Fanclub ✶ The Knights of Darkness ✶ The Official Sith, Knights of Ren & Dark Side Fanclub ✶ v.3

Natasi Daala is one of my favorite SW characters. I'd love to see her turn up in one of the films one day.

 

If you have issues with you training, sir...I suggest you contact the management.

Also, yes. The Shadow Academy is a mobile spacestation that holds the academy.

 

That works quite well. The Knights of Ren would appear considerably closer to the Dark Jedi of the Second Imperium or the Imperial Knights of the Fel Empire.

I'm going to abuse my position as Dark Lord to post up a titbit I have put together for my After the Awakening game, set just after the film in a joint new and old canon universe.

Spoilers for chapter fourteen!

Chapter Fourteen

'One year after the Battle of Endor, the Empire was defeated at Jakku, in the eyes of the New Republic. Ten years after the Battle of Jakku, the Imperial Remnant signed the Bastion Accords, as an addendum to the totalitarian Galactic Concordance, and was defeated, in its own eyes.'

Daala scowled, and took a breath before continuing. 'Six years after that, we were chased from the Deep Core and our Second Imperium destroyed, and we secured a colony here, in the Maw Cluster, as the Yuuzhan Vong crossed the threshold into our Galaxy.'

No grumbling in memory of that defeat, of the failure at Yavin once again, their Shadow Academy destroyed, and Palpatine killed again. Of course, only she knew that Palpatine had been a fake, but it had invigorated her forces in the face of the Remnant suing for peace. Daala continued as she spoke to the captains of the Maw Irregular Fleet, to the officers, to the troopers, to the men and women of her fleet. 'Four years after their arrival they were defeated, and in secret corners across the Galaxy, the truth of the Empire was seen to many; that democracy was weak, that the New Republic had fallen to its own vices; that the Imperial way, the way of Order, was the only way, helped along by the strong showing of Pellaeon and his Remnant against the invaders, and our quiet acts behind the Ryn and Mandalorian clans, sabotaging the invasion and secretly coming to the aid of Pellaeon at the battle of Esfandia, a fleet stitched together by 'rumours' and 'favours' to hide our true hand.'

Brushing a crimson hair from her face, Daala grinned at the conceit of it all. 'Nine years ago the Centrists arose within the New Republic Senate, and the First Order within the Remnant, another faction of the Empire which had also understood that the Empire never surrenders, and it always strikes back. Three years later the First Senator crisis strengthened Snoke's hand, and we stood watching in the wings for a grand Imperial resurgence.'

A stirring across the channels, but Daala did not give them chance to respond. 'But Snoke sought to embrace the dark side of the Force, and set up yet another theocracy with him atop of it. It was that theocracy which destroyed our Emperor, that betrayed him - the Sith and Dark Jedi beneath him, the hated Vader, the schemer Quest, and the betrayer Jax. The Empire needs to have the Force under its control, not the other way around.'

Silence.

'And so we shall rid the First Order of Supreme Leader Snoke, and the Force shall wither in the heart of the Empire, and we shall save the Imperial way as the New Republic crumbles once more, as it always would and will.'

'We depart now, to smash the Force, and to smash democracy!'

A cheer, and Daala cut the line.

She turned to face the hologram. 'You are sure this will work?'

'All the better because the Jedi and Heroes of Yavin will do it for us.'

'And Skywalker?'

'Still in the Unknown Regions. As soon as a peaceful, just and orderly society is imposed - as it will be in less than a week anyway - we can parley with him from a position of overwhelming strength; he shall choose to accept his exile, and we shall let him have it, and forge the Jedi anew within the New Empire.'

Daala considered. 'So be it.'

'So be it.' With that, the signal cut out.

Admiral Natasi Daala nodded to herself. The Galaxy was up for grabs with the New Republic in such a sorry state, which meant control of the Empire was the point. When the Ryn network discovered her mysterious benefactor - a retired banker in the Banking Clan who had been quietly disgusted by the Galactic Concordance for decades - he had happily presented her with codes and information and secrets of the First Order, including, now, the knowledge of the location of Snoke's personal flagship, which Kylo Ren, Hux and others had fled to after Starkiller's destruction.

Though Snoke himself was suspected to be in the Yavin system itself, Daala was looking to crush his personal flagship before it could be drawn to his aid; and also with a view to catching the man if the heroes missed their chance.

The 'heroes' and 'villains', side by side to stop Supreme Leader Snoke and his Knights of Ren, as much brief interruptions to the galactic status quo as the Yuuzhan Vong were.

Then Daala could take the reins as Empress once and for all.

Very nice.

 

Indeed we are!

Happy Saturday fellow Darksiders.

Next up let's discuss Darth Vader.

I've always had issues with how he had no father, it was just the midi-chlorians? Far fetched, but okay, I'll go with it. So, he's born to a slave and early on shows these incredible piloting skills.

Did anyone else cheer when he killed the Tusken Raiders that kidnapped his mother? It was justified, they had tortured his mother to the edge of death.

Fast forward and he falls for Padme, that gives Sidious what he needs to manipulate Anakin. It's fairly obvious that the nightmares of Padme dying were caused by Sidious. Then the final straw was Sidious causing Padme's death to finalize Anakin's transition to Darth Vader.

Please share your thoughts and theories.

 

I agree, Kronos. When the music started and he stepped off the shuttle, I had chills. He's totally a badass.

 

TheReal_Rebel - I think the backstory on them is still be revealed. I'm hoping the future novels will tell us a great deal more.

Halle Dray - I've always wondered if Sidious had Shmi kidnapped. I feel like everything was all mapped out.

 

I've always believed Sidious was plotting one level higher and killed Padme. The whole idea that she gave up was ludicrous. He had plans for Anakin, well thought out plans.

 

My bad.

 

Good day Sithly fans.

Let's talk about Darth Tyranus.

Since I'm a fan of titles he was also the Count of Serenno.

This former Jedi Master was involved in putting the pieces in place to form the clone troopers for the Grand Army of the Republic. Not to mention supplying chips to the Kamioans with Clone Protocol Order 66.


I liked his sense of style.

 

I think he's a dandy.
