He was later summoned to the world of Praetus, a part of the Netherworld, to lead the new Order of Dai Bednu against the army of the Sith god Ra-Sal.

Cala Brin/Ashla (Human female); possibly a member of the Je'daii Order, Cala Brin was one of the four founders of the Jedi Order, along with Ters Sendon, Garon Jard, and Rajivari. In the realm of Praetus, Brin renamed herself Ashla, for she represented the light side of the Force that the Jedi followed.

Gorga Desilijic Aarapo (masculine Hutt from Tatooine); the nephew of Jabba Desilijic Tiure, Gorga the Hutt was a member of the Hutt Grand Council during the Clone Wars. Around 21 BBY, Gorga and the other councilors hired the bounty hunter Cad Bane to hunt for Gorga's grandfather, Ziro the Hutt. Years later, after Jabba's death, Gorga the Hutt took over his uncle's criminal empire on Tatooine. He also hired the Snatchers to serve as 'bodyguards', for he did not believe that Gamorrean guards would be enough. When Luke Skywalker ended up on Tatooine, Gorga threw him into his palace's arena pit and was going to unleash a large creature similar to a rancor, only to find out that Animus had replaced it. After a long fight, Luke used Animus to flee from the palace. During his escape, Gorga was crushed by Animus' dragon form.

Skwid-Ward (Quarren male); around 11 ABY, Skwid-Ward served as Gorga the Hutt's majordomo after he took over Jabba the Hutt's criminal empire. During Luke Skywalker's escape from Gorga's palace, Skwid-Ward was killed by Animus' large dragon form.

Although he defeated Skywalker, the mad clone was shot in the back by Han Solo, killing him.

Narus (Human male from Naboo); the first King of Naboo in four decades, Narus succeeded Nalida I as monarch of Naboo around 7 ABY. In 10 ABY, Senator Leia Organa Solo and her family traveled to Naboo in search of Jedi in hiding, and spoke with Narus, who did not have the answers they were looking for. Years later, after he had filled his term, Narus mysteriously vanished. Although his whereabouts were never revealed, it was eventually presumed that he was killed by the Sith.

Nalida II (Human female from Naboo); the daughter of Queen Nalida I, Nalida II became monarch of Naboo sometime shortly before the Imperial Sith War. Sometime during the war, Darth Ravage, under the alias of the Jedi Master Zavar Rarnok, sowed distrust among the Naboo and Nalida began to distrust the Jedi. After an argument with Supreme Commander Garm Bel Iblis, Nalida had Naboo secede from the New Republic. It is unknown if they rejoined after the war's end.

Kal-Teraz (male Sith god); an ancient being possibly related to the Celestials, Kal-Teraz was one of the thirteen Sith gods, unified only by the leadership of Valtheran. After Vlatheran was defeated by unknown means, the Sith gods went their separate ways and Kal-Teraz went into hibernation on Dromund Kaas, where he would go under the notice of Lord Vitiate and Darth Millennial's dark side sect. In 25 ABY, Darth Vorath used the Staff of Valtheran to reawaken Kal-Teraz and, secretly, control the Sith god. A year later, Vorath unleashed Kal-Teraz on Coruscant, causing havoc and destruction where ever he went. When Luke destroyed the staff, Vorath lost control over Kal-Teraz and the Sith god was quickly weakened and destroyed by the combined forces of the Mandalorian Protectors and the Republic fleet.

Ra-Sal (male Sith god); one of the thirteen Sith gods who followed Valtheran, Ra-Sal traveled to the realm of Praetus, which served as the Netherworld of the Force.

The Essential Guide to Star Wars Destiny Characters: Others/The Snatchers

LEADERS/BOSSES

Mujambo (Kyuzo male); years ago, around 990 BBY, Mujambo, along with Daraga the Hutt, founded the mercenary group known as the Snatchers, after their predecessors the Tuskens were disbanded by Chancellor Tarsus Valorum. Over time, Mujambo became delusional, especially after the Snatcher Nad Malum became a Dark Lord of the Sith, and thus wanted to see his faction's progress to the end. Thus, he began hibernating in stasis, while Daraga the Hutt oversaw the factions until his death in 200 BBY. Mujambo then entrusted another Hutt to establish new leaders over time. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, Mujambo began impersonating or trading places with his fellow Kyuzo Embo (it is unknown if Embo died in the Clone Wars). After many of the Snatchers resigned or were killed following Bossk's death at Mandalore, Mujambo decided to take action and become leader once again. 

Marka Zurge (Devaronian female); a feisty, short-tempered Devaronina, Marka Zurge became the Snatchers' Boss around 19 BBY. Two decades later, Zurge went on a mission to Alderaan and was killed when the planet was destroyed by the Death Star. She was immediately succeeded by her deputy, Zoran.

Zoran (Falleen male); a stubborn man, Zoran was the deputy of the Snatchers under Marka Zurge's leadership. After Zurge's death, Zoran, as per the Snatcher's chain of command policy, immediately became the Boss. It is unknown what Zoran's fate was, but he was eventually succeeded by Dan'wal in 4 ABY.

Dan'wal (Human male from Taris); raised by an upper class family, Dan'wal joined the Snatchers under Zoran's leadership and became the Falleen's deputy. Sometime before or after the Battle of Endor, Dan'wal replaced Zoran as Boss. In 5 ABY, he sent Cad Bane and a group of Snatchers to Dantooine, in the hopes of capturing Luke Skywalker. Months before the Dark Empire's fall, Dan'wal was assassinated by Black Sun.

Cad Bane (Duros male from Duro); a famous bounty hunter who was often hired by Darth Sidious during the Clone Wars, Cad Bane joined the Snatchers at some point after escaping Republic custody and became Dan'wal's deputy after the Tarisian became Boss. In 5 ABY, Bane would lead a team of Snatchers to Dantooine to capture Luke Skywalker but failed. Years later, after Dan'wal's death, Bane and the rest of the Snatchers were hired to work for Gorga the Hutt, who had taken over his uncle Jabba's criminal empire. After Gorga himself was killed, Bane became Boss and recruited several Snatchers to replace those who had died on Tatooine. During the Imperial Sith War, after Bane's deputy Bossk was killed, most of the Snatchers resigned, leaving Bane leader of nothing. Mujambo, disguised as the Kyuzo Embo, turned on Bane and forced him to leave the Snatchers' hideout on Nar Shaddaa and never return. Bane did so and has not been seen since.

