Darth Tomus

"I have a vision of what this galaxy should be like and I will destroy anyone who will try and stop me."

- Darth Tomus.

Darth Tomus, also known as Tom Keen when he was a Jedi Knight, was a Human male and powerful Sith Lord in command of a vast empire.

Early life
The exact details of Tomus’ early life cannot be ascertained. Though there were some that claimed he had been born beyond the Outer Rim Territories, the exact details of his parentage and homeworld remained a mystery. Regardless of his unknown origin, he was eventually deemed suitable at an early age for instruction in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order

Jedi training
Tom was trained by many masters; Jedi Master Coronus was the first who undertook Tom's initial instruction in the Jedi Arts. Tomus was trained both on Coruscant and at the Jedi Academy on Dantooine, on Dantooine he met a Human female named Vex, and they shared a friendly rivalry for many years until he bested her in a sparring match. The elder Jedi Knight Kriea Una noted Tomus's "insatiable" desire for knowledge in particular. At the time, she thought she could train him in the proper use of the Force and to teach him to use all knowledge he learnt for the betterment of the galaxy, however many on the Jedi council saw that Tomus was perhaps too eager to learn more about the Force, and even suspected him of seeking knowledge of ancient "Sith magic", which Kriea and Tom denied.

Tom's power in the Force kept on growing he learnt many force forms and Lightsaber forms at a quick pace, and the Jedi council took note of it they sent him and Keria on many diplomatic missions to keep him away from actual combat against foes, believing that he might slip to the Dark Side, however Tom picked up on this and demanded he be giving the same treatment as other Padawan's the councils treatment of Tom gained the attention of other Jedi who, petitioned the council to give him the average treatment of a Padawan instead of trying to shield him from the galaxy, after that the council gave in and gave him the same treatment as other Padawan's.

In 2,982 BBY, Tom was on the planet with his master Keria when the Corva Uprising began. With careful planning Tom and Keria managed to make it to a Republic friendly zone and found out that a Dark Jedi took control of the colony and used a mercenary force to take the capital and the surrounding settlements, Keria wanted a peaceful solution to the situation and she went to confront the Dark Jedi she told Tom to stay and guard against renewed attacks, Tom defiantly objected saying that the mercenary forces won't leave if the Dark Jedi is killed, Keria said she would find a peaceful solution and she left, the Republic commander said that he was right and Tom rallied the Republic forces to mount a three stage assault to retake the capital. After the assault was a success Keria returned wounded by the Dark Jedi, she tells Tom that they must wait for back up before she realised that the capital had been freed thanks to Tom's actions, Tom led the final push on the command centre and confronted the Dark Jedi after conversing with the fallen Jedi the began a intense lightsaber duel, Tom showed that he was equal to the fallen Jedi, after the fallen Jedi declared that he was more powerful Tom stated that he was holding back to get a feel for the fallen Jedi's technique and fought back throwing the fallen Jedi of balance and shocking Keria, after realising that he was no match for Tom he fallen Jedi surrendered to the Republic forces and was arrested. The Jedi Council congratulated Tom on his outstanding work on Corva and he returned to his training once Keria recovered.

After the uprising the Jedi council became wary of Tom, despite his brave deed that he did, they believed that he was showing signs of corruption Keria outraged by this told Tom what the council was saying and he confronted them about this starting a argument, once he pointed out to the council that they were being paranoid they asked Tom to forgive them which he did but Tom's faith in the council was getting strained once he noticed that he was being observed by several Jedi it was the last straw and he later joined a group that wished to change the Jedi Order.

Rise to Knighthood
In 2,981 BBY Tom took on several missions for the Republic and the Jedi to root out the remnants of the old that once threatened the entire Republic six centuries ago, after several unsuccessful missions the Republic deemed the Sith extinct. As the Jedi rejoiced in the fact that the Sith were no longer a major threat, Tom felt that the lost of the Sith meant that the Jedi have lost a source of knowledge of the Force, he began to sneak in to the Jedi archives to look for more knowledge on the Sith and started taking pilgrimages to ancient Sith worlds, the council began to catch wind of this and believed that he was falling to the Dark Side Keria defended him saying that he is trying to uncover lost secrets that would shed some light on to events that eluded the Jedi six centuries ago, the council reluctantly accepted this.

