1/7Riviembis Lihdasif (Born 7 BTC) was a cyborg Sith that joined the Imperatrix Centurii at the age of 22. She joined the Sith at the age of 10 under her master, Darth Ofaxsacspl, along with a fellow apprentice of his Arfinyn. She later joined the Imperatrix Centurii and later worked her way up through the ranks to become the fourth leader of the Imperatrix Centurii, although most people count her the third.

## Early Life

Riviembis was born on Nar Shaddaa to Masbray and Hayhele Lihdasif. She lived in the Red Light Sector for 10 years of her life alongside many criminals, whom her family had always told her to avoid. One day, 4 months after her 10th birthday, she came home to find 4 criminals in her home. Three of which held one of her family members, although the one holding her brother, Tectton, actually held a false corpse that had been dressed to look like Tectton. The criminals each removed the brains of her family, then deciding to torture the young Riviembis instead of kill her. One of her eyes was removed and her face was cut up with knives. She was only saved when Darth Ofaxsacspl, who had sensed her connection to the force in the market earlier that day, arrived and killed the criminals. He then gave her cybernetic parts and brought her to Korriban to train as his apprentice alongside one of her neighbors, Arfinyn, a Sith pureblood.

## Sith Training

Riviembis trained with Ofaxsacspl for 12 years. When she arrived at Korriban, she found an acolyte named Brancerro, who was close to being killed by the Sith for failing his trials. Riviembis and Arfinyn smuggle
d him off, and he went to train with his brother Ushmead in the Jedi Order, where he would also fail. During Rivi's training she completed many trials, making her way to the rank of Sith Lord. Lord Riviembis then joined a small militia that had been formed only a month before she joined. This militia was called the Imperatrix Centurii.

## The Original Centurii

### The New Recruit

Riviembis joined the Centurii when it was in it's early stages. It was led by the High Councilor and first leader of the

Imperatrix Centurii, Rallenthas during the first era. Rivi was still an apprentice to Ofaxsacspl at the time, who was growing more insane every day. Not long into Riviembis' time with the Centurii, Ofaxsacspl betrayed the Sith, starting a cult to worship him with a new apprentice, Szallath. Riviembis decided to stay with the Centurii instead of joining him, joining the Military Branch. Riviembs took on an apprentice around this time, Baul Bancroft IV. Riviembis was at one of the many bases of the Centurii on Dromund Kaas with Baul when the Revanites attacked. This base belonged to Sul'jin. She, along with Baul and Antrexius fought one of the Revanites together, but were unsuccessful and had to be saved by K'tah. This caused her apprentice to become disillusioned with the idea of becoming a Sith, and he became the Centurii janitor not long afterwards. Riviembis would not take on another apprentice for a long time after this.

### A Chance For Power

Riviembis attempted to run for Rallenthas' first council, but lost to Glalin, Qusai, and K'tah. Rallenthas would noticce Riviembis' effort, however. Rallenthas sent Riviembis on a mission instead. If she completed the mission, she would be promoted to an officer rank. The young Sith happily accepted, going to a cloning facility owned by the Republic. Riviembis slaughtered the workers and soldiers at the facility, including a Jedi. This Jedi, unknown to Rivi, was the

padawan of Ushmead. She destroyed the cloning data, but unknown to Riviembis, the data was transmitted to Ushmead, who gave it to his brother Brancerro for safe keeping. Riviembis was promoted to officer at the Umbra Sanctum, a casino on Nar Shadda, where Rallenthas would then name her new council. One week later, she was at the meeting where Drel'ossord took over the Centurii alongside his advisor, Mirnia, a long time Centurii member who owned the Umbra Sanctum.

## The Drel Era

### The Imperial Privateer

Under the leadership of Darth Drel'ossord, who renamed the position of High Councilor to Regent, the Imperatrix Centurii was changed. Instead of being an independent militia, they were now an Imperial-aligned Privateer organization. Riviembis stuck by the Centurii, not wanting to give up hope, like over 100 other Centurii members did. Drel'ossord created his own council, giving them branches to lead. Riviembis was at first promised the Tech branch, as she had become quite tech savvy, but she ended up not getting the position. Something similar happened to Destney, a fellow member of the Centurii that had been there for a long time. Destney decided to leave the Centurii to found her own organization. Meanwhile, Drel'ossord called the Centurii to another meeting. He named his new council, with Thanagost as his reliquary councilor, Antrexius as his mysticism councilor, and Rhoy as his tech councilor. Riviembis didn't just shrug this off. Riviembis, along with other members of the Centurii, started a resistance against Drel'ossord. One important member of this resistance was Admiral Machran.

### The First Advisor

    The revolution needed someone with power in the Centurii if they were to ever get far. Riviembis seeed the perfect candidate, as Drel had said she would be the tech councilor, although she did not get that position. Riviembis started to grow close to Rhoy, and after some time, was offered the position to advise the tech branch. This caused Riviembis to become the first council advisor of the Imperatrix Centurii. Under the leadership of Riviembis and Rhoy, the tech branch grew into the largest branch in the Centurii, which at the time, was dwindling in numbers.

