Campaign of Darth Momin

"*I, Momin, was a sculptor of the mind. They locked me away so they would not have to see it.*"

## Campaign of Darth Momin

### Key Individuals

Darth Momin Darth Shaa

The **Campaign of Darth Momin** was the series of events that were headed by the dark side user known as Darth Momin, who had been found by the Sith Lady Shaa and trained in the ways of the Sith. Momin had eventually grown to become more powerful that Shaa, killing her and gaining a following of loyal acolytes. He used his dark side powers to construct weapons and sculptures capable of bringing about death and fear. His ultimate goal became to freeze people in a moment of terror. His campaign of terror and destruction eventually came to an end as he was defeated by Jedi. While his physical body was destroyed, his essence and consciousness remained within his mask.

## Prelude

##### Force Artist

   In his early life Momin used the Force in a rare matter, using his powers to construct sculptures out of materials he could find. He became convinced that if people did not feel anything as they looked upon his artworks then he had created nothing. As a consequence, his sculptures became increasingly deadly and cruel. He would experiment with using the force to kill animals and use their bones and organs to create images. He even took his family pet rada-cat, Flitta, and mutilated it. Momin's sculptures became more and more known as he was eventually arrested and locked away as a criminal.

##### Sith Apprentice

Momin did not remain in prison for long until word of his cruel artistry had reached the ears of certain members of the Sith. One such Sith, Darth Shaa, had heard tales of the young force user and used her own powers to free Momin from his cell. Momin became Shaa's apprentice and together they trained as master and apprentice. Momin was gifted a pair of red lightsabers that he used to construct his mask that would go on to become a recognizable icon of fear. To be worthy of donning his mask, Momin used the force to mutilate his own face. Momin's training honed his connection to the Force and enabled him to understand the things he had felt throughout his earlier life. He was however unhappy with his role as an apprentice, feeling that he quickly outgrew his master. Shaa disagreed and demanded that Momin remain under her tutelage for a longer duration. Momin decided to prove his strength to his master by dueling her. Momin proved himself capable, killing Lady Shaa and thus stopping himself from remaining an apprentice.

## Recount

#### Momin's Campaign

Momin set out on his own, hoping to use the dark side of the Force to construct sculptures in the name of the Force itself that would inspire fear and terror to all those who witnessed it. He slowly grew a strong following of acolytes who were desperately loyal in aiding Momin on his quest to spread such chaos. He and his acolytes spread out across the galaxy to several key Sith pilgrimage sites, learning about the dark side and it's powers, and studying objects such as the Sith Holocrons.

##### Fermata Cage

One of Momin's creations that he devised to serve his ultimate goal of freezing individuals in the moment of their uttermost terror, was the Fermata Cage. He created the device that was attuned greatly to the dark side of the Force, that when activated could freeze individuals and locations at a certain moment in time. The individual could be brought back into the present at any moment as if no time had passed at all. Momin had used a vast amount of dark side energy to contain miniature black holes that would warp time and space, thus enabling the mechanism that could trap individuals through time. The only way the cage could be activated was if by an exceedingly strong consumption of the dark side applied directly by a Force sensitive individual.

##### Momin's Destruction of a City

Momin reached out to the Force for guidance, to which the Force responded for him to choose a city. Momin understood this to mean for him to pick a city for him to wreak his devastation and ultimate goal of freezing his enemies in time. He picked an unidentified city and used resources left from Darth Shaa to construct a superweapon that could harness the power of the Fermata Cage and unleash widespread destruction across the city, decimating the buildings beneath the superweapon craft in violent explosions. Momin piloted the superweapon above the city and began his reign of destruction, destroying entire buildings and spreading death. Having heard of the threat posed by the Sith, the Jedi Order arrived at the scene and began fighting their way to Momin, but were slowed down by his acolyte followers. Momin planned to pick the right time to unleash the Force within him and activate the Fermata Cage device that would accomplish his task. Before he could do this however, his hands on the activation panel, the a pair of Jedi were able to reach him. The Jedi presence disrupted his concentration and caused his powers to go awry. The disruption caused the destruction of Momin's superweapon, killing all those aboard the ship. Momin's physical body was destroyed in an instant, vaporized with the rest of his acolytes and superweapon. His body was destroyed at a moment of his peak Force usage, allowing him to somehow imbue his conscious within his mask.

## Aftermath

##### Immortal Momin

While Momin was defeated and thought deceased, his conscious mind remained within his mask, giving the object the capability of possessing anyone who wore it. Trapped within his mask, Momin remained. The mask was eventually found by the Jedi Order within the wreckage of the downed superweapon, taking it to Coruscant where it was housed as part of the Bogan Collection in the Jedi Archive. Momin's actions were announced as heretic by both the Sith and the Jedi alike, the Jedi going so far as to refuse a recording of his history. Any mention of Momin's name or actions in history were not archived. The only evidence of the Sith Lord's existence was the mask that sat within the Jedi Temple.
