"The ancient Sith Empire before its near destruction at the end of the Great Hyperspace War was built through conspiracy and deception." Gnost-Dural begins. "In fact, their evolved civilization would not have existed up to today if it weren't for the teachings and influences of the first Dark Lords of the Sith, roughly three millennium ago.The first Sith Lords were once fallen Jedi, known to the Republic as the Exiles.The Exiles first arrived on Korriban not long after they've suffered a crushing and humiliating defeat at the end of the Hundred Year Darkness. We know very little of their time on Korriban. What we do know, however, is that when they've made first contact with primitive red-skinned Sith species, the Sith king - or Sith'ari - Hakagram Graush was shocked of their unexpected appearance. But after witnessing their powers of the Dark Side and the technology they've carried onboard their ships, Graush welcomed the exiled Jedi on their planet.However, this led to his own downfall. TheSith'ari'sShadow Handconspired with the new arrivals, and betrayed his liege to them. Using their training in the Force, the Exiles amazed the Sith and elevated themselves to god-like status on Korriban, becoming their rulers.The most powerful of the fallen Jedi,Ajunta Pall, became the firstDark Lord of the Sith. Some of the Exiles, however, were not content to rule the Sith and gather their strength. A few of them returned to the Republic space to attack the Jedi. They believed they now had the power to crush Jedi Order and rule, but they were wrong. Their premature actions served only to alert the Republic and their defenders that some of the Exiles survived out in uncharted space. Many years passed, and interbreeding occurred between the fallen Jedi and Sith. It was at this point that the term "Sith" came to mean not only the original inhabitants of Korriban, but also their fallen Jedi masters. The Exiles greatly accelerated the cultural development of the Sith, which led to the formation of the first Sith Empire.And this is what led to Naga Sadow's rise to power and his belief that the Sith were destined to rule the galaxy with an iron fist. Although I would never entirely question the Jedi Council's decisions, I believe that if they hadn't recommended exile as punishment for the fallen Jedi's violent and unethical actions prior to their arrival on Korriban, the Republic would've publicly executed them at the given chance. The Hundred Year Darkness will be the subject of my next report."