MEMBERS

Bossk (Trandoshan male from Trandosha); the son of legendary bounty hunter Cradossk, Bossk was a well-known bounty hunter that specialized in hunting Wookiees, the Trandoshans' rival species. During the Galactic Civil War, Bossk was among six bounty hunters hired by Darth Vader to track down the Millennium Falcon. In 11 ABY, Cad Bane recruited Bossk into the Snatchers and made the Trandoshan his deputy. During the Imperial Sith War, Bossk was contacted by former Republic captain Thrak Jal'daan, who told the Snatchers that Han Solo would be trying to ask the Mandalorians for help. Determined to be praised for killing a well-known person such as Han, and to settle a score with him and Chewbacca, Bossk took a group of Snatchers and followed the duo to Mandalore. Once on Mandalore, the Snatchers attacked Han, Chewbacca, and the Mandalorians. As the duo tried to escape, Bossk leaped onto their ship and attempted to plant a bomb until a Mandalorian flew and collided into the Trandoshan just as the bomb exploded, killing them both. 

Zuckuss (Gand male from Gand); when the Empire conquered his homeworld, Zuckuss abandoned his original career as a findsman and became a bounty hunter in the Crimson Nova guild. At some point during his bounty hunting career, Zuckuss became partners with the droid 4-LOM. During the Galactic Civil War, Zuckuss and 4-LOM were hired by Darth Vader to find the Millennium Falcon. A few years later, they joined the Snatchers and were often paired up with Bane. Zuckuss would continue to serve under Cad Bane's leadership and was one of the few Snatchers who remained with Bane when many of them resigned. After Mujambo turned on Bane and took over the Snatchers, he made Zuckuss his deputy.

Dengar (Human male from Corellia); a bounty hunter who worked during the Clone Wars, Dengar was seriously injured in a swoop bike accident and was repaired by Imperial scientists, who erased his emotions and turned him into an assassin. During the Galactic Civil War, a few years after he abandoned the Empire, Dengar was hired by Darth Vader to track down Han Solo. A few years later, he, along with fellow bounty hunters Zuckuss and 4-LOM, joined the Snatchers and served under the leaderships of Dan'wal and Cad Bane. Sometime during the Imperial Sith War, Dengar regained his emotions and decided to retire and marry the female Aruzan Manaroo.

4-LOM (LOM-series protocol droid); constructed by Industrial Automaton, 4-LOM served as a translator on board the Kuari Princess until the ship's computer altered his programming, prompting him to leave the transport. He soon ended up in the hands of Jabba the Hutt, who reprogrammed him completely into a bounty hunter. Years later, 4-LOM became partners with the bounty hunter Zuckuss and the two would often work together. After failing in tracking down Han Solo, 4-LOM and Zuckuss joined the Snatchers and stuck with the group even after Bossk's death. He is currently part of Mujambo's reconstructed faction.

Embo (Kyuzo male from Phatrong); a bounty hunter who lived during the Clone Wars, Embo was part of the Zabrak Sugi's band of mercenaries. He later left her group to be hire by Count Dooku to take part in the Box. It is unknown if he died during the Clone Wars, for if he did, then Mujambo began impersonating him around the time of the Galactic Civil War. In the end, Embo had vanished from the Snatchers entirely and Mujambo took his place during the Imperial Sith War.

Tarr-Nar-Mall (Cerean male); recruited during the Civil War, Tarr-Nar-Mall was a mercenary who specialized in hunting Jedi. In 11 ABY, he managed to convince his former partner Naeroo Viin to join the Snatchers. Fourteen years later, Mall accompanied Bossk's team to Mandalore to kill Han Solo and Chewbacca. The Cerean was about to kill Solo until Boba Fett fired a blaster bolt through his large cranium, killing him.

Kale Karsa (Human male from Concord Dawn); years ago, Kale Karsa was a member of the Mandalorian Protectors under Fenn Shysa. However, Karsa betrayed Shysa and decided to join the Snatchers around 4 ABY. During the Imperial Sith War, Han Solo, who learned of Karsa's ties to the Mandalorians, hired him in order to reach Mandalore and convince the Protectors to help the New Republic. Karsa agreed to accompany them, and used a tracking beacon to lead Bossk and his gang after Solo. Once on Mandalore, Karsa confronted Han but was soon apprehended by Boba Fett and the Mandalorians, and was eventually imprisoned. 

Jalan (Weequay male); a skilled and talented thief, Jalan was once part of Hondo Ohnaka's pirate group as a teenager. Later on, Jalan was recruited into the Snatchers and was part of Bane's team.

Jalan was among the many killed. 

Kerran Khan (Human male); a former smuggler, Kerran Khan, whose name is in fact an alias, was a pilot who once served in the Imperial Navy before abandoning the Empire following a defeat at Ando. Changing his name to Kerran Khan, the ex-TIE pilot joined the Snatchers and served as co-pilot of the Halo, the Snatchers' preferred ship. He was part of Cad Bane's team at Dantooine and was later killed when Animus and Skywalker barged through Gorga the Hutt's palace.

Smarty (Siniteen male from Rattatak); his original name unknown, the mercenary known as Smarty was an intelligent Siniteen and the Halo's ship navigator. Sometime before Dan'wal's death, Smarty and Dem Hazon left the Snatchers to do work for the New Republic and served as weapon supervisors.

Kyta Parasiti (Clawdite female from Zolon); the younger sister of Bane's former partner Cato Parasiti, Kyta was recruited by Bane to fill in as an assassin after Kanaj's death. Although she was reluctant to join, due to Dan'wal having killed her lover Manier Vemson, Parasiti eventually joined and served under Bane throughout the Imperial Sith War. Years later, Parasiti found out that Bane was involved with Vemson's death and attempted to kill Bane, but was stopped and had her arm sliced off by Mujambo (again, disguising as Embo). As such, the female Clawdite later resigned.

The Essential Guide to Star Wars Destiny Characters: The Sith (and Sith-related)

SITH LORDS

Darth Vorath (Human male from Coruscant); born and raised during the Great Sith War, Kalon Soral was the son of Jedi Knights Taarn Soral and Eve Sendar. After Exar Kun's defeat, Soral was brought into the Jedi Order and soon became a Jedi Knight. Years later, when the Mandalorian Wars broke out, Kalon Soral was among the Jedi Knights who joined Revan's Jedi Crusaders, also known as Revanschists. After the war's end, Soral, along with the other Revanchists, joined Revan and Malak in their new Sith Empire, entering the Jedi Civil War. After the death of Darth Malak and the redemption of Revan, the empire's fragments retreated to Korriban, where civil war broke out and Soral took leadership of one of the many Sith factions. Months later, Revan arrived on Korriban and drove off many of the Sith. Soon, only Soral remained, and he was defeated by Revan in the tomb of Marka Ragnos. Just as Revan was about to deliver the killing blow, Soral's lover, Nova Azulon, stepped in and was slayed by Revan's blade. 

