	145 ABY – Dominion of Darkness – The Shadow War The Story A hundred and thirty-two years ago... The sands of Korriban ran red with blood. A great and terrible legion combed the land for Sith, be they loyal or of the schismatic Red Sith sect, and an armada threatened to bombard the world into ash if victory was not brought. Wedge-shaped destroyers, round-nosed cruisers and ax-shaped frigates trained their weapons on the surface, an army of monstrosities from ancient times – Kerestians, tu’kata hounds, even a few terentateks – storming Dreshdae and the Valley of the Dark Lords. They were led by the Kiasyd. Monstrous darksiders, determined to usher their own version of darkness upon the galaxy, the Kiasyd have struck at Korriban in a first strike – much as Admiral Daala attacked Yavin 4 as the beginning of her campaign against the New Republic a year prior. And just like that, the forces of the New Sith Order, the Star Destroyers of the Empire Reborn, trapped them, even as armies of wraid and hssiss all roared from the tombs of the Valley at the Dark Lords command to crush the invaders. The Kiasyd retreated, taking their dead with them, so defeated they would never make such an attempt again. But it was not long before the Jedi came – pursuing the Disciples of Ragnos, and the Order was forced to flee, weakened at the key moment when they could have triumphed over the New Republic once and for all. The Red Sith took their own path – and were born anew. The Dominion of Darkness entered into the Dark. --- Ninety-five years ago The man that was known as Darth Mentok was wearied and worn. His faith in the Sith runes that had guided him for so long was but a sheet of flimsi, and they had betrayed him time and time again. But of course, Darth Mentok was a betrayer – so what could he expect? He held the runes in a gloved hand, and looked out into the stars. He had been leading archaeological excursions from the Sith fortress in the Senex sector ever since they had taken it as the Red Sith capital – now the Dominion of Darkness. But his followers had grown lazy and fat in their opulence, and they were turning into nothing more than another typical Sith group; destined to sit in the shadows, and eventually strike in arrogance – and die. The same old fools. Mentok moved his weathered face and looked down at the Sith runes, and considered casting them aside, and just trusting his ship’s next location to the mechanics of the shuttles randomizer – rather than ancient tomes that had betrayed him. He had not been Dark Lord for many years – perhaps he should simply surrender himself to failure. Anger overtook him, and he threw them down, watching them lay in angles and ways that denoted coordinates. He stabbed them into the computer, and jumped. It wasn’t a short jump, no, but a jump which wouldn’t stop unless he hit a planet. Or a star. Or a black hole. Darth Mentok would not live as such a Sith! The shuttle was yanked from hyperspace hours later, and before him a world sung in the dark side of the Force. A world his sensors had thought lost to time. It was the Unknown World. Lehon. Rakata Prime. The lost capital of the ancient Infinite Empire – and it was beautiful. And it was his. --- Forty-five years ago Darth Harestich watched as the fires of vengeance burned down upon the Sith Temple of Nyssa, sadly reflecting on the decades of his rule, usurped from the Dark Lady not long after Mentok’s discovery. With the secrets of Rakata Prime, their Sith Holocrons had bore fruit, filling the Dominion with knowledge and power. With that deepening of the darkness came the inevitable arrogance that Mentok had foreseen, and they struck out into the galaxy, tempted by one Darth Insipid, despite Harestich’s efforts to stem the tide of fools and belligerent idiots. The Dominion had killed billions, but after five years of slow victory, the fools had launched their terrible final assault before its time and were ultimately defeated by the Galactic Alliance, Empire and the Remsi Republic, a triumvirate far too powerful for the Dominion to defeat. Crushed, the survivors were fleeing from Nyssa even now, for the Senex sector, and then to a final rendezvous on Rakata Prime… Harestich turned, as he heard Darth Ventris enter, the tool of his recent successes, and the Dark Lord of Chaos grimaced. His failures were numerous, and his fears that he was simply leading the Dominion to their demise were fulfilled. But Ventris had represented something more – a hope. From the Telos Holocron the past could be connected with, and the future restored. Still absorbed in his failure, Harestich, not even looking at the man, held out his hand for the holocron. Where Insipid had seen the kidnapping of the Jedi Grandmasters partner as a distraction, Harestich had seen it as an opportunity, corrupting the Jedi and blackmailing him into handing over the most treasured of Sith Holocrons. Now Harestich and Riviell could – Snap-hiss. Harestich paid little heed to the man. The Dark Lord of Chaos continued to stare at his failure, the destruction of the Temple and his failure. He finally looked at Darth Ventris as the humming grew closer. “You don’t need to kill me, Ventris. I believe in the Dominion. I was one of those who left the old ways for this path. I only overthrew Mystique because she was a fool. I did nothing for power.” “So you say,” responded Ventris, clearly disbelieving the man. Harestich turned away from the blade, and leaned forward on the table that had his lightsaber lying upon. He knew what had to be done. “I bequeath my title to you. If only so Insipid doesn’t receive it. You are my chosen heir. The only one who cared enough to seize the title, in this, our moment of defeat.” The lightsaber snapped off, and Ventris gestured, slamming the Dark Lord of Chaos into a bulkhead simply because he could, scorn in his voice. “I accept your service.” “Of course you do.” And so, the Dark Lord of Scorn was born. --- Ten years ago Their strike came without warning; a Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer named the Leviathan emerging from hyperspace and launching a swarm of Fury-class fighters and assault ships. The Dominion’s defences were swept aside, and the elite legion of the Sith Emperor Darth Krayt, the Dragons, emerged to smash the Dominion into nothing. As Darth Derkomai watched from the helm of her personal fighter, the legion soared through the skies of Rakata, unleashing their One Sith cargo and the scores of black-armoured Stormtroopers that had been assigned to this secret assault. It was a beautiful, terrible moment – and one which Darth Ventris had been expecting for decades. Ancient defences activated suddenly, weapons that the Dark Lord of Scorn had discovered and slowly rebuilt. A jamming field – the back-up of the weapon that had made Darth Revan’s Star Forge so unstoppable – raised, crippling the mighty Star Destroyer and leaving it drifting, shorting out circuits and life support, and, within a few moments, transforming the Leviathan into a new moon, its mass keeping it in orbit. But Darth Ventris had underestimated the tenacity and speed of the One Sith assault. Most of the legion was down on the ground, thousands of Stormtroopers and hundreds of One Sith marching upon the Sith Temple and shattering the Dominion’s line, forcing them into the forests, even as their ships electronics were fried, trapping them on this world. Darth Derkomai rushed to the edge of the forests, and then, sensing danger in the Force, motioned her soldiers to stop. Several ignored her, as you’d expect of adrenaline filled Sith, and a roar emerged, and several screams. Ah yes… rancor filled forests, creatures which have had four millennia to become feral. So. It appears that the Dark Lord was wrong about these fools. Darth Derkomai spoke aloud. “The real battle has now begun.” Timeline 4 ABY - The Battle of Endor takes place 6 ABY - Dark Jedi from the Empire consolidate a Sith Empire to oppose the Empire and Rebellion, which quickly consumes itself in warfare, retreating to the Senex sector, and, eventually, Korriban, forming into a New Sith Order 12 ABY - Various Dominion schemes involving the Eye of Palpatine and Empire Reborn are defeated soundly 13 ABY - The New Sith fight off a coup, but a separate group forms from the violence; the Red Sith 14 ABY - The Red Sith and New Sith, in the midst of civil war, defeat a Kiasyd invasion shortly before being pushed off the planet as the Disciples of Ragnos and New Jedi Order fight each other. The Red Sith betray the New Sith, retreating to the Senex sector and forming the Dominion of Darkness, the New Sith to Ziost and forming the Acolytes of Darkness. The Dominion goes through a succession of rulers, and reinvents itself many times over 60 ABY - The Dominion of Darkness discovers Rakata Prime and begins consolidating power under Darth Mystique, discovering a half-built Sith Temple on Rakata Prime and the Sith Holocrons of Darth Voren and Ajunta Pall Circa 80 ABY - Darth Harestich deposes Darth Mystique and reforms the Sith Council and a House of Lords 95 ABY - The Dominion emerge from the Senex sector and ally with the Tapani Sector, causing a Force Cold War between the Sith, Empire and Galactic Alliance, enticed into the galaxy by the temptations of Darth Insipid 100 ABY - The Dominion overreaches, and is defeated totally, withdrawing to Rakata Prime and concealing itself under Darth Ventris 127 - 130 ABY - The Dominion, slowly recovering, sends scout into the galaxy as the One Sith conquer the galaxy and depose the Emperor 135 ABY - The One Sith elite legion, the Dragons, discover the location of the Dominion and attack Rakata Prime. Darth Ventris traps the legion on-world with ancient Rakata technology, trapping the two groups together on the planet 137 ABY - The Dragons receive their last communique from the Known Galaxy before being completely cut-off 145 ABY - The Dragons and Dominion continue their engagements and violence, slowly beginning to interact in ways other than in war The Force The Force is to be used with common sense. A Dark Lord will have more powerful abilities than a new apprentice. And someone who has just become a Marauder will not be able to unleash lightning like Darth Sidious. Common sense is the rule of thumb.

