## Lore

### **Origins**

Somewhere between 20ABY and 25ABY, a Bith male was born **Ri'dk Gah** on the old Sith colony of **Dromund Kaas**. From a young age, the boy had an extreme connection to the Force, the likes of which the galaxy hadn't ever seen, something his parents took note of immediately. Once he was old enough, he was sent off to the Jedi Academy on Ach-To, where he'd hone is abilities as a Jedi. Gah's abilities and skill with a lightsaber far exceeded all of his classmates, and was immediately chosen to be the Padawan of **Jedi Master Shaoovo**. Notably, before his mentorship began, Ri'dk trained with **Rey Palpatine**, a figure instrumental in the destruction of the **Sith Eternal**. Under Shaoovo's teachings, Ri'dk grew to become an exceptionally powerful Jedi, rivaling the greatest in the Order, even as a Padawan. Around this same time, a Force Sensitive Human male was born on the planet of Mandalore, named **Maxir Kanne,** and soon after, his brother, **Leo Kanne**. The two were very close siblings, and both trained in Mandalorian military academies. However, the two began to divide when Maxir began to show an exceptional connection to the Force, far greater than his brother. This difference drove the two apart, and after being manipulated and lied to by his father, Maxir murdered his entire family with his father's lightsaber. However, he held compassion for his brother, and let him live on the condition that they would never cross paths again. Maxir then fled to the Mid-Rim, eventually running out of fuel and being stranded on the ancient Sith Homeworld of **Korriban,** where he constantly fought off Cultists and concentrated his Dark Side abilities. Meanwhile, on a mission to an unknown planet, a Sith Cultist attacked Ri'dk's Master, and presumably killed him after Gah escaped. In search for more power to prevent this from happening again, Ri'dk Gah left the Jedi Order, arriving soon after on Korriban. With his incredible connection to the Force, and especially the Dark Side, Ri'dk Gah easily subjugated the scattered Sith Cultists and Acolytes across the planet, forming his new **Sith Order,** taking the name **Darth N'il**. Among the subjugated Dark Side users was Maxir Kanne, who Ri'dk Gah took as his first Sith Apprentice.

### Early Empire

After the creation of Darth N'il's Sith Order, the Sith began a violent campaign of infiltrating and conquering New Republic systems, causing the **New Jedi Order** to retaliate with what was supposed to be a devastating blow to the Sith capital of Korriban. Upon entering the planet's atmosphere, Sith Lord Maxir Kanne, now Darth Maxir, began a campaign against the invading armies and fleets. Accompanied by a small force of only a few dozen Sith, he destroyed the entire invading fleet, as well as killing Grandmaster Rey Palpatine in a duel. Soon after, the **First Galactic War** began between the New Jedi Order, now led by **Jedi Master Sio**, and the Sith Order, led by Darth N'il.

### First Galactic War

The First Galactic War, also called the Second Jedi Civil War, began in 45 ABY, with the destruction of the Jedi Fleet on Korriban, after their failed siege of the capital, and the death of Grandmaster Rey Palpatine. After the siege, the New Jedi Order was greatly weakened, not only in its armies, but in its members morale. This weakness was exploited by Darth N'il, who sent dozens of spies to infiltrate the Jedi Order, effectively turning hundreds of Force Sensitives to the Dark Side. This further weakened the Jedi Order, and opened an opportunity for the Sith to attack the Jedi Order at its heart: Coruscant. In 46 ABY, Darth N'il, his apprentice Darth Maxir, and the Sith Lord Darth Khuern besieged the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and after committing the **Fourth Jedi Purge**, Darth Maxir collapsed the temple onto itself, destroying the Jedi's largest stronghold, a morale crushing defeat that showed the Jedi's weakness to the rest of the galaxy. Shortly after this, the Jedi were purged, and the New Republic was finally conquered, and replaced with the **Sith Empire**.

