Raixan Fauth

"If Raixan Fauth succeeds, if the holocron falls into his possession and he lays claim to even the Force itself, then the galaxy will know a great darkness the likes of which it has never seen before."

- Rend Arcturius Raixan Fauth was a Human male Force-sensitive warlord and a powerful figure in the dark side of the Force. Born to the ancient Asrai cult, a group of dark side adepts crushed by the Jedi Order, on a planet in the Unknown Regions, Fauth was trained to be the greatest warrior he could be, and eventually came to believe that the whole of the universe, even the Force, belonged to him. Killing those who raised him, Fauth later formed his own fleet and launched an assault on the galaxy, intent on conquering it all for his own and destroying the Galactic Federation Triumvirate completely. After a series of early successes, he began to pursue a certain holocron that was believed to hold within it the deepest secrets of the light. In doing so, he arrived on the planet of Aranya and encountered resistance in the form of Calen Solayr, a fellow Force-sensitive, as well as Jedi apprentice Anhri Claynes, hyperspace explorer Skyric Worrsayn, and the astromech droid Z1-X1. Pursuing them off-planet, he faced off against the Triumvirate SIS in the Battle of Hideaway, where he sustained his first major military defeat.

Turning against the New Jedi Order, Fauth ordered the Second Great Jedi Purge, which succeeded in bringing the Order to its knees. Taking up the hunt personally, the warlord tracked them down to their new homeworld of New Tython, later summoning his troops to start another battle. Slaying a great deal of high-ranking Jedi, Fauth also dueled Solayr and defeated him handily before finishing off the fight, ending the Purge as the Jedi collapsed.

With the Order out of his way, Fauth launched a dizzying series of attacks on the Core, eventually defeating the Triumvirate once and for all by taking their capital. With that done and his grip over the galaxy more assured than ever, Fauth turned to eradicating the 'Underground' that continued to resist him as the SIS itself launched an operation to both locate his homeworld and turn the entirety of the galaxy against his rule, with both sides racing to finally defeat the other.

Taking Coruscant
"Triumvirs. Your fleet is broken beyond repair. Your fighting force is crippled. Your capital is in my hands. For all intents and purposes, this war is over. What I'm offering is my last remaining bit of clemency."

- Fauth to the three leaders of the Triumvirate, shortly after the fall of Coruscant.
