Darth Stultuminis

***Darth Stultuminis* {stull-ti-mi-nis)** (more commonly known as Darth Binks) was a sith hiding in the shadows, creating his own sith order to eradicate the order that Darth Bane had established thousands of years earlier.

## Biography

### Mentorship

Stultuminis was taught in the dark side by Darth Tenebrous, who wanted the ashes of the old sith order to rise again. To do this, he trained three sith apprentices, each of which training their own apprentices. The other two apprentices were Darth Plagueis and Darth Venamis.

### Shadows

While Plagueis was training Darth Sidious, Stultuminis was slowly creating the Sith Republic, a new Sith Order that would bring eternal peace to the galaxy. This order did not have the rule of two implemented. Instead, there were no limits to how many sith there could be. However, there was only one sole ruler, which was Stultuminis. The Sith Republic's construction was finally completed right before the events of Episode III.

### Senator Binks

As soon as Stultuminis was elected as Senator of the Galactic Republic, his plan was slowly falling into place. He eventually gave Palpatine, the sith lord, emergency powers to allow him to not only create a clone army, but also to make them turn against the Jedi. In his words "Sidious was blinded by control. Giving him emergency powers was like giving a toy to a child." Eventually, right after the events of The Empire Strikes Back, he engaged in combat with Palpatine.

### The Death of Sidious

Stultuminis, after a long duel, cut off Palpatine's hands. Stultuminis put his lightsaber at Palpatine's neck as he laid on the ground, mirroring Mace Windu from Revenge of the Sith. Palpatine and Stultuminis both shoot force lightning at each other at the same time. It eventually becomes a ball of force energy. Before Palpatine can react, Stultuminis force pushes the ball into Palpatine's face, killing him almost instantly. Eventually, the rule of the Sith Republic had begun. Jar Jar had won.

### The Reign of the Sith Republic

The Sith Republic, unlike the many orders before it, were not interested in destruction. They were simply interested in bringing order to the galaxy through the dark side of the force. They were not exactly evil. They were more similar to the Jedi than the Sith, and many people called it "The New Jedi Order." They had many notable members, including Snoke and Rey's father. During this era, Stultuminis was not afraid of any Jedi. After all, almost all of them were dead, and the only Jedi that ever bested him died many years prior. He was the sole ruler of the galaxy, and nobody could usurp him.

### The Republican War

Despite the Sith Republic being very similar to the Jedi Order, the remaining Jedi wanted to destroy the Republic and restore the Jedi order. They declared war on the Republic, despite the fact they needed to hide. When they sent a transmission to Balnab, they accidentally revealed their location to be on Yavin IV. Binks sent Snoke to kill the remaining Jedi on the planet. War had begun Snoke killed many notable Jedi including Cere Junda, who appeared in Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. This attack is when the Jedi Alliance was formed. They were very similar to the Rebel Alliance and even used similar ships.

#### Battle over Balnab

Shortly after the Jedi Alliance was formed, they performed an attack over the home planet of the Sith Republic, Balnab. The attack was very unsuccessful, and many Jedi died. Most notably, Ahsoka Tano, who was shot down by Darth Iroquois.

#### Attack on Yavin IV

Two days after the Battle over Balnab, Binks secretly sent out a legion of ships to wipe out the Jedi Alliance. He knew that he could catch them off guard while they were distracted. In fact, Binks was so cocky, he sent out Snoke, his best solider, to take part in the attack. The Jedi were barely even prepared. They did not see the attack coming and were caught off guard. However, they did take out many ships, leaving only four left, including Snoke. When Binks found out, he decided that he would continue the Emperor's plan and complete the Death Star, so he could destroy Yavin and destroy the Jedi.

#### Discovery on Dagobah

Three hours after the attack on Yavin IV, Binks, through focus and concentration, found out that the Jedi Grand Master was on Dagobah. Binks immediately sent an entire fleet to Dagobah to look for Yoda. They eventually found a small hut, went inside, and all of the soldiers were quickly killed by the Grand Master. When Binks found out, he decided he would not investigate any further to prevent the loss of more soldiers.

##### Lies and Slander

Binks eventually decided that in order to complete the Death Star, he would have to spread propaganda to get people into check. This worked, and it drastically sped up the completion of the Death Star.

#### Battle over Kamino

The Battle over Kamino was perhaps the most influential battle throughout the entire Republican War. The Jedi Alliance lost nearly their entire fleet, and almost every Jedi died. The only Jedi to survive were Quinlan Vos, Kanan Jarrus, Obi Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Rune. However, it was believed for many years that they died during the battle.

### Peace

For the next 20 years, there was peace and order throughout the galaxy. The Sith Republic controlled everything. The Death Star was completed. And to celebrate 20 years of peace, Binks decided he would blast the death star's super laser at Yavin IV. However, this is the planet that three of the five remaining jedi were staying on. So, 60 percent of the Jedi were killed in an instant without anybody even realizing it. There was true peace in the galaxy.

### Death

Binks used the dark side of the force, night sister magic, and the light side of the force to keep himself alive, and he was considered by many to be immortal, until 19 ABY, when he died and gave his leadership to Snoke, saying "You are the strongest now. Which means you shall rule."

## Powers and abilities

### Lightsaber Combat

Binks generally used an old Jedi technique called Morichro, which slowly slows down the body functions of an opponent to the point of death. However, when he was training Snoke and Iroquois, he generally used form III, Soresu to prevent the death of his soldiers.

### The Force

Binks was an extremely powerful force user, and in his prime, was considered to be the most gifted force user in existence. He was skilled in almost every dark side and light side power, including things that even Palpatine never had any knowledge of.