### Early Reign and Search for the Star Forge

During the early years of the Sith Empire, Darth N'il reformed its structure, to where only a select few Sith were allowed to reach the upper ranks. This way, any assasination could be prevented due to N'il's most loyal only being allowed on the ruling **Council**. Around this same time, the secret organization known as the **Insurgency**, or simply the Rebellion, began. This organization was led by acting Grandmaster Sio, who began to work against the Sith Empire in secret. On a mission to the ancient Jedi Temple on Ach-to, Sio found a crashed starship on a mountain, with someone still inside, being **Konro Kallus**, a local outlaw who escaped capture but crashed on the planet. Sio took the boy out of the ship, and sensing his strong force sensitivity, took him as his Padawan. Soon after, Darth N'il arrived, sensing a strong presence from the planet. After a short duel, the two Jedi fled, later revealing to be an insurmountable mistake to let them escape Around this same time, Darth N'il sent the Darth Khuern to locate the ancient superweapon known as the **Star Forge**, to power the theoretical fleet of **Eclipse-class Star Destroyers** that the Sith had planned to create. Darth Khuern located the forge within the year, however went missing soon after, and was presumed dead. As soon as the superweapon was located, Sith engineers began reverse-engineering the ancient technology to be used as a fuel source and a forge for their massive fleet. During this time, the Insurgency began growing in members, including the Mandalorian warrior, and Darth Maxir's younger brother, Leo Kanne. Small skirmishes began to take place across the galaxy, showing cracks in the Sith's invincible empire. To prove the strength of the **Eclipse Fleet**, Darth N'il ordered the **glassing of the planet of Ach-to**, which drove the Insurgency back for a period of time, but ultimately was a display of cruelty that fueled their distaste for the Sith Empire further. During the period of their absolute reign, **Sith Apprentice Froggis** attempted to overthrow Darth N'il, but was beaten and exiled from the Sith Empire. He retreated to the Insurgency planet of **Yavin IV**, where he was inducted into the Jedi Order and began working against the Sith.

### The Battle of Exegol

A year after the glassing of Ach-to, the Jedi Grandmaster Sio, his padawan Konro, and the Jedi-Mandalorian Leo infiltrated the important Sith religious capital of Exegol, a planet which had become a stronghold for the Sith Empire. Upon entering the throne room, the Jedi began combat with Darth N'il and his Acolytes. Sio managed to remove the Dark Lord's left arm, his first injury ever received. Angered, Darth N'il easily swept the Jedi, forcing their retreat from the planet. However, this battle proved to be a massive embarrassment to the Sith Empire, and was a turning point in the Galaxy for the exiled Jedi.

### Maxir's Encounters and the New Acolytes

2 years after the battle of Exegol, Darth N'il took time to recover from his injury, allowing the Insurgency to make gains against the Empire. N'il sent his apprentice, Darth Maxir, to the planet of Tatooine to stop the Jedi from advancing further. However, Leo Kanne had been leading the campaign in the Outer Rim, and upon encountering his brother, Maxir felt conflicted, and was bested in a duel by his brother. Furious, Darth N'il **glassed Tatooine** with his Eclipse Fleet, and tortured Darth Maxir until he was forced to use a breathing apparatus to survive. Around this same time, 2 new Sith Acolytes, **Nel'lag** and **Invicta**, joined the Sith Empire. Their power was noticed by Darth N'il, who sent Invicta on a mission to invade the entirety of a star destroyer that was owned by what remained of the jedi order to prove his strength. After having an intense fight with a couple dozen weak jedi and a jedi master, the ship would crash. Invicta was forced to use all of his strength to stop himself from dying from the fall, and because of this when he landed he was captured and imprisoned in a secure facility by a former Sith Froggis. To release him from captivity, Darth Maxir and Nel'lag were sent to destroy the base. Upon arriving, Invicta had already escaped, killed Froggis in a short but brutal fight and was in the process of destroying the base singlehandedly. The three Sith destroyed the Jedi's influence on the planet, and as a final message, Darth Maxir caused a massive earthquake with the Force that caused a supervolcano eruption, which destroyed much of the planet's surface. After this, Invicta and Nel'lag were given the title Sith Lord, Invicta becoming Darth Invicta, and Nel'lag becoming Darth Cluster. Darth Maxir then approached Darth Cluster, offering for him to become his apprentice, to which he agreed.

### Battle of Mandalore and the Insurgency Wars

After the Sith had been forcing the Insurgency on the defensive, the strategic planet of Mandalore was taken by the Jedi Knight Leo. Upon the loss of the system, Darth Maxir was sent to face his brother for the final time. After arriving on the planet, Darth N'il and Darth Maxir fought through the invading Insurgency armies, and made it to the throne room. Maxir then **dueled** his brother, besting him swiftly. Darth N'il ordered Maxir to kill his brother, and after some deliberation, he complied, ending the last living connection to who he was before the Sith Empire. After this, Darth Maxir was made the **Right Hand** **of the Emperor**, due to his success. After this battle, the **Insurgency Wars** began, seeing several major battles like the **Battle of Yavin IV,** where Sio was converted to the Dark Side after a short skirmish with Darth N'il. Not trusting him, N'il placed him in a major Sith army, which would see Sio killed in an unknown battle. The Insurgency's leadership was then transferred to Sio's Padawan, Konro Kallus, who had become a significant problem for the Sith Empire.

