Ajunta Pall's Blade (Click For Picture) Held by the Dark Jedi even before he fell to the dark side, this may be one of the few truly personal items owned by Ajunta Pall, and remains as thoroughly as corrupted as he. Alchemy Equipment Sith alchemy equipment is an array of complex, specialized machinery. Presumably, it should include a bank of machines, with a control station for the user, and a chamber for the object on which the alchemical alteration is performed (which may be living or nonliving). While the devices are capable of otherwise impossible alterations to both living and nonliving things, it can only be properly controlled by a Force-user with the Alchemy power. Any attempt made by a non-Force-using character will result in a subject damaged beyond use or repair. Alchemy equipment costs approximately 10,000 credits. More specialized equipment can be purchased or constructed for 10 times the normal cost. Specialized alchemy equipment has only one function (create Sith blades, create Sith poisons, perform biological mutation, etc.). Book of Sith Lore (Click For Picture) Originally kept in the Great Galactic Museum on Coruscant, this book was stolen by Aleema and Satal Keto who used the Sith Magic detailed in the book to overthrow the Tetan Monarchy in the Empress Teta System. Bracers of Najus (Click For Picture) This ancient, Sith artifact was believed to have been hidden away beneath the Bleaks mountain range on Leritor. They were discovered by Profex Rynalla of the University of Sanbra, but she planned to use them for her own designs. The Bracers themselves were hidden in the wreckage of an ancient starship, where they had lain for millennia. The Bracers were originally created by the Sith Lord Najus, who hoped to use them to eliminate the Jedi Knights, and were unusually powerless if used against another Sith. Rynalla located the Bracers during her excavations, but the site was destroyed in a struggle and the Bracers were, once again, lost in the mountains. Concentration Talisman The Sith developed talismans of concentration to help them focus during long, elaborate rites, those typically associated with the tapping of vast amounts of dark side power. The talisman allowed a sorceror to concentrate all of his will to the creation of the desired effect, temporarily increasing his ability to manipulate the Force. Unfortunately, use of such a device often caused the wielder to succumb to exhaustion the moment his Force effect was completed - a defect that prevented such talismans from becomming commonly used, especially in battle. Jedi are also able to use these talismans to boost their concentration, aiding them in their long struggle with the Sith. Crystal Swords and Armour In the most ancient of lightsabers, Adegan crystals were used as the focusing gems. It would follow that such crystals would be able to parry the lightsaber blades. Some of the Sith Empire's worlds existed in the Adegan sector before it was ravaged by the supernova which caused the Cron Drift. But, some of the ancient swords survived because they were buried with their owners in the Valley of the Sith Lords on Korriban. Draven has recently made a trek to his family tomb on Korriban and found a breastplate made of Adegan crystal. Although uncomfortable due to it being formed to another's chest dimensions, Draven wears it during ceremonies and lightsaber duels. Dark Armour (Click For Picture) This Armor can be but isn't always alchemicly enhanced to make it lighter or harder etc. But it is always custom made for their wearers. Also almost no Armor ever gets found or passed down most Sith wear it to the grave or have it destroyed when they are. Dark Combat Jump Suit A heavily-paded jumpsuit that incorporates Cortosis weave, a material that deactivates any lightsaber that damages the wearer. This armour also grants its wearer increased protection from Projective and Receptive Telepathy used by other Force users, and increases the difficulty of a Force user sensing the wearer with Life Detection and Life Sense. Dark Heavy Battle Armour This heavily-plated armour conveys incresed defense against physical and energy damage. It is imbued with Dark Side stealth to keep the wearer hidden against Life Detection and Life Sense. This armour also grants its wearer increased protection from Projective and Receptive Telepathy used by other Force users and increses the wearers physical strength. Dark Paded Battle Armour This armour provides the wearer with increased defense against physical and energy damage. This armour is also imbued with Dark Side energy, granting the wearer increased defense against light side Force powers, or any Force power augmented by the light side. Dark Reaper This ancient Sith weapon was believed to have been lost, until Count Dooku - known to the Sith as Darth Tyranus - was dispatched by Darth Sidious to locate it, during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The forces of the Old Republic were able to learn of Dooku's mission and intercept him, preventing an possible recovery of the weapon. The Dark Reaper itself was created during the time of the Great Sith War, and was most likely the idea of Ulic Qel-Droma and his fellow Sith. The Reaper itself was a saucer-shaped weapon that required a separate power source - the Force Harvester. Thousands of years later, when the Dark Reaper was to be actived by Dooku, the spirit of Ulic appeared to Anakin Skywalker on Thule. Ulic's spirit explained to the young Jedi how to destroy the device, a task that involved harnessing the Reaper's own energy without being corrupted by it. With Ulic's guidance, Anakin was able to destroy the Dark Reaper, ending the threat it posed to the rest of the galaxy. Darkstaff This ancient Sith artifact was believed to have been the cause of the disappearance of the planet Cularin, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Len Markus was observed removing something from the Cularin System's asteroid belt, an event which preceded the appearance of strange creatures hiding among the asteroids. Shortly afterward, the Cularin System disappeared for several years, before reappearing just as suddenly. According to ancient tomes unearthed on Almas, the Darkstaff was originally discovered by Darth Rivan, who had strange dreams about being called by the artifact. Rivan believed that it was the Darkstaff that drew him to Almas and the Cularin System, hoping to use him as a way to leave the system. Further investigation led Rivan to believe that the Darkstaff was not intentionally created, but was rather the byproduct of another experiment. Measuring a meter in length and four centimeters in diameter, the Darkstaff seemed to consume any light around it. It also consumed any Force energy around it, literally feeding on the Force. The Darkstaff, according to Rivan's dreams, had already caused some ancient tragedy in the Cularin System, and had been hidden away to prevent any further catastrophe. The nexus of dark side power, he believed, was the aftermath of this event. The Darkstaff wanted to be discovered by Rivan so that he could use it as a weapon against his enemies, so it invaded his dreams. Its release would allow the Darkstaff to gain power, both for itself and over Rivan, until it eventually consumed Rivan himself. Rivan, however, refused to go in search of the artifact, fearing that its release would cause great damage to the galaxy. Millennia later, Darth Rivan's writings were discovered by the Jedi Knights who built the Almas Academy. Word of the Darkstaff reached the ears of Len Markus, who set out to locate it. Many believe that Markus actually found the Darkstaff, and that its release from captivity was the cause of the disappearance of the entire Cularin System, shortly after the Battle of Naboo. Darth Bandon's Fiber Armour (Click For Picture) Despite the unfortunate fate of Darth Bandon, this light armour remains a desirable asset for any warrior. The silvery polish reflects a pride in craftsmanship rarely seen today. Additionally, Darth Bandon enhanced this armour through means of the Force so that the wearer is immune to mind-affecting Force powers. Darth Revan's Robes (Click For Picture) Created by the mystical technology of the Star Forge, these robes focus the dark side energies of the wearer, fueling their power. The Sith Lord Darth Revan was wearing these robes when captures by the Jedi, who viewed the garments as an abomination and destroyed them. However, the Jedi Council, not being familiar with the origin of the robes. were unaware that the Star Forge would be capable of producing an item of such terrible power a second time. Darth Vader’s Armour (Click For Picture) Darth Vader wears a unique set of dark armour. It is the equivalent of padded battle armour, imbued with dark side power through Sith alchemical techniques. The dark armour provides Vader with damage reduction, and it contains various life-support apparatus that maintains Vader’s breathing and shattered body. In addition to these attributes, the life-support system is irrigated with Sith-crafted chemicals that enhance Vader’s strength and constitution. The Dark Lord needs to regularly receive treatments of these chemicals in his specially designed meditation chambers (such as his personal sanctum aboard the Star Destroyer Executor). The Emperor has his dark side adepts prepare these chemicals for Vader, and he personally doles out a supply to his apprentice as he sees fit. Without his helmet, Vader’s life-support begins to fail. Without his armour, his strength and constitution immediately goes back to what it is without enhancement as the Sith chemical infusion stops flowing. Within his personal meditation chambers, however, Vader can remove his armour and find comfort within its pressurized, life-supporting shell as though he were still wearing his full suit of armour. Ensnarement Talisman Devices of this nature appear to function exactly as talismans of concentration - especially to a dark side wielder. This particular version, however, has one added ability: it can immediately turn the wielder to the dark side. Sith Magicians discovered that some Jedi had taken to using Sith talismans to serve the light side. To defeat this unintended use of their devices, the Sith constructed many with the power to instantley lure the unsuspecting Jedi to the dark side. This secondary function has fulfilled their goal, for use of Sith artifacts by Jedi Knights has been outlawed ever since. Only the most powerful of Masters could use these Talisman’s without danger. Exar Kun's