•Personality: Praises Order above all, Ruthless, Loyal, duty bound

•Biography: Galard Rowe hated what the republic had become corruption was widespread and his beloved navy was suffering for it. He had finally had enough when the republic failed time and time again on decisions regarding military spending for the ongoing conflict with the Mandalorians. Galard quickly retired after the war and went on to become a professor at the Republic Naval Officer Academy. A prestigious position and a good retirement for any discharged military personnel. Though some of his more radical statements at the Academy did not sit well with some republic senators and as such he was let go from his position. This would most likely be the end for Galard but someone else had been listening to his views and had taken notice. Darth Atrox, had listened and liked the potential of the retired Admiral especially his uses for the upcoming war effort. Many years later Galard had found Darth Atrox to be just the man to serve in pursuit of a peaceful galaxy, an orderly galaxy.

•Character Full Name: Drik Choren, Darth Zaki

•Gender: Male

•Race/Species: Human

•Age: 23

•Height: 5'11

•Weight: 175 pounds

•Voice: Similar to Anakin Skywalker

•Physical Appearance:

•Homeworld: Tatooine

•Personality: Darth Zaki is a cold and angry man. He tries to remain a calm, calculating person, but if his anger gets the better of him he tends to lash out and act erratically.

•Biography: Drik Choren was born to a loving and caring mother and to a alcoholic and abusive father on Tatooine. Throughout his early childhood, he and his family lived in severe poverty. He and his mother also lived in fear of his father, who many times came home late at night, drunk. Constantly, eleven years, his father beat Drik and his mother for every perceived slight in his life. For eleven years, his mother took to most of it, shielding Drik from his father the best she could. She was the reason Drik never tried to run away and was the reason he saw the good in the world. However, this could not last. One night, when his father was particularly drunk and angry, he began to beat Drik more severely than ever before. His mother got in between them, striking his father and screaming. So, he turned his attention on her. Drik tried to intervene himself, but was thrown to the side every time. Eventually, his father had beat his mother to death. Drik ran to her side, crying, as his father turned to leave. Drik cursed at his father as he did. His father stopped, turned, and walked back towards him to finish what he started. In a rage, Drik let out all his pent up rage in a single force push, sending his father flying into the wall, knocking him unconscious. Drik entered their tiny kitchen and returned to his father's prone body. He lifted his head back and slit his father's throat. With that done, Drik left his home in a haze. The next few years were filled with thieving, lying, cheating, and gambling to stay alive.

That was, of course, until some strangers visited the city he was living in when he was 17 years old. He saw them as nothing more than likely wealthy targets to rob. So, at night, he snuck into their rooms, dagger in hand. He went to slit their throats, but before he knew it, he was floating above the ground, clawing at his throat as he slowly choked to death. So, he did something he had done only one other time before. With all his might, attempted to recreate that moment with his father. The towering figure that was killing him with the force was surprised. He dropped Drik, not because the force push was powerful enough to knock him off balance, but because the Sith Lord saw potential in the boy. The Sith offered Drik an opportunity. A chance to learn to dark side of the force and hone his great powers. A chance to make something of himself and give himself a better life. Drik accepted.

Over the years that followed, Drik, who was now Darth Zaki, became a loyal follower of the Sith Empire. When it collapsed, he thought all was lost. Everything that he had was gone, and everything he had built was lost. But then, he was approached by Darth Atrox. Zaki was impressed by the man. He couldn't help but follow him. As time went on, Darth Zaki grew more and more loyal to Atrox until now, when he has decided that he would blindly follow the man and lay down his life for him.

•Character Full Name: HK-34

•Gender: Masculine programming

•Race/Species: Droid, HK-series assassination droid

•Age: 72 years

•Height: 6'2"

•Weight: Heavier than average HK-Series - perhaps ~190 pounds

•Voice: Link to approximation

•Physical Appearance: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/swtor/images/0/0d/HK-51_ingame.png/revision/latest?cb=20130403163233

•Homeworld: Korriban

•Personality:

HK-34 is somewhat different in personality when compared to other HK-series droids. He is extremely independent, compared to most other HK-series droids, and has no issue with improvising or completely disobeying orders. He is as much as anything else a survivor. He is greatly irked by those who underestimate him or are prejudiced against him or his 'kind', and has no issue with killing those who offend him.