	Approved by Sinrebirth and all that jazz. Sith Title: Darth Ventris Name: Tantric Vos Age: 76 Gender: Male Species: Kiffar Planet of Birth: Kiffu Appearance: Tantric stood just taller than six feet and weighed roughly eighty four kilograms. He had olive-hued skin and wore a matted head of dreadlocks. His eyes were the bright orange-red of the corrupted, but that was the only feature that gave his nature away. Tantric took terrific care of his body; making sure his nails and toes were cleaned and cut, and keeping his teeth a brilliant pearly white. He wore all colors of jumpsuits beneath old armor of black Sullust leather, now imbued with the resistant power of the Force. His ankles, legs and feet were wrapped in a canvas-like material. Tantric used the same material to wrap his wrists and hands, as well. In order to give himself the appearance of an aging man, Tantric took to wearing a patchy black cloak. Tantric had the Vos family tattoos on his face and arm. Rank: Dark Lord Weapon Description: A long-handle lightsaber with a dark red blade and a hilt that could shrink in on itself to resemble a traditional lightsaber. Biography: Tantric Vos was born with the power of Psychometry, and immediately destined for a life of servitude to his planet. As a member of Clan Vos, if only indirectly, Tantric had high expectations to meet. His father had taken over as a temporary Sheyf, the year before he was born, and with no sign of a more direct member of the family, it appeared that Tantric would eventually inherit the role. His mother, as deviant as she was, had other plans for the boy, and abandoned her husband to raise Tantric. She taught him how to fight, and about diplomacy, history and literature. And, when he was old enough, she revealed to him her origin as a Jedi. So, he learned the ways of the Force, as well. And, only when Tantric realized that his mother could not satisfy his lust for knowledge, did he abandon her, as she had left his father. Tantric discovered and sought out the Dominion of Darkness, and charmed himself into the ranks. Tantric absorbed everything he could from his Masters, from scrolls and from holocrons. He discovered the art of illusions. He continued combat training, specializing in the unarmed Echani art. Tantric discovered ways to harm the body with the Force, he learned about poisons and trances, both beneficial and otherwise. Tantric, was typical in his quest, but unique in his philosophy. He detached himself from the Sith, working as a lone unit; studying and learning. He did not fully submit himself to the ways of the Sith. And, because of this, he was the only member of the Dominion, at the time, with the foresight to redirect the group. With one Master already inactive, Tantric merely had to throw down the other. The transition was quick and painless, and after the failures of those two, Tantric took the Dominion into the shadows of Lehon. They regrouped and trained, and Tantric acted more as a guide than a Master. He did not preach the necessity of cooperation, but allowed his charges to flourish as individuals. And, as these underlings grew, Tantric recalled the Sith of the past to bolster their ranks. As more and more Sith answered his call, Tantric realized that the Dominion’s presence would not forever escape the notice of the One Sith. He spent several years rebuilding the defenses of the planet. And, when the Dragons attacked, Tantric trapped their troops within the Lehon’s atmosphere, even as they envisioned victory. -----signature----- Signature. Signature. Signature. Signature. Signature!

	Nick Approved! Sith Name: Darth Insipid Name: Aden Kya (originally Aden Lin) Age: Indeterminate – chronologically 138 Gender: Male Species: Human Homeworld: Tallaan/Fondor Physical Description: Pale skinned, turquoise eyed, dark brown haired, tall (but small for his Null heritage), but not especially muscularly bound, nor especially lean, and dark robed, often, but not always Personality: A manipulative individual, constantly seeking a way out of a situation. His objectives are shadowed, and he often seems as if he has no intentions beyond reaping destruction for the sake of it; at the core of his personality is his namesake – the view that everything is weak, and pathetic, and deserves to be his pawn. Rank: Master Lightsaber: Lightwhip, dual-phase green-silver saber, and single crimson saber Additional weapons: Holdout blaster Personal starfighter: Ancient Seinar Blur Force Focus: Telekinesis Mastery and a rudimentary knowledge of Nightsister skills and light knowledge of psychometry. He has mastered the ability to surpass death as a spirit, and to create anchors in many objects, be it objects or unsuspecting people. Dueling Capabilities: Soresu, Makashi knowledge, and a light understanding of Djem So. Additional Information: Had a fancy of Yuuzhan Vong technology and thus can make use of Yuuzhan Vong weapons Bio: Darth Insipid was born as Aden Lin in 7 ABY. His mother abandoned him to rejoin the Empire, and his father abandoned him for a political career designed to spite the Remnant. In 24 ABY, when a teenage act of rebellion cost his father politically, his father dumped him in the slave ranks of Fondor – where Aden took his mothers surname. The Yuuzhan Vong invasion saw Fondor hit hard, and he was captured – his nascent Force sensitivity attracting them to him. A One Sith task force led by his grandmother, Lomi Plo, saved him from the Yuuzhan Vong at end of 25 ABY, the One Sith collecting new acolytes from the chaos, and Aden eventually became Darth Insipid at the end 26 ABY due to a conceit of Darth Krayt, becoming a spy within a Galactic Alliance squadron as a Jensaarai Force user, his faith in Darth Krayt complete – until, following the Battle of Gilatter in 41 ABY, Insipid was recalled from the Alliance and instructed to simply wait. Finally acknowledging that his master intended for his current acolytes to die of old age, Insipid began carefully gathering allies within the court, managing to wrangle enough clout to be freed from Korriban to ascertain the strength of other dark side cults following the emergence of the Lost Tribe of the Sith in 43 ABY. Insipid gathered knowledge from Sith groups such as the Dominion of Darkness and the Maleficarum, and fought off occasional pawns of Darth Krayt that sought to kill him, gaining numerous titles within various groups as part of his ‘mission’. Insipid was openly loyal, and thus Krayt could not strike him down publicly, but when a debate in 65 ABY over a Sith amulet grew violent, Insipid was forced to push his Sith to act, stealing many Holocrons and vanishing into the galaxy, Insipid placing his followers, the Vapid, into stasis. Insipid had matured into a manipulator, and placed himself on Coruscant, hooking himself to the fountain of the Force there. When the Jedi weakened in 95 ABY, he was awoken, and became active for another five years, manipulating the Dominion of Darkness to engage the weakened Jedi and the new Imperial Knights in a Force Cold War, making an attempt to crush the One Sith by revealing their existence – this was a failure, but it allowed Insipid to manipulate the course of the next great conflict in advance, the remnants of the Dominion withdrawing to the Unknown Regions, and he himself returning into stasis in 100 ABY. Awakening in 124 ABY, Insipid began