Light Battle Suit (Click For Picture) Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun led a war of conquest against the Republic nearly fifty years before Darth Revan and Malak led a very different Sith force against the same foe -- and four millennia before the Galactic Civil War. Supposedly, he wore this suit of armor into battle against the Jedi, and that is how Suz Tanwa's Rodian ancestor described it. Whether or not Kun ever actually wore the armor, no one can say for sure. Whatever the case, it is certainly a priceless example of Old Republic design and can still offer ample, lightweight protection to the wearer. Force-users who wear this armor are granted a bonus in physical strength, but whenever they call upon the Force, they are more succeptable to the dark side. This succeptability is caused due to the fact that the armor is tainted in dark side energies from when it was in the posession of Exar Kun. This dark side taint also causes the user to slowly slip to the dark side every time he kills another being due to physical means, even if the action is in self defense, or might otherwise be justified as a "light side" action. Additionally, the armor has a cortosis-weave which makes it somewhat resistant to Lightsabers. Force Harvester This unusual piece of ancient technology was believed to have been lost on Raxus Prime many centuries before the Battle of Geonosis, and eventually buried under all the debris which littered the planet's surface. It was originally created during the time of the Great Sith War, as the power source for the weapon known as the Dark Reaper. The Harvester was designed to drain the energy of the Force from any living being, regardless of whether they were Force-sensitive or not. Around the time of the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku began a massive excavation effort to locate the Harvester. Unfortunately, the Jedi Knights and a task force of the Army of the Republic discovered Dooku's base of operations and bombarded it before the Harvester could be recovered. Force Mask The use of the Force sends ripples through the galaxy, alerting anyone able to perceive such subtle vibrations to the location and identity of the Force-wielder at the source (the amount of information regarding the emanation point of the ripples is based on the ability of the individual sensing the disturbance in the Force). The Sith learned quickly that this natural occurance allowed their movements to be tracked and their ambitions to be foiled by opposing forces, and they created devices called Force masks to hide such emanations. The mask essentially sends out anti-Force ripples that cancel the natural "waves" produced by the use of the Force. The area around the Force-wielder therefore appears dormant, devoid of any type of Force activity. Freedon Nadd's Blaster A vile weapon that once belonged to Freedon Nadd, this blaster has killed more Jedi than any Lightsaber. Freedon Nadd's Short Lightsaber This short Lightsaber once belonged to the powerful Sith Lord Freedon Nadd. Freedon Nadd trained with (and later destroyed) Naga Sadow's spirit amd brought the power of the dark side to Onderon. This Lightsaber reflects his power, and has been upgraded to be more dangerous than a regular Lightsaber. Healing Talisman During the Sith revolt led by Naga Sadow, many pureblood Sith devorees created talismans of healing to give their side the advantage during combat encounters. The devices quicken and increase the power of a corporeal being's natural healing processes at the expense of the wielder's ability to use the Force as well as they usually could for 10 hours. Heart of Graush Dathka Graush was a pureblooded Sith Dark Lord, a conqueror whose forces won one of Korriban's cyclical civil wars over seven millennia before the Battle of Yavin. Though assassins eventually ended the Graush dynasty after fifty years of bloodshed, the Sith Lord by then controlled two-thirds of the planet. Graush's reign was one of terror and cruelty even by Sith standards, and researchers at the Jedi Academy think they know why. Dathka Graush literally had no heart. Using Sith magic and the most advanced technology he could find, Graush replaced his own heart with a Force-sensitive crystal capable of keeping him alive (some said invincible). The crystal was of the same kind used to entomb defeated Jedi in other Sith crypts, but it held Dark Side spirits collected over thousands of years. No one is sure who made the Heart, but Graush put it to good use. When his mummified corpse was entombed in the Valley of Golg, the Heart was entombed with it. The Jedi have been unable to locate the artifact to this day, despite a thorough survey of Graush's tomb made at great risk to the surveyors. Anyone who touches the Heart of Graush will immediately have the spirit of Graush trying to possess them, and must try to fight against it. If the person fails, he or she becomes possessed by the spirit of Graush or another Sith Lord. That person is replaced by the possessing spirit until the gem is removed, after which the wearer is unconscious for anywhere between 1 and 12 hours. Ludo Kressh's Armband Ludo Kressh was a powerful Sith who opposed fellow Sith Lord Naga Sadow in the Great Hyperspace War. This protective armband bears traces