The council could no longer ignore Tom's power and growth as a Jedi, they reluctantly promoted Tom to Jedi Knight, Tom was glad to make the rank and he construed a new Lightsaber for the occasion. By 2,980 BBY, Tom became an famous Jedi Knight and earned the title Prodigal Knight, the council began to fear Tom's rise to fame and feared that it would get to his head so they came up with a plan for him to take on a Padawan learner in the hopes that while teaching he would not stray form the.

Taking a Padawan
Tom met the council on Dantoonie, where they told him that he is to take on a Padawan, he was introduce to Vette Vaner a Human female, he discovered that she is a below average Force sensitive and that if she doesn't get a master she will be sent away from the Jedi to work on the farms Tom out of pity for the young girl accepted her as a Padawan, he found out later that Vette was a perfectly capable Padawan she hid her power out of shyness, Tom made her more confident and trained her in an unorthodox way which antagonised the council. In months training Vette, Tom noticed that she was learning at a fast pace even the council took notice which in turn promoted Tom's unorthodox training methods which concerned the council greatly the council manage to make many Jedi take up the orthodox was again but after long debates and arguements. Tom and Vette traveled to Tatooine when they heard a rumour that a vile holocron was discovered there when the examined the artefact it showed them an unknown star system and a strange planet the hyperspace route data was encrypted. Tom contacted Tosen a former Jedi Knight to decrypt the data on the holocron once he uploaded the data he and Vette veiwed the holocron so see what other secerects where hiddien inside they found Sith teachings from the Jedi Civil War Tom took the holocron away and told Vette not to look upon it as it would corrupt her, he reluctaly agreed.

While on Coruscant he began investigating who could of created that holocron, Tom failed to notice that Vette had been sneaking the holocron to her room and was being seduced to the Dark Side by the holocrons teachings.

Failing the student
"Vette, What have you done! ''" "'' What I had to....Master."

- Tom confronting Vette.

Tom began to notice that Vette was more darker and arrogant and became concerned about it he made multiple attempts to change her ways but they all failed, Tom realised that it was the holocron that they picked up on Tatoonine that has been corrupting her he placed the holocron in a place that Vette wouldn't be able to use it. One days Vette confronts Tom about the holocron Tom tries to explain but Vette in a frantic panic over the lose of a valuable source of knowledge and power gets angry at him and storms off.

Many weeks later he would regret hiding the holocron, Vette in a rage stormed into the library and killed many Padawans who were using several holocrons, the council believed that she thought that Tom stored it in the archives, however he stored it in his own personal vault, Tom visits his former Padawan who was being held by the Jedi for trail, Tom told her that since she killed several Padawans in anger that she has fallen to the Dark Side and he informs her before he leaves that she could be locked up for a very long time, Vette angularly proclaims that she hates Tom with every fibre of her being and one day she will get her revenge on him and the Jedi, this declaration brings a tear to Tom as he walks away. On the day of the sentence the Jedi council debate on what to do some wished to punish Tom for his failings but many younger council members were against that and believed that it wasn't Tom fault, after hours of debating the council made a unanimous decision they chose to exile Vette for the Jedi and she was forbidden form Republic space as well, Tom protested against this saying that she would find away to strike back at the Jedi the council then told him that this was also his punishment that he would have to be prepared one day to fight her should that day arrive, shocked by the councils disregard for the safety of the order Tom left the council chambers and made plans with the faction of Jedi that wished to change the order, now named the White Knights, they decided to leave the order in secret and teach there version of the Jedi code, Tom would say behind as Vane told him that it would be best that he stayed away for now as the council seemed to be waiting for him to show any sign of corruption and leaving the order would give them the right to deal with him, Tom agreed and told Vane that he would attempt to change the Jedi from within.

In 2,980 BBY two months after the White Knights left, the council finally declared the names for the Jedi who left and they blamed the teachings of Tom for there "Fall" to the Dark Side, surprised that the acted against him soon Tom faced there judgement defiantly, arguing their claims at every turn making them think about the Jedi code eventually the council forced him into exile he surrendered his Lightsaber he booked passage on a transport and ventured off to Nar Shaddaa.