activating pawns. Dark Jedi, Sith, simple darksiders with nothing else to lose – every individual he’d ever met he recruited, or simply nudged to the frontline. He rejoined the One Sith, smiling as he did so, his faction of Sith joining him, cajoling Darth Krayt forward, into revealing themselves as early as he could. And so, in 128 ABY, Darth Krayt crushed Insipid into dust. And, within a year, the Vapid were all dead or driven into exile, and their Holocrons recovered - often personally by the Dragon of the Sith. His threat was ended. But the Sith Lord survived, with the fountain of knowledge he had gathered allowing him to go beyond death – to become a spirit. It took him years to assemble the knowledge, and it had paid off – now he was as close to immortal as he could be. Finally, with the completion of his plans in the Unknown Regions, he returned to a body, content in his mastery and his mission. He rejoined the Dominion of Darkness with Darth Ventris' permission in 133 ABY and helped make them stronger than before, gave them strength to recover - but it wasn't long before a scouting mission into the heart of the known galaxy led the Dragons to Lehon. Any distrust of Darth Insipid has been offset by his abilities - his telekinesis has saved more than one Sith, and although he often appears distant - to the point that occasionally he cannot be felt within the Force by his allies at all - he has proven himself to his allies - though they still rarely trust him. Everyone knows he has a plan - and he always does... -----signature----- Darth Insipid Proud Fan of the Tragedy of Jacen Solo Missing Chapters of Invincible; Teaser of Chapter 9.5 is up!

	APPROVED BY NICK! Sith Title: Darth Xymox Name: Norm Tozia Age: 22 Gender: Male Species: Near-Human Planet of Birth: Rakata Prime Appearance: --- Height: 1.77m --- Build: Nearly under-weight, and though he can run very well, he lacks physical strength --- Clothing: Unusually well-dressed, with high collared shirts, vest and long coats, pants usually tucked into knee high, buckling flight boots. --- Hair: Naturally black hair, with a red tipped ‘death hawk’ --- Eyes: Hazel-green eyes, with four tattooed dots under each eye; eyes are narrow and thin. --- Other: Couple of piercing in each ear; one in his lips; very fair-skinned, with a tiny tint of blue, almost as if he was a corpse; his lips are also unusually thin and dark; fingers are nearly a centimeters longer than an average human, and his nails come to a point; has smallish, pointed teeth compared to a normal human. Rank: Marauder Weapons Description: --- Lightsaber: Solid onyx hilt, with four sharp points coming off the end, crimson blade (belonged to his mother) --- Secondary Weapons: A three-barreled, slug throwing handgun, fires three 16mm explosive rounds (one from each chamber), manually reloaded, slung at his side with a shoulder holster; Verpine shatter rifle with range finding scope. --- Blades: Six small throwing daggers, attached to his boots. Personal Transport: An SoroSuub WLZ-202 Air Coach he calls the Corpus Delicti, onyx finish Biography: Norm Tozia was born to a Sith mother and an unknown father. He has long suspected his father was an off-worlder, and perhaps even a non-Force user. His mother vanished eleven years ago, and he assumes was killed by fellow Sith who had long considered her weak and unfit to be a Sith warrior (a reputation he still carries himself). Initially he began plans to hunt down and murder those behind her killing, but the arrival of the One Sith disrupted this plan. He went through his teen years extremely cold and introspective, and grew into a fierce hunter with limited mastery of the Force. Regardless of any accomplishments, he received a cold shoulder from the rest of the Sith clan, at the verge of being an outcast. Darth Xymox is very studious and analytical. He has a fondness for Dusk music and meditates on becoming more in tune with the natural world. Despite his standing within the Sith, he is known to provide some of the best intelligence on the movement and actions of the One Sith forces. He often operates alone as a scout and hunter. -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/before_the_saga/b10475/30387587/p1 A New Dawn Fades - A Wolatarian Story http://boards.theforce.net/role_playing_forum/b10328/30401245/p1 Shadowplay - Clone Wars Era RPG http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Wolatarians

	Mother Tested, Sinrebirth Apporved OOC: Please note that the existence of the ship, and Avarice's Lord Title are only known to him and Insipid. Sith Title: Darth Avarice Name: Darth Avarice's real name no longer exists, his alias however, is Aravesque Age: 95 Gender: Male Species: Koudminshu Planet of Birth: Naboo Appearance: Avarice stands at six feet in height, with long black hair, blue eyes, and his races (and related races) trademarked pointed ears. Different from his attire of the Force Cold War, which consisted of suits, Avarice wears black robes, with black and gold trimmed leather accessories. His skin is a greyish colour, an effect of delving into the darkside more so then it being a natural skin colour for his race. He was born rather pale. Rank: Arbiter (Public) Lord of Terror (Secret) Weapon Description: Two lightsabers, of identical hilts. One of which was almost always applied as the handle of a cane so he could move about without his lightsaber noticed. This is also so he can use it as a disciplinary weapon to those under him, and as a blunt melee weapon when he's not in the mood to kill, though was been known to have killed on man with the cane at one point. He also owns an ornate Dagger, this is primarily a torture tool. Finally he has a Pistol and a decent stash of ammo that he acquired during the Force Cold War. Biography: Avarice was the, at one point, psychotic apprentice of Darth Insipid. A man truly devoted to Insipid's cause and forever faithful to his Lords will even beyond death. During the events known primarily as "The Force Cold War" Avarice was one of Insipid's hands. He participated in the Destroying of Worlds plot, and was mostly responsible for the killing of the Senate on that day. Following this he assisted in creating the Imperial Civil War, by installing a puppet Emperor. Following the defeat at Nyssa Avarice remained by Insipid's side, perhaps his closest aid, and a true partner. Avarice's biggest usefulness is his age, his race ages very slowly, and as such Avarice is, and was, Insipid's hand while the Sith Lord was in stasis. He also has the ability to carry Insipid's plan and will for hundreds or thousands of years, baring unforeseen issues. To this point Avarice has been trained to be a weapon, a secret weapon. He carries the trappings of an average Arbiter, in strength and in power, but has been as capable of any Lord for nearly half a century. To this effect Insipid bestowed upon Avarice, in secret, the title Lord of Terror. Even now at this point on Lehon he remains a part of Insipid's plan, complete with the capability to leave at any time he needs to. Additional Info: Avarice owns the DeepWater-class ship Black Abyss this ship is as much a part of Insipid's plans as Avarice and has been customized with systems allowing it to operate its engines and life support systems inside the Lehon Dampening field. To this effect it is hidden underwater at a secret location. -----signature----- "Might have been the losing side, still not convinced it was the wrong one." - - Not all heroes are pure