### Establishing Connections

Riviembis' power still wasn't enough, so to impress Drel'ossord, Riviembis started a recruitment drive. During it, Riviembis brougth the Imperatrix Centurii's numbers from around 140 members to 250 members within a month. However, Drel'ossord was not impressed, because Drel'ossord went missing about a week into the recruitment drive. He has never been heard from since. Riviembis also got word from Destney that her organization needed help, so Riviembis grabbed Machran and went to help Destney's organization. They arrived to a wreck of an apartment in Kaas City, with barricades everywhere. Destney told Riviembis and Machran to stay upstairs while her people dealt with the problem. Riviembis and Machran stayed up there until they felt it was taking too long, so they went downstairs to find that Destney's organization was arguing with each other. A spy inside had done something to destroy the organization, but Riviembis and the resistance gained a crucial ally in Destney that day, who rejoined the Centurii.

### The Cult Strikes

Drel'ossord had kept the Centurii doing nothing, so they were completely unprepared for an attack. During a meeting of the tech branch, Riviembis left her apartment to get a bottle of Corellian Whiskey. While she was gone, other members of the Centurii waited for her at the apartment. A mysterious woman in a red cloak arrived, claiming to be called Szallath. She spoke of a cult following a man named Ofaxsacspl, and attempted to convert those of the Centurii. Riviembis came back, and with the help of Thanagost and Rhoy, killed the woman and threw her out the window. While this ended up being a clone, it still struck a significant blow to Ofaxsacspl, who now knew the Centurii wasn't completely defenseless. Riviembis' old friend Arfinyn arrived soon after, revealing that he had been spying on Ofaxsacspl's cult for Rivi for some time. He told the Centurii of a plan to stop the cult.

### The Centurii Strike Back

Riviembis and Arfinyn left to attack the cult base on Hoth while the other members of the Centurii would lure Szallath to Riviembis' apartment and fight her there. When the plan started to be carried out, Szallath had already arrived and planted guards around the apartment. The Centurii were defeated by Szallath, and she was only stopped after Rhoy convinced her to make an "Alliance." He ended up taking out her brain. That's when Riviembis called. She had arrived at Hoth, but Arfinyn had a strange glow around him. He betrayed Rivi, and a large group of Szallath clones captured Riviembis. Arfinyn left, making his way to Dromund Kaas to help Szallath, but a rogue clone, Beyiw, stopped by Riviembis' cell. She freed her along with a large group of refugees, including Net'skebio. They stole a ship, and thanks to Beyiw's superior piloting skills, caught up to Arfinyn over Belsavis, shooting him down.

### An Alliance

Riviembis got back in contact with Brancerro, who was now in charge of the Republica Centurii, an organization he had named after the Imperatrix Centurii to make an alliance sound better. However, the Imperatrix Centurii had been forbidden to make alliances after Rallenthas lost so many people to the allied organizations when she was in charge. However, Riviembis found a loophole in this, as the organization she allied with was with the Republic, and all of the Imperatrix Centurii members held a deep hatred for the Republic. That way, no one would leave for the Republica Centurii, but the Imperatrix Centurii would still get the benefits from them. This alliance would, however, be blocked by Drel'ossord. Riviembis knew this meant that someone had to take over.

The only real question was, who would take the throne?

## The New Centurii

### A New Leader

A droid that had previously conveyed the message of Drel'ossord's leadership arrived one day, soon after the death of Szallath. It claimed that a new leader has been announced for the Imperatrix Centurii, and that it was Antrexius. The Centurii rioted, and within days, that had changed.

### The Reluctant Ruler

Riviembis woke up one day to this droid above her one day. It claimed that due to popular demand, she was now the leader of the Imperatrix Centurii. She was hesitant to lead, however. She had learned from her job as advisor that she was not the greatest leader. Riviembis decided that if people wanted her to lead, she would. She gathered a group to be her council, with Destney as the Mysticism councilor, Rhoy staying as the Tech councilor, and Machran in charge of the new Military branch. Sadly, Machran went missing soon after, so Riviembis was left with Rhoy and Destney, who were not big fans of each other.

### Changes Are Made

Riviembis noted that when the Imperatrix Centurii was changed from an independent militia to an Imperial privateering force, the numbers dwindled. Therefore, Riviembis decided to change it back. Riviembis also decided to continue construction on a flagship that Drel'ossord had found on Quesh. She tasked Beyiw with construction, and moved on to other business.

### Five Years of War

Zakuul attacked soon after Riviembis took over, sending the Centurii into chaos. Riviembis created a group of clones called Soundblasters, from her apprentice Karuviswo, who would soon leave Riviembis and the Centurii after going insane from the cloning. Rhoy went missing soon after Zakuul attacked, leaving only Destney to council Riviembis.

#### The Temple

Riviembis got word from Net'skebio one day a couple years after Zakuul arrived that he had found something on Hoth. Riviembis, along with a small group of Centurii members including Net'skebio and Soundblaster clones including the one who would later become Grand Admiral, left to get Ofaxsacspl. Republic soldiers also arrived, led by Ushmead. Riviembis had told Brancerro of the threat, and Brancerro had sent word to his brother. They arrived in a cave, finding Ofaxsacspl. They fought him, Riviembis putting her saber through his heart, but he didn't seem to feel any of it. The cave soon started to collapse, and the group went to escape, saving an imprisoned Baul Bancroft IV in the process. Ushmead got stuck on something, and the Centurii did not have any time to save him. They left him behind to die.

#### Civil War

When Riviembis arrived back at the Centurii, they had gone to war with each other. One side wanted to stay independent while the other wished to join back with the Empire. Riviembis chose to join the independent side. After 2 years of fighting, during a large battle on Hoth, a ship arrived from the ally of the Imperatrix Centurii, the Republica Centurii. The leader, Brancerro, and a large army came. Riviembis, expecting help, went to meet with him, but his men started firing on both sides. The remaining members of the Centurii scattered, and never met up again for two years.

