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 Keria 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. Shortly afterwards 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 process.

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 holocron was discovered there. When they arrived Tom examined the artefact it showed him an unknown star system and a strange planet, Tom tried to see if he could get the coordinates for the system but he discovered that the data was encrypted. Tom later 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 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 stayed 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 a year 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.

Exile
"So this is the exiles life."

- Tom Keen.

Tom wandered the for at least a year before returning to the known galaxy. He arrived on Nar Shaddaa to meet Tosen to get the information on the unknown star system.

Tosen gave him the decrypted data and sensed that Tom had darkness in him and confronted him about what happened to him during his exile. Tom recalled visiting Korriban where he delved into the holocron that corrupted his Padawan he attempted to find the reason why and destroy it however he fell into darkness and immersed himself in the dark side energise of Korriban.

Tosen became nervous and ignited his lightsaber and attacked Tom, but he throwing Tosen off the mega skyscraper. Tom then stole a starship form the docks and continued his exile. While settling on Tatoonie he encountered a Jedi Master who sensed his darkness, he talked with Tom about the Jedi Order and the code it quickly turned into an argument it became to intense Tom used the Jedi Masters own lightsaber to cut him down. As the Jedi Master laid on the floor dying Tom told him that he will destroy the Jedi and replace them with a stronger version the Jedi Master told him what he is talking about is the Sith.

A month later Tom left Tatoonie to search for the world mention in the Sith Holocron. Before he could leave the space-port he was confronted by Exchange thugs who wanted to collect the bounty on his head, Tom easily killed them and took their credits he used the credits to buy supplies, new clothes and fuel for his journey to.

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
"I'm Darth Ban-she, and I know why you are hear!."

- Darth Ban-she.

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
"From this day forward you shall been known as Darth....Tomus."

- Darth Wraith giving Tom his Sith name.

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
"Wraith needs to die he is the cancer of this Empire with him gone it shall prosper once again."

- Darth Tomus.

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
"The Sith Purebloods have returned.....good everything is coming together just as I have foreseen."

- Darth Tomus.

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 Parliament 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 Vedas 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 Sith Spirit.

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.

The Sith spirit taught Tomus how to preform and, Tomus questioned the spirit on ways to become immortal the spirit at first refused to tell him anything about how to become immortal, but later seeing Tomus' quickly learning all he taught proceeded to tell him multiple ways to become immortal.

The ways that the spirit told him were in Tomus' eyes wasting lives, the spirit was visibly angered by Tomus' statement asked if he was truly Sith, Tomus replied by saying he is revolutionising the Sith the Spirit refused to teach him more and tried to kill Tomus but failed, Tomus laughed and fired force lightning at the spirit which went straight through the spirit, Tomus then used the force to hold the spirit in place and destroyed it.

Shortly afterwards Tomus found a holocron and a tablet both of which held powerful rituals which Tomus deemed useful to his plans. Armed with the knowledge of Sith alchemy Tomus began researching ways to become immortal with out having to kill a planet or transferring his essence into another body.

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
"The time has come we will destroy the Republic for what the did to Kidroma!."

- Grand Moff Killian.

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 and members of Parliament 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 of the Republic's 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.

The Imperial War
"At last I return and now the Jedi will pay!."

- Darth Tomus.

In the year 2,969 BBY, Tomus began his war with the Republic in the first skirmishes the Republic gave ground in the and a majority of the territories were conquered by Tomus' mighty armies. During the Republics confusion Tomus travelled to Korriban, and seized control of the planet, establishing a new Sith academy to train his Sith. The war was bloody leaving the Republic crippled, when the Jedi joined the battle Tomus attacked the Jedi Temple on killing all the Jedi defenders, he ordered that the knowledge be stripped from the temple and transported to the  Academy for study, this move was an insult to the Jedi and a message. The fighting made it to the borders of the the Republic defended it with all it's might, Tomus ordered that the Empire focus on taking the Outer Rim before moving in on the Core Worlds.

