Ancient Sith Lords of Star Wars
With the absence of Jedi Master Gnost-Dural, Keeper of the Jedi Archives, new entries must still be added to the Jedi Archives and the Galactic Timeline. The history of the ancient Sith Lords is filled with terror, and the origin of the Sith Empire lies within their exile and the lure of the darkside. The chronicle covers Ajunta Pall, XoXaan, Remulus Drepya, Karness Muur, Tulak Hord, Marka Ragnos, Naga Sadow, Freedon Nadd, Exar Kun, Ulic Qel-Droma, Gav Daragon, Jori Daragon and Darth Andeddu, all Sith who existed long before the Old Republic era. The visuals from this video are from Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR).
? Who was Ajunta Paul? After discovering the secret of creating and shaping life thousands of years before Star Wars: The Old Republic‘s timeline, Ajunta Pall was labelled a pawn of the darkside by the Jedi Order. In anger, Ajunta Pall declared war on the Jedi Order, and created the conflict known as the “Hundred-Year Darkness”. After ten decades of fighting, Ajunta Pall and his dark followers, including Xoxaan, Karness Murr, and Remulus Dreypa, were defeated, and exiled. In their search for a new home, the exiles discovered Korriban, and the force-sensitive red-skinned Sith. There, Ajunta Pall became the first Lord of the Sith, and founded the Sith Empire. During the expansion of the Sith Empire, they found the planet of Ziost, and chose it to be the capital of the Sith Empire. (After his death hundreds of years later, Ajunta Pall’s body was returned to Korriban’s tombs, where his spirit would be found thousands of years later by Revan in Knights of the Old Republic. Imperial players can also visit Ajunta Pall’s tomb on Korriban.)
? Who was Xoxaan? One of the followers of Ajunta Pall who wanted to explore the dark side of the force, XoXaan was a pale-skinned humanoid who was exiled from the Republic after the Hundred Years of Darkness where she fought alongside Karness Muur and Remulus Dreypa. She and Ajunta Pall’s fallen Jedi were the foudners of Korriban, and she was christened as the first of the Sith Lords. Though other Sith Lords possessed similar talents, XoXaan was noted amongst her peers for her skills in dark side healing, which was passed on via a holocron which was hidden in her tomb in the Valley of the Dark Lords.
? Remulus Dreypa was a Jedi Admiral who also fell to the dark side during the Hundred-Year Darkness, and followed the other exiled dark Jedi to Korriban and became an admiral of the Dark Jedi fleet. Dreypa played an important role in the developement of the Sith Order and Sith Philosophy – he believed that a true Sith should only live for themselves and that caring for others made one a slave of other individuals. During time life among the Sith, Dreypa also created oubliettes which would cause a being inside it to endure a living death. He was also a Master at Force Lightnimg. Some years later, having increased their dark powers and strengthened their dominion over the Sith, Dreypa and some of his fellow exiles decided that it was time to take their revenge on the Jedi Order and their weak Republic. They then assembled a strike force, gathering their new armies and their twisted Sith beasts. However, Dreypa and his forces came across a Jedi patrol, and after a pursuit across the galaxy, the Jedi and Sith ships crash landed on Kesh, where the space battle became a tremendous clash of lightsabers and Force powers. Dreypa and his Jedi adversaries fought with an unparalleled ferocity, devastating the planet by using all the weapons at their disposal including twisted Leviathan monsters. Horrified by the extent of the damage and the destructive impact of the conflict on Kesh and its inhabitants, his own Dark Jedi allies turned against him. In the end they sealed the Sith Lord in his own living death oubliette and formed a truce with their former Jedi opponents.
