Rhea

Rhea, officially titled as Rhea, Tsis'ari the First of the Line of Adas, Daughter of Typhojem, Living Vessel of Qyâsik, and Guardian Eternal of Korriban Hadzuska Koshûjontû and otherwise known as Rhea the Rebuilder, was the first Sith League and ruler of all the.

Early Life
The future Tsis'ari of the Sith League was born simply as Rhea, the result of a quiet affari between a married priest and a  engineer. With no clear parentage or caste distinction, Rhea was brought to the Temple of Typhojem Chirikyât outside the town of, where she spent her youth working as an attendant in the ceremonies and rites performed there.

Korriban-Ziost War
The fall of the in 0 AFRE presented the otherwise-disjointed  with a golden opportunity to expand into the hegemonic power vacuum left by the Rakatans. Uniting themselves under the banner of the Council of Kissai and the Faith of Typhojem, the Sith began expanding their influence to the surrounding systems, beginning first with

With the start of the Korriban-Ziost War, the Council of Kissai authorized the organization of a draft and conscription of all able-bodied Sith on Korriban. Though technically granted immunity as a member of the Faith, Rhea burned with a desire to aid her kinsmen on Ziost, and left the service of Temple to take up arms.

The armies that traveled to Ziost were poorly led, poorly armored, and poorly trained, and Rhea's company of assorted, , and conscripts suffered extensive losses during the Conquest of Greater Ronmar. Rhea herself barely escaped with her life during the latter part of the war.

Birth of the Sith League
With the annexation of Ziost and the end of the Korriban-Ziost War, the Sith League was born. The Charter of the Sith League, signed by members of both planets' Sith communities, united the species across the board, but made few provisions for actual governance. The Council of Kissai and the Faith of Typhojem continued their casual control of the League.

During this time, Rhea began cultivating a following of like-minded veterans of the Korriban-Ziost War. Scarred by their experiences during the War, brought about by poor training, Rhea and her followers implored the Council to consider the establishment of a professional soldiery, composed of career soldiers paid and armed by the state.

Rhea's admonitions won her a following of substantial size, and before long, the Council grudgingly made note of her presence. Testifying before them in, she recounted her experiences on Ziost, and suggested the establishment of a Sith League Military. Though initially unwilling to listen to the counsel of an upstart Sith of no particular caste or standing, the Council nonetheless heeded her advice, though they quickly took credit for the move and removed any mention of her from their records.

Though bereft of her proper due, Rhea maintained a cult following among both the Korriban masses and the Dreshdae elite, the latter of whom quickly spotted her natural aura of command and sought to capitalize upon her potential as a political tool. Her actions, though not officially documented, earned her the epithet "the Rebuilder" among the veterans she had helped to represent.

Coronation as Tsis'ari
For six years after that, the Council of Kissai and the associated Faith of Typhojem maintained control over the Sith League, ruling through the general principles outlined in the Charter of the Sith League. However, both were soon pressured to relinquish the reins of power and charged to establish clear legislation outlining the system of government. Foremost among these was Rhea, backed by the political opposition of the Council and beloved of the disgruntled citizens of the League.

Despite the Council's attempts to drag its collective feet, talks began in earnest in 14 AFRE between the Council and the political elite. The Constitution of the Sith League was drawn up in, and in an effort to appease the people, Rhea was elected by the Council to serve as the first Tsis'ari, or monarch of the Sith.

Behind the Scenes
Rhea, from the mother of gods of Greek mythology, was intended to serve as a -esque figure for the Sith League, spiced with hints of, the Roman general famous for reorganizing the Roman army into a -based fighting force.