### The Clash of the Dark Lords

Searching for more power, the two Sith Lords Darth Maxir and Darth Invicta go on a secret mission to find the spirit of the ancient **Emperor Vitiate**. The two eventually find his tomb on Korriban, but are transported into an alternate dimension controlled by the Dark Lord. The 3 engage Vitiate in combat, facing spiritual versions of their former foes. After defeating them all, they finally beat Vitiate and begin draining his Force Energy, destroying the alternate dimension as well. Once arriving back in the real world, they set in motion a plan to overthrow Darth N'il with their newfound power. Before this, they are brought to the ancient tomb of **Darth Revan**, an ancient Sith Lord who balanced both the Dark and Light sides of the Force. Upon entering the tomb, the two are tested by revealing their inner balance, ultimately showing that Darth Maxir had the greater connection to the Light Side, causing distrust between Darth N'il and his apprentice. Soon after this, the Sith Lords finally set in motion their plan to overthrow their Master. Under orders from Darth Invicta, Darth Cluster was sent on a mission with **Imperium**, to distract him from the impending showdown and to prevent any intervention. The two Lords called on their master to return to Korriban, where they tricked him into entering a tomb on the planet. Once they were inside, Darth Maxir attempted a surprise attack on Darth N'il, catching him by surprise. The duel between the three Lords took nearly the entire day to exhaust Darth N'il, until he was finally beaten, and had his energy drained. After his death, the Dark Lord left **a Sith Holocron** containing the rest of his teachings, as well as a piece of his spirit. Upon leaving Korriban, the two Lords decided that they no longer had a use for Imperium, and stripped him of his **mask**, as well as brutally beating him.

**Sith Reformations**

Under new leadership, Darth Maxir and Darth Invicta began reforming the Sith Council, placing Darth Cluster as its leader. The Sith now began a violent campaign against the Insurgency, pushing them back into the depths of the Outer Rim. During a conquest on Tython, Darth Invicta mortally wounded the Insurgency's leader, Konro Kallus, and left him stranded on the planet to die. The power struggle that followed found former Jedi Master Shaoovo as its acting leader, who began to militarize the Insurgency further. The **Fifth Jedi Purge** then began, seeing massive scale genocides ordered by the Sith leadership. The Jedi were once again forced into hiding, as the Sith retook control over the galaxy. During this time, Darth Invicta made Darth Maxir the Sith Emperor, so he could operate in the shadows and avoid the watchful eye of the Galaxy. After disappearing from the known galaxy, Darth Invicta sought out the Whills, powerful force entities who control the flow of life itself to try and get even more powerful. He ultimately lost, and his body was shattered into millions of pieces, as all the force and power he contained exploded and created a new star. However, his spirit escaped and latched onto his mask, which was later found by a boy named Tesseract, a child living in a cave on an unknown snow planet.

### Revival

Once Darth Maxir had exhausted the teachings of the Holocron, he sought the teachings of the last piece of his master's spirit, located beneath the throne room on Exegol. With the help of Darth Cluster, the two revived Darth N'il, who felt the Force presence of another: Darth Invicta. They traveled to the snow planet and located Tesseract who had recently touched the mask, which transferred Invicta's essence into the boy's soul. Upon reaching the planet, Darth Maxir decided to abandon the Sith after years of tyranny, betrayal, and internal loss. Aboard his starship was also Darth Cluster, who decided to follow his Master. Darth Maxir asked that Cluster kill him, to which he obliged and killed the Sith Lord. As his final wish, Darth Maxir asked that Cluster go into hiding to avoid the wrath of both the Sith and Jedi and return one day to build his own empire. Darth Cluster then fled to Dagobah, entering self-imposed exile. Tesseract, at this point, was sent into an odd coma for 50 years, which he lived inside of his head, learning from the spirit of Darth Invicta. On the top of the highest peak on Korriban, Darth Maxir's spirit spoke with Darth Invicta's, as well as the reborn Darth N'il. Together, they each returned to the **Netherworld of the Force**, leaving their will to their successors. With the two Dark Lords dead, and the Council's leader, Darth Cluster, nowhere to be found, the Sith Empire collapsed into several disorganized factions, each vying for the power the Sith Empire once held.

### The New Era

30 years after the demise of the Sith Empire, the Republic returns to power, as well as the Jedi Order. Led by Grandmaster Shaoovo, the Jedi battle the **Sith Remnants** across the galaxy, causing the **Third Galactic Civil War**. Amidst the chaos, Darth Cluster is visited by the spirit of Darth Maxir, who tells him to return to the galaxy, and unify the Sith Remnants. Following his instructions, Darth Cluster returns to Korriban, and conquers the Sith tribes there. He then reestablishes the Sith Academy and Sith Temples, as he begins his conquest of the other Sith remnants. A minor politician in the Galactic Congress, simply known as **Khan**, begins plotting to overthrow the Republic and start his own Sith Empire. Before he can set his plans into motion, he is visited by Tesseract, who had been learning Sith teachings from the spirit of Darth Invictta during his time frozen in a coma. He proposes a partnership to Khan, who accepts, and the two return to Korriban. Undenounced to them, Darth Cluster had already conquered the planet, and the three formed a mutual partnership to unify the Sith Remnants.
