprehending the dissident Senator Fang Zar on Alderaan, and a trip to the planet Kashyyyk to oversee the enslavement of the Wookiees. A notable mission was to the planet Honoghr, devastated by the Separatist toxin Trihexalophine1138 during the Clone Wars. He promised the native Noghri that the Empire would restore Honoghr's ecosystem under the condition that they serve the Emperor as assassins.

Vader piloted a black-hued Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor during some of his early missions for Palpatine as the Great Jedi Purge continued, sometimes flanked by Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighters. His personal command ship during this time was the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Exactor.

Vader's most personal tasks were to find and eliminate survivors of Order 66. Among them were Empatojayos Brand, who was forced to live out the remainder of his life inside a pressure suit, An'ya Kuro, whom he knew from the Jedi Temple as "The Dark Woman", and Halagad Ventor, from whom Vader learned the location of other Jedi survivors, including Qu Rahn. However, the object of his most intense wrath, Obi-Wan Kenobi, managed to elude him.

Although in possession of great wealth and power, Vader allowed himself few comforts. Among those was a personal retreat on Coruscant and Bast Castle on Vjun. The 501st Legion, the stormtrooper squad he led in the extermination of the Jedi Order, became his personal guard, the actions they undertook in Vader's name over the course of the Civil War earning them the nickname of "Vader's Fist".

In 1 BBY, Vader and Palpatine were the targets of a group of treacherous Imperial officers led by Grand Moff Trachta. Trachta saw the Sith as foolish and archaic, and believed that the Empire should not be ruled by a two-man cult. They planned to use a batch of altered stormtroopers loyal only to them to destroy the two Sith Lords. However, their plot failed in part because of internal fighting between the co-conspirators.

Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, Vader was charged with retrieving the stolen plans for the Death Star and finding the hidden base of the Rebel Alliance. With an interrogation droid, he tortured Leia Organa and oversaw the deaths of billions during the destruction of the planet Alderaan ordered by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. Vader also battled the elderly Obi-Wan Kenobi, his former mentor, in their second lightsaber duel. Despite Obi-Wan's vague warning that killing him would make him "more powerful than you can possibly imagine", Vader struck him down, and Obi-Wan became a spirit in the Force who continued to guide Luke Skywalker. To determine the location of the Rebel base, Vader allowed Luke and Han Solo to rescue Princess Leia and escape with the technical readouts of the Death Star.

During the Battle of Yavin, he piloted a distinctive TIE Advanced x1 fighter and almost prevented Luke's attack on the Death Star from being successful. Vader sensed that the young pilot in his sights was Force-sensitive, putting into motion a series of events that culminated in the death of the Empire. When the Millennium Falcon shot down one of his two support craft, the other panicked and veered into Vader's fighter, sending him spinning away from the battle station. Vader soon regained control and escaped to Coruscant, where he was formally reprimanded by the Emperor for failing to stop the Rebels. He then continued his mission to find the Rebel base. His search took him to such worlds as Ultaar and Centares. He tortured a Rebel pilot that led him to discover the identity of the one who destroyed the Death Star, Luke Skywalker—the son he thought he had lost.

Vader believed that his unborn child had perished with his wife, Padmé Amidala, on Polis Massa, but Vader eventually deduced that Luke was in fact this child. The Sith Lord became obsessed with hunting down Luke, an objective which neatly coincided with his task of destroying the Rebellion.

Equipped with this information, Lord Vader engineered a number of plans to capture the young Jedi. He involved the House of Tagge family of nobles in a plan to capture Skywalker on the world of Monastery. He also used an actor posing as Obi-Wan Kenobi to attempt to lure Luke to the planet Aridus. When Governor Bin Essada learned that Skywalker and Princess Leia were on Circarpous V, he contacted the Dark Lord. Vader traveled to the jungle world, and faced the Jedi in the abandoned Temple of Pomojema. Guided by the spirit of Obi-Wan, Luke severed Vader's right arm in combat. With both arms being robotic now, the wound was unable to stop Vader from continuing his pursuit. Soon after the fight resumed though, the Sith Lord toppled into a sacrificial well and the Rebels escaped.