## Reconstruction

Destney and Net'skebio would meet up on the five year anniversary of Zakuul's invasion, where they agreed that the Centurii had to be brought back. Net'skebio gave Destney locations, and she started searching for Centurii members.

### Finding the Empress

Destney tried to figure out where to go first, and she settled on the Umbra Sanctum, as it was a place she was familiar with, and she had some choice words for Mirnia, the owner of the establishment. However, when Destney arrived, she would not find the Zabrak Sith, but instead a familiar Cyborg. Riviembis would not recognize Destney at first, threatening her with her lightsabers, but Destney would convince Riviembis who she was and why she was there. Riviembis would explain that, along with a few other things, she had been working on keeping Arfinyn alive for the past two years. Riviembis would show the finished product, then going back to leading the Centurii.

### The Other Centurii Members

Riviembis would take over personally going to find Centurii members, and Destney would start to disappear. Other people that did come back included Tre'lod'invar and Jaxiz, two people who helped out incredibly in rebuilding the Centurii. Another important member was Admiral Soundblaster, a clone who had become a war hero after the Centurii Civil War. These three would become familiar with the leadership roles of the Centurii, causing Riviembis to realize something.

#### The Worst Teacher

Riviembis would also gain a new apprentice around this time, Nelmauth, who had just found her aptitude with the force. Riviembis was thinking of assigning her to someone more experienced, like Sul'jin, but Nelmauth wouldn't listen, insisting that Riviembis teach her. Riviembis would hesitate, as her previous apprentices, Baul Bancroft IV and Karuviswo, had been disasters. Nevertheless, Riviembis was coaxed into teaching Nelmauth, being promised by

Nelmauth that she wouldn't fail Riviembis.

### Recreating A Council

Riviembis realized her council was gone, and that she would need a new one. She also happened to notice that the three who had helped most were each part of a different branch, and were well suited for the leadership of those branches. Riviembis decided she needed a new council.

#### Fulfilling A Promise

When Drel'ossord was in charge, his council was not elected, but was chosen by him. Riviembis was against this, along with a large portion of the Centurii, being more in favor of the council elections Rallenthas had. However, when Riviembis took over, she did not hold council elections. She claimed that the Centurii was in a time of healing, and forcing them to choose would be a thing she wouldn't want to do. That's why she chose three people who had been heavily experienced in the Centurii in different ways, Rhoy in the council, Destney in the founding, and Admiral Machran in the military itself.

Now, however, she knew she needed a vote. She needed to do what she had told the Centurii, and it had been long enough. She would hold a vote! She coaxed her three choices to run, and for some time, they were the only choices. That is, until an unexpected fourth choice arrived. The Lord of Anger, Destney, had come back, and she was running for reelection. Destney ran once again for the mysticism branch, and Riviembis worried that she may beat out Tre'lod'invar. Destney had experience, sure, but Tre'lod'invar had helped incredibly and deserved the position.

### The Results

Riviembis didn't sleep the night the votes closed. She hardly slept anyway, but this was different. She was worried, despite her friendship with Destney. However, when the rest of the Centurii woke, Riviembis was extremely happy. Tre'lod'invar, Jaxiz, and Admiral Soundblaster had won, and were now to be brought into the council. Riviembis decided to have an inauguration ceremony for the council, and also decided to implement something new.

### Good Advice

She would create the official position of council advisors, as she knew that advisors were incredibly important to keep a branch running. She had been the first advisor so long ago, and had helped grow the tech branch. Now, she looked for each councilor to pick an advisor, someone experienced and trusted. The only one who picked their own advisor was Jaxiz, who chose Sul'jin. The other two councilors were unsure who to choose, but Riviembis knew that Destney had to be one of them. She wanted Dest to be the Mysticism advisor, as she was the Mysticism councilor. However, Destney wanted something else. Military advisor was what she wished for, and Riviembis decided not to piss off the Lord of Anger.

## Betrayed

Riviembis would hold the inauguration three days after the results of the election were revealed. She planned for the event to be an extravagant party, but got something very different instead.

### Elite Guests

The event was, at first, to just hold members of the Imperatrix Centurii, but Destney approached Riviembis during the planning to explain a possible alliance she had made with a group called the Elite Dawn. She told Riviembis to talk to a man named Ceiv, and they arranged for the Elite Dawn to come to the inauguration as well to discuss the alliance.

### An Empty Beginning

The inauguration was planned to begin with all of the Centurii gathering as Rivi stood on the bridge, then for the council to arrive. Instead, Riviembis stood alone on the bridge with the Elite Dawn watching as the council and their advisors arrived, although Jaxiz was notably absent. Only one Centurii member was watching, and their name is not mentioned in the record.

### A Standard Ceremony

Aside from the absence of one of the councilors, and the lack of an advisor for Tre'lod'invar, the ceremony still went as planned. Everyone received the titles they were supposed to receive, and everyone was happy. Then, Riviembis, the council, the advisors, and the Elite Dawn went to make the deal in Riviembis' office.

### Stabbed in the Back

Riviembis sat waiting to hear from Ceiv, but instead of Ceiv talking, Destney did. She would explain how she had wanted to lead the Centurii ever since Rall was in charge, but she respected Rall. When Drel took over, she wanted nothing more than to lead instead, so she had formed her own order, which didn't work out. In Riviembis, she had seen almost a hope to get the Centurii back to the greatness it once had.