After deciding to spare Soral, Revan forced the former Jedi into exile, and Kalon Soral remained in hiding throughout the conflict against the Sith Triumvirate. After the Triumvirate collapsed, Soral traveled to the remains of Malachor V, which served as the Sith's headquarters, and encountered the Sith spirit of Darth Trayus, who taught Soral the ways of the Sith, teachings that Darth Revan had not taught. Soon, Soral became a full-fledged Sith Lord, taking on the title of Darth Vorath, Dark Lord of the Sith.

In the centuries that followed, Darth Vorath remained in hiding while countless other Lords of the Sith rose and fell. He watched the Sith Emperor's invasion on the galaxy, witnessed Darth Ruin's founding of the New Sith Empire, and the fall of Lord Kaan and the Brotherhood of Darkness. With Darth Bane's rise, Vorath chose to remain in the shadows, so Bane did not feel his presence and try to kill him. After a thousand years, Vorath returned from hiding to find out that Bane's Sith Order had fallen with the deaths of Darths Sidious and Vader. It was then that Vorath began planning his invasion of the galaxy.

The details of Vorath's plan are too many to list, but in a nutshell, it involved rooting out those still too loyal to Palpatine and his vision, and to use the remnants of the old Empire to forge a new Sith Empire. Once his plan was set in place, Vorath attacked the New Republic and began the Imperial Sith War. The war lasted for two years, and it ended with a full-scale invasion on Coruscant, where Vorath dueled with Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his apprentice Toah Jarsan. During his fight with the former, Vorath's plan was quickly put to ruins when Luke sacrificed himself to destroy the Staff of Valtheran, a Sith relic that allowed Vorath to control his secret weapon, the Sith god Kal-Teraz. With the loss of Kal-Teraz, Vorath's army was soon defeated. Angered by this, Vorath lashed out at Toah with Sith lightning, and was close to killing the young Jedi until the spirits of past people he had killed with the Staff of Valtheran rose up and helped Toah kill the Dark Lord of the Sith, ending his reign and the plan he had in mind for thousands of years.

Darth Nemesis (Human male clone from Dromund Kaas); a clone of the legendary Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Darth Nemesis was created by Darth Vorath to created a purely dark-sided copy of Anakin that was not hindered by the prosthetic replacements that Darth Vader had. For many years, Nemesis served as an assassin for Vorath, and was one of only two Sith Lords other than Vorath that held power over the Sith Council. In 25 ABY, Nemesis, who was not told that the Crimson Empire was under Vorath's control, began to feel deceived by his master when he found out the truth. A year later, on the day of the Sith's attack on Coruscant, Nemesis decided to help Toah Jarsan in his journey to find Vorath, destroy the Staff of Valtheran, and stop the Sith Empire. He later helped Toah in fighting Vorath and was considered to have fully redeemed himself by the end of the battle. He decided to take on the name Annikin Skywalker in order of his prime template and Luke. 

Darth Ravage (Zabrak male from Iridonia); the son of an Iridonian warlord, Zavar Rarnok was born sometime during the era of the Clone Wars. When the Separatists invaded Iridonia during the war, Rarnok's father was killed and the young Zabrak was taken captive, ending up imprisoned on a moon. Shortly before the war's end, Rarnok was freed by Darth Vorath, who took the Zabrak as an apprentice and named him Darth Ravage (not to be confused with the Dark Councilor of the same name). After much training, Darth Ravage soon became Vorath's most trusted lieutenant, holding power even over the Sith Council. After the outbreak of the Imperial Sith War, Ravage began to see a flaw in Vorath's plan. After fulfilling one last mission for his master, which was to sow distrust over the Jedi across the galaxy, Ravage abandoned the Sith Order at Coruscant and retreated to Vorath's former hideout, where he planned on declaring himself Dark Lord of the Sith and continuing Darth Bane's Rule of Two. However, before he could claim the mantle, the Dark Jedi-turned-Sith Lumiya had her new apprentice kill Ravage, leaving her to take on the title of Dark Lord, as well as to continue Bane's rule.

Darth Stalker (Human male clone form Kamino); created by Darth Vader in 1 BBY, Starkiller was a clone of Vader's former secret apprentice Galen Marek, being the only perfect, purely dark-sided clone of Marek. It is unknown what Starkiller did during the Galactic Civil War, but he eventually went into exile after Vader's death over Endor. He eventually joined Darth Vorath's Sith Order, serving as an acolyte at first. Shortly before the Imperial Sith War, Starkiller was made a member of the Sith Council and was given the name Darth Stalker. Along with Darth Scythe, Darth Stalker led the Battle of Dantooine during the war. After fighting in the Battle of Coruscant, Stalker retreated from the battle along with the other Sith Lords following Vorath's death. However, Stalker did not accompany the others on their way to Korriban, instead disappearing to other Sith worlds, hoping to find the secret to transfer essence and preserve his quickly-aging life by possessing multiple clone bodies (a la the Clone Emperor from Dark Empire.)

Darth Mordus (Duros male); a member of Vorath's Sith Council, Darth Mordus was recruited into the Sith Order sometime before the Invasion of Naboo. During the Imperial Sith War, Mordus was put in command of the Tyrant, as well as the Galaxy Gun. During the Battle of Dantooine, Mordus was prepared to use the superweapon on the planet until an as-of-yet unidentified pilot committed suicide and destroyed the Galaxy Gun from the inside. Due to this failure, Mordus did not return to Dromund Kaas and instead retreated to a planet elsewhere in the Outer Rim. Vorath soon found Mordus and killed him with the Staff of Valtheran, absorbing his soul.

Darth Scythe (Twi'lek male); like Stalker and Mordus, Darth Scythe was a member of Vorath's Sith Council and its unofficial chairman. During the Imperial Sith War, he commanded the Star Destroyer Eradicator during the Battle of Dantooine and later reported the Sith's defeat to Vorath. Months later, he took part in the Battle of Coruscant and retreated after Vorath's defeat and Kal-Teraz's demise, leading the remaining Sith to Korriban.

Jerec (Miraluka male); a former Jedi Master and leader of Emperor Palpatine's Seven Dark Jedi, Jerec, along with Sariss and Gorc, were brought to Darth Vorath's Sith Order in 6 ABY and at least Jerec was made a Sith Lord. At the time of the Imperial Sith War, Jerec served as military leader for the Sith Empire. It is unknown if he was killed during the Battle of Coruscant or if he retreated to Korriban along with the other surviving Sith Lords.