	NickLitMeAnApproval Sith Title: Darth Verrick Name: Janus Karn Age: Biologically around 50, Chronologically unknown Gender: Male Species: Human Planet of Birth: Naboo Appearance: Rank: Lord of Variance Weapon Description: 1 red lightsaber (right hand) 1 silver lightsaber (left hand) 2 modified Mandalorian heavy blasters 1 modified Zabrak Battle Cannon Biography: Early Life Janus was born on Naboo, being the youngest sibling of two sisters and one brother. He was given to the Jedi Order as a young child, but maintained connections with his family, despite disapproval from masters of the Order. His father was a politically motivated writer for the Naboo news and his mother was a high-ranking officer for the Naboo Army. His brother became a soldier in the Naboo Army, and both his sisters joined the scientific pursuits. Noble Jedi Knight He became an apprentice in the Jedi Order, impressing the Jedi with his skills with both lightsabers and blasters. Being a stealth based fighter, He was sent on ops missions and assassinations. Being proficient in engineering, he was well equipped to destroy enemy technology, which, along with this stealth, made him perfect for search and destroy. He continued rising in the Jedi Order, attaining a rank of Jedi Knight at the age of 23. But that all changed when his brother, a soldier for the Naboo army was killed by the order of the High Council during a planetary conflict. Janus felt at betrayed by the Jedi. He secretly left the Order, where friends covered up his actions. No much else is known by the Sith about his time as a Jedi. Outcast Wandering the galaxy for two years, he went from planet to planet, working as a hired mercenary. It was then that he discovered his aptitude for electricity. He needed a place to train, train in the arts of the Dark Side. He felt a calling to Ziost, where he centered himself and found his true calling: the Sith Order. He then left to join the Sith Order. The Sith Arriving on Lehon, he joined the Sith Order under Darth Mystique. Under the tutelage of Darth Mystique, then Dark Lady of the Sith, he rose from the rank of Apprentice to the rank of Marauder, taking the name Darth Verrick. Once he became a Marauder, he became a warrior for the Sith. He created the "tech room" of Order inside an old comms room of the Rakatan Temple. Once Darth Harestich took control of the Dominion of Darkness, Verrick left the Dominion. He did not want to be there when Harestich, knowing he was a Mystique Loyalist, would no doubt try to kill him. The One Sith He resumed his wandering ways until he went into hiding into a force-strong building in Ziost. He wanted to train and did not want to be disturbed. The passage of time was not known to him in there, for the force prevented it, which was good because he wanted his full focus on training. However, he was found by Darth Insipid in 127 ABY, and realized that he did not age significantly. Insipid, knowing his departure from the Dominion, briefed him on galactic events. He joined Insipid in his plan to enter the One Sith and join Darth Krayt's bid for the Galactic Throne. However, once Krayt defeated Insipid, Verrick fled, returning to the building in Ziost which had served him so well. Once he felt he had trained enough, he left Ziost. He felt a call to return to Lehon, for the Dominion was in danger... Sith Lord He returned to Lehon in 140 ABY, once again being called Rakata Prime by the Sith, to find the place in fierce battle. The servants of Krayt were fighting the Dominion. He knew he would have to rejoin the Dominion. He was re-accepted as Arbiter by the new Dark Lord, Ventris, and upon training new recruits, became the Lord of Variance. He was a Sith Lord, but also a tech specialist. His abilities in that realm served the Dominion well, for they had to have the utmost technological advantage against the "Dragons," as Krayt's servants were called. It was now 145 ABY, and the Lord of Variance, along with the Dominion, was determined to stop the Dragons from destroying them. Personality: Verrick is not very philosophical.

	Approved by NickLitYouAFlame Sith Title: Palior Name: Veto Dainx Age: 21 Gender: male Species: humanoid Planet of Birth: Coruscant Appearance: -Hair: light blue, short -Eyes: blackened grey and thickly lashed -Complexion: ivory -Build: wiry and firm despite under-weightness -Height: 1.725 -Attire: normal Sith attire Rank: Marauder Weapon Description: regular red lightsabre and several laser pistols Personality: Veto is extremely cautious and inquisitive. He is a defiant individual, and doesn't bow down to anything unless it is completely reasonable and safe to or if he's being forced to. However, he also has a sense of uncertainty he couldn't shake. Despite the Sith's teachings, he somehow managed to preserve a sense of inward humour. Biography: -Ages 0-5: Veto was born on Coruscant, where his parents ran a holobook store that the family slept upstairs of. He was the oldest child, and he liked being the third most powerful person in the family. When he turned three, the family got another member, his baby sister. Tragically, two years later, his parents got into a speeder-crash, which killed his mother and left his father crippled, so Veto was in charge, much to his childish dismay. -Ages 5-7: In this time, as the unofficial man-of-the-house, he had matured remarkably, almost abnormally. His father helped whenever possible and took his place at home when Veto had to go off to school, but all of them knew that this couldn't last long. -Ages 8-9: His father slipped and fell in the refresher, and died of a broken neck. Veto was aghast and his sister terrified. He did his best to give his dad a decent funeral and with what dignity he had, he sold the store. With the money they had, they set of to find their uncle, who neither of them had met but both had known about. They had hardly idea where he was, except that he was in the Outer Rim, but they knew it was their only chance, as they've heard the rumours about the orphanage, and Veto was never going to let that happen to his sister, who he had come to love deeply. They managed to hitch-hike with a cargo shipper to Naboo. -Age 10: A very eventful age for him. He and his sister had searched far and wide for their uncle, and finally found him on-board a freighter. Their uncle was unlike anything they'd expected. He was bitter and uninterested in his niece and nephew, but he gave them money and passage to a friend of his. They set off for the friend, but the freighter they were on happened to be transporting something valuable, and it was attacked by space pirates. His sister was killed as the pirates boarded the ship, and Veto lost his senses. The bold ten year old was infuriated, and he broke the leader of the pirates' neck in one forceful shove, stunning all on-board, including a Sith, who's been keeping tabs on him the whole ride due to his connection to the Force. The Sith pounced on this opportunity and persuaded the boy the join the Sith, and the boy, his resolve in pieces and his future hopeless, complied. -Ages 11-now: He's been training as a Sith, and he's done fairly well, yet sometimes he questions his decision on that ship. -----signature----- Do you like yogurt?