However, Destney claimed this was the wrong idea, and that Riviembis had not met her expectations. Destney then ordered the execution of the Centurii, and the Elite Dawn attempted to kill the Centurii. It's unknown if Destney even felt remorse for this, as Riviembis and her had become rather close.

### Duel of the Fates

Riviembis would ignore the Elite Dawn attempting to kill her, having Sul'jin and Soundblaster fight them off. Meanwhile, Tre'lod'invar fled, and Riviembis went straight for Destney, who had made her way to the bridge. They began to talk about the past, but it ended up being for nothing, as they both drew their sabers and began to fight. Soon enough, all of the people on the ship, both Centurii and Elite Dawn, were gathered around the two feuding friends. Sul'jin and Soundblaster put their guard down for a moment, and were knocked out. Soon enough, Riviembis was alone against Destney and the Elite Dawn.

#### The Unthinkable

    Riviembis had been hiding from her former master's spirit, but she knew there was nothing that could be done now. She sent the ship away from the safety of Belsavis, towards Hoth, where Riviembis would allow Ofaxsacspl to possess her. Ofaxsacspl utilized Riviembis' body to send the Centurion towards Hoth, and Destney finally realized what she'd done. She'd allowed herself to fight her friend, to let her get possessed by the monster they'd been trying to avoid. Destney called upon everyone, Elite Dawn and Centurii, to help her stop the mad ghost, and they did. Riviembis was knocked out, and Destney sent the ship back to Belsavis. Destney and the Dawn fled to the surface of Belsavis, where they would think they were safe.

### Healing

Riviembis would be knocked unconscious, and would stay possessed by Ofaxsacspl for a time when the Centurii went looking for an artifact to stop Ofaxsacspl's influence. They would find it on Belsavis, and would use it to exorcise the spirit from the Empress, mostly because of the fact that Net'skebio was in charge while she was not there.

## Destney Dilemmas

Riviembis would now be left with two choices, as Destney was now in the captivity of the Elite Dawn. Rescue the person who had betrayed her, or leave her friend for dead?

### An Unnecessary Decision

Riviembis decided that she would save Destney, and planned a day for the Centurii to gather to do this. However, when Riviembis was teaching her apprentice the day before she planned to save Destney, the two would hear footsteps from the other side of the room. Destney would stand at the edge of the room, telling Riviembis that she wished to help the Centurii in any way she could. Nelmauth, along with many other Centurii members, would distrust Destney, saying that it would be bad to welcome her back, but Riviembis couldn't deny her friend what she knew she deserved. Gladly, Admiral Soundblaster, who had been promoted to Grand Admiral Soundblaster after the inauguration mess, would allow Destney to be the Military advisor, although he would say that he would always take her advice with caution.

### Korriban Assassin's

Riviembis would be forced to deal with another Destney problem when Rivi checked the Centurii roster one day. The name of a certain Lord of Anger had been removed, and Riviembis planned to get to the bottom of this. She attempted to call Destney, but the holo-com would tell Riviembis that she had been blocked. Riviembis didn't know what to do, so she turned to an unlikely ally.

#### Deal With the Devil

Riviembis had no choice but to look to the person she thought Destney went to, Ceiv, the leader of the Elite Dawn. However, Ceiv claimed that Destney had also blocked him. Riviembis and Ceiv decided they shared a common goal in finding Destney, so they allied the two organizations together.

#### All Her Work Pays Off

Riviembis had spent five years rebuilding her old friend, Arfinyn, yet he had been kept away from a large amount of the Centurii. It was mostly due to his many betrayals of the Centurii. This is most likely why, when Destney received a message from him, she would tell him everything. She must have believed that he was against the Centurii as well, despite seeing the completed Arfinyn when she brought Riviembis back to the reformed Centurii.

Arfinyn would find out that Destney thought Riviembis was unqualified for the position of Empress in the Centurii, and that she would make a better ruler. Riviembis agreed with the thought of her being unqualified, but Riviembis also knew what happens when you let Destney lead. She had been there when Destney's Order collapsed.

#### The Advertisement

Riviembis and Ceiv would then find an ad on the holonet that would explain everything. While they both sat on Dromund Kaas, an advertisement played talking about a new group, called the Korriban Assassin's (Yes, that is the spelling). The voice on the advertisement belonged to the leader of the group, Empress Destney.

### Word From Korriban

* Arfinyn sending word to Grand Admiral Soundblaster about KorribanGo to Arfinyn
* Riviembis and the War Council receiving Arfinyn's message from SoundblasterGo to Councilors
1/2
Riviembis and Ceiv would agree to meet back together on Korriban with a small force, but Riviembis knew something seemed suspicious about Ceiv. She sent Arfinyn, Tre'lod'invar, and another officer to Korriban instead. She would hear back later that they met with a group of Elite Dawn members, led by Ceiv, but would also come across Destney and two members of the Korriban Assassin's, including Karuviswo, Riviembis' former apprentice.

### Staying Close

Riviembis would finally gain contact with Destney again when she received a call one day. Riviembis was dealing with Ofaxsacspl, who had been acting out again, when she was contacted by Destney. Destney explained that, despite leaving the Centurii, she still wished to stay and help. She also said something that stuck with Riviembis for a long time. "Nothing lasts forever. Not even the Centurii." She then asked for an alliance with the Imperatrix Centurii, and Riviembis accepted it. She knew this could put her in a rough spot with Ceiv, but she decided it was worth it. Some Centurii members argued it wasn't worth it, but Riviembis ignored them. Destney had been her friend for over six years, and she wouldn't betray her. Not now.