Zale Ven (Human male); a former Royal Guard-in-training during Palpatine's reign, Zale Ven became a Sith Knight in Vorath's order, a group of Sith warriors that served as bodyguards for the Crimson Emperor Espaa Valorum. After Darth Vorath took over, Ven and the others continued to serve as Sith Knights under the command of Darth Stalker. Their fates remain unknown.

Tares Mal (Human male); a Sith Knight in Vorath's empire, Tares Mal was the apprentice of Zale Ven. Like the other knights, his fate remains unknown.

SITH SPIRITS

Darth Andeddu (Humanoid male); an ancient Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Andeddu lived in exile on Prakith for several thousand years. In 25 ABY, Darth Vorath visited Prakith to speak with Andeddu's spirit to find the Staff of Valtheran. Much to his surprise, Andeddu was very much alive, having transferred his essence to the bodies of his followers over the past millennia. After a long duel, Vorath managed to kill Andeddu's current body as well as all of the Dark Lord's followers, preventing him from transferring his spirit any further. After leading Vorath to Oricron, Andeddu's spirit was later absorbed by the Staff of Valtheran once Vorath had obtained it. When the staff was broken, Andeddu was released, now free to either remain as a ghost or move on to the Netherworld of the Force.

Darth Vitus (Sith male); a Sith Lord who lived during the Golden Age of the Sith, Darth Vitus was the apprentice of Darth Andeddu. During his master's reign as Dark Lord, Vitus traveled to the moon of Oricron, where he performed a series of experiments that resulted in his death and the destruction of the planet Oricron was orbiting. Living as a ghost on Oricron's moon, Darth Vitus would later teach the Sith Lord Darth Drear of Emperor Vitiate's Sith Empire and give him the instructions needed to create the zombie virus that he would make later on. In 25 ABY, Darth Vorath arrived on Oricron in search of the Staff and armor of Valtheran and encountered Vitus' spirit, who unleashed an army of zombies upon the Dark Lord. After defeating the undead creatures, Vorath was given the staff and armor by Vitus, and he then used the staff to trap the Sith Lord's ghost. A year later, when Luke Skywalker destroyed the staff, Vitus' spirit was released.

Exar Kun (Human male); a Dark Lord of the Sith who led his brotherhood in the Great Sith War, Exar Kun's spirit was confined to his tomb on Yavin 4 for centuries. In 12 ABY, he left his tomb to possess the young Jedi Kyp Durron but was quickly defeated by Luke Skywalker and his students. A decade later, Skywalker and Toah Jarsan visited Kun's spirit in search of finding out Toah's origins. His spirit was later absorbed by Vorath with Valtheran's staff and later released after Skywalker destroyed the weapon. 

The Essential Guide to Star Wars Destiny Characters: Galactic/Dark/Crimson Empires

RULERS

GALACTIC EMPIRE

Sate Pestage (Human male from Ciutric IV); a former aide to Palpatine, Sate Pestage was Grand Vizier of the Galactic Empire up until the Emperor's death, following which Pestage became ruler of the Empire on Coruscant, although many Moffs and Grand Moffs self-proclaimed themselves as rulers or warlords. Pestage's reign was short lived, for most of his advisors turned against him and he was forced to make a deal with the New Republic to protect him. When the Republic did not satisfy his needs, Pestage retreated to his homeworld of Ciutric IV, where he was killed by Imperial Admiral Delak Krennel.

Ysanne Isard (Human female from Coruscant); Director of Imperial Intelligence, Ysanne Isard declared her own faction against Sate Pestage, who had proclaimed himself acting Emperor. Isard orchestrated a complicated series of events that saw to the collapse of Pestage's advisory council and the death of Pestage himself. Isard then briefly took over the remnants of the Empire but was quickly defeated.

Mitth'raw'nuruodo 'Thrawn' (Chiss male from Csila); the last of the Grand Admirals appointed by Emperor Palpatine, Mitth'raw'nuruodo, simply known by his core name Thrawn, became Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army following Darth Vader's death, although it is unlikely Pestage and Isard recognized him as such, or that they planned on leaving him in command. After both of them fell, Thrawn took over the last remnants of the Empire and retreated to the Deep Core. 

There, on the planet of Byss, Thrawn awakened the clone Darth Sidious, who formed the Dark Empire. Sidious officially made Thrawn Supreme Commander, and the Chiss Grand Admiral would lead a short but devastating campaign on the New Republic in 9 ABY. A year later, Sidious placed Thrawn in command of a strike force poised to invade Coruscant. The attack was brief though, for Thrawn realized that the Emperor was planning on getting rid of him, and so he ordered a retreat for the Unknown Regions. 

Thrawn and his forces eventually reached Dromund Kaas, where Darth Vorath's secret empire awaited them. Thrawn decided to join the empire, unaware that it was ruled by a Sith Lord. In 25 ABY, days before the Imperial Sith War began, Thrawn was attacked by the Sith Lord Darth Nemesis, who was sent to rid of anyone deemed unworthy of Vorath's empire. Thrawn, however, did not give Nemesis the satisfaction of killing him, and so seemingly committed suicide by throwing a thermal detonator right in his own apartment.

DARK EMPIRE

Darth Sidious II (Human male clone from Byss); created by Finis Valorum (disguised as the scientist Atha Prime) in order to root out and destroy those still loyal to the original Emperor Palpatine, Darth Sidious was first discovered by Grand Admiral Thrawn in 6 ABY, and Sidious reformed the remnants of the old Empire into the old Empire. For the next few years, Sidious would launch a long campaign against the Republic, though it wouldn't be until 10 ABY that he revealed himself to the known galaxy. In 11 ABY, Sidious completed a project that the original Palpatine failed to finish; the Blue Harvest Project, which resulted in the Galaxy Gun. The clone Emperor used the superweapon on the planet of Empress Teta, which was simply a test so that Darth Vorath could use the weapon in his planned attack. After the victory at Empress Teta, Sidious was considered to be no longer needed, and he was killed by Atha Prime. His death was then leaked through the HoloNet, and the Dark Empire officially conceded, ending the Galactic Civil War.

Darius Onneir (Human male from Bastion); a strong supporter of Emperor Palpatine, Darius Onneir was Moff of the Braxant sector under Grand Moff Disra, although he was unofficially given complete control over the sector after Disra sided with the warlord Trioculus and was subsequently arrested. After Darth Sidious' death, Onneir was elected leader of the Dark Empire's remnant, and he took the rest of the Empire to Bastion. Fourteen years later, Senator Leia Organa Solo was sent to negotiate a peace treaty with the remnant, to which Onneir arrogantly declined. At that moment, Darth Ravage and many other Sith Lords attacked them and killed Onneir, as well as everyone else in the Dark Empire remnant, although Admiral Klev managed to escape.