Ventures on Nar Shaddaa
Once he arrived on Nar Shaddaa he contacted Tosen a former Jedi Knight who he had contacted months ago to translate the Holocron encrypted coordinates, Tom informed him on what has happened, Tosen told him to meet up to discuss it in private he directed Tom to the slums, once Tom arrived he found Tosen talking with several smugglers and gangsters they soon walked away Tom asked what was that about and Tosen told him that he was making them leave the slums alone, Tosen informs Tom that the Holocron coordinates have been translated and programmed into a datapad Tom asks why it took soon long Tosen tells him to look around, Tom asks if there is a starship for sale Tosen tells there is but he won't be able to afford it, they make a plan for Tosen to raise the money while Tom walked on Nar Shaddaa looking for clarity form the Force.

While meditating Tom saw a glimpse of the future he saw a blue planet surrounded by debris, he was disturbed when two gangsters entered the room they demanded that he pay them credits but Tom used a Mind trick on them and they left, realising that Nar Shaddaa would be a difficult place to center himself he wandered the planet aimlessly hoping to find a spot to center himself. Tom came across the old refugee sector of Nar Shaddaa, which was abandoned 150 years after the he walked around the area until he found a spot which teemed with the force he concentrated and was giving a flash of a  life as an exile, after the vision he felt anger at the fact the Jedi for exiling him but he calmed himself down and returned to Tosen's home.

After spending two months on Nar Shaddaa, doing dirty deeds the deeds had an affect on Tom's life he became more darker and he studied in-depth the holocron that corrupted his old padawan. Tom eventually confronted Tosen about the lack progress on raising money for the starship, Tosen tells Tom the whole truth that he has been using Tom to raise his standing with the local criminal group in anger Tom attacks Tosen, Tosen caught off guard by this loses his right hand in pain he gives Tom the decrypted data and tells him where the starship is docked. While walking to the dock Tom's anger grew he was confronted by two Jedi who tell him that they were sent by the council after they sensed his "Fall", the two attacked him but they were no match for Tom and as one was cut down the other begged for mercy, Tom looked down at him angrily stating that the Jedi are as corrupt as the Republic and that he will change all that, he ruthlessly kills the defeated Jedi. Realising that has fallen to the Dark Side, Tom's eyes change colour as he cuts down the guards at the dock boarding the ship leaves Nar Shaddaa and puts in the coordinates in to the mysterious system that made his Padawan so obsessed with the Dark Side.

Mission to Lehon
"I have come to redeem you Master!''" "''No one can redeem me...not even you."

- Vette Vaner, and Tom.

Arriving in the Unknown Regions, Tom sets course for the world which he hoped would have the answers he sort. Upon landing he was met by the who guided him to the elders, when he met with the elders they sensed his darkness and attempted to remove it but Tom used his powers in the force to rip the knowledge form the elders minds and left them as empty husks, the Rakata guards attacked him but they proved no match for him, Tom headed towards the. Upon entering the temple Tom receives a flash of 's time in the temple after seeing him place a holocron inside an anti chamber beneath the temple Tom went there to discover what secrets were held inside, after opening the holocron he greeted by the old Sith Lord who describes in detail the errors of the Jedi ways, the Sith Code, knowledge of the, the locations of forgotten Sith Worlds and lastly the knowledge on how to reform the Sith into a stable and powerful empire. Tom asked the holocron for more knowledge the holocron scanned him and the holo of Darth Revan took off his mask and told him the secrets of several powerful Sith Techniques and warns him that he is walking a path that may destroy his very being if he is not cautious, Revan gives Tom a few parting words and the holocron powers down, Tom destroys the holocron to prevent anyone else from using it in the future now Tom fully turned to the Dark Side and he decided to search the ancient Sith Worlds for any remnants of the previous Sith Empires.