## The Return of Ofaxsacspl

Ofaxsacspl, throughout all of this, had been rebuilding his cult, despite being only a spirit.

### A Soft Voice

While it was thought he was dead, Ofaxsacspl didn't take long to reappear. He was first mentioned again by Beyiw once Riviembis sent Jaxiz and Tre'lod'invar to save her. She would say that she felt the spirit of Ofaxsacspl, heard him talking to her, whispering terrible things. She claimed the voice was extremely faint, as if he was still weak, but still was there. They would also find an old base of the Cult on Quesh, where it would be revealed that Brancerro and the Republica Centurii had been working with the Cult against the Centurii for a long time.

### The Old Master and the New Apprentice

Tre'lod'invar would lead an expedition team into a wrecked ship on Hoth (before he led the Mysticism branch), where they would find two cultists. One would be a host that had been hollowed out to be used by the spirit of Ofaxsacspl, but the other was Ofaxsacspl's new apprentice, Besrorrok.

The team would fight the two cultists, killing the host and capturing Besrorrok. Riviembis noticed many things about Besrorrok upon meeting him in the cells of the Centurion. She noticed he was trained to wield two sabers, as she was. This was unlike Ofaxsacspl's normal style, as his experience in that form was very limited. Perhaps he had noticed how well it had worked out for Riviembis, and how other forms didn't work well for Trortirr, Szallath, and Arfinyn.

### Interrogation

Riviembis had learned a lot of interrogating skills since she had joined the Centurii, mostly from Gribeso. She used this on Besrorrok to learn what he knew of Ofaxsacspl, and what she found was incredible. Apparently there was an artifact that could be used to limit Ofaxsacspl's power. The problem was, no one knew where the artifact was. Riviembis would search for a long time to find the artifact, but would find nothing.

### The Possession

Riviembis would use Ofaxsacspl to stop the traitors at the council inauguration after this, and then would be stuck in a cell knocked out, occasionally waking up, speaking as Ofaxsacspl, banging on the cell. Admiral Net'skebio would take over while Riviembis was in the cell, which caused many people to search harder for the artifact. This would be for many reasons. Net'skebio was only good at one thing, finding things. He would want to take credit for the artifact when it was used on Riviembis. The Centurii searched harder because they not only wanted the Empress back, they just didn't like Net'skebio. Tre'lod'invar and Grand Admiral Soundblaster would find the artifact on Belsavis. Guarding the artifact was Brancerro, who warned against taking the artifact. He didn't explain exactly why, but he tried to stop them from taking the artifact by attacking them. He won the fight, but then left the Centurii there, saying, "If you want the Centurii to die, take that artifact. Don't say I didn't warn you."

### An Exorcism

Riviembis had the spirit of Ofaxsacspl repelled from her by Tre'lod'invar, who used the artifact. Riviembis would be free of the spirit, for now, but it wouldn't last long. She knew they had to finish off Ofaxsacspl, and that they couldn't keep hiding from him, even though they had an artifact that could protect them.

It would be found out that Ofaxsacspl's main source of power was on the planet Belsavis, and that the artifact had kept his power suppressed. With the artifact gone, Ofaxsacspl grew in power. Riviembis would ponder why Brancerro didn't want Ofaxsacspl, his business partner, to grow in power.

## The Confrontation

Riviembis and the rest of the Centurii would spend months searching for the spirit of her dead Master. They looked all over the galaxy, but only found him after they received an urgent report from a soldier at a remote Centurii base.

### The Unknown Base

The soldier claimed to be from the Centurii's base on the fourth moon of the planet Yavin, commanded by Sul'jin. Riviembis would ask for proof of this, and the soldier would tell her to ask Sul'jin. Riviembis knew Sul'jin had left for a business trip to Hutta, and she didn't want to bother him. The Hutts are people you don't want to anger, after all. Riviembis decided to gather together anyone that she could to bring to this base, and she finally had a group. Riviembis, Destney, Tre'lod'invar, Grand Admiral Soundblaster, Jaxiz, Gribeso, Beyiw, and Heromercer would all go to the base on Yavin, where they would attempt to find out what was happening.

Beyiw dropped them of and they would start searching the place. They would find old Centurii memorabilia at the base, especially things that had once been in the home of Sul'jin on Dromund Kaas, a place Rivi would never forget after being humiliated by the Revanites alongside Antrexius and her first apprentice. This would confirm for Riviembis that this was Sul'jin's base, but she wondered why he had never mentioned it.

### An Ambush

Riviembis and the rest of the group would head up the stairs, and out towards the back of the base. Awaiting them were two Massassi. They injured the Grand Admiral, who would tell them to go on, he'd catch up. The group moved towards the bridge, where they would find the bodyguard of Brancerro, a Republic general named Fomraeusas.

Fomraeusas would attack the group, knocking Riviembis off of the bridge to what seemed like her death. In a fit of rage, Gribeso ran the general off of the bridge as well to avenge Riviembis. The group moved forward after mourning Riviembis, once again being joined by the Grand Admiral, who had healed up with kolto he had brought with him.

The group would fight another apprentice of Ofaxsacspl's who had joined the Republica Centurii, Trortirr. He would be easily defeated, and would be killed. They kept moving, coming across a statue that had been placed there. It depicted a man in a hood standing hunched over, his face not visible. This was a statue of Ofaxsacspl, something that his followers put in any location that the group claims for themselves. The Centurii would start to consider a plan of attack for Ofaxsacspl now that Riviembis was gone, but a voice told them that would be unnecessary.