to the Dark Lord's once great power by enhancing the wearer's strength slightly, although its power only affects those of the Dark Side. Ludo Kressh's War Sword Though most favour Lightsabers, some Sith prefer the more visceral feel of metal cutting flesh. These blades are usually blended with cortosis to protect against Lightsaber damage. This particular war sword once belonged to the dark Jedi Ludo Kressh. Marka Ragnos' Gauntlets (Click For Picture) Ancient but still intact, these gloves apear to be made of black scales (Personally, I think these are Orbalisks); they pulse with a dark power. Naga Sadow's Poison Blade (Click For Picture) The mere presence of Dark Lord Naga Sadow would come to imbue his personal weapons with the taint he carried, poisoned as his spirit was. Nihilus Mask (Click For Picture) This is a trophy from the remains of Darth Nihilus - it is the last surviving piece of the beast who died and was reborn in the shattered world of Malacor V. By simply holding this, you will gain a stronger tie to the Force. Oracle Stone (Click For Picture) The Oracle Stone is a special Dark Side artifact which was said to be in the possession of the Prophets of the Dark Side during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, though its origins are said to be from the time before the Great Hyperspace Wars between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic. The item's origins are known only to a few -- those chosen by the sphere -- and due to the nature of the Sphere only fragments of those origins have been recorded in some other medium. The chosen user of the Oracle Stone is often very reluctant to share any information regarding the artifact, but in a few cases some facts were gleaned and recorded by historians. The best account of the Oracle Stone's origins and methods of operation is under the carefully guarded eye of the Jedi. The Sphere appears to be a black orb roughly a half meter in diameter, made of obsidian or some similarly polished black stone. It seems solid, but when touched the surface ripples as though touching a still pond. Though solid, when gazed upon the artifact seems to swirl like a spiralling thunderstorm within the stone surface. The Oracle Stone does not seem to have any weight or mass, as it floats above the ground where designated by its current owner. Additionally, the owner may will the Sphere to attach itself to one place in space and stay there; not even the strongest being can budge it from that position, and it only moves again once its owner wills it to move from its resting place. It can be made to hover a certain distance away from its owner, moving as he moves, or it may be moved through the mental bond it shares with its owner. The Oracle Stone was crafted by unknown means by Sith sorcerers, but has since passed through many hands, not all of them belonging to the Sith. It was designed to function as a scrying device, as well as a bastion of forbidden knowledge. Its creation involved the sacrifice of several powerful priests and sorcerers, and their spirits, long sold to the Dark Side, were trapped within the orb's inky depths. The device was passed down the line of advisors to the Dark Lord of the Sith, until it was lost during the Sith invasion into Republic space. From there, it travelled the length and breadth of the galaxy, always latching onto the angry, the vicious, the cruel, and, of course, the Dark. The Oracle Stone chooses its next "owner" upon the previous owner's death. It bonds itself to the being permanently, creating a link between them that can only be broken by the complete redemption of the bonded being, which usually results in his or her death. This bonding gives the new owner an automatic Dark Side aura; however, a being cannot be bonded to the Oracle Stone unless he or she is willing to be bonded. The Sphere taps into the ebb and flow of the Dark Side to aid in scrying; characters who attempt to view far-off places and the events of past, present, and future find themselves swept up in the tide and witness their chosen targets more easily. They are also able to see and hear anything within the Sphere's range; the Sphere "sees" in all directions at once, as though it was covered in eyes. Additionally, the Sphere holds many pieces of knowledge unavailable by normal means, revealing its secrets at only an incredible cost. Essentially, the Oracle Stone acts as a magnifier to the Farseeing Force power, and was the perfect tool for evil Prophets and advisors. Despite its benefits, the Oracle Stone is often a demanding master as well. As the artifact is used more and more often, it will begin to refuse to function properly unless the character bonded to it carries out its will. This could be anything as simple as performing a Dark Side ritual to something as extreme as committing heinous acts like genocide. The Oracle Stone is a great boon to any who are enveloped in the Dark Side, but it helps drawn any who use it down a spiral into the darkest depths of evil. Orbalisk Armor (Click For Picture) Many Sith warriors chose to use orbalisks to create a kind of living armor which grew as the orbalisk reproduced. The individual orbalisks had to be removed, or the being would be covered and consumed by the orbalisk family. However, once a