Entry 1
"Greetings I am Darth Zorn, author of this holorecord, and a member of the One Sith Order. "
"A week has passed since my Lord Krayt's ultimate demise at the battle of Coruscant against that Jedi spawn, Cade Skywalker and his allies. The death of Darth Krayt is a galactic tragedy for all Sith that shared his vision of a galaxy reborn into the true nature of the Force."
"Now Darth Nihl leads our Order and he has commanded us to the shadows, to infiltrate the galaxy and destroy our enemies from within. We shall prevail."
"I'm charged by our new lord himself to record the events that led the One Sith to this path and to review our legacy for clues that could strengthen us in our quest. To understand it, one must accept a simple yet powerful truth."
"Deep in the souls of all who wield the force, there lurks the dark side. Many have embraced it but only we, the Sith, have mastered the full power of this glorious mark. It is our right and duty to dominate or destroy all those beneath us to secure order in this existence."
"Our past declares this so, despite the terrible setbacks that continue to delay our complete and utter triumph over the galaxy."
"The Legacy that we carry extends far back, countless ages ago, and those that came before us serve as lasting examples of either unlimited power or utter folly. As much as I would like to indulge into the very origins of the Sith and beyond I will not."
"The focus of my study will be on how exactly we came to this point in destiny.
"Surprisingly, I believe the seeds of our present Order dates back to more than a thousand years, during the infamous New Sith Wars."
"It was during the Zenith of the Old Galactic Republic or more commonly known as the Dark Age. A time when the Sith were truly legion in numbers and fearsome in war, yet so lacking in unity and purpose."
"Where the Republic and the Jedi were poisoned with the bitter fruits of a pathetic society that's binds the strong to the whims of lesser beings, which thereby made them too weak and distracted to effectively oppose our ancient predecessors.
"On the other hand, the Sith of those days were equally burdened with poorly-aimed ambitions and worthless rivalries which lessened their ability to actually defeat their true enemies. Thus they fought each other as much as they fought the Jedi. The end-result was a titanic stalemate that ruled the stars for centuries. Such a waste!"
"Then in the last decade of the Wars, a charismatic individual rose into ranks of the Jedi Order, only to turn on it later and assume control over the warring Sith, his name was Skere Kaan.
"In his early days Kaan was a Jedi Knight so powerfully gifted in the force art of battle meditation and refined in the ways of strategy that many on the Jedi High Council considered him a new beacon of hope in the mist of those troubling times."
"However Kaan did not share their beliefs and had wisely came to the conclusion that the Jedi and the Republic were responsible for the chaos that prevail over the galaxy and declared as much."
"Then in an attempt to moderate and appease their radical protege, the Jedi promoted Kaan to the rank of master, not knowing that he had already taken in the dark ways of the force."
"Kaan abandoned the Jedi and rallied a group of followers into forming the Brotherhood of Darkness. They destroyed most of the feuding Sith Lords and assimilated the remnant into their organization only in matter of a few months, a very impressive feat, I must admit.
"But Kaan's method in uniting the Sith was, in my opinion,most distasteful and desperate. To keep the Sith from turning upon themselves, he declared that they were all equal in the Brotherhood and even did away with the title of Darth to discourage rivalry."
"Following the conquest, the Jedi Council naively congratulated Kaan, thinking the threat had ended. What fools, they were indeed. It is no surprise that Kaan then unleashed his Brotherhood upon the crumbling Republic."
"Yet there was a certain Jedi Lord by the name of Hoth that challenged Kaan's rampage, with a force of his own, the Army of Light. During the first part of the new war, the Brotherhood of Darkness attacked and took the ancient Sith home world of Korriban, thereby establishing the first of a series of Sith academies that will stretch as far as Dathomir to Gamorr. These academies were to train new recruits in the various ways of the dark sides."
"As the war continued for the next ten years, Kaan's forces scored numerous victories and conquered many worlds, such as Kashyyyk, Phaseera, and Taanab. However Lord Hoth and the Republic counterattacked on many fronts, in order to break down the Brotherhood. Hoth never struck at Kaan directly in those years until the Ruusan Campaign in which both armies would be annihilated and the Republic was spared for the time being..."
"The Kaan's success on the battlefield can be admired, yet it still does not changes the fact that his rule was hollow and that of a coward instead of a true Sith Lord. Every time Kaan faced opposition from his fellow lords such as Kopecz he wormed his way of it by manipulation and not added by strength. He would fit better as a Hutt instead. ha ha ha."
"Nevertheless the Brotherhood shows what the Sith can accomplish through unity and strength in numbers, despite its shallow structure and leader. Even so, if Kaan won the war, his followers would eventually turn on him and the Jedi would have to rebuild and then strike back."
"Ironically, we owe a great debt to a Sith Lord who would have hated our One Sith Order, Darth Bane. He was the man that destroyed the Brotherhood of Darkness and founded the legendary Rule of Two. I will elaborate in my next entry."
A/N (Originally this was going to be a series of sessions about the Sith ways, instead I revised it into a fictional historical record written by a original Sith character. I was inspired by the the Old Republic time-line trailers on youtube, those videos are awesome! So I thought why not do something like it but in a different time period, with a Sith narrator instead of a Jedi. I hope you readers enjoyed this first chapter, I planning to continue it, til next time.)
