The Sith Temple

eated by Dominick Diego Price (Darth Docorum). Dominick originally created this page so his friends and him could talk about Star Wars among each other. One day the page exploded and as quickly become a popular site for all fans of Star Wars. Though this page is dedicated to the Sith, Stephen still posts pictures on other factions including the Jedi, Mandalorians, Imperial Knights, etc. He hopes that through this page all fans can unite and understand that Star Wars is more than just 6 films but a way of life. May the Force be with you. Especially the Darkside. Worlds of the Sith



CORUSCANT




Coruscant (pronounced /'kɔɹəs¨»nt/), originally called Notron, also known as Imperial Center or the Queen of the Core, was a planet located in the galactic Core. It was generally agreed that Coruscant was, during most of Galactic history, the most politically important world in the galaxy. Over the centuries, Coruscant had developed into an ecumenopolis. The actual planet-wide metropolis of Coruscant was called Galactic City. Under the Galactic Republic, the names Republic City or the City of Spires were also used to reference the city. Since the time of Emperor Palpatince, it is now known as the Imperial City. CORUSCANT


Temples and Structures:
The Great Sith Temple: After Luke's rise to power he commissioned the Great Sith Temple to be built over the ruins of the old Jedi Temle. This Temple also houses the archives of many of the Sith Treasuries, including ancient holocrons and artifacts of both the old jedi order and the sith orders of the past. The temple is known for the official meeting place of the Sith Council, and trains many of the Sith Lords who come to power. Imperial Palace: The Imperial Palace was the residence of Emperor Palpatine during his reign over the Galactic Empire, as well as the residence of both Lord Vader and Luke Skywalker during both of their reigns. During the time of Emperor Palpatine, the palace was drastically rebuilt into a massive complex that became the tallest building on Coruscant. The palace holds an arsenal of Stormtroopers, as well as the Imperial Royal Guard. Z I O S T




Ziost was a world made up entirely of an ancient dark forest. Not only was it a focal point of the dark side, but it was also the adopted homeworld and imperial capital of the Sith species, who left their original homeworld, Korriban as a graveyard world after the death of their leader Adas. ZIOST


Temples and Structures:
The Temple of Anguish: Formerly known as the Sith Citadel, this Temple is an ancient structure dating back to the time of the ancient Sith Empire. It had fallen into a state of disrepair long before the time of emperor Palpatine and Lord Vader, however following the power exchange between father and son (vader & luke), it has become a secret functioning Temple on the planet. This temple specializes in Sith Magic and Alchemy, and has taught many of the rising Sith mages. K O R R I B A N




Korriban was the sole planet in the Horuset system, located across the galaxy from Koros Major. It was the original homeworld of the Sith species and a sacred planet for the Sith Order, housing the tombs for many ancient and powerful Dark Lords of the Sith, and containing tremendous dark side power. KORRIBAN



Temples and Structures:
The Great Temple: The Great Temple was a mausoleum as well as a place of reverence located in Korriban's Valley of the Dark Lords, where the remains of many of the most honored Dark Lords of the Sith were interred. The bodies of these deceased Sith Lords remained untouched by time, preserved by their own power in the dark side of the Force. Tuk'ata hounds prowled the interior of the temple, and served as guardians against tomb-raiders and grave-robbers. Darth Vader was buried here shortly after Luke Skywalkerslew him to become the new Dark Lord. Sith Academy: The exact time of establishment of the academy is unclear, though it was probably founded sometime during the Great Sith War by the Brotherhood of the Sith and continued its existence even after the defeat of Exar Kun; it was in full operation as of 3,993 BBY. It played roles in the Jedi Civil wars, as well as during the New Sith Wars following the Battle of Korriban, when a young Darth Bane trained there. Since that time it would lay in disarray until Luke Skywalker had gotten rid of the Rule of Two, and began the Sith Imperium. The Sith Academy does not focus on any certain sith castes, and instead teaches the basics of the new Imperium. V J U N




Vjun (or Vijjun) was a dark, almost lifeless planet in the Vjun system, known for its acidic rainfalls and resultant lack of plant life. It was also renowned for its expensive hand-woven tunics. It was the location of Bast Castle, a place where Darth Vader and later his son Luke Skywalker would study the Dark side of the Force. VJUN



Temples and Structures:

