Rising Quad-Sun Flag

"And lo! It seemed to him as in a dream The eastern sun did cast upon herself The semblance of the Quad-Sun, bathed amid The dancing rays that pierced the morning's shroud Of mist like mighty Metyes' poisoned fangs. Asmenys grew afraid; for in her stern embrace the sky grew dark above his head, Her light alone he glimpsed before his eyes."

The Rising Quad-Sun Flag, also known to the Black Sith as the Keltimaz Kevirtiszibeti Ikonadrobe, (Murese compound word formed from keltimaz meaning "risen," kevirtiszibeti meaning "Quad-Sun," and ikonadrobe roughly translating to "banner" in this context  ) was the  of the Black Sith species of Mure.

Viewing this sighting as a good omen, Asmenys ordered his Sith warriors to knit banners and emblazon their shields with this symbol. Their subsequent victory over the Rakata solidified the design's place in the Murese Sith culture, and its use persisted even into the.

The traditional appearance of the flag included a number of universal features possessing symbolic meanings. The twelve orange rays emanating from the Quad-Sun represented the twelve millennia lying between the time of Asmenys in 25,200 BBY and the rise of the Black Sith in 13,000 BBY. The use of a black Quad-Sun as opposed to the traditional orange or red was a nod to the complexion of the Black Sith species. The usual shade of orange used to portray the standard Quad-Sun was instead used to represent the colors of the sunbeams.
