Odionate Odionate was the name given by Jedi Master Vannar Treece to one of the " successor states " to the Chagras Hegemony established in a portion of the Grumani sector following the death of its titular ruler Chagras in 1040 BBY . It was named after its ruler , the Sith Lord Odion . Odion ' s followers were known as Odionites . Following the Battle of Vanahame , its titular ruler was killed and the state collapsed with its territories and assets being divided up among the Calimondra family . Politics and society . Odion ' s domain was governed according to his nihilistic beliefs which glorified death and destruction as a means of finding solace . Its name reflected a naming convention within the Sith territories in the Grumani sector of placing the suffixes " - ate " or " nate " after the Sith Lord ' s name . Thus , Odion ' s followers were known as " Odionites " : which reflected another naming convention of its rulers , creating the demonym form of their realms by using the suffixes " - ite " or " - nite . " Unlike the Daimanate , ruled by Odion ' s younger brother and rival , Daiman , the Odionate apparently lacked a proper seat of power with its capital constantly shifting to suit Odion ' s military campaigns . His domain was also be locked into internecine civil warfare over territory and resources against several other rival Sith Lords including his estranged brother Daiman , Malakite , and Ayanos Bactra . Due to his nihilistic worldview , Odion paid little time and resources to the Odionate ' s economy and his subjects ' welfare . Following the annexation of the Bactranate , Odion arranged for the " voluntary deaths " of several banker s and accountant s since those occupations had become redundant within his domain . Under his rule , the population was pressed into slavery within his armies and factories churning war materiel . Odion also implemented a policy of incarcerating all the children in his realm within cloisters where they would be brainwashed into becoming pliable workers and warriors . By 1032 BBY , there were at least twelve such planet - sized orphanages scattered throughout his realm , including the moon Vanahame . Unlike the Daimanate , the Odionate lacked any mass media , but Odion still maintained several data center s on the foundry world of Jubalene . His armed forces consisted of both Force - sensitive dark side - wielding acolytes known as the Novitiate s , and regular infantry formations like the Lightning and Thunder Guard s . Odion ' s forces theoretically did not have any formal ranks , but Odion still utilized the services of experienced military commanders like the former mercenary Beld Yulan . Since his nihilistic politics rapidly drained the ranks of his armies , Odion had to use Force - sensitive recruiters known as Claimer s to recruit more followers . Odion also had a significant military fleet which included the a fleet of Odionate gunship s , the mobile space station The Spike , and several kinetic corruptor s . Odion ' s obsession with warfare and destruction also culminated in the development of a large siege tower known as the Death Spiral which was capable of hyperspace travel and could also be used to deploy ground forces , speeders , swoop bikes , and walkers . Odion also held the belief that certain species were naturally more proficient at some tasks , and therefore used those species exclusively for those tasks . For instance , astrogation was done by Givins , engineering by Verpine , and spying by hired Bothans . History . The Odionate was formed following the death of Lord Chagras in 1040 BBY , ruler of the Sith state known as the Chagras Hegemony . Chagras ' s death sparked a second series of military contests between the Sith Calimondra family known as the Second Charge Matrica , which was both overtly and covertly abetted by the family matriarch Vilia Calimondra . Odion and his estranged younger brother were the first of these Calimondra Sith Lords to go to war with each other . Over the next eight years , Odion carved up his own princedom which was centered around his own nihilistic cult . Over the next eight years , Odion was locked in a series of stalemated conflicts against rival Sith Lords particularly Daiman . In 1032 BBY , Odionate forces invaded Chelloa , a Daimanate world producing the compound baradium which was utilized in the production of munitions . The campaign ended disastrously with the Odionate sustaining heavy casualties during the planetary invasion after Daiman unleashed kinetic corruptor s which caused the surface to explode in flames . Odion himself was grievously wounded following a duel with the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt , the last survivor of Operation Influx . Following the Battle of Gazzari , Odion and Daiman would briefly join forces after Vilia Calimondra encouraged them to invade the Bactranate , a realm ruled by Lord Ayanos Bactra . The planets Jubalene and Jutrand were annexed during this campaign . During a family bequest held that year , family matriarch Vilia Calimondra granted Odion control of Jutrand but gives control of the corporation Industrial Heuristics and its subsidiary assets to Daimanate . While Odion accepted a shipment of two legions of Trandoshan slave warriors as quid pro quo , tensions would linger between the two brothers who still sought to kill each other . During the Aquilaris campaign , the Odionate and other Sith states would collaborate with the Hutt lord Zodoh in his campaign to invade the Daimanate by keeping Daiman ' s forces preoccupied at the frontlines . Following the defeat of Zodoh at the Battle of Darkknell , Daiman retaliated against Odion ' s backing for Zodoh ' s invasion by helping the Jedi Knight Kerra to infiltrate the Odionate , where she joined the Novitiates . Following the annexation of the Bactranate , Odion had restarted Project Pandemonium , a top - secret project to find the Helm of Ieldis , an ancient Sith artifact capable of driving sentient beings into a homicidal frenzy . This campaign would lead Odionate forces to invade both Skarpos and Sarrassia . During the Second Battle of Skarpos , Odion obtained the Helm for himself and used it to destroy three armies , including those of his rivals Daiman and Malakite , ruler of the Menagerie . He then traveled to Vanahame where he intended to use the Helm to destroy all his opponents and gain mastery over the Grumani Sector and then the entire galaxy , by draining the negative emotions of the child captives on the planet - sized Cloister orphanage on Vanahame . However , during the Battle of Vanahame , he was thwarted by his former General Beld Yulan and Kerra who freed the child inmates , and the subsequent rush of positive or light - sided emotions caused the Helm to overload and kill Odion . Afterwards , the Odionate collapsed , and its holdings were subsequently divided between the various other members of the Calimondra family .
