Darth Tectus

"We must remain... as fragments of a fallen empire."

- Tectus about Revan's Sith Empire

Darth Tectus was one of the Secret Sith, during and after the Jedi Civil War. His birth name was Fo'kar Uksaris, Brother of Glithos Uksaris. He disappeared during the Sith Civil War and returned a few years later. Although there was a long period of peace. Without causing great chaos, the Republic has been strengthened by the involvement of these secret Sith, which was quite their intention. Unlike Darth Volnus, the Bith didn't want the death of Darth Revan. Tectus and his apprentice tried to hold Revan's domination. After killing his Master Volnus on the Leviathan, Malak fired on Revan's Bridge. In the belief that Revan was dead, the two fled to Dxun. After a few weeks, both Sith went separate ways. Novus tried to contact his master but he was unable to detect him. As Novus docked a few years later under the alias Chanda Dazan on Citadel Station to make a travel break, he met his old Master again. Both allied themselves a second time and began a secret campaign, which however was not directed directly against the Jedi or the Republic.

Sith assassin under Revan and Malak
"You will make us faithful service"

- Darth Malak to Tectus During the Jedi Civil War Tectus began killing for Bounty even as a young and inexperienced student. After killing some Sith-Apprentices during a job, Malak began to care for the gifted Bith. Through his youth on Nar Shaddaa, he not only knew many contact men of the Exchange, he also knew some other bounty killers. He was soon requested by Lord Malak by his many well fulfilled orders. Few assassinations later, he was called to the Star Forge, where he remained a long time and followed further instructions. He also learned from other Dark Jedi and Sith.

The secret Sith
Tectus next Job was killing some would-be Sith on Coruscant. This target called Darth Spuma was the apprentice of another Sith, a Sith who was trained at the Academy of Korriban, Darth Volnus. Tectus killing this Sith-Apprentice impressed Volnus so much that he offered him the ways of the secret Sith. Tectus attacked Volnus, whereupon both dueled each other. As Tectus was beaten by Volnus, he asked Tectus if he would join him know. Tectus was not only excited about the offer, he also had to decide between life and death. Then he joined as a student of Volnus and soon as Master of Novus, a Duro from Taris.

Exile and Disappearance
Shortly before the end of the Jedi Civil War, Darth Tectus revolted against his master, because Volnus was against Revan. Novus agreed with his master Tectus whereupon both Sith rebelled against their leader. Volnus, captured on the Leviathan and waiting for the right moment to escape and find Malak, was disturbed by his two followers. They told Volnus that they where going to kill Malak and him, which brought confusion to Volnus. Tectus dueled his Master while Novus killed incoming Sith-Soldiers. After killing his Master both where running to the Bridge of the Leaviathan, where Malak ordered the Attack on Revan's Flagship. Only a three seconds later, Malak fired on Revan's flagship, whereupon the secret Sith recognized their unfortunate failure and both fled as fast as they could. They landed on Dxun in order to discuss their situation. Once they had established their camp and had to eliminate some Bomas, they decided not to betray Malak and go separate ways. Novus flew to Onderon while Tectus went to Taris to track down his brother, Glithos Uksaris, the manager of The Rancor Trio. Glithos apparently had only briefly been in contact with his brother. Meanwhile Novus heard rumors of Revan living under a new identity, whereupon he decided to track his old Master. Meeting Glithos Uksaris, Novus found out that Tectus went into the undercity of Taris. Novus, however, found no evidence of the whereabouts of his master.

Tectus encounters Revan
"What brings you here? (...) what could interest a Jedi so strong in the Force like you?"

- Tectus plays with Revan to test his memory

Almost one year later Tectus was detected on Tatooine. What he did there exactly is unclear, but we know that he visited his old friend Kel Durrat. Tectus spent some time in the Cantina of Anchorhead where he met Revan. Tectus was not only shocked, confused and surprised but he was also amused, because he realized that Malak was unable to kill his master with a dastardly betrayal. Tectus was not sure if he should tell him about the location of the Star Forge, though he knew this only too coarse. After a short conversation, Revan went back and devoted himself to find the star maps. Tectus contacted his old friend Kel Durrat shortly before his departure.

Return and Crusade
Four years later, Novus landed on Citadel Station to rest a bit and buy new supplies. He rented an apartment in a residential module and spent his days in the cantina or on the swoop-tracks. Two days later, he played a round Pazaak in the cantina. Suddenly he got a drink on the table. Novus turned to the service and asked who ordered the drink. The Droid pointed to a Bith on the bar who looked like his old master Darth Tectus. As Novus turned back to his opponent to say that he had to go away, the Bith disappeared without a trace. Novus went out of the cantina where the Bith was waiting for him. Tectus explained the situation and told him that there is a dark jedi who's waiting for some other survivors to join him and start a war especially against the Jedi Order, not the Republic. Tectus also wanted to strengthen the Republic and hold the balance. Both began a secret campaign. Although these plans did not follow the Sith ideology, the two called themselves secret Sith again.

Nar Shaddaa
Tectus looking for information about a Sith Artifact that was locked in Vogga's warehouses. Meanwhile the dark Jedi tried to find the location of this artifact identify why the two secret Sith were going to get it from him. Therefore, the two secret Sith Lords went into the Pazaak Den on Nar Shadda where they waited for their contact man and old friend Kel Durrat. Kel Durrat told his friends that he was now a Jedi, he would cover them, and he could help them beating back the threat. Kel Durrat gave them a datapad that showed the current distribution in the pylon. The datapad showed them a way into Vogga's warehouse. By a blockage, they could unlock some hidden ways so they could penetrate into the rooms unnoticed. As they went on their way, they met four dark Jedi, which they had to fight. Once they were able to beat back the threat they broke into the warehouse. They stole the artifact and took it away. Their next target was Manaan.