Exiting the temple Tom sees a redeemed Vette, shocked that she made it to Lehon he questions why she has come here, Vette angrily shouts at her former master telling him that she should have been the one to fully fall to the dark side not him, Tom laughs upon hearing this and tells her that she is not redeemed yet she stills has some darkness in her, Vette shrugged off the remark and she ignites her Lightsaber Tom ignites his and asks if she thinks she can defeat him not saying anything she lunges forward to attack her former master. The duel doesn't take long as Tom shows Vette his strength and abilities she is overwhelmed by his skill with a saber so she tries to defeat him with her force abilities however the young Jedi powers were no match for his, Tom used his enhanced Force push to send her flying off a nearby mountainside, as he walks towards where she fell he hears her voice trying to to return to the light he turned this against her and made her embrace the dark side again, he felt her anger grow and goaded her into attacking she angrily attacks him with each strike she got more angry but she was distracted Tom made a quick move and sliced off her right hand. She begs him to finish her but Tom tells him to wait on the planet for his summons he tells her that when he returns he will bring a mighty empire to conquer the Republic and destroy the Jedi she believed him and she would wait for his return. Tom takes his ship and updates his navicomputer with the coordinates of the forgotten Sith Worlds.

Searching the Sith Worlds
Tom spent a year searching the Sith Worlds he visited, , , , and  all in-depth he learnt a lot from what he could find on the planets but Tom wasn't satisfied yet, he was expecting to find at least a small faction of Sith on the worlds, but he found nothing but scraps of information, lost knowledge and powerful artefacts. While on Tom discovered an inhabited temple, they were descendants of former slaves to ancient Sith Lords they gave him directions to a tomb of a ancient Sith Lord who's tomb hold the information that Tom required. Tom entered the tomb the next day he experienced several visions while walking through the tomb each one reflected his past experiences, he ignored all but one, when he fist met Vex he was enthralled by the many options that he had but he broke free when he realised he was on a quest, Tom finally made it to the main chamber where he was confronted by the spirit of Darth Bardon, a Sith Pure-blood from seven centuries ago Tom questioned the ancient Sith spirit about the location of any Sith Remnants the spirit told him of a Sith World and  that would give him the knowledge he required. As Tom was leaving the spirit demanded that he realise him form his tomb, Tom denies the spirit but the spirit let out a large amount of energy and attempted to take over Tom's body however while the spirit battle for control of Tom's body, Tom striped the power from the Sith spirit rendering him powerless to fight any more the spirit begged for mercy but he was destroyed by Tom.

Leaving the tomb the former slaves attacked Tom for his transgression against there old master, but the stood no chance against Tom and they were all slaughtered.

Discovery on Ziost
Tom arrived in the star system where Ziost was, he sensed the massive Force Nexus on the plants surface and headed there. Landing on the old citadel's landing pad he is greeted by the harshness of the planets cold weather, he quickly made it inside the citadel and found multiple holo records of the Sith Pure-bloods who claimed the planet many thousands of years ago, he learnt much from the holo's about the history of the Sith and there plans, Tom was met by a Sith Pure-blood who welcomed him to the planet, Tom sensed that he was old and strong in the force Tom questioned him about how he has lived so long, the Sith tells him he has feed off the force that resides in the citadel and that it sustained him for many hundreds of years.

Tom asks the Sith his name and the Sith says his name, Darth Ban-she, the Darth shows Tom the heart of the force nexus and there he told him that he was expecting him and that if he wants the answers he seeks he must best him in a duel, Tom ignites his Lightsaber and jumps to attack him the duel ensues Ban-she was able to fight on par with him but Tom was the superior in the fight and eventually he managed to slash Ban-she's chest defeating him, Ban-she channelled the force nexus and launched into Tom who absorbed it he became more powerful. Ban-she was surprised that he had survived and he told Tom that the remnants he seeks are on and that he should be careful around them they as they were more powerful than Tom could imaging. Tom left and with the coordinates for Dromund Kaas going forth to his destiny.

Meeting the Remnants
Arriving in the Dromund System, Tom's starship was immediately captured by an Imperial Star Destroyer and brought aboard, he surrender to the solders and asked to be brought to their leader, he was imprisoned on Dromund Kaas where he spend three months there until he was brought before Darth Wraith de facto leader of the remnants of the. As Wraith looked upon Tom he remembered the power he felt many years ago and recognised it in Tom he realised that it was Tom's power he felt all those years ago, Wraith announced to Tom that he would be his new apprentice he gave Tom his Sith moniker, Darth Tomus.

