![]() Other parts of the fleet went to Metellos, Basilisk and Shawken. Moving up the trade routes, the Sith under the command of Shar Dakhan, Sadow's chief lieutenant, attacked Coruscant itself, landing at the Legislative District and reached the Senate Hall where they encountered Jedi defenders. Sadow proclaimed Gav the "liberator" of his home system, and using the Koros Trunk Line, attacked Kaikielius and the Foerost Shipyards. When Gav arrived in his home system, a significant battle ensued and the Sith successfully established a foothold in the system. Passing the Primus Goluud, Gav Daragon was given command of the Koros Major invasion fleet. The ferocity of the Sith invasion would swiftly overwhelm the lax Republic Navy. He positioned his eye-shaped meditation sphere near the red-giant star Primus Goluud and used battle meditation to aid his forces in the field. Sadow knew he could not defeat the much-larger Republic Navy, and so relied on surprise and rapid early victories to carry the day. Sadow made his base at the Primus Goluud at the Coreward end of the Daragon Trail and deployed his fleets to invade numerous Republic worlds simultaneously. ![]() ![]() Military movements in the Great Hyperspace War. She alerted Coruscant to the impending invasion, but few heeded her warnings. The skeptical empress eventually followed the advice of her Jedi councillor Memit Nadill, and that of his companions Odan-Urr and Master Ooroo. Meanwhile, after numerous delays, Jori managed to deliver a warning to Empress Teta of the Koros system. Following the homing beacon he had placed aboard the Starbreaker 12, Sadow began his invasion of the Galactic Republic. With his competition presumably dead, Sadow united the military forces of the Empire, and crowned himself Dark Lord of the Sith. Once Jori made the jump to lightspeed, he unleashed a massive force that he had previously withheld and soundly defeated Kressh, whose flagship was destroyed in the engagement. When Kressh's fleet arrived, Sadow advised Jori to flee from the battle without her absent brother, and to warn the Republic of the impending invasion, but all had transpired as Sadow had planned. Kressh soon discovered Sadow's subterfuge, and marshaled his followers to attack Sadow's fortress. Naga Sadow rallying the Sith forces for the invasion of the Galactic Republic Keeping the siblings separated, he began to teach Gav Sith sorcery, even as he made excuses to keep his sister Jori from returning to Republic space. Sadow moved the Daragons to his personal fortress on Khar Shian, pretending he was their ally, while simultaneously using their supposed "escape" to galvanize the Sith Lords into a war against the Republic. With the aid of his alchemically-modified Massassi Warriors, he masterminded the Daragons' escape, and planted evidence that they had been rescued by Republic agents. He dreamed of vast new territories to conquer for the Empire. After learning of the forgotten Republic, a conclave of the Sith Lords led by Kressh declared them spies and sentenced them to death, but Naga Sadow disagreed. Upon landing, Gav and Jori were immediately captured, and brought to the icy Sith capital world of Ziost for interrogation. The two challengers for his crown, Viceroy of Khar Shian Naga Sadow, and Ludo Kressh, were in the midst of a duel for mastery on the threshold of his tomb when the Daragons descended from orbit. ![]() Their arrival on Korriban coincided with the death of the greatest Dark Lord at the time, Marka Ragnos. ![]() After stealing back their impounded ship Starbreaker 12, they dialed random coordinates into their nav computer and entered hyperspace, trusting in their "luck" ( i.e., untrained Force potential) to survive the journey. The siblings, Gav and Jori Daragon, hoped to discover a lucrative new hyperspace route that would help them pay off their enormous debts. The two civilizations thrived in isolation, each ignorant of the other.ĭuring the height of the Sith Empire, two Republic hyperspace explorers stumbled upon the Sith mausoleum planet of Korriban by chance. Over the centuries, the Dark Jedi exiles were forgotten by the Galactic Republic, as were all records of the Republic also lost by the Sith. The united Sith formed an immensely rich and powerful empire built upon sorcery, and dark-side-fueled technology quite possibly adapted from the scattered ruins of the earlier Infinite Empire of the Rakata. In time, the Dark Jedi and the remarkably Force-sensitive Sith natives interbred through the use of Sith alchemy, and became one people. Prelude The Golden Age of the Sith Īfter their defeat during the earliest Jedi Civil Wars, called the Great Schisms, the adherents of the dark side fled from Republic space and settled on the world of Korriban, where they ruled over the barbaric, red-skinned Sith species like gods. ![]()
