Grand Sith Order

The Grand Sith Order was a military state government that existed from 580 to 1830 ABY. It was successor to the starwars:New Sith Order (Darth Krayt's faction) and predecessor to the Grand Sith Empire. It was founded by Darth Arkitekt, a former Jedi military tactician. The order's final Dark Lord was Darth Barondon. Unlike previous Sith governments, the Grand Sith Order was not driven by religion, but by simple hunger for power.

Founding
"I shall rebuild the Order; Not in fire, not in darkness, but in steel." -Darth Arkitekt

In 380 ABY, the New Sith Order was destroyed by the Third Galactic Republic. The Galaxy was at peace for a term of 2 centuries. Then a exiled Jedi found an ancient Sith temple while residing on Korriban. He took the title Darth Arkitekt and united all the exiles of Korriban. From the exiles across the Galaxy, he forged the Grand Sith Order.

Creation of Korriban II
20 years after forging the Order, Arkitekt decided that starwars:Korriban was trenched in the history of past Sith orders. He felt that the reason the Sith had fallen so many times before was because they only focused on spreading the Dark Side across the Galaxy, and conquer when they were at their highest influence. Arkitekt ruled differently as a Dark Lord, for he acted more as a tyrant than a great religious figure. He decided that they must make a new planet for his new order. Arkitekt ordered his scientists to construct weapons of mass destruction. Within a year the weapons were completed and Arkitekt knew what they would be used for. He ordered his new-found Sith navy to travel to a small, unnamed moon that orbited Korriban. When the Navy arrived within the moon's orbit, Arkitekt ordered the deployment of the Weapons Of Mass Destruction onto the moon's surface. On impact, the weapons successfully destroyed nearly all life on the planet. For the next month the navy continuously bombed the moon, erasing all life from the planet completely. They landed on the moon to scan the area for any life. The moon was completely lifeless now, and they began to establish settlements. They abandoned Korriban and called their new world Korriban II.

== Death of Darth Arkitekt == Arkitekt died at the age of 109. His son inherited the Order. His son, Darth Halden, ruled for 16 years. He was poisoned by his apprentice, Darth Draiek, so that he could become Dark Lord (Halden had no children). Darth Draiek ruled until he died of old age in 536 ABY.

Darth Malaton (537-627 ABY)
"My grandfather improved our technology, and made our army more advanced than ever. That is why they call him 'the Inventor'" -Darth Claudius referring to his grandfather, Darth Malaton

Darth Draiek's one son, Darth Malaton, became ruler after his fathers death. He idolized his father, and ordered that statues be built in his honor. He also began improving the military technology. He used the Dark Side to advance their weapons. Soon Malaton had earned the title Malaton the Inventor. He died at the age of 90 and his grandson Darth Claudius inherited the Order.

Darth Claudius (628-697 ABY)
Darth Claudius, like his grandfather, improved the Orders' technology. He brought glory to his ancestors by building statues, monuments, and murals portraying them as war heroes and demigods. He improved the Sith Order greatly. Claudius retired at the age of 69, unlike the preceding Dark Lords who's rule ended with their deaths.

Darth Alexander (698-748 ABY)
Claudius's grandson, Darth Alexander, was the first tyrannical Dark Lord since Darth Draiek. He had been through many assassination attempts in his childhood, for his mother was not a Sith. He inherited the Order at the age of 17, making him the youngest Dark Lord in the Grand Sith order's history. He built monuments in his glory, rather than his ancestor's. Alexander was assassinated at the age of 50 in 748 ABY. His son, Darth Valrak ruled the Order for 3 years, and his grandson inherited it when he turned 18.

Darth Valrak II (751-801 ABY)
Darth Valrak II was the least important of all the Orders' Dark Lords. he did nothing to improve the Order. His son inherited the Order with his retirement at the age of 50.

Darth Artemis (802-892 ABY)
Darth Artemis lead the Grand Sith Order in their first war. He was best known for winning the conflict between the Order and the exiles of Korriban. The Draiek Dynasty had finally come to an end with his death.

Darth Luciferon (942-1015 ABY)
The Grand Sith Order had been without a leader for 50 years. The Sith Council governed the Order inadequately, and the people needed a Dark Lord. The head of the Council, Darth Aggettivo, had found a strong-headed Jedi, Mathi Darendes, to recruit to the Dark Side. Darendes resisted at first, but then accepted Aggetivo's offer. He took the title of Darth Luciferon, and became Dark Lord within a year. Luciferon lead the Grand Sith Order's first war against the Jedi Order, and was nearly successful. Luciferon was killed at the age of 120, a remarkable life span for a Dark Lord.

Darth Micar (1017-1027 ABY)
Darth Micar ruled for a short period of time (Ten years). When he had encountered a young Jedi Shilo Norieas, he knew he had found his successor. He showed Norieas a false vision of the Jedi Council killing his wife. Immediately, Norieas joined the Grand Sith Order and became Micar's apprentice. He took the name Darth Barondon and became Dark Lord within a year.

Darth Barondon (1028-1105 ABY)
Darth Barondon was the most successful of all the Dark Lords. He successfully lead a full-scale invasion of the Mandalorian Union, conquering them in less than two years. He then attacked the Republic, and completely conquered the Galaxy in 5 years. He took the title of Dark Lord of the Galaxy, not just the Sith. He was killed by the Jedi resistance in 1105 ABY, and the Grand Sith Order lost all power it had over the Galaxy.

Darth Aron (1130-1145 ABY)
"Aron and Nerenjuso were... unique. They could be bring anyone to their cause. This was a good thing during the Sith War of Maridun, but after they were exiled, this was the only thing that stood between the Republic and their complete destruction."

Two young starwars:Jedi Knights, Aron and Nerenjuso, were heroes during the Sith War of starwars:Maridun. Aron had gained an unhealthy large ego, and was trying to convince the Jedi Council to make him Grand Master of the Jedi Order. He and his many followers were exiled after trying to kill the Council. It was on Korriban that Aron formed his own Jedi Order, and soon joined the Grand Sith Order later on. He soon became Dark Lord and lead a full-scale invasion of the Republic. He was nearly killed by Nerenjuso (now under the alias Darth Malak II) and lost his memory. He was saved by the Jedi Order and took his original name Aron, but had no memory of the first 35 years of his life. He killed Darth Malak II three years later, after reestablishing his memories, and nearly destroyed the Grand Sith Order.

Darth Falruke (1790-1855 ABY)
Darth Falruke was born a young Jedi named Sesiah Eilenamesh. His one of the survivors of the Coruscanti Jedi Massacre, who is brother was responsible for. He was greatly traumatized, and was influenced by the Dark Side from an early age. He became a Sith Lord at the age of 24, and became Dark Lord two years later. 30 years after becoming Dark Lord, he declared war on the Republic, starting the Neo Sith War. The conflict lasted 35 years until the Battle of Lukeidia, in which Falruke was killed.