Sith training under Wraith
"I shall make you into a powerful Sith my....apprentice."

- Darth Wraith.

Tomus started his training as a Sith almost immediately, under Darth Wraith's supervision he mastered powerful Sith techniques including Force lightning. Wraith taught Tomus to draw on his hate and rage for power, while giving him training in only the basics before forcing the apprentice to develop his own methods through sparring matches and brutal tests which Tomus past each time, surprising Wraith.

Tomus eventually became strong enough to see vision of the future, in one of his meditation sessions he saw him jumping towards Wraith and being killed, disturbed by this Tomus trained harder and made plans to kill Wraith before the vision came to pass however due to the help of Darth Bandon he was able to make sense of the vision and continued his training. During a combat training session Tomus was approached by Darth Bandon who informed him of a rebellion that has been buliding up for quite some time Tomus saw this as a chance to overthrow his master and rebulid the Sith into a powerful force in the galaxy once again Tomus told Bandon to gather the rebel leaders.

Planning for War
During the first meeting with the rebels, Tomus was introduced to the leaders they said they did not to serve an emperor that would kill them just to replace them with a Sith Army, knowning that the changes they want were in line with his own, Tomus made a promise to the Rebel to make the Imperial's stronger than ever and not have them involved in peaty power plays the Imperial rebels agreed and swore an oath to stand by Tomus no matter what. Next Tomus met the rebel faction in the Sith, the one's who believed that Wraith was weakening them by not allowing them to change with the times, Tomus made a convincing argument on how he would change the Sith once he was in power and told them to spread the word of change to the other Sith and Imperials.

Tomus rebellion grew in strength eventally he knew that Wraith would catch on to what he was doing and decided to strike first and ordered the rebels to capture muliple high priority targets while they were still weak, this began the Remnant Sith Civil War.

Civil War
"Darth Wraith has failed his Empire, I will make it strong again this I promise!."

- Darth Tomus.

After taking Tomus and his rebels took the Western Plains and the Tower of the Sith Lords, Tomus along with Darth Necrony and Darth Tortel planned the assault on the Dark Temple and ancient and power ruin that once captured would put the rebels within striking distance of the citadel, Tomus foresaw Darth Angraric would be lieing in wait for them so Tomus came up with a battle plan to strike at Darth Angraric's forces with minimal loses to the rebels, he ordered Necrony and Tortel to lead two separate forces, and then ordered them to move out. Tomus and his army arrived at the Dark Temple there he split his forces into two groups one would attack the front where they would distract Darth Angraric's forces while the other group attack through a secret passage to flank Angraric's forces. The first groups assault began and soon after Angraric's forces were flank many of Angraric's forces where killed and Tomus engaged Angraric is a Lightsaber duel, Angraric's use of the force to augment his strength failed as Tomus's speed and acrobatics were far superior and Angraric was cut down with the battle won the rebels garrisoned in the Dark Temple ready to strike at the Citadel.

In the year 2,977 BBY, the young Dark Lord gained countless victories across Dromund Kaas, Darth Wraith grew impatient and in a desperate attempted to end the war Wraith ordered the Imperial Navy to bombard known rebel bases and battles to put down the rebellion however Tomus's spies sabotaged nearly all of the ships in orbit but one managed to fire which struck a civilian target causing the civilian's to flock to Tomus's cause, unknown at the time, Tomus ordered the spies to redirect of one ship so they would look the like heroes who almost stopped Wraith's "massacre".

Despite all the victories the rebels made Darth Wraith's army wouldn't give any ground meaning that Tomus had to plan another way into the Citadel, with the help of a former follower of Darth Wraith, Darth Noz, Tomus discovered a secret entrance in the sewers deep below the Citadel. Tomus and Darth Noz entered the Citadel the next day and lowered the defences so that his rebel forces could attack the Citadel, the resulting fighting allowed Tomus to make his way to Darth Wraith.

Ending the War
"You...cannot be stronger than me...I WON'T ALLOW IT!."

- Darth Wraith, shortly before his death.

Tomus confronted Wraith who, upon his arrival unleashed a fury of at him, which he managed to  and then  the attack back at his former master, Wraith managed to get back up and said that he could easily break him and make him a loyal slave, but Tomus interrupted him saying that that he would never be his slave.