Bast Castle: The secret sanctuary of Darth Vader, Bast Castle was an immense black fortress located near a beach on Vjun. His personal home, Vader often retired to Bast when not on assignment for the Emperor. Very few sentients knew of its existence and it was here in solitude that Vader studied the dark side and attempted to learn what he needed to heal his broken body. After the death of both Vader and the Emperor, the castle would be passed down to his son, Luke, who would also study the darkside alongside his wife. His eldest child also started her training there under Tessa Nightshade. D R O M U N D K A S S




Dromund Kaas was the third planet in the Dromund system, and the lasting base of the Prophets of the Dark Side, whose Dark Force Temple contained such power in the the dark side of the Force that most weapons, excluding lightsabers, malfunctioned on the planet's surface. The site of a major battle during the New Sith Wars under Kaan's Brotherhood of Darkness, for millennia the planet's location was known only to a few, very select Sith Lords, falling almost completely out of the public eye.

DATHOMIR




Dathomir was an obscure planet in the Outer Rim Territories, located in the Quelii sector. Dathomir was considered a temperate and beautiful planet by Human standards, with a varied terrain that included coastal lakes and tar-pits, thick forests and snow-capped mountain peaks, powerful rivers and broad savannas, small icecaps and dramatic rift valleys. Although the two cultures most closely associated with Dathomir were the ancient spacefaring Kwa and the Human group known as the Witches of Dathomir, it should not be overlooked that the semi-sentient species at the apex of Dathomir's native food-chain was in fact the mighty rancor. DATHOMIR


Temples and Structures:
Sith Academy: The Sith academy of Dathomir was originally established by the Brotherhood of Darkness near the end of the New Sith Wars. Since the time of bane, the academy was in a state of disarray, and would not come to use until a few years after Luke became the emperor. The temple is used to train Sith adepts and acolytes. Trainees here will become apprenticed to Sith Masters, after their training is complete. The skills learned here equipped adepts with abilities on par with Jedi Knights. These warriors made up the bulk of the Imperium's forces. IRIDONIA




Iridonia was the homeworld of the Zabrak species. As a Mid Rim world situated near important hyperspace lanes, Iridonia was one of the key worlds that connected the Outer Rim to the Inner Rim. As such, it was often one of the first planets to be pulled into a war. Around 1,002 BBY, the Brotherhood of Darkness operated a Sith academy on the world that trained Sith Acolytes and apprentices. The Sith also hired Zabrak mercenaries from the planet's high council. IRIDONIA


Temples and Structures:
The Sith academy of Iridonia was originally established by the Brotherhood of Darkness near the end of the New Sith Wars. RYLOTH




Ryloth, also known as Twi'lek, and Twi'lek Prime,[5] was the harsh, rocky homeworld of the Twi'leks, an Outer Rim Territories world located on the Corellian Run and forming one endpoint of the Death Wind Corridor. One side of the planet perpetually faced its sun and the other remained in darkness, a phenomenon known as tidal locking. The dayside was referred to as the Bright Lands and the night-side was known as the Nightlands. RYLOTH


Temples & Structures:
Sith Academy: The Sith Academy was established on Ryloth by the Brotherhood of Darkness near the end of the New Sith Wars. They used it to train Sith assassins and spies. These initiates had a greater aptitude in the Force than their brethren in the academies on Honoghr, Gentes, and Gamorr. Here recruits learned to use the dark side for secrecy, deception, and manipulation. Those who survived the rigorous training became deadly assassins, preferring use of the dark side to kill rather than with physical force. LEHON




Lehon was a tropical world that inhabited a remote and relatively unknown corner of the galaxy known as the Tempered Wastes, a largely void area of space. Its surface was largely covered by oceans which were dotted by numerous clusters of islands and archipelagos. It was the only habitable planet in the Lehon system. The planet itself was orbited by two small moons, but one of them was close enough to be visible from the surface during daylight, covering a significant portion of the sky. LEHON


Temples & Structures:
Temple of the Ancients : An ancient temple that dated back to the time of the Rakatan Empire, some 20,000-30,000 years prior to know. This once protected the Star Forge which would be used by both Dark Lords Revan and Malak during the Jedi Civil Wars. It would house the holocron of Revan for some 2000 years before it was found by the Dark Lord Bane. Since the time of bane, the academy was in a state of disarray, and would not come to use until a year prior to this date. ROON