### Alive?

Riviembis stood at the base of the statue. She explained how she had fallen from the bridge into a waterfall, where she had fallen into a large body of water on the bottom which had broken her fall. She was injured, but she assured them that she would make it to Ofaxsacspl. She never said whether she planned to make it farther than that, and it's assumed she thought she would die during the confrontation with her former Master.

### The Ritual

They would move on, finding an army of cultists waiting for them. At first Grand Admiral Soundblaster would plan to take them on, but Beyiw flew overhead in her ship, taking out a large portion of the army. She told them to go on, she would deal with them. She also destroyed one of the three tanks blocking the path, but wouldn't have any way to destroy the other two.

Destney would step forward, destroying one of the tanks by crushing it with the force. Riviembis would then jump into the other one, killing the

* The first tank blocking the path
* The other tank blocking the path
1/2driver. They would then move on, finding the entrance to the cave behind a large statue of a head.

Inside the cave would be a rancor. The Centurii would already be afraid of the beast, but would become more afraid when it was surrounded by a red aura. It began to speak, and they realized that Ofaxsacspl had possessed the rancor. The Centurii would fight the rancor, many of them becoming severely injured in the fight before Heromercer and Tre'lod'invar were the only two left. They finally defeated the rancor, but Ofaxsacspl's presence would still be felt by the Centurii. He would begin speaking through a nearby statue, and Riviembis would approach it. Soon, however, she would be possessed by Ofaxsacspl. This would mean that the Centurii would have to fight Riviembis.

Riviembis would be defeated by the Centurii, the final blow being dealt by Grand Admiral Soundblaster. Riviembis would be on her kneees, being kept still by Grand Admiral Soundblaster, when Tre'lod'invar took out the artifact from a pack he brought with him. He attempted to use it, but was unsure how. That's when the old Mysticism councilor, Destney, stepped forward, taking the artifact. She was being advised by the spirit of Szallath, who would also possess Riviembis, attempting to fight back Ofaxsacspl. Destney used the artifact to bind the spirit of Ofaxsacspl into the head of Riviembis, giving Riviembis his power, but leaving his spirit in her head. It would also bind the spirit of Szallath into Riviembis' head. The Centurii would leave the base, calling this a victory, but was it?

### A Checkup

Destney and Tre'lod'invar, the two Mysticism experts, would ask to check on Riviembis after this, going to the headquarters on Dromund Kaas to do so. It would be found out that Riviembis now was far more powerful with the force, but Riviembis would struggle with the voice of two insane ghosts bickering in her head constantly.

## Imperial Intervention

### A New Alliance

Riviembis would now be stuck with the two bickering ghosts of the most insane people she had ever known, but she dealt with it. Meanwhile Grand Admiral Soundblaster had made contact with a group of Imperial soldiers. He wouldn't tell Riviembis much about them at first, instead just

     inviting their leader, Obiradd, to the Centurion to talk to Riviembis. He would explain that he was with the 47th Imperial Expeditionary Force, and that he had heard great things about the Imperatrix Centurii when they were with the Empire under Drel'ossord's rule, but that there were many rumors of the Centurii not being sympathetic to the Empire. Riviembis would know that this was partly true, but would deny it, saying they were with the Empire. This would help the 47th IEF and the Imperatrix Centurii to forge an alliance that would prove helpful in the future.

### False Intelligence

Sith Intelligence, however, would not approve of this decision. They had been gathering information on the Centurii, and were aware of their ties to organizations against the Empire, such as the Republica Centurii and the Cult of Ofaxsacspl.

Riviembis sent out a distress call one day from the bridge of the Centurion, and her council would spring to action. Tre'lod'invar, Jaxiz, and Grand Admiral Soundblaster arrived to find Riviembis unconscious, and a Chiss Sith standing above her body. This man was named Caslibo, and he worked for Sith Intelligence. He was sent to assassinate Riviembis and her council, and he had just been given the perfect opportunity. The council fought him, but Caslibo proved victorious, only being sent off the ship by the presence of Ofaxsacspl, who possessed Riviembis and scared the Chiss enough to send him running. This would cause the Centurii to have to go into hiding, and they went into orbit around Ilum. All Centurii members would be confined to the Centurion or to go to Ilum. Most would choose to go to Ilum, but this proved the bad choice for Riviembis.

## A Growing Problem

Riviembis would however begin to struggle with the ghost of Ofaxsacspl, as he was increasingly taking over Riviembis without permission, and this would start to wear on Riviembis' health. She would grow incredibly weak, and Ofaxsacspl would begin to grow in power. At first, Riviembis was given an artifact to ward his power, and this worked for some time.

## The End of the Deal

Riviembis would go to Korriban once the Centurii had been brought off of the Empire's watchlist, where she would find Ceiv waiting for her. He

    would then tell her that he wished to speak privately on Dromund Kaas at the Elite Dawn's base, and Riviembis would agree to go with him. When they arrived, Riviembis noted the many Elite Dawn members around the base. She sat down with Ceiv and some of his most trusted members, who would begin to call Riviembis a traitor. They pulled out their weapons, and attempted to kill Riviembis, starting by cutting off her feet.

### A Distress Call

Riviembis would grab her communicator when given the chance, sending out a distress signal to every person she knew. It is unknown how many people received the message, but two people would act on it. Seraphhina and Obiradd would arrive at the Elite Dawn base, fighting off the Sith there as a footless Riviembis fought two Sith on her own. Ceiv would then yell for the Elite Dawn to focus on Riviembis, and Riviembis knew that was her time to get out of there. She went as fast as she could to the elevator, escaping the Elite Dawn and leaving Obiradd and Seraphhina with the enemy.

