Darth Sinity

"Darkness will rise."

- Darth Sinity

Darth Sinity, sometimes known as Lord Sinity, or, more formally His Majesty Lord Sinity the Pitiless, was a male, Pau'an Sith Lord. Known for his vindictiveness and cruelty, Darth Sinity created and ruled the Great Empire of the Sith, an association of worlds under brutal and oppressive rule.

Darth Sinity was the last Sith Lord in existence for a very long period of about 1,000 years, outliving all of his 7 apprentices. Also, he was the first Pau'an Sith ever, and was reputed to prefer taking apprentices who would become the first Sith of their species like himself. This included Darth Genosa, who was a Bothan Sith Lord, and Darth Execta, who was a Draethos Sith Lord.

Childhood
Very little is known about Darth Sinity's youngest years, including his birth name, other than that he was born on the planet of Utapau in 137 ABY. Kidnapped by a mysterious Dark Jedi at the age of 2, Sinity had absolutely no memory of his parents or life besides with his Master whatsoever. He was never named by his Master, as simply referred to as "apprentice" for the entirety of his training.

Sinity's mind was molded to his master's desire since the day he was kidnapped; torture, negligence, famine, brutal training exercises, and verbal abuse were all methods used by his Master to shape the innocent Pau'an child into a malevolent, malicious, pitiless tool of destruction in the name of the Dark Side. At the age of 6, Sinity was subjected to a duel against 4 Heavy-Battle Droids, using nothing more than a metal quarterstaff as weaponry. His brutal training continued for the enitrety of his childhood, and it shaped Sinity into a twisted, merciless Sith.

Dark Lord of the Sith
At the age of 16, Sinity was instructed by his master one final task -- kill his parents on Utapau. Having been freed from guilt and mercy, Sinity complied, and travelled to Utapau. he killed his mother first, in her sleep, and then hunted down his father through the streets of the sinkhole city. Upon returning to his master, Sinity was granted the title Darth Sinity, and told to construct his lightsaber. It was on the remote planet of Hoth that Sinity found his lightsaber's crystal, a one-of-a-kind Ukshai crystal which emitted a Carmine blade.

The now-Darth Sinity apprentice served his master faithfully for 9 more years, all the time learning new techniques, force powers, and mastering Form II lightsaber combat. In 162 ABY, at the age of 25, Sinity's Master gave him a task -- Darth Sinity was to travel to the remote, Outer Rim world of Dathomir. It seemed that the nightsisters (Dark-Side adept witches) there posed a threat to the his master, and it was Sinity's task to rid the galaxy of their leader. But this would be the undoing of his Master, as Sinity had long since realized that his Master had nothing left to teach him. When he arrived on Dathomir, Sinity did not hunt down the Nightsister leader. Instead, he sought her out, and joined with her. In return for teaching him further in the ways of the Dark Side, Sinity agreed to kill his Master. And with that, Sinity retuned to his Master to defeat him once and for all, and to claim the title of Sith Master Darth Sinity.

Final Confrontation
When he returned to his Master from Dathomir, he told his Master that the leader of the Nightsisters was dead. His Master was pleased, and turned to leave. it was then, when his back was turned, that Sinity delivered the final blow to his cruel captor -- revenge, possibly, for the years of agonizing, torturous treatment that turned him into the Sith he was.

Further Training
For another 5 years, Sinity learned the deepest ways of the Dark Side, and delved into forbidden knowledge long since forgotten by the Jedi and other force adept. After these five years were finished, Sinity killed the Nightsister Leader when he had learned all from her he could, and fled the planet. it is unknown where he went, but it is known that he found his first apprentice within a year.

Darth Genosa
A Bothan Jedi named Bul'lds Anff had succumb to the Dark Side of the force, and was now the first of seven apprentices of Darth Sinity. Being already trained in the ways of the force, Bul'lds learned quickly, and was the Sith Lord, Darth Genosa, within a year.

Great Empire of the Sith
For 3 years, Sinity and Genosa travelled the galaxy, gaining support of planets everywhere. 4 planets in particular -- Utapau, Kamino, Honoghr, and Mon Calamari -- formed the base of the newly created: Great Empire of the Sith. The GES, formed in 171 ABY, was a brutal government of many planets, lead by 2 Sith Lords, a Master and an Apprentice. With the Kamino cloning facilities running again, and Mon Calamari producing spacecraft for the GES, the GES released its first attack from the capital planet of Utapau in 173 ABY, when Darth Sinity was only 36 years old.