Vader dispatched probe droids to remote regions of the Galaxy and would eventually detect the Rebel Echo Base on Hoth.

A Historical Timeline. (Prepared by Limbonik, Darksider Historian.)
 
Sith Activity: 100,000 BSW4 - 32 BSW4
 
c. 100,000 BSW4
 
The ancient Sith race begins to develop their distinct culture and civilization. Only later, as these people spread across the galaxy does the term "Sith" become associated more with their teachings and philosophies than with the species itself. Though the Sith hold great power, they are not united, preferring to remain in tribal "circles", bands of Sith led by one or more sorcerors who were responsible for the safety and protection of their charges.
 
"The SW Encylopedia," [page 268] and "SW RPG: Tales of the Jedi Companion" [page 78 - 79] . Note: This is not the same Sith as the later Dark Jedi to take the name "Sith," lest anyone think they predated even the Jedi themselves.
 
c. 25,000 to 15,000 BSW4
 
The Sith retained a harmonious social structure until now, with the arrival of a fallen Jedi, who took particular interest in their techniques for drawing power from the dark side. This dark Jedi dominated the Sith people, turning them into unwilling thralls, stealing their knowledge of sorcery and using it against them. This Jedi proclaimed himself the Dark Lord of the Sith, making him first in a lineage that would plague the rest of the galaxy for untold millennia. The Sith developed and perfected the techniques of calling on the dark side, enabling them to create more and more complex powers once thought well beyond the grasp of mere sentients. The Sith simultaneously feed on and empower the dark side in a symbiotic relationship whose ties can never be severed. This dark Jedi would continue to pervert Sith culture until his lineage is joined millennia later by hundreds of fallen Jedi during the Great Schism, which would conclude in the total subjugation of the Sith species.
 
"SW RPG: Tales of the Jedi Companion." [page 79] Michael Potts: Tales of the Jedi Companion does not give an exact dating for the fallen Jedi who corrupts the Sith race, and claims the title of first Dark Lord of the Sith, but it has to be after the formation of the Jedi, and well before the golden age of the Sith Empire. I have placed it here to allow for the ‘long lineage’ of Sith Lords, and for time to allow them to gradually build up their Sith Empire.
 
c. 16,000 BSW4
 
Sith warlord - king Adas uses his knowledge of the Dark Side to conquer and subjugate his homeworld.
 
"Tales of the Jedi RPG Companion." [page 72]
 
c. 15,000 BSW4
 
Republic Fleet Systems is formed. The company is founded to design warships to counter the threat of Sith - backed uprisings in the distant corners of the Old Republic. In time, the company expands its operations to design exploration, transport, passenger, and colony vessels.
 
"The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels."
 
c. 14,000 BSW4
 
Holocron technology is developed by the Sith.
 
Conjecture from "SW RPG Tales of the Jedi Companion." [page 79]
 
c. 11,500 BSW4
 
The first great schism between Jedi Knights takes place, a schism between the Forces of Light and Darkness. After a century of battle, the Dark Jedi are exiled and eventually take over the Sith civilization, building it into an empire, bringing about the so-called 'Golden Age of the Sith.' Among the many Jedi literature and traditions of the time is the prophecy of the one who will bring ‘balance to the Force’ and heal the schism.
 
"... And in the time of greatest despair there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as: THE SON OF THE SUNS." Journal of the Whills, 3:127
"Tales of the Jedi: Golden Age of the Sith." Date is conjecture only, as it could have taken place at any time between -15000 BSW4 and -5000 BSW4. The art seems to indicate Lightsabres were not yet invented at the time of the schism.
 
A Sith Holocron is created. In time, it will fall into the hands of Odan-Urr.
 