CRIMSON EMPIRE

Espaa Valorum (Human male from Dromund Kaas); the son of Finis Valorum, Espaa was raised by the Prophets of the Dark Side and later made de jure ruler of Darth Vorath's 'Crimson' Empire, although Espaa was unaware of Vorath. When Thrawn's forces arrived on Dromund Kaas, Espaa convinced them to join the Crimson Empire, giving Vorath's the army he needed. Fourteen years later, after capturing Han, Leia, and their friends, Espaa Valorum was killed by Darth Vorath, who no longer needed him.

Darth Vorath (Human male from Coruscant); an ancient Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vorath personally orchestrated the years of the Galactic Civil War following Emperor Palpatine's death. In 25 ABY, once everything was set, he unleashed an attack on the New Republic, starting the Imperial Sith War. During the climatic battle on Coruscant, Vorath dueled with Luke Skywalker and Toah Jarsan and was killed, ending the war and his empire. For more information, see the next post.

Pellaeon would later serve in the Dark Empire and the Sith Empire, and eventually became an admiral in the latter. During the Battle of Coruscant at the end of the Imperial Sith War, Pellaeon realized that the galaxy would never be at peace under any empire, and thus ordered his fleet and many others to defect, giving the New Republic the upper hand they needed in winning the battle. Afterwards, Pellaeon became Head of State of the Imperial Remnant and member of the First Galactic Alliance Triumvirate.

Titus Klev (Human male from Alsakan); son of Clone Wars veteran Vintus Klev, Titus Klev was a commander in the Imperial Army. He was among Thrawn's forces when they retreated to the Deep Core and joined under the clone Darth Sidious.

At first, Klev was loyal to Sidious, but following the destruction of Empress Teta, he began to lost trust in the Emperor. After Sidious' death, Klev and the rest of the Dark Empire followed Darius Onneir to Bastion. When Darth Ravage and the Sith began killing everyone in the empire, Klev fled the scene and stole the Millennium Falcon, fleeing to Nar Shaddaa. There he sold the ship to Raj Braven and believed that he was safe on Nar Shaddaa. However, the Sith placed a bounty on his head, and Klev was soon killed by the mercenary group the Snatchers. 

Nil Nihan (Human male from Saarn, raised on Coruscant); born to a couple who crash-landed on Saarn, Nil Nihan was found by the Empire and taken to Coruscant, where he was raised by a rich family.

Under the Dark Empire, Admiral Argen was tasked with leading an attack on Had Abbadon. Days later, during the Empire's brief attack on Coruscant, Argen refused to comply with Thrawn's order to retreat, and was thus fired upon by Admiral Kan-Rann.

Kan-Rann (Human male);  an admiral in the Imperial Navy, Kan-Rann was commander of the Tyrant II, after the original was captured by the New Republic.

He led his fleet in the Battle of Dantooine and later took part in the Battle of Coruscant. Due to his dislike of Scythe and the other Sith, it is likely Admiral Zel joined Admiral Pellaeon and defected from the Sith Empire.

Aay Zavos (Human male); in the Imperial Navy of Palpatine's Empire, Aay Zavos was captain of the Vendetta and eventually joined the Sith Empire, becoming an admiral and commander of Darth Vorath's flagship, the Apocalypse.

Kirus (Human male); an Imperial captain, Kirus served under Admiral Argen as his right-hand man and was captain of the Vengeance. During the Dark Empire's attack on Coruscant, Kirus wanted to comply with Thrawn's order to retreat but Argen forbade him. As such, Kirus was killed when the Vengeance was destroyed.

GALACTIC CIVIL WAR LINE-UP (5-19 ABY)

Wedge Antilles/Rogue Leader (Human male from Corellia); born to Jagged and Zena Antilles, Wedge was orphaned at the age of seventeen when his parents sacrificed their lives to save a fuel despot on Gus Treta. Antilles later joined the Rebel Alliance and flew for Red Squadron, under the callsign of Red Two. After the Battle of Yavin, Wedge, one of the few survivors, joined the original Rogue Squadron and flew as Rogue Three during the Battle of Hoth. A year later, he reformed Rogue Squadron into a new Red Squadron to honor those who died at Yavin during the Battle of Endor. Following the fall of Emperor Palpatine, Wedge reorganized Rogue Squadron once again, and led his fellow pilots in battles at Mygeeto and Had Abbadon. After the collapse of the Dark Empire, Rouge Squadron would continue to go on missions. In 19 ABY, Wedge thought it was time for new blood and stepped down as Rogue Leader, soon being promoted to admiral and eventually Supreme Commander.

Ibtisam/Rogue Two (Mon Calamari female from Dac); a rebellious fighter, Ibtisam joined the Rebel Alliance in order to fight against the Galactic Empire and their rule over her homeplanet.

She would fly for the New Republic in many battles, and later stepped down from her position to allow new pilots to get a chance. 

 Note: as you can see, Ibtisam doesn't die in my stories like she does in the canonical storyline. 

Nrin Vakil/Rogue Three (Quarren male from Dac); like most Quarren, Nrin Vakil was a stubborn and prideful man, and often came into conflict with Ibtisam, whose species rivaled with the Quarren.

It is likely they began living together following the fall of the Dark Empire.

Xarcce Huwla/Rogue Four (Tunroth female from Saloch); unlike most people, Xarcce Huwla was rather hesitant to join Rogue Squadron, due to them often being assigned to dangerous missions. However, her friends convinced her and Huwla began flying for Rogue Squadron.

However, his destiny took a different turn when the two droids carrying the Death Star plans ended up in his hands, leading him to becoming the Jedi apprentice of Obi-Wan Kenobi. As a hero of the Rebel Alliance, Luke fulfilled his destiny when he redeemed his father, resulting in the demise of Emperor Palpatine. A year later, Luke began reconstructing the Jedi Order, and found his first apprentice on Dantooine; a young boy named Toah Jarsan.

Years later, Aqinos and his Iron Knights joined the New Jedi Order. In 10 ABY, Aqinos was sent to Zegris to assist Kyle Katarn and Donhran Remker in finding Master Tharr. There, the Sith Lords Darth Nemesis and Darth Ravage attacked them, demanding the Tedryn Holocron. Aqinos gave into their demands and gave them the holocron, which, in the wrong hands, could cause chaos for the galaxy. As such, Aqinos was exiled again to the planet Dweem, where he was later killed by the Sith Lord Darth Scythe during the Imperial Sith War.