Despite the Republic's and the Jedi's best efforts the Outer Rim fell completely into Tomus' hands. Tomus knew that the Jedi will now fully back the Republic in the war against him and that he had to have strong Sith to defeat them he pioneered new lightsaber techniques to exploit the weaknesses of the many of the Jedi's own. Tomus established strongholds and academies on worlds that had any connection to the force, there he had Sith trained in ancient techniques as well as new techniques. At this time Tomus contacted Vette Vaner who over the past seven years gathered a cult and trained them in the ways of the Sith, which pleased him he made Vette a Sith Lord and gave her a seat on the Sith Council.

Tomus led a successful campaign to destroy many Jedi Enclaves and Temples while the Battle of Dantooine was being fought he encoutered Vex — who had attained the the rank of Jedi Master during his time away, he was surprised to see her, he dropped her lightsaber and cried at the sight of him, while her guard was down a Sith Warrior tried to cut her down but Tomus killed him, Vex admitted to loving Tomus when he was still a Jedi and she could not bring herself to kill him, Tomus seduced her to Dark Side by using her love for him they shared a kiss in the middle of the battlefield, to prove herself to Tomus she killed Obi-Kai Starwalker and pledged herself to Tomus' teaching.

The following year, Tomus personally lead the campaigns into the, the Republic fought bravely and manage to slow down the victories of the Empire thanks to the Jedi but the war was dwindling the Jedi's numbers some even fell to the Dark Side and join Tomus' Empire. Following the Battle above Dxun, Tomus conquered which struck a major blow to the Republic. With Tomus at the helm of his fleet he won battle after battle by this time three sectors of the Inner Rim were his. The Republic attempted multiple attempts to negotiate a peace treaty so that the war could end but Tomus refused saying that any treaty they sign will be in the Republic's favour not his Empires.

The Jedi's Ambush
"I see they are going to try and capture me....we will see about that!."

- Darth Tomus.

Following the victories in the Inner Rim the Jedi agreed to a drastic measure they wanted to capture Tomus and turn him back to the Light Side, they organised several of there best Jedi Knights into a strike team and planned to ambush Tomus by luring him into battle with a small Republic fleet they leaked the information to the Empire, Tomus knew that it was an ambush and prepared his ship to reply the Jedi he hand pick over sixty elite Sith. Tomus played into the Jedi's hand making them believe that they had the upper hand he allowed the strike team to board his ship, he sensed the strike team engage his Sith forces and as the last one fell he gave the signal for his fleet enter the battle.

As the fleet arrived the small Republic fleet was immediately crippled and the ships boarded on the capital ship they captured Jedi Master Voz who guided the strike team he was sent to Dromund Kaas for interrogation. Tomus was pleased with his victory and sent a message to the Jedi saying that they could do nothing to stop him, after that he returned to the war effort.

Peace with the Republic
"We will not give the Republic peace maybe false peace, but that's all."

- Grand Moff Killian.

After two years of war Tomus' Empire controlled much of the Inner Rim and the Jedi were almost decimated defending the Republic, Tomus saw that his mighty clone army was dwindling due to the constant war and if it kept up he would have to eventually agree to a cease fire, however he did not want to agree to any peace treaty just yet until he could dictate the term's of the treaty, Tomus masterminded a plan to attack Coruscant and strike a blow to the Jedi that they wouldn't recover from, he ordered the spies within the Republic to sabotage the detection system above Coruscant and to place a hyperspace beacon so that their fleets could jump strait to Coruscant when it was done Tomus contacted the Republic to set up a meeting on a neutral world to discuss the terms of the peace treaty.