"Tales of the Jedi: The Sith War." Urr said it contained knowledge "dating back a hundred thousand years and more."
 
c. 7,000 BSW4
 
The Sith lore library of Veeshas Tuwan on Arkania is opened. It serves as both one of the few future Imperial records halls and as a repository for Sith lore. The great library covers more than five square kilometers, and bore down into the planet's surface for countless levels. In sealed chambers Sith sorcerers conduct Dark Side experiments and transcribe Sith rituals for their own use. For the next several thousand years the library grows in both knowledge and physical size, eventually becoming too large for even the most experienced Sith Lords to easily locate the information they seek.

c. 5,000 BSW4
 
A young Jedi scholar named Odan-Urr is sent to the Koros system to help Empress Teta conquer Kirrek, the last of the seven worlds of her system.
 
Hok and Timar Daragon of Cinnagar (two hyperspace explorers) run relief supplies for the soldiers of Kirrek, and are killed in a final battle that wins Teta the planet and the entire system, largely due to Urr's Jedi battle meditation. Their children, Gav and Jori, take the Starbreaker 12 to explore the galaxy. A few months later, they are not faring very well financially, up to their eyeballs in debt to Aarrba the Hutt -- and worse still, a Cha'a cargo drone ship is destroyed using one of their routes. When merchant lord Ssk Kahorr manages to stop a bonus from the Navigator's Guild and sends bounty hunters for them, the Daragons have to escape.Stealing the impounded Starbreaker from Aarbra's repair shop and making a random hyperjump, they arrive on the planet Korriban -- right in the middle of the funeral of Marka Ragnos, Dark Lord of the Sith. A power struggle is underway between Ragnos's two pupils, the complacent Ludo Kressh and the impulsive Naga Sadow. Ragnos's spirit halts a battle between them, urging them to "choose your course wisely... fight the correct battles... or all is lost."
 
On Cinnagar, Teta vows to arrest the Daragons if they return, even as Urr receives a premonition of the dark times to come.
 
The Daragons arrive at Korriban and are immediately taken captive. Sadow sees in the Daragons a door to the Republic, and conquest. He saves them from certain execution at Ziost fortress, murders his old ally Simus (a disembodied former enemy of Ragnos), takes the two in at his fortress at Khar Shian and declares himself Dark Lord of the Sith. He made the escape look like a Republic raid, and he calls for war.
 
On Coruscant, Teta and Urr informs the Senate of the danger, but the Senate doesn't take the threat seriously.
 
(COMIC BOOK MINISERIES - Dark Horse Comics - Kevin J. Anderson - July 1996 - February 1997)
 
Jori returns to Cinnagar, and is immediately arrested and charged with a long string of crimes. Her desperate warnings go unheard, let alone heeded. Everyone, even Aarrbra, has turned against her. And to add insult to injury, a gleeful Ssk Kahorr (the reason she and Gav left Cinnagar in the first place) shows up to personally take the Starbreaker 12 for himself. Jori is tried, convicted, and sent to the slave labor prison colony of Ronika all within a single day.
 
Meanwhile, Odan Urr's teacher, Master Ooroo, comes to visit. He tells Odan that while the Senate didn't listen to his warnings, the Jedi did. And Empress Teta has been building up her army in preparation for the assault.
 
Ludo Kressh tries one last time to warn the Sith of Sadow's plans, but Sadow orders Gav to block the transmission -- then watches Gav's shocked face as he in fact blows up Kressh's ship. Gathering his fleet at Khar Shian, Sadow appoints a reluctant Gav commander of his fleet, and orders the Great Hyperspace War into being...
 
Jori escapes from Ronika in an ore ship, risking her life against the Cinnagar fleet to reach Empress Teta's palace and finally getting the warning to her.
 
The Sith fleet arrives in Republic space. Their first shot destroys the Starbreaker 12 and Ssk Kahorr. They rush upon a completely unprepared Coruscant, and every other major point in the Republic, as Sadow uses Sith illusion to make the fleet look much larger than it truly is and starts firing drop ships of Massassi warriors and giant beasts upon the planets.
 