Then they began a lightsaber duel, whose victor would decide the fate of the Sith. During the vicious duel between the two, Darth Wraith retreated from the battle, and attempted to goad Tomus to attack him, the Sith Lord saw through Wraith's ploy and instead threw his lightsaber at him slicing Wraith in half.

Barely alive, Wraith told Tomus to come to his side once Tomus approached Wraith grabbed his leg and shouted at Tomus, after he finished shouting Tomus stabbed his lightsaber into Wraith's back. With Wraith dead Tomus made his way to the balcony and tossed Wraith's corpse off the balcony and proclaimed the end of the Civil War many Imperial's and Sith bowed before him as he proclaimed himself the Dark Lord of the Sith and the Sith Emperor.

Rebuilding an Empire
"This is a wasted husk of an empire, I will make it strong again."

- Darth Tomus.

Realizing it will take thousands of years to rebuild the shattered remnants into a true empire, Tomus used his knowledge of the to find an  to help him make his own Star Forge that would create his fleets and weapons in mere months rather than wait thousands of years. Tomus also faced a crisis of personnel as well, both the newly established Sith Order knew that the Sith Empire did not have the man power to rage war, Tomus held a tournament to pick out the best solider he did this to find a strong warrior to have cloned to create a clone army.

After the tournament the winner, Sgt Narek, was brought before Tomus where he gathered the Empires best Eugenics and Genetic engineer experts to plan the best way to improve Narek and his clones. After hours of tireless debate on what to do and what resources they would need, Tomus had the Imperial workers to use the Infinite engine to create multiple cloning facilities across Dromund Kaas, Tomus and the Genetic experts were surprised that the Infinite engine had data on advanced cloning techniques, Tomus speculated that the use to grow advance clones for there armies in months, the Eugenics experts had the Imperial Design Bureau create several means of which to train the clones fast, they showed Tomus the memory flash program which would allow all the clones in the tanks experience two hundred centuries of military tactics, Tomus ordered that the memory flash program to have a secondary function which would make them completely loyal to the Empire.

In the year 2,975 BBY, The Forge was complete and fully operational, and in the first month The Forge was already working at 150%, churning out over a hundred Dreadnoughts and Cruisers, Tomus was pleased with with the growth of his new Imperial Military as were the Imperial Military Council.

Tomus and the Sith were faced with a problem, the dwindling numbers of Sith knowing that the Republic will be backed by the Jedi Order, Tomus knew that he must have the Sith to combat them so he gathered his best Sith and journeyed to the forgotten Jedi enclave on where the White Knights set up after leaving the Jedi Order. Arriving at the enclave they were greeting by Vane who knew that he had fallen to the Dark side, Tomus asked them to abandon the Jedi and become Sith Vane argued with him, and ignited his Lightsaber to do battle with Tomus, Tomus used his powerful Force lightning to subdue Vane which was a demonstration to the others of the power of the Dark Side.

After this Vane gave himself to the Dark Side and soon enough everyone of the White Knights became Sith. Tomus ordered them to keep training new acolytes in the way of the Sith, he granted Vane the title, Darth Vox, and made him the Grand Master of Tomus's Sith Order, which he established years earlier.

Return of the Sith Purebloods
In the year 2,974 BBY, the empire was contacted with what remained of the Sith species, there leader Zoach wanted to rejoin the empire after hearing of what had happened to Darth Wraith and Tomus plans to rebuild the Sith Empire, Tomus discussed the matter with the Imperial Military Council and Government as well and the Sith Council, Tomus knew that his empire would need the ancient Sith species and allowed them to rejoin the empire.

Months after the Sith Purebloods rejoined the Empire, Tomus created the Imperial Senate and Zoach was the first member, Tomus created the Senate to control the star systems he would conquer more effectively and he wouldn't always have to stay in one place to keep order.

Conquest of the Unknown Regions
"So it begins''" "'' Yes it does we will slowly rebuild our lost power and then we take the galaxy!."

- Darth Vexas and Darth Tomus.