While the Republics forces we away protected the diplomatic convoy on its way to Alderaan, Tomus sent the signal to begin the assault. The assault was bloody and many Republic forces and Jedi died, the Jedi Temple was sacked and the Republic was crippled due to the deaths of many senators. On Alderaan the news reached the Supreme Chancellor who with his Jedi bodyguards and a fight almost broke out but the Jedi stopped both parties before they began and the Jedi swalowed their pride and told the Supreme Chancellor to agree to what ever terms Tomus made they were at his mercy, Tomus dictated the terms of the peace treaty which allowed them to have access to the Core Worlds, the treaty would go down in history as the "Sith Treaty", the war was over but a Cold War began.

The Cold War
"This peace is a sham, this Cold War is to let the Republic say it's goodbyes."

- Darth Tomus.

Due to the terms of the treaty Tomus had the Republic isolate the Jedi to other temples and enclaves were abandon and all the Jedi we sent to Tython where they would attempt to find a way to defeat Tomus. Tomus not knowing the exact location of Tython used the treaty to gather all the remaining Jedi in one place so he could sense them through the force his plan worked and he and the Sith gain the location of Tython.

Tomus knew that the weakened Republic would try it's best to attack his Empire from the shadows so ordered Imperial Intelligence to destroy the major spy networks of the Republic a task that would take a majority of the Cold War to accomplish. The Empire had to deal with proxy wars that where waging across worlds that were split between the Republic and the Empire, the proxy wars would be the focus of the Moff council for many months after the war. Tomus throughout the Cold War torture and interrogate Jedi Master Voz for Republic codes that would enable his Navy to strike at Coruscant, since the hyperspace beacon was destroyed by the Republic.

Confrontation with the Grand Master
"You have arrived....Good..Good I have expected you."

- Darth Tomus, greeting Master Surik.

In the year 2,964 BBY, the Empire consolidated it power across it conquered star systems the last planet to embrace the Empire was, the Jedi Council believed that if they could capture or kill Tomus the Sith would fragment and destroy each other, the new Grand Master, Tonal Surik, decided that he would confront Tomus at the Imperial Palace on Dromund Kaas, the Order gave him their blessings and Tonal left after appointing the new Grand Master of the Jedi Order.

Tomus foresaw this told his Imperial Guards not to interfere in the battle and to let Tonal past through all his defensive's. Tonal approached Tomus in his throne room and told him to surrender which Tomus laughed at this and launched a furious Force Lightning at Tonal which sent him flying into a wall, Tomus ignited his lightsaber, preparing to deliver the final blow but he was back by Tonal, Tomus walked towards Tonal and lunged forward their lightsaber's connecting they began their duel.

Tonal's best efforts were nothing as Tomus countered everything Tonal used, during the shorts breaks in the duel Tonal attempted to convince Tomus to return to the Light Side Tomus refused and each time aggressively attacking Tonal pushing him back each time, Tomus gathered his dark side powers and struck Tonal with his which burnt Tonal flesh and singed his robes Tonal attempted to  but the pain was to much for the Jedi Master and he was eventually ripped apart by Tomus' power and reduce to ashes.

Tomus knew that the Jedi were getting desperate to defeat him he contacted the members of the Sith High Council and told them to meet him in the council chambers of the Sith Temple to discuss Tonal's attack.

As the council members asked Tomus questions about the attack they agreed that the Jedi needed to be purged from the galaxy as revenge before were to make a move against the Galactic Republic, Tomus knew that his Sith Order had to be at it's strongest before then so he explained to the Council that the Sith must be properly trained for when they attack.

In search of Revan's secrets
Tomus endeavored to learn of 's greatest secrets to that end he visited several planets where Revan built his strongholds: on he experianced a vision of the past where Revan and Malak discussed their plans for the  eventually he left after this vision. After departing Yavin IV, Darth Vedas discovered a temple on that was built by Revan, Tomus departed the Yavin system and headed towards Rhen Var.

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.

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 Remnant Sith Civil War, and after. This beard eventually became a trademark part of his appearance.

Powers and abilities
"His potential is unlimited..he may surpass me soon enough we must prepare for that moment!"

- Darth Wraith to his Secret Apprentice.