Teta launches her fleet to meet the challenge as Urr works at Kirrek with the now pardoned and released rebels to repel the invasion.
 
Gav travels down to Cinnagar to find Jori -- and is helpless to stop his Sith guards from disembowling Aarbra.
 
Jori arrives just in time to see Gav and the Hutt's corpse, and jumps to the wrong conclusion. Wielding a lightsaber given her by Urr, she attacks her brother. Gav escapes and (with Jori following) rushes to Sadow's base at Primus Goluud, now fully realizing how Sadow has used him and determined to stop him. With Sadow thus distracted, the Jedi find it easier to see through the illusions and drive the Sith off Coruscant. The heroes win at Kirrek as well, even with Master Ooroo's death.
 
Sadow challenges Gav to face him directly -- and then quietly abandons his base. Gav enters the base just as Empress Teta's fleet (who followed him) arrives. He informs Jori that with Sadow's entire force in Republic space, the entire Sith Empire is completely unprotected. Sadow retaliates by detonating the supergiant Primus Goluud into a supernova, killing Gav before his sister's eyes. Teta's fleet just barely escapes the deathtrap.
 
The shattered remains of the Sith fleet return to the Empire, only to find Ludo Kressh securely in place as Dark Lord of the Sith. He exiles Sadow from the Empire forever. Sadow replies by crashing a ship into Kressh's flagship.
The Republic fleet (led by a vengeful Empress Teta and Jori) arrives, hellbent on finishing the Sith Empire for good. Sadow flees, putting all the other Sith between him and the Republic fleet. He uses the Denarii nova, detonating it to wipe out most of the Republic fleet and make good his escape.
 
The Republic celebrates it's victory. Odan Urr studies the Sith's abandoned ships, and discovers a Sith Holocron. He decides to establish a Jedi learning center....
 
Naga Sadow and his Massassi warriors arrive on the quiet planet of Yavin IV. He decides to establish a base there, and begins building great temples. He intends to restore the glory of the Sith...
 
Jori Daragon has the happiest ending of all. Cleared of all charges, she takes over Aarrba's repair dock, and now has a secure fortune and bright future...

Freedon Nadd, a Jedi apprentice of unequalled enthusiasm and dedication, approaches what he believes to be the end of his apprenticeship and promotion to Jedi Knight. But when the time comes, the Jedi Masters refuse to grant him the title. Stunned at this contradictory action, he seeks the advice of Master Matta Tremayne, who tells him "some things you must find in yourself." She won’t tell him what’s keeping him from Knighthood. Enraged, he murders Tremayne, steals a ship, and flies toward the worlds of the former Sith Empire.

Two years into his training, King Ommin becomes too ill to continue mentoring Novar. Luckily (and to Novar’s surprise), Queen Amanoa took Ommin’s place as mentor, bringing him through the next levels of Sith technique. In time, Novar grew in power, eventually becoming a minor dark side wizard.

King Ommin’s Dark Side-caused illness worsens, as his very bone marrow degenerates. His personal physicians construct a durasteel exoskeleton to support him and keep him alive. He goes into hiding to pursue Dark Side studies, leaving Queen Amanoa in charge of Iziz. Rumors circulate of his death, and he does nothing to discourage them.

umm ya, I dont have a week to read this, what does this have to do with the Jedi forum?



I have posted this strictly to address the History of the Sith and the differences/distinctions between the Sith, the Dark Jedi and the Dark Jedi "Sith Lords". It is also nice for some players to have backstory when trying to roleplay in a roleplaying game. Seeing as we've ripped the game from Canon to include the EU now I have included backstory found thru-out the released comics, guides, books and technical journals.
 
If you don't have the time to read it, don't. It makes no difference to me if you read this or not.

Yeah, I know. I'm quite a few (newer) books/comics/etc behind so I don't have the information available to me currently. Once I do have access to the info I will gladly edit/add it to this timeline. (For now, I'll just google some info up.)