	Sinre approved Sith Title: Darth Bursyrkr Name: Piotir Derridd Age: 30 Gender: Male Species: Human Planet of Birth: Kuan Appearance: ---Skin Color: Pale (Darkside Corruption) ---Hair Color: Black ---Eye Color: Red-Orange (Darkside Corruption) ---Clothing: The armored robes formerly belonging to that of a Blackguard Wilder, which was a sect of Dark Jedi on Mustafar during the Galactic Civil War. ---Other Attributes: Pointed Goatee. Long slicked back hair. Muscular/athletic build. Squarish chin and chiseled facial features. ---Other Details: Has a few random scars across his body, mainly on his back. during the Galactic Civil War. Rank: Marauder Weapon Description: Lightsaber: -----Blade(s): Normal length -----Color(s): Crimson -----Handle Description(s): Dark Gunmetal, straight, slightly compact hilt. Other weapons: Repeating blaster pistol Biography: Piotir Derridd lived a life of relative hardship. He was conceived after his mother was raped, by the man who would ironically raise him through most of his life. His mother died in childbirth, and he was thus orphaned from birth, eventually picked up by his biological father ten years later. His childhood was all but gone at that point however, his father having only adopted him so he could do manual labor for him on his Nerf Ranch, essentially being enslaved. To top it all off, he was abused. Whenever he didn't do something right, he was whipped with a nerf prod, contributing to the many scars on his back. However, by the time he was 17 years old, Piotir had enough. In a confrontation with his father, he accidentally force pushed him onto the top of the Ranch's fence, which was electrically shielded, thus electrocuting his father to death. Piotir, finally free, ran away from home, in his father's freighter, vowing to never return again. Eventually, Piotir came across an unknown pyramid shaped artifact, that somehow he was drawn to. This was a Sith Holocron. Upon activating the holocron, the sith spirit who created the holocron appeared before him, who not only sensed his force ability, but his and anger and suffering. This spirit, was Darth Insipid, who saw great potential for him as a Sith, and took him as his apprentice, under one condition. Piotir was to help Insipid with the process of returning to a corporeal body. In 133 ABY, Insipid entered a body "made available" by Piotir, and then the two of them, Master and Apprentice, joined the Dominion of Darkness. After a while, Insipid helped Piotir come to realize what power he had, but deep down inside, he craved more. Eventually, two years later, the Dominion came under attack by the One Sith. In the fighting, Piotir proved himself to be quite the formidable warrior, even for an apprentice. It wasn't long before he was made a Marauder, in 140 ABY, at the age of 25. Now, with both groups beginning to grow weary of the fighting, Piotir isn't showing any signs of it, his thirst for power being sated by the blood of his enemies...

	APPROVED!!! Sith Title: Momo Name: Mo Kata-Kata Age: 359 Gender: Male Species: Pau'an Planet of Birth: Utapau Appearance: Gold jacket and grey pants with a black belt. He looks like any pau'an except he's darker, almost black, and wears yellow shades. He's tall, but his body is in top physical shape. Not bulky, but extremely fit to the point of being ripped. Rank: Marauder Weapon Description: Double bladed lightsaber. (Red) Biography: Momo is an old guy. He used to be a Jedi Knight during the Old Republic, but during a mission, apparantly went missing. The jedi had always thought that Mo was normal, as he was truly dedicated to the cause, and though they had noticed that Mo does things at random, this was highly unexpected. Search parties were sent out for him, but he was never found. It so happens that while on the mission, Momo discovered that he did not want to be a Jedi anymore and, instead, wanted to spend his days gambling and chasing women. He did so. For over 100 years. Momo then decided he wanted to pursue the Force once again, built himself a lightsaber, and went off to find a band that shared his interest. He found the DoD when he crash landed on the planet 50 years ago. On a whim, like everything he does, he joined them with a wink and a smile. It seems like something that could really last for him. Until something better comes along. While he has the role of Marauder, Mo has mastered the basics of the Force, but excels in lightsaber and melee combat. His physical form gives him an edge over any opponent, the Force only aiding an already capable duelist. His Force potential is average and this is on a good day. -----signature----- "I don't believe in Mayans." - Imperial_Hammer Alderaan chunks everywhere! Shep Smith ain't no hater!

If you are a moderator and you are reading this, feel free to edit-remove the CS above. Thanks! Also, I want to give credit to Kahn_Iceay for helping me integrate the character(s) into the ABYverse and TES IV: Oblivion / Mass Effect for their IP ideas. Sith Title: Lady Nox Name: Aeria Sandria Carcalla Age: 25 Gender: Female Race: Echani-Mandalorian Hybrid (Genetically Engineered / Test-Tube Baby) Planet of Birth: Near the Outer Rim on FEV Sovereign (Eshan-Class Cargo Ship converted into a Ariake Technologies Genetic Laboratory) Appearance: - Height: 5’ 10” - Build: Slightly Muscular and Curvy - Clothing: “Knight of Nox” Armor --- Handcrafted by herself with the help of Echani Scientists --- Forged from a Plasteel/Durasteel/Obsidian mixed material, surfaced with a shiny onyx metal finish and inlaid with a durable cortosis weave --- Versatile design for good, sleek Echani armor look and style but also sly practicality with hidden areas to holster small pistols and convenient areas to holster lightsabers or blades --- Custom made for Aeria including a unique hood and signature mask - Skin: Slightly Pale Peach White - Hair: Silvery Gray - Eyes: Azure Blue - Tattoo: Right Arm has a small Ariake Technologies logo on it with experiment number Face: Hood: Rank: Apprentice (Advanced Level) Weapon Description: - 1x Red-Bladed Lightsaber (Main Weapon) --- Special Echani-Enhanced Elongated Blade, Elongated Sliver Hilt w/ Black Grips (Classic Darth Vader-like Style) - 1x Echani Curved Vibrokatana --- Cortosis-weaved blade --- Curved design --- Onyx Black Finish with Metal Decals - 2x Mikaru Corporation Type 703 Hand Blasters w/ a good stock of ammunition Starship: - Mikaru Shipwright Star Fury-Class Starfighter (The Isolated One) --- Painted all Onyx Black with Amber Gold Decals Droid: --- Industrial Automaton R9-X2 Astromech Droid “Blacky” Biography: Aeria was born from the experimental project, dubbed “Project Nox,” The Free Echani Alliance's response to countless Artificial Force User projects stemming from the Force Cold War. The Echani, having separated themselves from the GFFA following the events of 100 ABY, saw the need to bolster their military capabilities to match those of other galactic organizations. So they utilized an idea of biologically engineering a super breed of Echani that held the best traits of their species, and natural Force Sensitive abilities. Therefore, several Echani investors and government officials decided to execute the project into the hands of Ariake Technologies, an official Echani genetic enhancement firm, in partnership with the Mikaru Corporation, the Echani's largest Military contractor. The man assigned with this audacious task was the popular, retired military adviser and genetic scientist, Arbiter Gaius Morganus Carcalla, who founded Ariake Technologies and has worked extensively with the members of the Mikaru Corporation in previous projects. For Arbiter Carcalla, he found this project to be very useful for a personal, secretive project that he always wanted to attempt. Unknowing from the Free Echani Alliance and the executive board of the Mikaru Corporation, Arbiter Carcalla is really in fact Arbiter Darth Praetorius, who serves with the Sith Dominion of Darkness. Praetorius realized that using his alter-ego to accept