Darklight Sith

"These so-called "Sith" who tried to kill you are nothing more than usurpers to the title. We aren't light or dark, we just simply are. The Sith is a belief, one that has been unfortunately corrupted by Dark Jedi who claim to be "Sith.""

- - Damien (Light-sided Sith Lord of the Darklight Sith)

The Darklight Sith (often refered to as "Darklighters") were an elite Sith faction who formed to keep the original Sith belief alive. It is formed of force sensitives who are aligned with the light side of the force, but trust in the Sith Code. Jedi holocrons state they are to be the prophets and saviors of the galaxy when it is at it's greatest turmoil. Sith holocrons show that they are what keeps balance within the Sith. Darklight Sith believe to preserve the Republic and keep it intact, but hold quarrels against the Jedi for enslaving their people.

The Darklight Sith use the Heart of the Guardian crystal (Bronze with a yellow core) in their lightsabers. The Heart of the Guardian is an ancient crystal which has seperate beliefs from the Jedi and Sith both. It is believed that it was involved in the founding of the Jedi Order. However, it came out to be part of the Sith's heritage instead. According to prophecies of the Jedi Order, the Heart would appear at the time of greatest turmoil and help in bringing the galaxy into salvation. The Sith believed it to be an object that would have brought about their domination of known space, which wasn't the case.

The formation of the Darklight Sith is unknown, but were discovered in 3,951 BBY by the Jedi Exile, who went in search of Revan into the Unknown Regions. The Ebon Hawk crashed beyond repair, and the Darklight Sith pulled her out from the wreckage. She was assumed dead, but the faction two years later brought her back to life.

Though, the time of formation is unknown, the birthplace of this faction is said to be in the heart of Korriban. Ironically enough, that was also the birthplace of the Sith in general. Strangely, the Darklight Sith aren't known by the Jedi Order, but are by the Sith Emperor. Most of the Sith divisions don't even know of them either, as Darklighters tend to hide in the shadows and hide their presence. They tend to prefer it that way. They are the "True Sith" that Kreia (Darth Traya) mentioned to the Jedi Exile after their battle at Malachor V during The Dark Wars.

"There are many things that we know that no one else does, not even your most honorable Jedi Masters. We hide in the shadows of the galaxy, and oversee everything that goes on in Republic space. Those dirty little secrets that you think are well kept and locked away and hidden, we know of them. We know all of them."

- - Overheard from a Sith Darklighter

The Darklight Sith aided the Jedi Exile in her search for Revan. They started by making her a Darklighter, and already have prepared and built her a new ship, the Ebon Phoenix. The Ebon Phoenix was a highly improved version of the Ebon Hawk, nearly twice it's size and had many interesting additions. Including the all new droid interface, and the improved lightspeed and weaponry. It was a finesse ship at best, the ultimate smuggler's ship. It was built from the remnants of the Ebon Hawk and many ships that crashed into the Unknown Regions, including a Star Destroyer and a Basilisk War Droid. It also detects the missing ancient Sith holocrons from the different planets the Exile had to visit to find the information to get to Revan. These planets include Korriban, Coruscant, Telos, Onderon, and Kashyyyk.

The Darklight Sith Code
"Peace is a lie, it is engulfed in chaos. Out of chaos, we make order. From order, comes control. With control, we bring justice. Through justice, we achieve vengeance. Knowledge is power: Through power, we gain victory. We do not destroy peace, we create order. To rebuild, we must first tear down."

The Darklight Sith Philosophy
"A Light Sith is not the same as a Dark Jedi. A Dark Jedi seeks instant-self-gratification. A Light Sith serves the balance and order of the galaxy."

- Garm, Sith Lord of the Darklight Sith

The Darklight Sith believe the battle between "good" and "evil" is eternal. That it's a civil war without end. Between the Jedi and the Sith, they feel like they aren't a third party. They embody the conflict as a whole.

The Jedi fear the dark side, so they banned Sith teachings. Like all Sith, they seek revenge. Darklighters are no different. While Jedi rely on the light side, Sith Lords secretly studied their dark arts. The Darklight Sith accept that there are two sides to the force, and use both its natures.

Darklight Sith philosophy is said it can be represented by the idea of Form V Djem So lightsaber combat. Form V is a balance between the blocks of defensive forms and the strikes of offensive forms. It can be symbolized by the perfection of a counter-attack. It's said that they use the light side for knowledge and defense, to hold off their enemies when they attack. That way, they can utilize the dark side's power to enforce their will, to make sure are enemies are finished off for good. Like the counter-attacks of Djem So; Darklight Sith fully block their foe's attacks, and repel their enemies, ultimately dominating them.

"We embrace pain and suffering, but we don't throw away innocent lives in meaningless massacres. We do not sadistically kill people who's death serves no purpose. We accept that sacrifice must be made for improvement to occur. It's as simple as "no pain, no gain", nothing was ever accomplished without risk and effort."

- Jalek, Sith Lord of the Darklight Sith

Sith Darklighters feel as if the Jedi are blind, weak, and arrogant. That they continue to defend a peace that does not exist. They feel as if the Jedi interpretation was that the Sith would be wiped out, and that the light side would gain the upper hand. This would not be balance to Darklighters at all. They realize that this means they must bring balance to the force, rather then what the Jedi meant.
