Every day, I wait. Every day, I watch.
And every day, I tend to stop and think. Will my plan succeed? Will it be worth waiting nearly four thousand years to execute a plan that could be doomed to failure?
And every day, I tell myself, Yes, it is defiantly worth it.
Of course, sometimes I can not tell if it's me or someone else talking....
My name is Darth Vorath. And every day, I wait and watch.

My plan is rather...complex. Even I find it complicated at times, and often have to go over it again. Thus, I can not put the details of my plan into mere words.
But in order for the plan to succeed, I need to be alive. And since I do not wish to spend my valuable time searching for ways to be immortal, I have decided to use an alternative; hibernation.
A few years after I became Dark Lord of the Sith (which was nearly three centuries before the Treaty of Coruscant), I formed a Sith Council comprised of rogue warlords left over from Darth Revan's empire, as well as a few Dark Jedi I came across. I then entrusted one of them, whom I trusted the most, to watch over my hibernating body. I would then enter hibernation at least every ten years and exit every twenty, thus preserving my life and allowing me to record history, so I can integrate events into my plan. Of course, I still end up looking like an old relic, but the dark side continues to hold me together.
I'm sure you're wondering, how is history involved with my plan? It is actually quite relatively simple.
Every century, perhaps every decade, I witness the rise and fall of various Dark Lords of the Sith, the interventions of the Jedi, and the struggle of the Republic.
For two centuries after the Sith Triumvirate's collapse, the galaxy was at relative peace, until the reestablished Sith Empire attacked, led by the Emperor Vitiate, a Sith Lord who survived the Old Sith Empire's fall two thousand years previously.
I found Vitiate's schemes and ideals...interesting, to say the least. His perspective was rather unique, as was his plan to eradicate pretty much the entire galaxy. It reminded me a lot of Darth Nihilus' craving for power, consuming planets to satisfy his hunger. Vitiate, of course, took this to...larger extremes.
I eventually grew tired of watching the Sith Emperor execute his schemes, knowing that they would soon be the end of him. After Vitiate's eventual fall, I bore witness to the short reign of Darth Desolous, a fallen Jedi Master who was expelled for delving into Sith teachings. Although the conflict that resulted was rather devastating to the Jedi Order, I hardly found it interesting.
A thousand years later, another conflict would break out, once again caused by a fallen Jedi; Phanius, an Umbaran Jedi Master, who took on the name Darth Ruin when he became Dark Lord of the Sith. Most like Vitiate, Darth Ruin had a rather unique philosophy. Although it is natural for Sith to have large egos, Ruin took his to the extreme. He saw himself as the avatar of the Universe and Life itself.
Needless to say, this view did not make Ruin very popular among his followers for very long.
After Ruin was overthrown and succeeded by one of his apprentices, the New Sith Empire was fully established and the New Sith Wars began. This era gave birth to many Sith Lords with vast egos and large ambitions, such as Lords Odion and Daiman, the latter who had a similar philosophy to Ruin's. I implemented these Sith's goals into my plan, preparing myself in case they succeeded and took over the galaxy.
The wars eventually ended with the demise of Lord Kaan and his Brotherhood of Darkness at the hands of Darth Bane, who has since created a new, secret Sith Order.
As always, I am currently watching Bane and his apprentice conceive plots for their Grand Plan, masking my presence so they do not notice me. And, as always, I will use them for my own plan...
FIN
Note: yes, I am aware Vorath's 'hibernation' plan is similar to Darth Krayt's. In a possible sequel to Star Wars: Destiny, that will be explained.