the project and task his company to work on this project with all the supplies, ships, teams, privacy and funding that was granted to him from Mikaru Corporation and the FEA, he could take advantage of “Project Nox” and instead, attempt to create a Sith Elite Soldier for the Dominion that is capable of countering Darth Krayt’s One Sith Elite Legions. Therefore, masquerading as Carcalla, he took the project and ordered the research to be done on the FEV Sovereign, a modified Eshan-Class Cargo Ship that was converted into one of many top-secret Ariake Genetic Laboratories. While with a loyal team of scientists, Carcalla started to work on the project near the Outer Rim. He realized that in order to express all the best traits of the Echani while in addition of adding Force-Sensitivity, it required him to add two samples of genetic material from other species. The first sample is required to be a non-Echani humanoid, whose material must meld with the existing Echani material to mark out all the best Echani trait used for gene expression. The other sample is required for guaranteed Force-Sensitivity and must be from an existing Force-Sensitive humanoid. Praetorius (Carcalla) soon used a sample of a recently deceased human Mandalorian, whose genetic traits are related to the legendary Ordo clan and his own genetic material to grant the Force-sensitivity and merged it with the sterile Echani embryos. After many errors and alterations to the merging process, Praetorius and his top Ariake scientists were able to produce two embryos. During his research, Praetorius kept getting pressured by the Mikaru Corporation to hand over details of his research. In order to keep his true intentions hidden, he often falsified his reports and tried to keep both the Mikaru Corporation and the FEA with a false sense of euphoria and off guard. However when he is assured that the resulting embryos are good, he decided to keep one for himself and his experiment. The two embryos are of different gender, one’s a female and the other male. Knowing that the Echani would prefer to have the male one, he took the female embryo. However before heading back to Eshan and handing over the male embryo, Praetorius re-melded the embryo with some sterile solutions, causing the genetic expression of all the traits in the male embryo to be still superior over an average Echani, but not as strong as his research produced on the female one. He also removed all physical feature traits of Mandalorian from the embryo, to ensure that the appearance of the male embryo in the future will look Echani. With the project a success in the eyes of the FEA and Mikaru Corporation, who will continue the research and nurturing on the “crippled” male embryo, Praetorius went back to his female embryo. He requested one of his Echani mistresses to become a surrogate mother for the embryo. After nine months in anticipation, the mother gave birth in-vitro to the baby in 120 ABY. Praetorius started at it and noticed that her face looks like the same face as his sister’s when she was born. In honor of his sister, who died during the Yuzhang Vong Wars, he named her Aeria Sandria. As a result of the melding from the Ordo-inherited Mandalorian material, Praetorius material and the donor Echani egg, Aeria has lost only one Echani feature and gained some Mandalorian strength. Her eyes are azure blue, the same eye color as the Mandalorian, instead of the typical Echani silver and she tend to be more muscular and curvier than average female Echanis, also a result from the Mandalorian merging. However this loss was minor as Aeria was Force-sensitive, has all the Echani physique and intelligence (with an additional bonus of strength and endurance from the Mandalorian genes as well), and most of all, a will just a powerful as Praetorius himself, due to the part of also adding in material from Praetorius’s own body. For the next 14 years, Aeria was trained by day as an Echani, learning to fight as an Echani and lived the life as a female Echani with Praetorius protecting her and being there for her as a father and mentor. At the same time during the nights over her schooling, Praetorius meticulously spent lots of time, energy and effort to help the young Aeria master the Force and the Sith Arts. To cover her mixed Echani-Mandalorian look, Aeria eventually adopted wearing hoods and most of the time wore intricate eye masks, which eventually became a signature of her armor and appearance. When Aeria turned 15, she became one of the most powerful Echani’s ever trained, due in part to her genetically enhanced traits. At the same time, Praetorius has successfully trained her to become also a formidable Sith Warrior, combining her excellent use of Echani melee mastery with many forms of Lightsaber combat. The same year, Praetorius decided it was time to present his experiment and prototype to the Council of Lords on Lehon. Before heading out, he re-organized the logistics of Ariake Technologies and handing a good deal of daily executive power to his corporate second. With his loyal development team of scientists, he merged a small fleet of corporate ships, including the FEV Sovereign, containing massive amounts of supplies, equipment, weaponry, materials, belongings and other vital necessities on board over 3 Eshan-Class Cargo Ships (Sovereign is considered one), 2 Katakana-Class Battlecruisers, 312 Star Fury-Class Starfighters, 312 Star Hawk-Class Interceptors, 78 Shadow-Class Starfighters, and 12 Kubaza-class Droid Fighters to Lehon to present Aeria. When he arrived to show Aeria to the Council of Lords, The Council of Lords were skeptical with Arbiter Praetorius, as his ambitions and the project might have the chance of not working out and cause harm to the Dominion, but Praetorius ensured that Aeria was the wave of the future for the success of the Dominion. The Council reluctantly agreed to further training and testing of Aeria’s capabilities. As the series of tests issued by the Council started, Darth Krayt’s One Sith Empire attacked Lehon and the Dominion. With such a strike occurring so sudden, the tests were delayed and halted. Knowing that his work and future was at stake, Praetorius decided to help set up the defense systems around the enclave but convinced the Council to give Aeria a chance to use her to combat the Elite Legions with the rest of the rank and file. Praetorius knew this was a risk, but Aeria, being a little shaken and scared, knew that her father trusted her abilities. She agreed and went with the Council’s rank and file to fight. The attack came and gone. The Dominion successfully stopped the attacks but at the cost of being trapped inside Lehon. Praetorius managed to get his most valuable team and the Sovereign land on Lehon, but at the cost of most of his other ship totally destroyed by the bombardment from Darth Krayt’s ships. The Sovereign was badly damaged when it landed, but the team and most of the cargo on board remained intact and safe. Only a dozen of the hundreds of starfighters from the little fleet made it to the ground with the Sovereign before the lockdown. That is what’s left of Praetorius’s fleet. However, the core of his project remained. Praetorius still had the Sovereign and its power. For Aeria, she returned alive, but she was badly injured. However considering the number of Elite Legions she faced with the rank and file, the Council finally believed in Praetorius and his creation. Aeria was able to be a formidable counter against Krayt’s ruthless Legions. In these times of conflict, The Council gave Praetorius their approval and hopes that work can be started to clone more and further to enhance Aeria. Praetorius agreed and Aeria was recognized. For the next decade, Aeria became a valuable member in the Dominion and Praetorius was regarded to be a vital member for the development of Dominion technology. As the decade looms on in war, Aeria’s tales starts here and for Praetorius, more work needs to be done. -----signature----- I socially dislike Lord_Vivec.