•Biography:

HK-34 was built 72 years ago by the Czerka Corporation. From there for around 50 years, HK-34 operated within standard capacity, following orders, eliminating targets, and becoming generally adept at tasks he was given. However, on one assignment with a group of tech smugglers and criminals, the ship he was on came into an ion storm. The smugglers and criminals deemed HK-34 the most able to deal with the threat of the ion storm, and tasked him with dealing with any malfunctioning equipment or jettisoning any unnecessary equipment to streamline the ship. As he was completing this task, HK-34 was hit by an ionic blast. However, instead of dying immediately as many would have, this HK unit survived, simply damaging a few circuits. As such, HK-34 developed a degree of free thought. Recognising what the smugglers had done by putting him into that much danger, he killed them all easily, and resumed control of the ship as its sole crew. However, the issue of his damaged circuitry became something too difficult to ignore. As such, using the technology in the hold of the ship, HK-34 patched his systems. However, realising that the circuitry additions he was making were adding systems which could become useful, and as such, HK-34 began to search for circuitry which would be useful. His original circuitry allowed for basic reasoning and speech, assassination protocols, those sorts of things. However, HK-34 added various bits of circuitry, including diplomatic programming from a protocol droid, tactical algorithms far beyond those of his initial programming, and expanded memory.

When the ship came into spaceport on Nar Shaddaa, HK-34 now with a much greater understanding of the universe and a desire to have some place in it, he sold the ship to a decent bidder, and with the money, purchased more parts, and was able to supplement himself with far better equipment, retaining all of his memories and experiences while increasing processing power and intellect. Eventually, HK-34 attained a point at which he believed he was fully capable, and became a mercenary for hire. In his travels, he was tasked by an underground movement of Sith to kill a certain Darth Atrox. In the course of his mission, he found Atrox to be able to offer him far more than the money of his commission - status, position and the chance to kill plenty more than simply the odd smuggler or scoundrel. HK-34 joined Atrox, and became indispensable as an enforcer. Even as a non-force-sensitive being, HK-34 proved useful for killing Jedi, and could hold his own and more against some of the most skilled force users.

•Character Full Name: Nikkos Sunry

•Gender:Male

•Race/Species:Human

•Age:29

•Height: 5"6

•Weight: 170lbs

•Voice: Harron Atkins

•Physical Appearance: more or less, he has glasses and some deathsticks with as well as a flask with ale

•Homeworld: He is spaceborne

•Personality: Nikkos is a Sith one does not find in the galaxy. He is a Sith that knows of planning and mercy, something he adopted when he was a former Jedi Sentinel. However, he is one that has thrown away his spirituality and the need for power, focusing on his humanity. He knows the corrupting power the Dark Side holds on him, yet he sees himself as beyond redemption by the Light. Instead he seeks to understand the Dark Side and try to survive with it, living with the taint that he embraced fully back when he was in Revan and Malak's ranks. It was this predatory sense and primal urges of the Dark Side he pulls from to do his job.

•Biography: Nikkos was born on a smuggler ship to the rest of the galaxy. Never knowing that he was force-sensitive until Jedi found the ship on Nar Shadaa. Nikkos was only three yet he had been taken away as leverage for his father to not get in trouble with the local Hutts and Nikkos forgot about his father years into his training. Nikkos himself was naturally gifted, not in the ways of dueling or Force power but in skills and versatility with Force abilities.

Where other Yongins favored the lightsaber, Nikkos favored the blaster and found fun ways of pranking his peers. The Jedi Masters felt, while cunning, felt that he needs more correction than most because he didn't take the Code to heart as much as others. Because of this, it took him longer to become a padawaan in the ways of a Jedi Sentinel.

As a Jedi Sentinel, he reveled in learning on how to make his skills enhanced by the Force, being more flexible with his abilities. Among those abilities was being able to go invisible in the Force and develop acute tracking skills. It was these skills that served him as he followed Revan and Malak in the Mandolorian Wars, where he served as a assassin and commando for the future Dark Lords.

With every kill and victory in his silent operations, he fell closer to the Dark Side. Nikkos didn't mind it, he used the small power gains to help him complete more dangerous missions. Even after Malachor V he had grown more of a predatory beast, one who stealthily kills his prey for the Dark Lord. This was only supplemented from his training as a Sith Assassin and he relished in it but after the capture of Darth Revan was when he ever started to question what he was doing.