## A Puzzling Game

Riviembis would soon receive a message from a man that called himself T while she was at her apartment on Dromund Kaas. The message was a riddle. The first riddle was:

> "The blood of the eyeless socket awaits in the cold,
>
>

> Where a story will be told of the Jedi of old."
>
>

Riviembis would send a small team of Centurii members to check on this and it would be suspected this was talking of the one-eyed Admiral Net'skebio, who had been missing. The team went to Hoth, instead finding his sister. She said she was stranded here, and her ship had displayed a strange message.

> "Around the Nobles near the snow and grass
>
>

> A legend is said.
>
>

> A story of one who has no class,
>
>

> A Jedi who has lost his head."
>
>

The Centurii went back to the Centurion and rested, and Heromercer went to check on the Soundblaster clones. He would find a guard tampering with something, and the guard would claim he was under orders by Riviembis to check on the clones. Heromercer would believe this, which would not make Riviembis happy later, as this man was actually the puppet master of the riddles, and he would let out the clones while the Centurii was finding the next riddle. This would cause an uproar, as the clones would all fight against the Centurii (except the Grand Admiral). Riviembis would not understand what was happening, as the clones were designed to only follow orders from her via DNA. Who had Riviembis' DNA?

Riviembis knew the riddlemeant that someone was on Alderaan, and it would be found that the Jedi was Peythice Dekshal, the father of Brancerro and Ushmead. He was being housed in a castle to cure his insanity, and was given a message by a man he called "the trustworthy one." He would tell another riddle that had been told to him.

> "An Empire of Goods, this one does rule
>
>

> He won't be easy to find but don't worry.
>
>

> Go to Zakuul
>
>

> And please, hurry."
>
>

Everyone knew what this meant, they didn't even check in with Riviembis on the Centurion for this one. They headed to Zakuul to meet with Brancerro, who was easier to find than they'd thought. He had been stranded there when his ship was stolen by a mysterious Sith. He said all he found was this message:

> "You've come this far, but do not fret,
>
>

> I have people you haven't gotten yet.
>
>

> For him you must go beyond the fire.
>
>

> Awaitng you is the liar."
>
>

Riviembis would look hard to find where this riddle was talking about, then finding a distress signal from Arfinyn on Oricon. She assumed he must have been the liar, due to his lies about his allegiances back when he betrayed Riviembis six years before that. She sent the Centurii, and they found the cybernetically enhanced Sith, who was nearly fully droid, in a Dread Master temple on the surface of the lava-filled planet. He would give them another message:

> "The mystics see,
>
>

> This one does not.
>
>

> He seems to be...
>
>

> Unlike this bot."
>
>

Mystics was an obvious clue to the planet of Voss, although no one wanted to go there. The Centurii wouldn't even go to Riviembis, instead just finding Net'skebio on the planet, tied to a pole. When they got back to the ship, however, Riviembis was gone, and a message was there.

> "The one who built your ship
>
>

> Appears to be
>
>

> Taking a trip
>
>

> Where is she?"
>
>

They would foolishly think this meant Riviembis, and would go searching for her. They found signs of someone on Hutta, but it turned out to be Beyiw, the Szallath clone pilot that had built the Centurion. She did hold a new riddle, though.

> "These riddles take too long,
>
>

> But they have a reason.
>
>

> Go to the throng,
>
>

> Where the crystals and winter are always in season."
>
>

Throng was right, as the Centurii had lost all the Soundblaster clones. This would cause speculation of which clone this would be. They went to Ilum where the riddle told them to go, finding a clone of the Angry Soundblaster, which was strange due to his death when the clones were first released. He was surrounded by many normal Soundblaster clones as well, who would all sadly have to die, along with the Angry Soundblaster. He carried another riddle with him.

> He is in death as he was in life,
>
>

> A man filled with nothing but strife.
>
>

> He must pass on his brother's place
>
>

> Under the statue of a face.
>
>

This confused the Centurii at first, but then they remembered the Yavin base of the Centurii, which had a statue that had been destroyed, besides the face. They would head there to find the force-sensitive Soundblaster there. He would put up a fight, and was only killed when the Centurii was down, and a Sith Intelligence agent arrived, looking oddly similar to Riviembis. She would then would find the message, giving it to the Centurii.

> A terrible day, this must be
>
>

> For all that you have had to see
>
>

> I do so sorry, from the bottom of my heart.
>
>

> Go to the sands, this one has done his part.
>
>

Tatooine was the next destination, and the Centurii thought this was where they could find Riviembis, as she used to love that base. At the base of the Centurii on Tatooine that was once owned by Qusai, they found nothing but another riddle.

> I laugh at your belief of my sincerity.
>
>

> You know what it is? A pity.
>
>

> But nevertheless, I've a job to do.
>
>

> Go to Belsavis for this riddle part 2
>
>

On Belsavis, they would find Trortirr, who would try to fight them due to what "he" told him to do, but would be talked down by Tre'lod'invar. He would tell them the next riddle.

> A terrible planet, wouldn't you say?
>
>

> Well, too bad, for this next part you must stay.
>
>

> It turns out another one lurks in this prison.
>
>

> Head to the depths, give their riddle a listen?
>
>

When the Centurii went farther into the prisons on Belsavis, they would find Besrorrok, who would fight the Centurii claiming to be avenging Ofaxsacspl, but he would be defeated. He then passed on the next riddle.