	Nick approved Sith Title: (Darth) Pelandra Name: Pelandra Harrn Age: 28 Gender: Female Species: Human Planet of Birth: Bestine IV Appearance: Rank: Rankless (Red Sith have no ranks. She is functionally equivalent to an average strength Sith) Weapon Description: Single blade lightsaber (ice blue), blaster pistol Biography: Pelandra is the direct grand-daughter of the Red Sith leader, (Darth) Mentok. Right before Mentok discovered Rakata Prime, he had relations with a Kuati noblewoman named Casmara Haarn. When Mentok took leave of her to go on another "mission", she was forced to bear his child alone. Luckily for Casmara, she was quite wealthy, and was able to give birth to a daughter, which she named Menalisa. Menalisa soon was joined by more siblings as Casmara remarried to a wealthy Kuati businessman, and she soon became "the illegitimate child." In such a conservative and restrictive society as Kuat, this made Menalisa's life very difficult. Upon growing of age, she left for the aquafarming world of Bestine IV, where she would not be judged or known. She met a nice farmer there, settled down, and had an extensive family, of which Pelandra was also the eldest. The force was with Pelandra, just as it was with Menalisa, despite her efforts to ignore or suppress it. Unlike her mother, however, Pelandra embraced her force sense. This caused no small amount of discord between the two women. When Pelandra became of age, she set out to learn about her enigmatic, force using grandfather. She began a life of wandering, much like Mentok did so many years ago. She retraced his steps, eventually finding Mentok's original lightsaber on Korriban and a few scattered writings along the way. She took to her grandfather's Red Sith ideology enthusiastically, and now arrives on Rakata Prime to see what became of her grandfather's body and his legacy. She is less skilled than most Sith when it comes to "traditional" Sith force-skills, but more skilled when it comes to Runes and Alchemy, traditional Red Sith areas of expertise. -----signature----- In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl.

	Nick approved! [image= http://ffxihaven.ffshrine.org/art/renders/ff11-humef2.jpg ] Name: Darth Ardeur Age: 52 Species: Human Gender: Female Appearance: Tall, blonde long hair normally worn back in a ponytail. Blue eyes, slim, muscular build. Has a scar that runs down her right cheek. Allegiance: Sith Weapons: Red lightsaber Unknown home planet, Ardeur was found by the Sith at a young age. She was raised on Korriban at the Sith academy and thus Ardeur knows only how to fight and be a Sith. She trained next to Darth Insipid as they were growing up frequently sparring against him and conspiring their takeover of the Sith together. A bond formed between the two and he could not resist her beauty and ability to draw men to her. The two were lovers until after Insipid’s plan to put them in stasis and appear later in time when the Sith were more powerful. Ardeur was put in stasis against her will, resenting Insipid’s selfishness to keep her at his side. Upon returning to the galaxy, Ardeur fled from Insipid’s grasp when the two rejoined Darth Krayt’s Sith. Darth Krayt quickly utilized Ardeur’s skills at stealth and treachery in the fight against the Jedi and Imperial Knights in 128 ABY. During the Battle of Bastion, Ardeur struck down the mighty Lowbacca, causing the tide of the battle to change in favor of the Sith. Darth Insipid soon failed Darth Krayt, leading to his death and the defection of Ardeur to another side of the fight. She joined a cunning Verpine known as Xaare, who intended to use the war to implement and cover up his own ideas for taking over areas of the galaxy. Unbeknownst to Ardeur, Insipid had anchored part of himself to her, causing him to continue to ‘survive’ even after being killed. The betrayal of this infuriated Ardeur who refused to listen to Insipid’s suggestions. Ardeur fought against another of Insipid’s pawns, Darth Idoneus, while on the Steadfast, leading to the ship’s destruction, but escaping in an evacuation pod as she ordered the ship to ram the enemy. Idoneus followed her pod but fought Xaare - Idoneus believing he succeeded. The destruction of the two was reported galaxy-wide, but at the last minute Ardeur had activated the pod’s defenses and micro-jumped away from the area, saving herself and the Verpine. From there, Ardeur spent several years with Xaare continuing to help him build up his army against the Sith and the Empire. When news of Darth Krayt’s death reached Ardeur, she decided it was time to return to the Sith to reclaim what was hers. A council was formed for the Sith, who referred to themselves as the Dominion of Darkness. Ardeur’s knowledge and prowess shown during 128 ABY garnered her stature befitting her years. Ardeur was appointed to the council and for now, is content to stay there. She was off-world when Krayt discovered the base of the Dominion, and she continued her own campaign against Krayt with the few Dominion scouts that were free to do so. In 137 ABY when Insipid returned physically to the galaxy, he hunted down Ardeur. Through an unpleasant confrontation that almost resulted in both their deaths, Insipid revealed a useful skill which he promised to give to Ardeur if she would stop her tirade and not kill him. Ardeur consented and there learned the ability to transfer her conscious between bodies. Thus Ardeur is able to be the Dark Lady of the Acolytes of Darkness and also be on the council of the Dominion of Darkness. One day she hopes to utilize her loyal Sith forces to take over and unite all the Sith in the galaxy. Being used as a killing machine for most of her life has hardened Ardeur’s heart into an ice cold ball. She would sooner strike you down if you step out of line than to deal with your mistakes. Her fury and ability to back it up has made her revered and feared as the years pass. -----signature----- Corran Horn is mine. Get used to it.

	I fully realize that his post is late in its arrival, and I apologize for that. Now, at the point, the game has begun! Tantric Vos, in the guise of Tantric Vos Private Chambers, Rakatan Temple, Lehon It had become commonplace for Tantric to sleep restlessly, in the last few years. His mind worked like a factory, processing information even as he slept. His dreams were muddled with calculations and schemes. Schemes of his allies, for he had none. Or, none that he would admit to, rather. Tantric had always been one to play dumb, a trait instilled in him by his mother, more than half a century ago. His thoughts had always been his own. Tantric sat up in his bed, and swung his feet over the edge. His toes touched cold marble. Tantric pushed himself up from the bed. He glanced at the wall; at his staff. Tantric walked the short length of his five by seven meter chamber, to his conjoining refresher. He stripped down, removing his brown and blue jumpsuit, and stepped into the shower. The water was scalding, and Tantric felt as if his flesh was peeling off his muscles. It was rejuvenating, in a way. Tantric was no stranger to pain. --- Tantric grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist, before leaving the shower. He grabbed another, smaller, towel and dried his long braids. Tantric shaved, quickly, nicking his neck, and then washed his face. Then, he stopped and stared back at his eyes. The iris was a deep, powerful orange. The whites were stained a pale red, from sleep deprivation. Tantric leaned towards the mirror. He looked at himself for several minutes, before turning his eyes blue. Natural. Tantric swallowed, and turned away from his reflection. As he walked back into his bedroom, his eyes faded back to orange. --- Drawers flew open in anticipation of Tantric’s touch, as he walked towards his dresser. He grabbed a light blue jumpsuit from one, and a roll of his canvas wrap from another. He pulled the jumpsuit on under his towel, and then let it drop from around his body. Tantric zipped the suit up to his neck. He rewrapped his hands, wrists and ankles with the canvas, to prevent stress on a body already strained by decades of combat. Tantric sat on the floor, and began his morning workout routine. --- An hour later, with sweat dripping from his hair, Tantric emerged from his chambers, fully suited in his leather armor, and covered by his iconic black cloak. In Tantric’s right hand, was his staff; a metal lightsaber hilt nearly as tall as him. Tantric ambled, aided by the staff, through the temple’s main hall. He was Darth Ventris, again. --- While wandering the