Darth Karthas

"Your loss on Hoth is regrettable, but such a thing in inevitable when permanent bases are set upon planets. No matter how well defended they may be, time remains the enemy of all beings."

- Darth Karthas, to Crix Madine

Powers and abilities
"The lightsaber is a powerful weapon. From even an initial glance, I can see that my own is stronger than this one, though that is not to say yours is useless, no, quite the opposite. I sense it has a certain strength to it that can be found in it's loyalty to you, despite it's recent creation; and that is an advantage it has that you must not forget. Perhaps in time, it will be mine that becomes useless."

- Darth Karthas, upon discovery of Luke Skywalker's newly created Lightsaber Darth Karthas was a natural in Form VI lightsaber combat. Even during her Sith Trials on Korriban, Darth Karthas often overshadowed her peers in her skills with the lightsaber, earning the close eye of many Darths, as well as the scorn of many other aspiring acolytes. That is not to say that she was undefeated, as despite her natural skill in the form, it was still sloppy and unrefined, superior only to the other acolytes, who they, themselves had yet to work on a lightsaber form of their own. Darth karthas' lightsaber form would incorperate moves from Form II, Form IV, and Form VII during her trials, up until she was taken under the wing of Darth Marena, wherein her style was refined into a purer form of Form VI.

As Darth Karthas continued honing her skills under the command of Darth Marena, her skills improved drastically, her early desiscion of lightsaber form allowing the inital practices to be quickly flowed through without wasting time attempting to determine which form suited her. During her missions, Darth Karthas found much satisfaction in the killing of other melee-oriented foes, especially those who wielded other lightsabers; whenever she had a chance, she would collect the remains of her opponants weapon and add them to a growing collection, after only a year, the walls of her room were filled with weapons of all forms, many of which cleanly sliced in half, others left in many pieces, and those which remained in one piece were added to her arsenal for whatever mission she may be sent on.