Located in an impenetrable cosmic dust cloud ominously referred to as the Cloak of the Sith, easily navigable routes to Roon had long been lost. Even the most complete accounts, located in the Baobab Archives on Manda, were sketchy at best, and the lockdown of information following the rise of the Galactic Empire seemed to seal Roon's fate as a planet lost to history. It would become home to one of the Sith Imperiums many Temles and acadmeies scattered throughout Imperial controlled Space. ROON


Temples & Structures:
Temple of Disolation: The newest of all the Sith Temples in the Sith Imperium, construction on the temple started just 3 years prior to the time Luke took the mantle of Dark Lord. The temple is by far, much smaller than the other's and only houses a portion of inhabitants in the wall that would be able to be housed in any other temple. This temple however is not for training as many would believe, and those inhabited here are not just mere sith. They are the Elite Members of Luke Skywalker's Royal Praetorian Guard, who guard the many ancient artifacts and holocrons, both jedi and sith alike, and protect the grounds from any would be robbers. Great Library: Located deep within the temple, the Great library is a database containing information relating to the Sith Order and its history, and the history of the force and it's many various groups. The Great Library was administered by the Lore Master, and his aids and accessible only to the Dark Lord of the Sith & the Shadow hand, as well as anyone they deemed fit. Prequel trilogy


Asajj Ventress. In The Phantom Menace, the Sith reappear after 1,000 years of self-imposed exile, in the form of Darth Sidious and Darth Maul. Meanwhile, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn meets by chance Anakin Skywalker, a nine-year-old slave; Qui-Gon soon becomes convinced that the boy is the "Chosen One" of Jedi prophecy who is destined to "restore balance to the Force". After killing Qui-Gon, Darth Maul dies at the hands of the Jedi's apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Jedi ultimately emerge victorious, however; Palpatine (Sidious' civilian alter ego) is elected to the office of Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, and sets his sights on making Anakin his new apprentice. In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones former Jedi Master Count Dooku, Sidious' new Sith apprentice, is given the Sith title Darth Tyranus. Dooku starts the separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems, which threatens the unstable Republic. A motion made in the Senate by Representative Jar Jar Binks, who was sent by Senator Padmé Amidala, grants the Chancellor vast emergency powers — an idea planted in Jar Jar's head by the Chancellor himself. When the Jedi discover the threat, the Clone Wars begin with a battle to rescue captured Jedi on Geonosis. In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine reveals himself to be Darth Sidious, and turns Anakin to the dark side. Palpatine says that the dark side holds the power to save Anakin's wife, Padmé Amidala, from dying during childbirth; Anakin succumbs to the temptation and becomes Darth Vader, leading the Republic's clone troopers to exterminate the Jedi, under the directive of "Order 66". Sidious then turns the Republic into the tyrannical Galactic Empire and appoints himself Emperor for life, effectively placing the galaxy under Sith control. Original trilogy


