Darth Krayt ' s Sith trooper Sith troopers were individuals , strong in the Force , who were abducted by Darth Krayt shortly after birth and augmented through cybernetic implants . They were programmed into servants of unquestionable loyalty and obedience to Krayt . History . Darth Krayt had begun his Sith trooper project decades before the One Sith took over the galaxy . Knowing that all his Sith followers would at some point seek his power , Krayt began the Sith trooper project to create an army that was both completely loyal to him , and undefeatable . After Krayt ' s resurrection , he started implementing his Sith troopers and his " Annihilator " - class starfighters in his war . They were fused with robotics and cybernetic components from infancy . These components connected the Sith Troopers to their Annihilators . Another Sith Trooper mentioned that they don ' t tire . The troops were housed in a secret location in the Valley of the Dark Lords on Korriban . In a demonstration of their blind obedience to the Dark Lord of the Sith , one Sith trooper guarding the chambers took his own life after being ordered to do so by Lord Krayt . Soon afterward , Darth Krayt returned to Coruscant to seek revenge against Darth Wyyrlok . He was accompanied by Darth Talon and Darth Nihl as well as two of these troopers . During their march into the Temple of the Sith , Krayt ' s Sith troopers killed several renegade Sith supporting Wyyrlok with ease . Months later , as the Sith Imperial assault against the Jedi Hidden Temple on Taivas ensued , and it seemed the Imperials would lose , Krayt sprung his trap , releasing his Sith Troopers on the battlefield . They tore through both Imperials and Jedi . Despite their power and ferocity , the Jedi continued their defense against the Sith , culminating in an assault on the council chamber where T ' ra Saa , director of the Jedi ' s side of the battle , resided . One of the Annihilator starfighters rammed the building , heedless of Sith Troopers still inside , creating a large chain reaction killing T ' ra Saa and Nat Skywalker , but also resulting in them channeling the blast created by the ship ' s destruction that cleared a path for the Alliance and Imperial fleets to escape . Three Troopers , one already badly damaged from the explosion , tried to prevent Cade Skywalker from escaping on the " Mynock " , but two were killed and one was taken captive by Cade and Morrigan Corde . When the allied forces attacked Coruscant , there were Sith Troopers both on ground and in Annihilators in space . While the strike team made it to the Sith Temple with only one dead and one wounded , the space battle was not working well . The troopers in their Annihilators inflicted heavy casualties on the allied forces , with the Fel - loyal Fist of the Empire destroyed , and Andurgo of Rogue Squadron killed . The progress of the battle pressed Roan Fel to obtain Omega Red from Darth Maladi . Darth Krayt died during the battle , and the troopers became mad and many began suicide runs at whatever targets were available , resulting in even Darth Nihl , who had assumed control of the Sith , to order their elimination . All sides of the battle were forced to fight to eliminate the elite Sith Troopers for their own survival .