temple, Ventris was approached by a young Rodian that the Dark Lord recalled as Tol Skoza. Tol, an apprentice, bowed before Ventris. Ventris rolled his eyes. It was too early for formalities. Ventris asked, “How can I help you, Tol?” Tol spoke quickly, stuttering, “My Lord, forgive me for interrupting your… you. The weapon master is dueling Momo again; refusing to teach until he defeats him.” Ventris smiled at the thought. Darth Rabic had been trying to best the old Pau’an ever since he joined the Dominion. Ventris nodded at the Rodian. He understood the situation. “I’ll speak with Rabic later. In the meantime, I’d like you to go collect Lady Nox and locate Darth Xymox. He’ll be in the jungle. Somewhere…” Tol looked like he wanted to ask something, but Ventris was already walking away. He had prior engagements. --- Darth Rabic - Locke Legon Exterior Training Ring, Rakatan Temple, Lehon Light streamed past cross beams, creating a halo around Darth Rabic’s blonde hair. Rabic had to look up, to look at the being before him, but what he lacked in height, Rabic made up for in width. And, persistence. This would be the fifth time that Rabic, one of the Dominion’s weapon masters, fought Momo. The rivalry had began, at least for Rabic, the day that Momo was tested before the House of Lords. The human Sith had been instructed to determine the alien’s skill with a lightsaber. Momo had fought Rabic to a stalemate, becoming the first to do so outside of the weapon masters. Rabic had experimented with several different styles, and often switched between them, in hopes of surprising Momo, to no avail. It was today that Rabic completely changed the rules. Momo was one of many Sith to fight with a double-lightsaber, but few ever reached his level of expertise. One who had, was Rabic, though he rarely displayed it. In this case, Rabic was willing to go against the book. He ignited his weapon, crimson blades sliding into existence, and stepped towards Momo. Rabic held the lightsaber in one hand, and raised his finger at his opponent. Rabic growled, “Care to test your luck again, fool?” Tag: blubeast1237 --- Tol Skoza Main Hall, Rakatan Temple, Lehon Tol stood in the center of the largest room in the temple, hoping to see Nox immediately. That he couldn’t find was, in some way, a blessing, though. Nox was beautiful, and Tol was bumbling idiot around females. Even non-Rodian females. If only they were on the battlefield. Then, Nox would see the real Tol. The powerful Tol. Unfortunately, it was unlikely that they would meet any resistance in the jungle around the temple. The One Sith forces hadn’t been seen within two miles for a month. Recalling that Lady Nox had her quarters near Darth Praetorius’s, Tol darted down a hallway, and along a winding path, to the general quarters. Locating what Tol assumed was Nox’s door, he rapped on it with his knuckles. Tag: General_BlackLegion --- Darth Xymox One Mile from the Dominion Compound, Lehon Though Lehon had always been a place of great, dark power, it had never been quite so permeating as it was with the Dominion and One Sith trapped upon its surface. In recent years, everything, from the ruins to the fauna, had begun to show it. The weather was temperamental and the plant life had become vile and dangerous. Wherever groups of Sith congregated for any amount of time, the planet seemed to know and react. Outside of the Dominion’s temple, on less than a square mile of land, plants were shying away from the forms of nine Sith. These nine were spread into groups; one of eight, and the other of one. These would be nigh insurmountable odds to all but the Masters of any Order. Darth Xymox, a Dominion Marauder, was not this. He would however, feel the concentration of the other Sith, all Dragons. He should be able to notice that one of the eight had snuck away from his compatriots. And, if he was paying attention, and was lucky, he might be able to sense that the missing was behind him. If he was, in fact, lucky, Darth Xymox would be able to prevent his own decapitation. Tag: GenOochy --- Tantric Vos, in the guise of Darth Ventris Interior Training Facility, Rakatan Temple, Lehon Walking through the expansive arena-like room, Ventris began to notice something odd. He smelled the air. Inhaling was not uncomfortable. Ventris frowned. There was a reason this room had been granted its own droid in the control room. It was useless to allow students to train in a room that was the same cool temperature as the rest of the complex. They needed to learn to control themselves, through intense heat or incapacitating cold. No situation was unheard of on Lehon. Ventris had seen gales that picked up in seconds, and lifted full-grown men off of their feet. He had known it to snow, when the sensors had predicted heat. There were no limits on Lehon, and the apprentices needed to learn that, at some point. As he was leaving the room, Ventris looked to his left, and rescinded his last thought. There was Veto Dainx, a Marauder, who hadn’t yet earned his full title. He would be Darth Palior, if he would ever submit himself to the training of the Arbiters. It was a wonder that he had been advanced to Marauder, at all, with all the trouble that he seemed to cause. The boy looked nervous, as he, seemingly, argued with the Chiss, Darth Pravus. Well, that was typical. Ventris couldn’t remember a day when Dainx’s name hadn’t come up in some conversation. He had often considered speaking with the boy, but Ventris was already thought to be unorthodox. It was unsafe for him to constantly break long-held Sith traditions. So, Ventris continued on his way to his destination. Tag: Evil_King_Wiggins, mujapple-juicey --- The House of Lords Command Center, Rakatan Temple, Lehon Ventris pushed open the door to the control and command room, to find two Sith on the House of Lords waiting for him. There was a good chance that Ventris was late, but since Insipid hadn’t arrived yet, nothing important was likely to have happened. Ventris nodded in Darth Verrick’s direction, and then bowed towards Darth Ardeur. He passed by Verrick on his way around the edge of a large black table. Equally spaced around the sides, were four black hover-chairs, with high backs. Ventris picked the seat facing the door, so that he could see Insipid when he entered. The seat was also strategic, because it left Insipid with his back exposed. Ventris glanced at Ardeur and Verrick both, who were sitting silently, and then before him, at the door. He asked openly, “Has anyone been able to keep track of the good Lord of Betrayal, this morning?” Ventris silently remarked the appropriateness of that name. Tag: s65horsey, Lord_Vivec, Sinrebirth --- Pelandra Harrn Space Above Lehon It wasn’t often that this corner of the galaxy was visited. Usually, because it was largely forgotten, or, if it wasn’t, because of its reputation. It was no secret that the planet Lehon was associated with the Dark Side. It had been the home to many firsts, over the years, and now, if at all, it was known as one of the most dangerous worlds in existence. Strangely enough, it was the intended destination of one Pelandra Harrn. This girl knew many things about Lehon, but it all involved the history. She was unaware of the current state of the planet. As her ship soared closer and closer to Lehon’s atmosphere, Pelandra moved closer and closer to a shocking discovery. Tag: Imperial_Hammer I hope that everyone understands where they fit in, at this point. The only two people who won't find themselves with a tag, are Kahn and Kev. The reason for that, is that because you were approved by Sinre, I felt it would be appropriate for him to start you both off. Be sure that in the future, every update will not have to come from him, for you two. If you have any questions, any of you, please, don't hesitate to PM Sinrebirth or myself. -----signature----- Signature. Signature. Signature. Signature. Signature!

	IC: Darth Verrick The House of Lords Command Center, Rakatan Temple, Lehon Verrick had been sitting in contemplation across Lady Ardeur when The Dark Lord had entered. Verrick looked up, acknowledging his entrance, as he nodded at Verrick and bowed to Ardeur. He then took a seat facing the door, leaving the last one for Insipid. After looking around, The Dark Lord spoke: “Has anyone been able to keep track of the good Lord of Betrayal, this morning?” Verrick looked up "I have not. I rarely keep up with what he does, as it usually never makes any sense to me." He then relaxed in his chair. "He will come. And if he doesn't, he can catch up on talking points later.