He saw the Sith for what they were, for he became. He saw that power and usurping one another was more commonplace and was blind by his passion for killing to even remember why he followed the two in the first place. Instead of returning to the Jedi Council to accept punishment, he traveled across the galaxy as a bounty hunter. He tried to forget, not using the Force as much as he wanted while doing being in brothels, doing spice, smoking or drinking the nightmares away.

Still, he used the Force as he heard the Call of the Dark Side. Yet the Dark Side wasn't as primal as it used to be, but more soothing and comforting. He still didn't want to accept it, even going as far as falling back on Jedi teachings to keep from embracing the use of the Force again. Yet, the Dark Side never let go of him yet.

A single contract led him to Darth Atrox, who was looking for expert mercs and bounty hunters. Nikkos didn't care for the fragmented Sith Empire as these new pretenders were nothing to him. However Atrox caught on quickly when Nikkos used the Force to locate an illusive rival of his employers and killed him with mild difficulty. It was then Atrox had asked Nikkos to join as a assassin but the former Sith refused, declaring that the idea of the Sith was pointless and were only slaves to the strength they crave.

However, Darth Atrox held knowledge that Nikkos could use, techniques that may help him finally be able to stop the corruption, or finally get him back in the primal power that he once had. Either way, Nikkos begrudgingly accepted being recruited in exchange for credits and a place to continue his training as a Sith Assassin. Of course, he knew that going back in the Dark Side was bad for his mind and soul, yet he uses the Jedi meditation techniques to calm himself from the taint as he finds a way to balance himself.

•Lightsaber: A normal silver lightsaber

•Midichlorian Count: 10,500

•Force Abilities: As trained both in the ways of a Jedi Sentinel and a Sith Assassin, Nikkos has trained in Force abilities that favored the styles that he can remain anonymous and work on gathering information and helping people. He has a strong use of telepathy and persuasion when it comes to handling difficult people. He also is trained in telekinesis to some extent but mostly to enhance saber and blaster combat.

One thing is was a true master in was the use of Force camouflage and tracking. Using the Force, Nikkos was able to pinpoint his targets with an accuracy few can match. Coupled with his Sith Assassin style of gaining strength primarily from the Force of his targets, makes him an effective assassin.

Among his defensive skills, he can use the trademark Force Resistance against various ailments and things that could effect normal or lesser Force Sensitives.

•Prefered Saber Style: Form VI, even keeps the basic idea of moderation over aggression as he doesn't want the Dark Side to get in the way of his fighting too much. He puts emphasis on using versatile tools, unarmed combat, and creative use of the Force.

•Secondary(Second favored) Saber Style:Dun Möch, despite not being a saber style, Nikkos has an affinity for this combat form. Taught by him in his Sith Assassin days and is used to inspire fear and probe weakness to kill his targets. Amplified with telepathy and Force Persuasion can be have applied effect to disarm his opponents, which is more preferred than killing them.

•Character Full Name: Sinya Rol, or Darth Sehvet

•Gender: Female

•Race/Species: Twi'Lek

•Age: 32

•Height: 5'10"

•Weight: 135 lbs

•Voice: Sylvanas from Warcraft, just without the echo

•Physical Appearance:

•Homeworld: She doesn't remember, but her childhood was spent on Dantooine

•Personality: Chaotic and yet calculated, Sehvet does not care who does what, as long as she rules over them. She demands absolute loyalty from her followers, and in return lets them run rampant and free. She sees restrictions as shackles and rules as a prison, a prison that one must be released from in order to experience true power. A hedonist without measure, Sehvet relishes in every emotion that she can grasp. Her frequent indulgences and "parties" are known in the areas controlled by Atrox's forces to be complete cesspits of dengeneracy and Sehvet sometimes even forces people to attend as a punishment.

Perhaps hypocritical to her hatred of rules is her joy in placing them upon others. Sehvet takes particular joy in breaking and rewriting the brains of those weaker than her, especially Jedi. She is one of the most accomplished Sith mind breakers and it brings her much joy to be able to claim that. Third to her hedonistic loves and her sadism is her curiosity and her constant search for knowledge. Sehvet is a large proponent of Archaeology in Atrox's empire and will often back any venture into Sith tombs, so long as she is the first to hear of any findings.