Tomus sent his newly created Imperial Navy out to conquer nearby systems for the Empire as well as old ones that had been forgotten about by the both the Empire and the Republic, the conquests several systems were swift often offering little challenge others surrendered and other welcomed the Empire and gladly joined, while some put up a fight in the end they were conquered, Tomus's Empire experienced a great growth so he sped up the production of clones and the production of military weapons and starships to prepare for the war with the Republic and the Jedi.

Months later, Tomus passed several new laws on his Empire and with in the Sith Order the new laws for his Empire where simple ones for stability, however the changes in the Sith Order were more of reforms he changed it so they were still allowed to follow their passion but they had to control them, they were forbidden from killing each other in the name of power plays, the Sith were not given standing with the Imperial Senate and were not allowed to influence decision making either, many Sith believed that they wouldn't be Sith any more but they couldn't argue as the history of the Sith was mired in betrayals and Civil wars, they kept quite about this and eventually forgot about it.

Tomus recreated Imperial Intelligence and had them infiltrate several key Republic systems to secretly take over them for the Empire, he ordered several top agents to also cause chaos within the Republic to weaken it, many of the older Sith wanted to be apart of this but Tomus warned them that the Jedi must believe that the chaos is political with no connection to the Sith.

Learning ancient secrets
"You will give me the knowledge I desire! ''" "'' Only when you prove yourself worthy of my time."

- Darth Tomus conversing with a force ghost.

In 2,973 BBY, Tomus had several visions of the future about him meeting a powerful force ghost that would teach him power secrets. He made his way into the deep into the depth of the Dark Temple on Dromund Kaas and enter a previously undiscovered tomb, entering the tomb he was greeted by the force ghost from his vision and he demanded that he be given all of it's secrets, the ghost refused telling Tomus to prove his worth to the it, the ghost awakened a powerful and order it to kill Tomus. The battle with the Deshade was long but Tomus managed to cut it down and the ghost began to teach Tomus it's greatest secrets.

Tomus learnt how to negate his age and to how to kill spirits and absorb the knowledge and power, Tomus developed his age negation powers to undiscovered heights to the point he could affect anyone he wished, his control over this power allowed him to permanently change his cell so he would never age. Tomus after learning everything he could from the ghost Tomus destroyed it and absorbed it's knowledge and power.

Discovering a new region
"There is a governing body of this new region not as big as the Republic but large enough, it is called the Confederated Government of Systems."

- Imperial Scout explaining the new region to Darth Tomus.

With his new powers Tomus set out to discover more of the Unknown Regions to conquer more of the unknown to strengthen his Empire, he sent multiple scouts to chart new hyperspace routes to the discover more of the Unknown Regions, many would not return while others returned and reported new systems ripe with new species and governments, Tomus had these newly discovered systems conquered or used his diplomacy to have them join his Empire.

One of the scouts reported that he discovered a completely new region of space which he called the Nexus Region, this region had a powerful government backed with a large military, many of the Military Council wanted to conquer the newly discovered region with the fleet, but Tomus and the Imperial Senate knew that in the long run a war with a large government would weaken them in the long run so it was decided that a diplomatic solution would be made. Tomus met with the leader of the Confederated Government of Systems, during the talks Tomus of the leaders to support and join the Empire, months later and they official joined the Empire added economic growth and more ships and most importantly more force sensitive to become Sith.

Final preparations
In the year 2,970 BBY, Tomus's Empire was in a golden age, the citizens celebrated the Empires renewal and scope, Tomus was pleased with this and with the Moff Council he made the final preparations to invade the Republic however and media group realised a rumour that the Empire would attack the Republic which caused the citizens to become sceptical they did not wish to enter a war which could destroy them Empire that Tomus saved. Tomus knew that if he invaded the Republic without the backing of his Empire's citizens they would cause unrest which would weaken them and could potentially destroy the Empire in the long run.

Imperial Intelligence came up with the idea to have the Republic attack one of the Empires worlds making it seem like a pre-emptive strike against the Empire thus it would make the citizens and governing bodies wish to retaliate, Tomus approved of this and before long Imperial Intelligence sent false reports about the planet Kidroma knowing that the Republic will attack out of fear. Just as planned the Republic launched an massive assault on the planet, bombarding what they thought were Sith Temples and Weapons Plants, what they really were bombarding were cities and settlements. News reached all the Imperials that the Republic attack and Tomus used this to rally the people to go to war with the Republic for revenge, Tomus prepared his mighty clone army to move out to war.