The Minotaur Fleet, as was the name of the largest fleet of the GES, led by Sinity's flagship, Manticore, and Genosa's flagship, Rwanda, launched an assault on Muunilinst. The rich world put up a good fight, and what was known as The Great Sith Battle of Muunilinst errupted. The battle was fierce, but in the end, Sinity emerged victorious through the Battle-Meditation powers of his Apprentice. With Muunilinst conquered, the GES had an enormous amount of money to work with, and built up fantastic Naval and Armed forces. But while Sinity was busy conquering the Galaxy, his yound apprentice had greater plans. Darth Genosa had created a plot to kill his master, and elevate himself to supreme power in the GES. But Sinity was more of a match than Genosa anticipated; sensing his apprentice's feelings, Sinity attacked him on the bridge of Rwanda, and an intense lightsaber duel began. After fighting his master's perfect Form II with his own flawed Form IV, Genosa eventually admitted defeat, and bowed at his master's feet. With this, Sinity beheaded Genosa with an elegant swoop of his blade.

Expanding Power
By 179 ABY, the Great Empire of the Sith had expanded to include Bespin, Mustafar, Bonadan, Myrkr, Hoth, and Dantooine. Their reach had now spread throughout the Outer Rim, and were quickly gaining support in the form of voluntary soldiers. And with extra support, Sinity soon found a young Mon Calamari enseign aboard Manticore, who Sinity sensed had great prowess with the force. It was this young man whom Sinity trained as his second apprentice.

Darth Curensse
His new apprentice took longer to train, but he had a kean eye for tactics, and was always watching his master in combat to decipher his strategy. For two long years, Lord Sinity shaped and trained his apprentice, until, in 181 ABY, he named his apprentice Darth Curensse. Unfortunately for Sinity, Darth Curensse proved a waste of time, when he was killed aboard his flagshhip, Fluid Corruption, when it was destroyed during the Great Sith Battle of Geonosis. In 182 ABY, the locals of Geonosis stood up against the invading GES forces led by Darth Curensse. It was not long into the battle when both sides had exhausted their fleets, and were fighting now with few ships. It was just as the GES was close to victory that an ion cannon fired a great shot up from the planet and destroyed Fluid Corruption, killing all aboard, including Curensse. It was only because of last-minute reinforcements that the GES managed a victory against the Geonosians. That year, Geonosis and Tatooine were conquered.

Focussing Efforts
Since Sinity felt no compassion whatsoever, he did not long mourn the death of his apprentice. He decided to focus his efforts on expanding his reign, than on training apprentices for the moment. His immediate attention was fixed on conquering planets and gaining power. His ruthless expansion continued over the next 7 years. In a period of days following the death of Darth Curensse, Lord Sinity had led the Minotaur Fleet to victory at both Sluis Van and Hypori. He wasted no time.

Sinity was eager to conquer all the systems possible. In 7 years, he had conquered Dathomir, Korriban, Kashyyyk, Yavin, Manaan, Saleucami, Ilum, and Subterrel.. Though many systems realized the growing power in the GES, none would hand themselves over to it, for they had seen the cruel treatment of citizens of planets under GES control. This forced Sinity to go through the tiresome process of war any time he wished to extend his reach.

Soon after the victory at Subterrel, Lord Sinity grew tired of conquest. He came up with a plan: appoint a liason between himself and the GES who would carry out his him within the government, and Sinity could meditate and further his knowledge of the Dark Side on Korriban for a number of years. A suitable liason was found, a fiercely loyal Muun Admiral, and Sinity retreated to Korriban.

Meditation
While on Korriban, Lord Sinity mastered many powers, including some secrets to life and death discovered by Darth Plageuis. Also, abilities such as Battle Meditation gave Sinity an edge in combat.

But for the 3-year period the Sith Master was on Korriban, his liason carried out his wishes. He led the GES to victory over Taris, Nal Hutta, and Bothawui. He violently dealt with the First Bespin Uprising, he hindered the signing of the Wookiee Slavery Treaty, and crushed the defenses of Naboo, allowing full occupation to take place. When Lord Sinity returned from Korriban more evil than ever, he commended the Muun with an offer of apprenticeship. And with that, Darth Sinity's third apprentice was chosen.

Darth Thendrous
For 5 years, Darth Sinity spent every moment training his apprentice, destroying his spirit, crushing his morals, and riding him of his guilt, compassion, and pity. In 194 ABY, after teaching him nearly all the knowledge he had, Sinity bestowed the title Darth Thendrous upon his apprentice. The test for his apprentice: bombard an innocent planet into submission. Darth Thendrous complied without hesitation, and subsequently destroyed the planet of Bpfassh and killing all of its inhabitants.

Following the destruction of the Bpfasshi, Thendrous led numerous successful attacks on many systems, including Ryloth, Eriadu, and Mandalore. As apprentice to Sinity, Darth Thendrous would accompany his master on many missions. He participated in the Great Sith Battle of Kuat, on board his flagship, Darkening Skies, with Darth Sinity on his flagship. This was one of the only occasions on which Darth Sinity fought along side his apprentice, as he preferred to send his apprentices on their own to take care of dirty work that he did not want to take care of. This was a special battle, because of the heavy defences around the Kuat Drive Yards.

Continuing Expansion
Darth Thendrous, ever-lustful for power, led 8 successful battles in a one-year period. Conquered planets were Rishi, Ukio, Sullust, Cerea, Kessel, Falleen, Ruusan, and Neimoidia.