Kyp Durron (Human male from Deyer); a prisoner on the Imperial world of Kessel, Kyp Durron was freed by Han Solo around 11 ABY and he became a student at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4. A few months later, the ancient Sith spirit Exar Kun escaped from his tomb and possessed Kyp Durron, causing a brief but devastating conflict. Eventually, Kun's spirit was defeated and restrained forever within his tomb. Durron, vindicated from his actions, was made a Jedi Knight, and he later fought in the Imperial Sith War, most notably during the Battle of Dantooine.

The Solo Kids (Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin Solo); these four young Jedi were the children of Han and Leia Organa Solo. Not much is known of their adventures, but Jacen was at one point apprenticed to Toah Jarsan. All three of them fought in the Battle of Coruscant at the end of the war.

Tionne (Human female from Rindao); one of Luke Skywalker's first students, Tionne was knowledgeable in Jedi lore ever since she was a child. After becoming a Jedi Knight, Tionne became Chief Librarian of the Jedi archives at both Yavin 4 and Ossus.

Taana Di (Togruta female); born during the Galactic Civil War, Taana Di was trained at the Jedi Praxeum by Master Nens-Coro and eventually reached the rank of Jedi Knight prior to 25 ABY.

Kelbis Narik (Rodian male); the apprentice of Master Kro Sadoon, Kelbis Narik was good friends with Kyp Durron at the Jedi Praxeum and the two often joked about Toah Jarsan being Luke's 'star student'. He most likely fought at the Battle of Coruscant.

Zin Jato (Nautolan male from Glee Anselm); the elder brother of Nit Jato, Zin was the apprentice of Master Ean Marrab. In 26 ABY, he, his brother, and their masters were tasked with transferring military supplies to Skustell. However, Darth Ravage arrived on Skustell and killed Marrab, Nens-Coro, and Nit. Zin managed to escape and retreated to Ossus. It is unknown if he was able to reach Coruscant when the Empire invaded the planet.

Nens-Coro (Human male); a Jedi Master, Nens-Coro was the master of Nit Jato and friends with fellow Master Ean Marrab. While on Skustell, Darth Ravage arrived on the oceanic planet and dueled with the Jedi Master, easily killing him.

Nit Jato (Nautolan male from Glee Anselm); the younger brother of Zin Jato, Nit was the apprentice of Nens-Coro and stationed on Skustell. When Darth Ravage killed his master, Nit Jato charged the Zabrak Sith Lord in a fit of rage, and was swiftly killed.

Annikin Skywalker (Human male clone from Dromund Kaas); a clone of the legendary Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, the former Sith Lord Darth Nemesis was created by Darth Vorath in the hopes of creating a perfect darksided-copy of the Chosen One. However, Vorath's theory failed, for Nemesis eventually saw the true evil in the Dark Lord's ways and helped Toah Jarsan duel Vorath. After the Dark Lord of the Sith was killed, and Luke Skywalker had become one with the Force, Nemesis joined the Jedi Order and took on the name Annikin Skywalker, in honor of his prime template.

The Essential Guide to Star Wars Destiny Characters: New Republic

A guide to the characters in my Star Wars fan-fiction.

NEW REPUBLIC

CHIEFS OF STATE

Mon Mothma (Human female)(Chandrila); born in 48 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), Mon Mothma was a senator of the Old Republic, representing the Bormea sector. When Supreme Chancellor Palpatine declared the New Order, Mothma, along with Senators Organa and Bel Iblis, became part of what would become the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and later became the alliance's leader. Following the Battle of Endor, the New Republic was founded and Mothma became its first President, or Chief of State. She would lead the Republic in the following years of the Galactic Civil War and later resigned in 11 ABY, the same year in which the clone Darth Sidious died and the Dark Empire collapsed. Mothma retired to her home on Chandrila, where she lived out the Imperial Sith War and later passed away.

Jenssar SoBilles (Duros male)(Duro); born sometime during the Clone Wars, Jenssar SoBilles was the son of Hanssar SoBilles, who was the senator of Duro at the time. Jenssar's father frequently attempted to stop the corruption that had plagued the Republic, but he soon gave up once Palpatine declared himself Galactic Emperor. Thus, Jenssar made it his personal mission to liberate the galaxy from the Empire's tyrannical rule. He later joined the Rebel Alliance and became senator of the Duro sector in the New Republic's senate. After Mon Mothma retired, SoBilles was elected Chief of State. Although his term brought peace at first, he soon fell to the manipulations of Darth Vorath and Atha Prime and was later assassinated by the latter in 25 ABY.

Finis Valorum (Human male from Coruscant); born to the wealthy family of House Valorum, Finis Valorum, descendant of Chancellor Tarsus, was the senator of the Lytton sector during Chancellor Kalpana's term before being elected Supreme Chancellor in 40 BBY. Although he promised to stop the corruption that had caused the Republic's decline, he failed to fulfill his promises and was later voted out by Queen Amidala (who was being used by Senator Palpatine so he could be elected Chancellor). Afterwards, Valorum went into hiding before he returned to the political scene during the Clone Wars. Knowing that Palpatine would try to get rid of him, he hired a decoy when he left Coruscant, and thus escaped being assassinated by the Anzati assassin Salje' Tasha. Retreating to the Deep Core, Valorum assumed the disguise and alias of Atha Prime and returned to Coruscant masquerading as an Imperial Guard. He later made an alliance with the Sith Lord Darth Vorath and orchestrated the Dark Empire's war with the Alliance, using the clone Darth Sidious as an instrument. Once Vorath's plans were set, Valorum influenced his way into the New Republic senate and assassinated Chief SoBilles, framing it on the Duros' secretary. With the Republic under his command, he could now ensure the Sith's victory. However, his plan failed when Leia Organa Solo discovered his trickery and confronted him. Their duel ended with Valorum's death.

Leia Organa Solo (Human female from Alderaan); born to Senator Padme Amidala and the fallen Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Leia was adopted and raised by Senator Bail Organa and Queen Breha Antilles Organa, making her Princess of Alderaan. She later sided with the Rebel Alliance and was entrusted in guarding the stolen Death Star plans. After being freed by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo from her imprisonment by the Empire, Leia became a major leader and hero of the Rebellion. After the Battle of Endor, Leia married Han Solo and became a member of the New Republic Senate, taking part on many adventures with her family and friends. During the Imperial Sith War, she resigned from being Senator due to Valorum's corruption, but returned to overthrow him and become Chief of State and member of the First Galactic Alliance Triumvirate.

GALACTIC SENATE

Trik Regan (Ithorian male from Ithor); a former aide to Senator Umwaw Moolis, Trik Regan eventually succeeded Moolis as senator of the Ottega sector after 12 ABY. Around 20 ABY, he became Chair of the Senate and Vice Chief to Jenssar SoBilles. After SoBilles' death, Regan was replaced by Borsk Fey'lya. His fate is unknown.

