Whew. I now have temporary access to a computer, and intend to make the most of it. Below follows my most recent mini-assignment. Expect the original one on Soa to be rather close on its heels, stalking through the undergrowth, preparing to pounce, brandishing... ah, where was I? Right, the analysis.

Ah, yes; the wonderful world of Kalsunor. Wind whistles through the desolate ruins of a civilisation long gone, picking up dust in an insipid display not to be seen by any sentient eyes. An ominous, irregular drumbeat can be heard some distance away, akin to both the thunder of a powerful storm and an incessant artillery cannonade. But no storm clouds are apparent, and there is no one on the planet to use artillery... What is heard, day in and day out, is the endless clattering and snapping of gigantic mandibles, wielded by hordes of silooth - titanic beetles of war, once used by the ancient Sith to overrun the world, now its sole masters. The Sith had deposited these warbeasts on Kalsunor as a last-ditch effort to conquer its stubborn defenders, only to find that they could not control the beasts once their enemies had been destroyed, and were forced to abandon the world to the sands of time. But when did this event occur?

There is too little evidence to pinpoint a concrete date, yet some measurements can indeed be made. To begin with, it is known that it occured before the arrival of the Twelve on Korriban, in 6900 BBY. Then, the conflict saw the first deployment of the silooth in war, and the timeframes for the two are thus inextricably linked. It is also known that the information on it was gleaned by Sorzus Syn from the Nakgru Holocron, which details the time of King Adas and the wars that occured under him and his successors. The text on the silooth is arguably within the context of that narrative, which may put the Kalsunor conflict around Adas' time, but it is not stated for certain. "Long ago" is what we get from Syn's entry on silooths. The terentatek is described as "more recent" than beasts such as the silooth, and there was a preserved body of one in the Sanctum of Sakkra-Kla, sealed more than 10,000 years before the Heresiarchs' arrival. So, we have pushed back the date to 16,900 BBY and backwards as the latest point of silooths' creation, given the terentatek's being a more recent one. We also know that the same war that spawned the silooth also introduced the warbird and the war behemoth, but no leads seem to exist as to the time of their creation, to my knowledge.

With the time of King Adas and his successors, circa 28,000 BBY and onward as the most concrete earliest time, and 16,900 BBY as the absolute latest, considering the terentatek was already interred in the Sanctum by then, and one may place the time of Kalsunor's desolation during Adas' conquests of ca 28,000 to 27,000 BBY, or the conflicts that followed his death, with some millennia to spare. The defenders of the world are not specified, and could have been a native species or a rival Sith faction.

I had used the Book of Sith, Dark Side Sourcebook's silooth entry, the Sith War Behemoth Creature Feature on the archived Wizards.com, and Wookieepedia artcles Kalsunor, Silooth, Kissai, Battle of Kalsunor, Unidentified Sith Empire conflict. If you have more interesting sources on this, I'd be delighted to know!

Something else I've discovered is the existence of an Imperial Grand Admiral named Peccati Syn, who renamed his flagship the Silooth, and was born on Taris. Could he be a descendant of some relative of Sorzus Syn's, perchance, considering that some Heresiarchs who returned to the Republic seem to have visited Taris in some way during the war, with Muur's talisman being lost there?

 

Thank you, my Master. I myself had not thought of the conflict much, and the task gave me the perfect lead to pursue the information. If I could, I would award points to you, as well!

I do intend to continue through the new canon but I'm too intrigued to resist. Do tell!

 

That is... tantalizing story potential.

Need to think on this!

What was the task you had in mind regarding the meeting with the Empress?

 

The scene is a bit nuanced with some deservedly rich potential, all tied to each and every player ( or it could be my overactive imagination ). Manticore does have choice words, but they are best delivered in person, as intended. That being said, he's taking somewhat of a 'scenic' route more or less on his way to the 'Empress', since there's a sub-plot ( minefield ) I'm trying not to have explode in his face. The Emperor/Sinre is very tricksy....If you have not noticed.

I see you've annotated PP to your signature. Please add another point for accomplishing that.

How are you progressing with the EDITED skill points for your CS?

I wonder if Jakku is where the "extinction" of the Sith occured 1000 years before the movies.

 

Spoiler

The Jakku Justification instead of the Ruusan Reformation?

SateleNovelist11, I see that and I think "I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies..."

 

I do not think the ribbons have me in bonds, dear sister. I'm free.

 

I like ribbons, and lace.....sometimes a bit of leather.

 

I thought this was a prerequisite for joining the Sith Empire? No?

 

LOL!!

 

When Sidious declared, "Henceforth you shall be know as Darth... Vader," might he have been consulting with the spirits of past Sith Lords to decide on a Darth name for Anakin?

 

That could be a possibility, in my view. Sithisis showed us he could do so, and it is written that he queried the dark side as to the name. Unless one considers it a thinking entity, the logical explanation may well be that Force-dwelling dark side beings answered him. Nice thinking!

I've been wondering about something similar lately, too. When Sidious kills Plagueis and experiences the rush of power standing at the window, he feels something "shading his sense of triumph", perceiving a "power greater than himself". He theorises it may be Plagueis surviving in some way - interesting if Snoke ends up being him, if one takes the One Canon approach. Or could it have been aforementioned Sith spirits? Immortal Gods of the Sith? Abeloth? We saw that heightened states of awareness/power can let one glimpse her in the force. But I don't recall encountering any official clarification on this passage..

Has anyone seen or heard from WookieeRage recently?

 

Perhaps my apprentice has abandoned the darkside?