Darth Vader attacks the Jedi Temple. Beginning in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the Rebel Alliance arises to challenge the Empire's iron grip on the galaxy, and surviving Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi turns to their greatest hope, Luke Skywalker, the son of Anakin, who begins his Jedi training under Kenobi. In the film's climactic battle scene, the Rebels destroy the Empire's Death Star superweapon. In Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Luke seeks out Yoda, who furthers his training in the ways of the Force. Palpatine and Vader become aware of Luke's identity, and both hope to corrupt Luke to use him against each other (Sidious wishes to replace Vader with Luke, while Vader wants to use Luke to overthrow the Emperor and rule over the galaxy). Luke prematurely confronts Vader, who reveals that he is in fact Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker. In their first lightsaber battle, Luke proves to be no match for Vader, as Vader cuts off his right hand, and Luke barely escapes with his life. In Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Luke, by now having nearly completed his training under Yoda, nearly succumbs to the dark side when Palpatine and Vader threaten to kill his friends in the Rebellion. He pulls away from the brink at the last minute, however, and proudly declares his allegiance to the Jedi. As a result, Palpatine then tortures Luke with Force lightning. His son's suffering and pleas for help free Anakin Skywalker from the dark side's grip, and he throws his former master down the newly constructed second Death Star's reactor shaft, incurring fatal wounds in the process. With this act of self-sacrifice, Anakin Skywalker fulfills the prophecy of the "Chosen One" by destroying the Sith. Pre-Phantom Menace
The video game Knights of the Old Republic explains that early dark-side users were exiled to the planet Korriban, where they conquered a powerful but malleable indigenous species known as the Sith. Treated like gods by their conquered people, the so-called "Dark Jedi" proclaimed themselves "Lords of the Sith". By the time depicted in the game, a handful of Jedi have defected to form their own group dedicated to the dark side. The Sith use the same powers as the Jedi, as well as certain powers banned by the Jedi Council. In the comic book Tales of the Jedi: The Golden Age of the Sith, set 5,000 years before the prequel trilogy, the Sith rule an isolated part of the galaxy, calling themselves the "Sith Empire", headquartered on the planet Ziost. The empire is unstable, however; its two most powerful Sith Lords, Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow, throw the galaxy into chaos as they fight each other for supremacy, leading to a brutal conflict known as The Great Hyperspace War. By the end of the sequel, The Fall of the Sith Empire, after a war that lasts nearly 10 years, their power struggle effectively destroys the empire from within. In the further novels, set one thousand years later, a Dark Jedi named Exar Kun, who studies the ways of the Sith, surrenders his soul to the dark side of the Force and then forms an alliance with a Sith-worshiping society, which then begins a new war called the Great Sith War. This war ends when Kun is betrayed and killed by his apprentice, the exiled Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma. Shortly after Kun's demise, his Sith successors, including Darth Revan and his apprentice Darth Malak, nearly destroy the Jedi Order. This new Sith empire eventually falls after a series of civil wars. In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Yoda explains that the Sith Order went into hiding after their defeat in the last Sith war nearly 1,000 years earlier. He further explains that the Sith can exist only with two members at a time — one master and one apprentice. This idea is later explored in the Expanded Universe novels Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Darth Bane: Rule of Two, and Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil. In these novels, set 1,000 years before the events in Phantom Menace, the Sith number in the many thousands, but are too focused on fighting each other for power to unite against the Jedi. Seeing that the dark side of the Force is spread too thin over many thousands, Darth Bane engineers a plan that eventually dupes the Sith into destroying themselves, leaving only him and his apprentice, Darth Zannah. This ultimately allows Darth Bane to institute a decree saying that the Sith Order from then on will never number more than two members at a time, and the Order will be committed to secrecy. The decree is known as the "Rule of Two": "Only two shall there be, a master and an apprentice: one to embody power and the other to crave it."[3] Bane also issues the decree that all Sith lords after him will have the title of "Darth" before their surname. Central to this rule is that the apprentice must one day overthrow the master and subsequently take on his/her own apprentice, thereby perpetuating the Order. After Bane's death, his apprentice Zannah takes on a new apprentice, who later takes on her own after Zannah's death, and so on. For the next 1,000 years, the two-person Sith Order remained in hiding in various parts of the galaxy, keeping their use of the Force to an absolute minimum and instilling the teachings of the dark side to all successors.
[edit]Post-Return of the Jedi
The Sith also appear in various "Expanded Universe" material set after the Empire's destruction in Return of the Jedi. A resurrected Palpatine reappears in the comic books Dark Empire, and Empire's End, and Vader's former minion Lumiya is a main antagonist in the Marvel Comics Star Wars stories and the Legacy of the Force series. In the latter, she convinces Jacen Solo, Anakin Skywalker's grandson, to learn the ways of the Sith. Solo becomes the Sith Lord Darth Caedus, convinced that it is the only way to save the galaxy from a brutal civil war; in the process, however, he becomes a ruthless tyrant willing to destroy anyone in his way, even his own parents. He ultimately dies at the hands of his twin sister, Jedi Knight Jaina Solo. In the series Fate of the Jedi, a great number of Sith appear. These Sith comprise two separate and distinct groups. The first are "the Tribe," the descendants of a Sith Empire shipwreck on an uncharted world. This group was cut off from the galaxy at large for five millennia, and thus are unaware of the Rule of Two. The second group is the One Sith, who deliberately abandoned Darth Bane's 1,000-year-old decree of only having two Sith members at a time. In the comic book series Star Wars: Legacy, set 130 years after Return of the Jedi, the Sith (led by former Jedi A'Sharad Hett, now calling himself Darth Krayt) once again defeat the Jedi and take control of the galaxy. Their one opponent is Anakin and Luke Skywalker's descendant, Cade, who had previously renounced his connection to the Force. Mission
