Adas

A**das** was king of Korriban and the Sith in a reign that lasted nearly three hundred years. He was large for his species, his skin was unusually charcoal-colored, and he was raised as a chosen being from his youth. Encasing himself in ebon armor, he wielded a massive battle-ax, and became a master of Sith magic. Circa 28,000 BBY, Adas united the disparate nations of Korriban in a series of bloody conflicts, eventually solidifying himself as the sole leader of his people.

The Sith hailed Adas as the *Sith'ari*, or "Overlord." The commonly held belief was that he was invincible, and that his reign would be eternal

## History

A Sith male, Adas was born on the planet Korriban at least three thousand years before the formation of the Galactic Republic. Due to the charcoal-colored pigmentation of his skin, which was unusual for the red-skinned Sith, Adas was considered a chosen being, and was raised as such during his youth. As he grew older, he grew to be substantial in size, and displayed great intelligence as well as skill in combat. Adas was also particularly adept in the use of Sith magic. He encased himself in a suit of spiked,[3] ebon armor, and was armed with an oversized, alchemically-forged battle-ax. Circa 28,000 BBY, Adas took his ax to his fellow Sith in a series of brutal conflicts, eventually uniting and consolidating the disparate nations of his homeworld.

In doing so, Adas became the undisputed ruler and king of Korriban. The general perception held by his people was that he would live forever, with a reign eternal, and he came to be revered as a god. The period of his rule became known as the "Reign of the Ax" and over time, Adas was given the moniker of *Sith'ari*, meaning "Lord" or "Overlord." He was three hundred years old when Rakatan soldiers of the Infinite Empire moved against Korriban. At first, the aliens taught King Adas how to record his essence into a device called a "holocron," in an attempt to lull the Sith ruler into their confidence. Putting his newfound knowledge to use, Adas created his own holocron,although the device became more a testament to his accomplishments than a teaching device. Eventually, though, the Rakatans were more blatant in their actions, and attempted to conquer the Sith,[1] using their Force-based technology.

Adas's forces gathered in a large army on the fields of Korriban to face the invading Rakata, whose landed their ships as the king's soldiers chanted their leader's name. The Sith were more than able to defend themselves, and Adas, refusing to tolerate their actions even in his advanced age, led his people in the vehement defense of Korriban. He personally participated in the punitive action, driving back the invaders with his massive ax.In the process, he was able to capture the Rakatan starships, and turn them against the invaders. Adas's forces were able to push on from Korriban, and reach Ziost, Malachor V, and Tund. However, in securing what he hoped would be a future of freedom for his people, Adas was betrayed by his Wife Yshaar whom lied to his people in that her perished from his wounds from the battle. Eventually her lies were uncovered and she gained the title of "Betrayer of Adas" around this time before being captured by the Rakata.

## Personality and traits

Adas was both a monarch and a god to his people, and during the end of his reign, Adas was given the title of Sith'ari—the perfect being, bestowed upon him by the Force according to legend.[4] A fierce combatant and a respected,[1] though inflexible ruler,[4] Adas was still feared millennia after his death. He preyed on the timid,[3] enslaved those he considered to be foolish, executed idealists,[5] and was highly derisive of the weak