Borsk Fey'lya (Bothan male from Kothlis); born to Clan Alya on the second-rate Bothan colony world Kothlis, Borsk Fey'lya felt the need to become just as great as the Bothans from Bothawui, who were often held in higher respect. He joined the Rebel Alliance as a leader in the Bothan Spynet and later became senator of the Bothan sector in the New Republic. For many years, Fey'lya struggled to rise through the ranks and become Chief of State. His hopes grew when Finis Valorum made him Chair of the Senate, and thus an unwitting ally of the Sith, but his dreams never came to fruition for Valorum was soon overthrown and Fey'lya was revoked from his duties.

Ponc Gavrisom (Calibop male); Senator of the Aviar sector, Ponc Gavrisom was good friends with Leia Organa and was one of the few people who did not trust Jenssar SoBilles completely. When Valorum took over, he had his spies keep a keen eye on Gavrisom, whom he thought would attempt to overthrow him, and thus the Calibop senator was put in danger. His worries were soon over though when Valorum was killed and Leia Organa made Gavrisom Chair of the Senate.

Verrinefra B'thog Indriummsegh (Elomin male from Elom); The senator of the Sertar sector, Verrinefra Indriummsegh was one of the founders of the New Republic. He later became Staff Aide to Chief SoBilles. After Valorum took over, the Elomin senator resigned.

Doman Beruss (Human female from Corellia); one of the original founders of the New Republic, Doman Beruss represented the Corellian sector in the Galactic Senate. After the outbreak of the Imperial Sith War, Beruss was presumably killed by agents of the Empire. 

Sian Tevv (Sullustan male from Sullust); born to two Sullustan diplomats, Sian Tevv rose to become a leading figure in a resistance movement on Sullust. He later joined the Rebel Alliance and was one of the founders of the New Republic, becoming senator of the Brema sector. During the Imperial Sith War, Tevv died via unknown circumstances. He was succeeded by Sien Siev.

Kerrithrarr (Wookiee male from Kashyyyk); a founding member of the New Republic, Kerrithrarr was senator of the Mytaranor sector and member of the Provisional Council under Mon Mothma, along with Indriummsegh, Beruss, Fey'lya, Tevv, and Leia. He later resigned in 24 ABY, a year before the Imperial Sith War.

Triebakk (Wookiee male from Kashyyyk); succeeding Kerrithrarr as senator of the Mytaranor sector, Triebakk was a supporter of Jenssar SoBilles, along with Senators Fey'lya and Pwoe. When Valorum took over, Triebakk became wary of him, even when Kashyyyk remained untouched by the Empire and the Sith. He presumably survived the Battle of Coruscant.

Harkon Dell (Ralok male from Ralon); a senator of the Old Republic, Harkon Dell joined Bail Organa and Mon Mothma in the Rebellion movement and joined the Rebel Alliance. After the founding of the New Republic, Dell represented his homeworld, located within the Deep Core, in the Galactic Senate. In 10 ABY, the Dark Empire attacked Ralon and captured Senator Dell. On board the clone Darth Sidious' flagship, the Eclipse, Dell was executed by the Sith Lord.

During the Imperial Sith War, Zooranoo was reported missing.

Nik Netor (Human male from Empress Teta); a historian well-versed in the days of the Unification Wars of Koros, Nik Netor was senator of the Teta sector around 11 ABY. In that year, the Dark Empire attacked the Empress Teta system and used the Galaxy Gun on the planet itself, killing all of its inhabitants, including Senator Netor.

Gron Marrab (Mon Calamari male from Dac); succeeding Senators Q-Varx and Cilghal, Gron Marrab became senator of the Calamari sector sometime before 25 ABY, representing the Mon Calamari while Senator Pwoe represented the Quarren. A few months after the Imperial Sith War broke out, Marrab was killed in an airspeeder accident on Coruscant. He was succeeded by his wife Via Eerin.

Pwoe (Quarren male from Dac); a supporter of Chief SoBilles, Pwoe represented the Quarren of Dac alongside Gron Marrab, who represented the Mon Calamari. After Finis Valorum took over, Pwoe, along with Borsk Fey'lya, became an ally of his, thus becoming an unknowing puppet of the Sith. After Valorum was overthrown, Pwoe was forced to resign as senator of the Quarren.

Via Eerin (Mon Calamari female from Dac); a relative of the late Jedi Knight Bant Eerin, Via Eerin was the wife of Senator Gron Marrab, and later succeeded him as Senator of the Calamari sector following his death. She became allies with Gavrisom and Leia during Valorum's rule.

Under the Empire's New Order, Ackbar became a slave of Grand Moff Tarkin's until he was freed. He joined the Rebel Alliance and became an admiral in the Alliance's navy, leading many fleets in the Battle of Endor. He later became a founding member of the New Republic and was made Supreme Commander of the New Republic Defense Force by Chief Mothma. Ackbar led the Defense Force through many of the last battles of the Galactic Civil War until his unfortunate demise at the hands of the Dark Empire's superweapon, the Galaxy Gun.

He served under Chief SoBilles during the fourteen years of peace that followed and later under Finis Valorum. During the Imperial Sith War, when defeat seemed to be on the horizon, Bel Iblis resigned from his post, thinking himself no longer fit to lead, and had his deputy Ruk'thri ensure that Wedge Antilles succeeded him. He later contacted Boba Fett and the Mandalorian Protectors and asked for their help in the Battle of Coruscant. The Mandalorians agreed, and Bel Iblis' actions soon resulted in the end of the war with the Republic's victory.

Star Wars Short Stories: Always Two There Are -- Tales of the Rule of Two

GHOSTS

Timeline: after 980 BBY, before 550 BBY

Darth Sareth stared at the Sith holocron she had just created. She had foreseen her death at the hands of her apprentice and had created the holocron so she could store all of her knowledge away before she died. 

I have taught him too well. Ever since their mission to Bosthirda, Sareth had began to realize that her apprentice had become more powerful than her, as much as she hated to admit it. She also began to wonder if this was how her master felt when she killed him; proud and fearful at the same time.

She would never forget his last words. You may have triumphed now, but I will always haunt you. Such is the way of the Sith. Of course, his words never became reality. To this day, she had not been given the inkling that he was haunting her. But his words did.

She wondered if her last words would have a similar impact on her apprentice. She did have a way with words, which explained how she got her apprentice to join the Order of the Sith Lords.

