Ku ' ar Danar Ku ' ar Danar was a male Jedi who lived before the Second Great Schism and later was considered a Sith Lord by some . Biography . The Second Great Schism . Ku ' ar Danar was part of a Jedi exploration team which discovered Korriban , the homeworld of the Sith species . But contrary to his comrades , Danar stayed longer on the planet to study the Sith use of the Force . Danar then succumbed to the dark side but didn ' t take an active part in the conflict which occurred sometime later . In fact , the fallen Jedi preferred conducting an experience in the Nilrebmah system . After submitting the civilization on Nilrebmah II , he obliged the population to build a gigantic monolith on Nilrebmah XIII using living , Force - sensitive stones from Nilrebmah X . His experience succeeded , as he managed to move an entire planet from his orbit with only the Force , but all life on it was annihilated as well as his own corpse . However , his spirit stayed prisoner in the monolith , waiting for his saviors . After the Hundred - Year Darkness , Danar disappearance was noticed and many Jedi suspected him to have pulled the strings of the war , especially since they found a manuscript in the archives of the Exiles which partially described the experience of Danar and his " success " . The Great Sith War . One year before the Conclave on Deneba , the monolith was discovered by Sli ' Lon Tahar , a Jedi master searching for proof of the Sith survival after the Great Hyperspace War . Tahar didn ' t have the time to reveal its position as the Krath attacked the conclave . Two years after his discovery , Tahar was killed by the Sith Lord Ulic Qel - Droma in the Battle of Foerost . Before dying , he had the time to reveal the existence of the monolith to adventurers came from the future , but also unintentionally to Qel - Droma himself . Later , the mysterious adventurers found on Ossus erroneous information on the presumed Sith Lord , seconded by a Jedi archivist and his apprentice , Dace Vinagar . The Order also mistakenly thought that he had formed Naga Sadow to the manipulation of the Force before he became Dark Lord of the Sith , and that he instructed some of the most feared geneticists from the time . They also read fragments of the manuscript discovered after the Second Great Schism , and determined the localization of the monolith in the Nilrebmah system . Fifteen days later , they explored the system with the assistance of Vinagar , only to be attacked on Nilrebmah XIII by dark side creatures . Ku ' ar Danar , sensing the presence of Vinagar , lured him in the depth of the planet . The Jedi apprentice finally betrayed his comrades and tried to kill them , then followed the call of who he thought being a " Sith Lord " . Danar slowed the adventurers by reanimating the skeletons of the civilization he destroyed , gaining time for Dace Vinagar to come inside the monolith . He then empowered the apprentice with his own Force abilities , allowing him to unleash dark side beasts on his pursuers . Those beasts gave Vinagar just enough time to finish an old ritual and activate the monolith , liberating the spirit of Ku ' at Danar . Cursing the Force spirit of the Fallen Jedi when his body started to consume itself , Vinagar let his rage amplify the power of the ritual and was finally changed in a giant Hydra moved by pure energy . The entire planet started to collapse , as it moved toward Nilrebmah XII , and the hydra was shot down by a Krath starship commanded by Ulic Qel - Droma who searched the tomb of Ku ' ar Danar . At the moment where the two planets collided , the adventurers entered hyperspace , only to find themselves in capacity to return in their era . What they didn ' t know is that the spirit of Danar followed them and gave them this opportunity himself . Personality and traits . Danar was a solitary and discreet man , staying on Korriban when his companions left the planet and seemingly staying out of the conflict which divided the Jedi Order . But many of the Jedi of the era started to think that he was at least partially responsible of the situation , thus knowing him as a manipulative individual . This trait can be perceived in the use and the destruction of an entire civilization for a personal , useless experimentation . This total disinterest for power frightened the Jedi , who seen him as a fundamentalist theorist with no thinking of the consequences of his action . Power and abilities . Ku ' ar Danar was a very powerful Force - sensitive , and was able to manipulate the Force and the dark side to a high level of competence . Even as a Force spirit , he managed to unleash beasts on the intruders and reanimated millennia old corpses . He was also able to furnish to the adventurers from the future the surplus of energy necessary to the time travel . When he was alive , he successfully dominated an entire civilization , forcing them to erect a gigantic monolith , and was able to use the structure as an amplifier for his Force experimentations . Behind the scenes . Ku ' ar Danar was created by Philippe Rat and Mehdi Sahmi for the ambiguously canon roleplaying scenario " Le Facteur X " which appeared in the French magazine " Casus Belli 115 " . The article preceding the scenario is inconsistent with the actual EU , but the scenario himself , even based on now erroneous data , presents few if any problems . Jedi discovering Korriban and the Sith before the Second Great Schism can be considered as an error , but with the possible manipulation of the Dark Jedi by Ku ' ar Danar , it is possible for him knowing about the planet and the species without telling them the truth . From this perspective , the arrival of the Exiles on Korriban can perhaps be viewed as non - accidental , even if the Exiles didn ' t know it . However , the fragments of the manuscript in the scenario specifically mentioned the " Sith " . In the context of writing of the article and scenario , the Sith are explicitly the Dark Jedi who later returned on Korriban . In the context of the actual EU , it can be speculated that at least one Dark Jedi knew about the studies of Ku ' ar Danar on Korriban and knew the word " Sith " before the Exiles arrived on Korriban . The more recent introduction of the Exile Sorzus Syn and her partial knowledge of the Sith and of the location of Korriban could help explaining those discrepancies . Ku ' ar Danar is considered as an ancient Sith Lord in the story , but can ' t be one , since the Exiles were the first " non - Sith " to claim the title . But it can be noted that in the entire scenario , only Jedi and Fallen Jedi call him a " Sith " . Thus , the title can be explained as late postulate made by the Jedi on the assumption that he was partly responsible of the Hundred - Year Darkness . To support this , it can also be noted that the archivists and librarians on Ossus gave to the adventurers information which was erroneous , even in the context of the scenario . For example , Ku ' ar Danar can ' t have formed Naga Sadow even as a Force spirit since he is trapped on Nilrebmah XIII . However , this false connection implies that the Jedi knew Danar as a powerful sorcerer , as was Sadow .