Personality and traits
"He was kind hearted man the best example of a Jedi in my opinion and the best hope for this galaxy."

- Keria Una reflecting on Tom.

Before his fall to the dark side of the Force, Tomus was a very gifted Jedi who possessed the potential to become a champion of the Jedi Order, as believed by Jedi Master Oteg. In addition to his exceptional skills, Tomus was also noted for having a charismatic personality and insatiable desire for knowledge. His abilities in charisma and persuasion were more than powerful enough to win the personal loyalty of countless Republic soldiers, including thousands of Jedi who willingly stood with him to against the wishes of the Jedi Council. As a general, Tomus was acknowledged as the greatest military tactician of his time, especially due to the fact that his entry into the Sith Civil War was a pivotal turning point for the all but defeated Sith Empire. Intelligent and decisive, Tomus won the devotion and loyatil of not only his followers, but also the Sith, many of whom were humbled after being defeated by Tomus's tactics. As a military strategist, his exploits were legendary throughout his Sith Empire.

Ultimately he turned to the dark side by becoming the feared Sith Lord Darth Tomus, determined to conquer the Republic that he originally tried to protect and exact revenage agains the Jedi. As time went on he change his original goal from revenge to conquering the galaxy and turning a run down Empire into a stronger force better capable at defending itself. Darth Hadas observed how Tomus's strategy was based on a more complex plan than simply destroying all opposition in his path Tomus's plan was to purposely spare planets that were essential to the Republic's economic and military infrastructure. In order to build a long-lasting Empire in a short span of time, Tomus understood that he needed the Republic's overall structure to remain intact so as to avoid building an galactic-spanning empire from total scratch.

Darth Hadas observed how Tomus's strategy was based on a more complex plan than simply destroying all opposition in his path Tomus's plan was to purposely spare planets that were essential to the Republic's economic and military infrastructure. In order to build a long-lasting Empire in a short span of time, Tomus understood that he needed the Republic's overall structure to remain intact so as to avoid building an galactic-spanning empire from total scratch

At the height of his reign as the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Tomus had given himself fully to the dark side. Honor and glory meant nothing to him any longer. The feelings of compassion, mercy and loyalty no longer held any relevance to him as they once did during his time as a Jedi; he had embraced the Sith philosophy for the sake of power and control through the dark side of the Force. As far as Tomus was concerned, it was all or nothing—to walk the path of moderation was to be dragged down into failure by one's own conceits. By immersing himself in darkness, Tomus understood that the nature of the dark side could be both the greatest strength and weakness of the Sith—to cull the weak from the ranks of the strong, yet also being forced to remain eternally vigilant for signs of treachery. To that end, Tomus reformed the Sith into the Sith Order and seprated the Sith's influance with the Imperial Military, to avoid the Sith using the military against each other in pety power plays, a move that angered the Sith but over time they would accepted this. Tomus made many rules to the Sith that reformed them some popluar while other unpoplar, as the Emperor he made changes to it as well which allowed any one who showed Force sensitivty was to be allowed to be come Sith which ment that any alien slaves could become Sith.

One of his greatest traits as the Dark Lord, however, was his ability as a manipulator. The combination of his charismatic personality and the allure of the dark side was more than enough to cause even the strongest of Jedi and countless Republic soldiers to break their former allegiances and flock to Tomus's cause. The greatest testament to his skill in manipulation was in the person of his first follower and best friend Darth Imperius, formerly the Jedi Vex who once possessed a strong affinity for the Jedi and the Republic. In training Imperius, Tomus turned a once prominent Jedi Knight, who staunchly upheld the values of the Jedi Order, into a brutish Sith Lord with a bloodlust for extreme violence and death.

Physical appearance
Tomus was an unprepossessing man, with fair skin, brown hair and green eyes. Tomus described his own features as "unremarkable" and "average". During the His exile Tomus took to wearing his hair long where he it tied back. At some point before or after his fall to the Dark Side, Tomus had grown a beard, which he wore throughout the Sith Civil War, and after. This beard eventually became a trademark part of his appearance.
