Darth Nihilus (Jasca Ducato)

Darth Nihilus was a Sith Lord and the first of Wyyrlok's "Hands" and the commander of the Sith Order of Decreto's forces on Korriban and its nearby systems. A close "friend" of Darth Raith, the two were barely seen apart, let alone out of contact with one another.

A Korribanite, Nihilus was taken into the Sith fold early on, quickly showing his tenacity for combat and strategy. By the time of the Zao tenj War he was one of the most powerful Sith of his age and a force to be reckoned with.

Although his exact age is unknown, it is known that a figure matching Nihilus' description had inconsistently appeared and disappeared through-out the years; giving assistance to both the Jedi and the Sith.

Battle of Korriban

 * Main article:Battle of Korriban

During the battle of Korriban Darth Nihilus had been tasked with defending the planet against the Zao tenj land invasion.

Although it quickly became obvious that Korriban was lost to the Sith, Nihilus and Wyyrlok did succedd in excaping with the vast majority of the Sith Acadmey's archives, weapons and technologies effectively making Korriban no-more that a morale boosting victory.

Post-Korriban
Despite the defeat at Korriban and the Zao tenj declaration of victory the Sith Order of Decreto continued to fight the Zao tenj for many years, inflicting serious casualties and disrupting the Zao tenj attempts to indoctrinate the local populous of many worlds.

After several years of guerrila tactics many Sith and Jedi agreed that the time had come for them to take the fight to the Zao tenj. Nihilus was chosen to lead the attack on the world of Yavin IV.

Following the battle of Gnu and the death of Jedi master Urai Fen, the Jedi became more reluctant to serve with the Sith. Nihilus was chosen by the Dark Lord to lead the first solo Sith operation, alongside Darth Raith.