•Biography: Sinya Rol was born some 32 years ago somewhere in the Outer Rim. Where and when exactly doesn't truely matter, and Sehvet has never properly bothered to find out, as to her it didn't really matter. What mattered was that she was born, and her family didn't care about her enough to keep her. She was sold into slavery as a baby, to be raised in some Hutt orphanage as a future servant to a crime lord. Luckily for her, a lone Jedi on Nar Shaddaa broke into the Orphanage and freed her when she was two years old. The Jedi sensed that Sinya was strong in the force, and took her back with him to Dantooine, so that she could be raised by the Order. Though Sinya wanted her rescuer to stay, that was the last she would see of the man who would one day become her greatest nemesis, Master Trig Kinolo.

Sinya took to the teachings of the Jedi better than most of the young children on Dantooine. Her quick progress through the trials gathered attention from the masters of the Dantooine academy, and recognizing that they could not properly feed the child's curiosity, sent Sinya to study on Coruscant. She was ten when she arrived at the main Jedi Academy, and quickly fell into the vast wealth of knowledge now availible to her. Sinya became a padawan when she was 16 years old, and it was then that she also had her first exposure to the dark side. Travelling to Castilon in the outer rim, Sinya performed an arcchaeological dig at a rumored Jedi temple, only instead found the only relic to be a Holocron, the likes of which she had never seen before. Glowing red and pyramid shaped, it intrigued Sinya, and she began to toy with it as she finished her excavations. It began to whisper secrets to her, promises of power and glory, encouraging feelings she had repressed and alerting her to wants that she didn't know that she had.

Emerging from the ruins a changed person, Sinya began to search for more holocrons to extract the knowledge from. After two years of it, she had almost forgotten the Jedi entirely. Her desire however finally got the better of her, causing her to be captured by a rogue bounty hunter working for a Hutt. Just when all of her hope seemed lost, a lone figure appeared, once more rescuing her from the clutches of slavery. But this time, instead of Master Kinolo, it was a young Jedi Knight that would one day be known as Revan.

Sinya became enamored with Revan, even if the young man would never even come close to thinking about her the same way. Sinya was brought back to Coruscant following her rescue, and she underwent mental treatment after her dissappearance. Though she had only been captive for a month at the time of her rescue, the Jedi had assumed it was much longer due to Sinya cutting her comms off almost a year and a half prior. Sinya gladly underwent the treatment, yet as she became reaquainted to Jedi society, something didn't feel right. She no longer felt fervor for the light the way she had. It wasn't the strange trance her holocrons had put her into. But there was no denying the void within her, an emptiness that craved filling. She searched for knowledge for years within the Jedi Archives, and when her searchs came up empty, Sinya began to experiment. At first it was harmless things, little bolts of lightening in her room, draining the vitality of flowers. But it was not enough. She began to take regular trips into the lower levels of Corsucant, to test her new powers on the addicts and dead beats, the ones that no one would miss. And she fulfilled her dark urges with them.

She desired more. More power. It was an addiction, filling her with want and hunger that she was not going to be able to satisfy soon. Once again, her salvation came in the form of the man who would be Revan, who by now was gathering his followers on Cathar. Jouneying there, Sinya was present to witness the great vision of the Cathar massacre and the declaration of Revan's new name. When the Jedi Council granted Revan the permission to go to war, Sinya gladly followed, eager for a place to truly test her new powers. The Mandalorian wars proved brutal, and Sinya became specialized in stealth missions, applying her new talents in secret until Revan himself had been corrupted to the point where Sinya became more honest in her use of the Dark Side. She gladly followed Revan all the way to Malachor, but at that point their paths split.

Sinya decided to pursue her holocrons once more, and after recovering her previous collection from Nar Shaddaa, she properly delved into them, now able to access their full potential with her potency in the Dark Side. The whispers became voices and the history of the Sith became known to her. Even as Revan and Malak were turned into Sith Lords by the Emperor, Sinya crowned herself, killing her Jedi Persona in the depths of the Outer Rim and rising again as Darth Sehvet.

Sehvet stuck to the shadows for the following years, preferring not to get involved with the great war now engulfing the Galaxy as Sith and Republic tore each other apart. Inside she played them off each other and developed herself a power base amongst multiple Outer Rim worlds. Her efforts were going well when she met her true obstacle. A lone Jedi, investigating reports of the Sith Lord's appearing in the Outer Rim. Trig Kinolo. Over the course of a year, Master Kinolo shattered her small Sith Cult, and sent Sehvet fleeing into the stars, unable to keep up with the Jedi Master. Recognizing that she was not yet strong enough to face Kinolo herself, Sehvet made headway by reintroducing herself to Malak. Without telling Revan, Malak positioned her on Korriban, where she specialized in breaking Jedi, turning them to the Dark Side, and training them as Sith. She watched from the background as Malak betrayed Revan, and then as the Empire collapsed around them.