Tomus was the most powerful Jedi of his time, and proved his mettle during difficult and challenging scenarios. He defeated several powerful and dangerous adversaries in single combat, including Yusan, Oteg, Keria, Darth Nord, Darth Ban-she, Darth Malgas, and Darth Nyriss III. Tomus was also very charismatic and could easily inspire others to join his cause. He played a pivotal role in reshaping the Galactic events with his exploits. When Tomus walked the path of darkness, he managed to corrupt several notable individuals on his way including Vex, Tosen and Vane.

Lightsaber training
"His skill with a Lightsaber puts the best Jedi Master to shame."

- Darth Vedas about Tomus skills.

Tomus was a skilled swordsman. While dueling his opponents, Tomus performed acrobatic maneuvers to increase his effectiveness. Tomus also used his advanced precognition abilities to anticipate the dueling moves of his opponents in advance with high accuracy to effectively counter them, and outsmart his opponents. When he fell to the Dark Side he became more agressive in his attacks they were the same moves but backed by agression.

Tomus wielded a blue-bladed lightsaber during his days a Jedi. During his exile he wielded a cyan-bladed lightsaber. Upon falling to the dark side of the Force and becoming a Sith Lord, he would change his lightsaber color to crimson. During his duel with Darth Ban-she he duel wielded lightsabers showing incredible skill.

Force abilities
"When I looked upon him it was like staring at the heart of the force..."

- Darth Vedas.

Tomus was very strong in the Force—the most gifted of his time—and eventually, by all accounts, managed to gain exceptional command of the Force. Many of his peers were impressed by his talents and skills, while the Master secretly feared that he would change the Jedi Order. Another powerful Jedi, Vex, particularly noted that Tomus's command of the Force was greater than that of anyone else she had ever met even the Grand Master Obi-Kai Starwalker.

Tomus could use the Force to augment his physical strength, speed, and perform various acrobatic feats. Tomus had incredible Force sense abilities. With focus, he could sense the presence of another Force-user across the span of the entire Galaxy he could also sense Jedi who try to hide there presence. He could also use the Force to assist him under challenging situations which involved precise judgements. During his time on Dantooine, Tomus performed inconjunction with Telekinesis. Tomus was adept at using the Force to directly without seeking medication attention. Tomus also possessed the ability to resist the effects of poisons and drugs.

Tomus was proficient in the application of Telekinesis being able to move heavy objects simultaneously with mere gestures. He could also hurl heavy objects as missiles towards his targets. In addition, he could Push, Grip, Choke and Crush his targets with the Force. Tomus could also use the Force to create a whirlwind of Force energy to overwhelm his opponents.Furthermore, Tomus was adept in the use of Saber Throw technique and used this ability to cut down multiple opponents simultaneously from a distance.

Tomus also had the rare ability to perceive and used the ability in many ways from lightsaber and force combat to politics.

Tomus was proficient in the application of Force lightning, and also in the use of defensive techniques to counter it, Tomus had unique colour of Force lightning it was coloured red and was more powerful than the purple Force lightning. Tomus could use his bare hands to absorb and deflect very powerful Force lightning attacks. Very few Force-users in the galactic history have demonstrated this ability.

Tomus possessed the capabilities to influence the physical and mental condition of his opponents. He was capable of using mind tricks on his opponents, and force his will on them. Tomus could also steal knowledge from his opponents, and particularly used this ability to probe the mind of Lord Vars during his first encounter with him.In addition, Tomus could afflict his targets, and replenish his energies by feeding on them. He was particularly immune to the effects of fear. Furthermore, Tomus could psychologically manipulate his opponents to use them as tools for his plans.

During his apprenticeship under Darth Wraith he learnt many ancient Sith technques and mastered them extremly fast, Darth Wraith was impressed at this but also fearful. Tomus was gifted with Farsight abilities, and commonly experienced Force visions, which guided him in his quests. He could also sense danger in advance.