Her musings were interrupted by the sound of an opening door behind her, followed by the slow, soft footsteps of her apprentice. He was azure skinned Duros, with red, piercing eyes, and a breathing apparatus at his neck, which he acquired after a lightsaber duel accident, which damaged his jaw. Not unlike Darth Malak's injury, Sareth thought. He also wore the traditional black Sith robes, and held a curved lightsaber hilt in his hand.

With a deep, electronic-toned voice, the apprentice spoke. "Hello, master."

"Hello, my apprentice," Sareth replied, not turning to face him. "What brings you here so late at night? Even a Lord of the Sith needs time to rest and meditate."

"I don't need rest," the Duros Sith growled. "The dark side gives me all I need to kill you."

"Ah yes," Sareth said quietly. "Such is the way of the Rule of Two. Makes you wonder if Darth Bane would be proud of us, to have carried this tradition so far."

"He would certainly be proud of me," the apprentice replied. With a snap-hiss, the Duros' lightsaber turned on and a scarlet blade of light ignited. He then began to slowly approach Sareth from behind.

"You know," Sareth murmured, as if she was oblivious to her apprentice's approach, "my master once told me that nothing is ever as it seems."

The apprentice was four feet away. Still Sareth went on. "Because you never know if the halls of the Jedi Temple are being roamed by the ghosts of past Jedi Knights who fell during Darth Malgus' attack..."

Three feet away. "Or if the streets of Nar Shaddaa are being walked upon by the ghosts of people who have been murdered or have starved to death..."

Two feet away. "Or if this very chamber is being haunted by the ghost of Sith Lords who have died attempting to explore the temple's secrets."

One foot away. "My master was known as Darth Necrosis. Quite fitting, isn't it?"

The scarlet blade went into her back as its wielder's voice went into her ear. "I don't believe in ghosts...."

Sareth smiled as she whispered, "Oh, you will, Darth Malus. You will..."

FEAR

Darth Metus was afraid.

Of course, that wasn't much of a surprise. He was always afraid. But this time, he was more afraid than usual. Here he was, standing before the entrance to his master's chambers. He knew that, behind those doors, his master was sitting in deep meditation, unaware of him.

Metus sighed heavily. He knew it had to be done, for it was rule that was established by Darth Bane.

Lightsaber in hand, he quietly opened the door and quietly walked into the chamber. Sitting in the center of the room was a female Twi'lek, with violet skin and cyborganic plating all over her body, a result of a duel between her and her Sith master on Jaguada. 

Taking a deep breath, Metus slowly approached the Twi'lek, his suction cupped fingers nervously resting on his lightsaber's activation button. He was nearly there. Just a few more steps and he'd be in range to-

Suddenly, his master awoke from her meditation and lashed out at the Rodian Sith Lord, unleashing a blast of lightning from her sole uninjured hand. Metus fell to the floor, twitching in agony as the Twi'lek walked up to him, lightsaber in hand.

"Idiotic fool," she said quietly. "Did you really think it would be that easy to get rid of me?" She rose her lightsaber over her head. "I knew you would never be a worthy Sith Lord."

Before his master could deliver the final blow, Metus rose his hands and pushed her away with the Force. Retrieving his lightsaber, the Rodian charged towards the Twi'lek, howling an ancient Sith battlecry to boost his confidence. Just as he brought his weapon down, his master reactivated her's and the two scarlet blades clashed.

Through the blood colored glow of the lightsabers, Metus could see his master's yellow eyes glowering at him, filled with rage and hatred. They frightened him....

Quite ironic, he thought. When he first met his master, back when she was simply the aide of his father's friend, he thought she was the most beautiful person he ever saw. And now, to him, she was fear itself.

He couldn't take it anymore. Those eyes-it felt as if they were taunting him, tempting him to lower his guard. He let out a horrified yell and unleashed a blast of the Force, so strong, that it hit his master square in the chest and sent her flying out the window, descending towards the street hundreds of feet below.

He didn't need to hear the sickening crunch of her body to know that Darth Gean, the woman he might have loved once, was dead.

*  *  *

Darth Metus stood before the window through which his master, Darth Gean, had fallen through, trembling with fear and shock. The Rodian Sith Lord was surprised with himself; he had barely enough courage to confront his master head on. No wonder she had named him for his fear.

Metus scrambled to his feet and let out a sigh of relief. At least it's all over, he thought. Or was it?

He nervously looked around his master's former quarters, and began shivering when his bulbous black eyes laid upon the Sith holocron the two of them had found on Korriban. The holocron belonged to the Dark Lord Darth Ruin, a Sith Lord who believed strongly in solipsism.

When Metus viewed the holocron's contents, he was given a taste of Ruin's outlook on life and the Force and was deeply frightened, and was now fearful of the device ever since. Realizing this, Darth Gean tried to use his fear to turn it into anger, but her attempts failed.

Knowing that his master would soon try to get rid of him, Metus sneaked into Gean's quarters and, after a short but brutal conflict, killed the Twi'lek Sith Lord. The last word he heard her say, which was spoken through the Force, was Coward.

And now it appeared Darth Ruin's holocron was suddenly starting to hiss the same thing....

Metus' eyes widened further. Surely it was his imagination...

Fool, the holocron hissed into his mind. Coward. Coward. Coward!

Metus screamed in fear and frustration as he seized the holocron and attempted to throw it out of the window through which Gean had fallen. But, much to the Rodian Sith's horror, the object stuck itself to his hand. 

He shook his hand forcefully, but to no avail. He began to feel a sharp pain in his arm, as if the holocron was sowing its energies into it. Seeing no other way out of his predicament, Metus activated his lightsaber and severed his hand off, causing the holocron to drop to the floor, still glued to the severed hand. 

With a raged yell, Metu kicked the hand and the holocron and sent it flying out the window. He watched it fall to the ground, right next to where his former master laid. 

Breathing another sigh of relief, Metus quickly walked out of the room, planning to never return to it.

*  *  *

"My stars, Jark," the Quarren doctor Kraw muttered, as he examined Metus' handless arm. "What trouble did you get into this time? Looks like your hand got sliced off by a Jedi..."

"You could say that," said Metus, or 'Jark Kenu' as anyone outside of Darth Gean knew him. "I'd...rather not talk about it."

"Find with me," Kraw said as he searched for the tools he needed to make a prosthetitc hand. "By the way, you wouldn't believe what I found this morning! A dead Twi'lek woman, lying face-first on the ground! Looks like she fell out of a hundred-foot high window or something."

Metus glanced around nervously. "R-really...?"

"Yeah!" the Quarren doctor replied. "I also found this next to her body too..."

Kraw reached into his coat and brought out a pyramid-shaped object, glowing with red energy, and with a severed hand attached to it.

Metus screamed.

FIN