Fleeing Korriban the moment the Star Forge fell, Sehvet returned to the worlds where she had built her cult, and applying the lessons she had learned, once more building up a power base. Engaging lightly in the infighting that now engaged the Empire, Sehvet desired the power of Dark Lord for herself, but knew that she was too wild, too... degenerate for most Sith to follow. At first. She would ride the coat tails of one much stronger than herself, then when the time was right, she would take their power for herself. Her plots already starting to take form, Sehvet aligned herself with a strong contender for the title, Darth Atrox. She has served him "faithfully" for about a year now, biding her time until she can begin to set her plans into motion.

•Character Full Name: Darth Kendo (Bren Katar)

•Gender: M

•Race/Species: Zabrak

•Age: 56 Born 4010BBY

•Height: 1.8 meters, 5’ 9”

•Weight: 200lbs

•Physical Appearance:

•Homeworld:Iridonia

•Personality: Cold, Calm, Analytical, Calculating, Dedicated, Focused,

•Biography: Born on the Zabrak Homeworld of Iridonia, Darth Kendo was born to the Katar family, known for producing a number of force-users over the centuries. Katar was shipped off at a young age to study with the Jedi.

At age 13 he became a Padawan joining his Master in the Krath Holy Crusade where he watched many Jedi fall to the Sith Cult and where he met the legendary Nomi Sunrider. He was present at the defeat of Exar Kun at the Battle of Yavin 4 before being reassigned with his master to more peaceful pursuits throughout the galaxy for about a decade, spending much of his time perfecting his force abilities including battle meditation as well as mastering his masters chosen lightsaber form of Soresu.

At Age 23 Katar was granted knighthood and began taking policing duties throughout the galaxy often working closely with Republic authorities and military, he became adept at commanding military forces, strategic and tactical thinking taking several years to study with military authorities in the Republic and across the galaxy much to the discomfort of other Jedi.

In 3976BBY at age 34 Katar was alarmed by the beginnings of the Mandalorian wars, reports of the Battle of Althir where Republic forces outnumbered the Mandolorians 10 to one but still lost convinced him to petition the Jedi council to join the conflict. He was denied and ordered to take quiet meditation and study, for the first time in his life, Katar felt true anger which only doubled as reports of the conflict continued to roll in. Katar bid his time believing that eventually the Council would intervene but with every massacre and report of defeat Katar lost faith in the council, he spent every moment preparing for the war to come, studying mandalorian tactics, battle meditation and lightsaber combat putting emphasis on Djem So and building a long handled lightsaber.

In 3963 Katar became one of the oldest disciples of Revan, after uncovering the evidence of the genocide of Cathar Katar finally entered the war. Katar led a force at the Battle of Duro commanding a number of ships from the bow of his Interdictor Cruiser “Revolution”. He spent the war in the thick of battle, playing a key role in planning almost every offensive of the war as well as being responsible for much of the organization and supply of Republic forces, using his battle meditation to bring the Republic Navy to new heights of efficiency. He was not present at the battle of Malachor V.

Katar pledged allegiance to Revan with a speed that surprised even himself, he long believed the Jedi Council had lost all agency and moral authority and that a new order was needed to better the galaxy. In 3959BBY he took the name Darth Kendo and led Sith forces in dozens of battles throughout the war, the majority of his forces were made up of his former republic command that followed Revan in their cause, his navy was known for capturing and incorporating enemy ships even using a number of Mandalorian vessels in the war.

After the redemption of Revan and the destruction of the Star Forge, Darth Kendo took for himself an area centered around the planet Botajef, in the Belsmuth sector of the Outer Rim. The planet Botajef was the location of one of the largest shipyards in the galaxy and next to the Star Forge the largest in the Sith Empire and a population numbering in the tens of billions. Here he began recruiting new soliders and producing new weapons of war, fortifying and biding his time. In 3955 he joined with Darth Atrox’s growing forces in an alliance that he hoped could lead to a Sith resurgence.
