Cult of Darth Zai'phyr

The Cult of Darth Zai'phyr existed on Coruscant during the last days of the Old Republic. Its activities included worshiping of Darth Zai'phyr and his holocron. The cult went defunct after the jedi Mus Plan killed its leader and arrested all of its members.

The cult of Darth Zay'phir was a Sith cult originated on Coruscant in the last years of the Old Republic. The cultists - force sensitive humans and Kel Dorians - would worship the ancient Sith Lord Darth Zai'phyr and his holocron. During her training on Coruscant, Mus Plan came across the cult and eliminated their leader. The rest of the cultist were arrested by the Jedi and the holocron has been locked away in the Jedi Temple's storage room.

Description
A certain force-sensitive student, upon failing to learn the ways of the Jedi, left the Jedi Temple. At some point, he came across Darth Zai'phyr's holocron, which offered to train him, and promised great power. In time, he gathered acolytes and the cult developed.

Recruitment
Much like the Jedi, the cultist would take children strong in the Force, but unlike the Jedi, the children were often kidnapped. The cult would also accept adults. Failures from both Jedi and Sith as well.

Activities
The cultist would train in the use of the Dark Side and lightsaber combat, would worship Darth Zai'phyr and his holocron. The holocron itself was kept under constant protection by two the most loyal cultist of each specialization - a fighter and a mage.

Ranks

 * Cult leader - there was only one leader, and that leader was the failed jedi student, who was also founder of the cult. He was the strongest member of the cult and would use two lightsabers - an orange one, and a purple one, to symbolize his mastery of both specializations. His cult tunic had gold markings.
 * Cult fighter - these were cultist specializing in lightsaber combat. They put little focus on Force mastery. They would use orange lightsabers and would have red markings.
 * Cult mage - these were cultist specializing in Force mastery. They put little focus on lightsaber combat. They would use purple lightsabers and would have blue markings.
 * Cult initiate - these were initiates, or acolytes, the newly joined members of the cult. They would use red lighsabers and would have white markings.

Membership
The cult would only accept force-sensitive Human and Kel Dorian males because Darth Zai'phyr was a male of either of those races. The confusion was due to his appearance in the holocron being hidden by the robes.

Discontinuation
During her training on Coruscant, the young jedi Mus Plan was ordered to seek out and eliminate a Sith cult. The cult turned out to be Darth Zai'phyr's cult. She fought, and killed, the cult leader, and two most loyal cultists. The rest of the cultist were arrested and the holocron had been confiscated by the jedi. Mus Plan achieved the rank of Jedi Knight after the mission.

Behind the scenes
The outfits of the cultists was inspired by the Marka Ragnos' cultists' outfits. The Zai'phyr cultists' outfits were made out of Human and Kel Dor basic clothing from Jedi Academy.