> A battle was fought, a battle you lost.
>
>

> And with that battle came a cost.
>
>

> The winners were forced to pay one
>
>

> Who did nothing but sell their information.
>
>

Only one Centurii member would understand what this meant. Tre'lod'invar had purchased information about the Republica Centurii from one of their mercenaries, whose name was intentionally left out of records. He brought the Imperatrix Centurii to the Republica Centurii's cantina on Coruscant, where the mercenary was waiting. She sent the Centurii on a simple task for her, and they provided what was needed. She then gave the next riddle.

> The apprentice you know,
>
>

> The one your leader did grow
>
>

> Into a grand army for you,
>
>

> On a toxic planet inhabited by few.
>
>

Heromercer would shiver at this riddle. He knew it meant Riviembis' second apprentice, Karuviswo, who was the template for the Soundblaster clones. Karuviswo and Heromercer had fought many times, and a rivalry had grown between the two, even more than Karuviswo and his former master, Riviembis. The Centurii headed to Quesh, where they found Karuviswo waiting for them on a bridge overlooking a toxic river. The Centurii would fight the fallen Sith and would win due to the intervention of Imperial soldiers that happened to be passing by. He would then escape, but would manage to leave behind a message directly from the man in charge.

> Good job, you've done it. My little game is done.
>
>

> I must say congratulations, it seems that you've won.
>
>

> It's about damn time that you and I spoke.
>
>

> So go to your ship, and give the console a poke.
>
>

The Centurii headed back to the Centurion, where they would go to the console that received calls, and would find a call waiting for them. They answered it, and a voice went off on it saying:

> The moon,
>
>

> Her home.
>
>

> See you soon,
>
>

> For there I roam.
>
>

Net'skebio flew the ship to Nar Shaddaa, and Destney knew exactly where to look. Tied up on the bottom floor of the Umbra Sanctum was Riviembis, whose mask lay broken in front of her. She would tell them the truth, who was really

behind all this. It was Tectton, the brother of Riviembis that she thought died all those years ago when her family was killed on Nar Shaddaa. It turned out that he had staged the entire thing to get himself off of the grid, and it had been sabotaged by Ofaxsacspl. However, apparently Tectton heard about how many Centurii members arrived, and he wasn't prepared. He had fled, but left a final riddle.

> Ok, I promise it's done.
>
>

> My little web of riddles has been spun.
>
>

> Go back to where this little game begun.
>
>

> Get here, and we'll finally have some fun.
>
>

Riviembis would head to the Centurii where she would be healed, and Tre'lod'invar, Heromercer, Grand Admiral Soundblaster, and Jaxiz would head to Riviembis' apartment where she had gotten the first message. Sitting on the throne in Riviembis' throne room was Tectton. The Centurii confronted the brother of the Empress, who immediately attacked them. The fight was long and intense, and Tectton ended up victorious. He left the Centurii, claiming that he had done what he intended to do. He had broken the Centurii, and they would not mend again. What he said was true, especially due to the knowledge of many Centurii members that the Soundblaster clones were not completely loyal to the Centurii.

## Destroying an Empire

Riviembis would know that Zakuul was becoming a menace in the galaxy, and would need to be dealt with. She started looking over old records in the archives, and came across something that Ushmead had mentioned. He told Riviembis that he was on Rishi because "The Alliance" sent him there. Riviembis didn't know who it was that he was talking about, so she decided to look further into it. She would find that an Alliance between Republic and Imperial soldiers had been put together by a former Republic SIS member and a Sith Lord, and Riviembis decided it was time the Centurii threw their support in as well.

### The Final Fight

Riviembis would fight alongside the Alliance on the planet they began to call home, Odessen, when the Zakuul Empire attacked twice. During the second attack, she would nearly die when a Zakuul Knight had her at the end of his saber, but was slayed by Brancerro, who shot the Knight and saved Riviembis, getting her medical attention for the wounds she had sustained during the fight. She would become incredibly injured, and a certain ghost would start to appear, unlike the Centurii, who seemed to have mostly gone silent after the attack.

## The Master's End

After many months of silence from Ofaxsacspl, he would emerge again, and Riviembis would become close to death. Only two people were still on the Centurion, and there was no time to get her anywhere else. Tre'lod'invar and Beyiw struggled to find a way to help the dying Empress, and would look to the artifact that was used to bind Ofaxsacspl. It would state a ritual to kill him as well, but it was a fatal ritual for the host as well. A host strong enough in the force to be able to survive holding Ofaxsacspl was needed, and they were short on time, so Beyiw volunteered. They convinced Ofaxsacspl to transfer himself to Beyiw. Tre'lod'invar would perform the ritual, but Ofaxsacspl wouldn't go down without a fight. Beyiw fought back until she couldn't hold him anymore, which was right before the ritual ended. Just as Ofaxsacspl finally took control, Tre'lod'invar completed the ritual, and killed the old Sith, as well as the clone of Szallath that had been their best pilot and most loyal soldier.

## Resignation

Riviembis would wake up to watch her friend die. She blamed herself for not doing the ritual sooner. The ghost of Szallath in Riviembis' head would agree, and Riviembis would flee into space on her personal ship. Tre'lod'invar would bring the Centurion all across the galaxy searching for her, and would finally find her on Rishi. He convinced her to come back to leading, but the death of Szallath had shaken the Imperatrix Centurii. It would never be the same, and would begin to die with her.