stable, symbiotic relationship was established, the orbalisk armor actually helped heal wounds which its host suffered. Scepter of Ragnos (Click For Picture) This ancient Sith sceptre was constructed by Sith magicians thousands of years ago for purposes unknown. It was only ever seen in the galaxy at large in the hands of the Cult of Ragnos. It had the unique ability of being able to draw the Force out of anything, including nexus's of the Force, and storing it in itself. To gain the Force, it shoots out a yellowish beam at the target, which will slowly drain the Force out of whatever it hits and into the sceptre. If this beam hits a sentient being then it will knock them out unless they are very strong in the Force and are able to resist it. This raw Force power can then be used for 2 things. Firstly, and most commonly, it can be used to give non Force-users the same control of the Force as a fully trained Sith or Jedi would have. Secondly, it can be used to bring back dead Dark Side Spirits as long as you have their original physical body. To do this it both heals the original body upto a state to allow it to live again, and then it fully integrates the Dark Side Spirit back in with it's original body. Unfortunately, both of these abilities are completely dependant on the sceptre not being destroyed, for if it is destroyed then both of the above abilities are reversed, the dead will return to their original state, and the Force-users will have their control of the Force taken away. The final ability of the sceptre itself is the ability to create a sonic boom when hit off of solid objects at a great intensity, knocking anything it hits and possibley doing damage to what it hits also. The hilt of the sceptre is actually the hilt of a hidden Sith sword which, when pulled out of the sceptre it is hidden in, will start to pulse with red lightning, doing great damage to anything it hits. Both the sword and sceptre are made by Sith alchemy and, as such, can withstand any Lightsaber hits done to them without taking any damage. Unfortunately for the Cult of Ragnos, this sceptre was destroyed by the newly trained Jedi Knight Jaden after a tense battle with the leader of the Cult, Tavion, who was possessed by the spirit of Marka Ragnos in Ragnos's tomb. The remains of the sceptre were then lost in the tomb when its entrance was destroyed, burrying it forever. Saalo Morn’s Helm A thousand years after Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma waged the Sith War against the Old Republic, a would-be Sith fanatic named Saalo Morn failed his training as a Force adept. Embracing the dark side, Saalo Morn stole his master’s most valued possession, a helmet imbued with the power of the Force, and fled to an isolated but primitive world. Since his death on the planet, this helm has been all that holds him to the corporeal world, and so if it were destroyed his spirit would be destroyed utterly. Whenever a Force-user dons the helm, it enables Saalo Morn to be able to attempt possessing them, and he can do this once every minute until he succeeds or the Force-user takes the helm off. All Morn wants is to bring back this Sith, and he would be happy doing this either by possessing a powerful dark sider, or teaching them if he did not think he could possess them. The helm itself provides any Force-user who wears it with enhanced Force powers, the only downside being the possibility of Morn possessing the wearer. It is theorized, however, that a Force-user may be able to use the power of the Force itself to cleanse the helm of Morn’s spirit. Shield Talisman The Sith shield talisman was one of the first dark side devices discovered and catalogued by the Jedi. The talisman protects its wearer (it usually takes the form of an amulet, necklace, or torque) from energy (from lightning to pulse-waves to lasers) and Force attacks. Research suggests that the device works by absorbing the energy directed at it and storing it for its own source of fuel. To retain its ability to function, however, the talisman requires and infusion of energy at least once per standard week. Sith Abattar This Sith amulet consists of a thin silver chain adorned with six dagger-shaped wedges of an unknown metal. Designed to be worn around the neck, the amulet is inexplicably heavy - nearly 8 kilograms. Force-users who don the abattar suddenly find themselves able to speak and understand any language, though the strain of the experience drains the user slowly. Force-users who are proficient in the Alter aspect of the Force can focus the babbling energies of the abattar into a destructive blast with a range of 20 meters. Sith Amulets (Click For Picture) In the long forgotten time when the Sith were a mighty race of magicians, a time when the Sith people were being driven to extinction by the Jedi Knights and the armies of the Galactic Republic. A time when Sith magic learned how to construct amulets to carry a message down through the centuries... a message from their reigning Dark Lord of the Sith. These artifacts were used to bring Exar Kun and Ulic Qel Droma into contact, thus ensuring that the Sith would live on forever. Sith Amulets come in a variety of descriptions. Many are stones set into the back of a fingerless glove. This glove is further attached by a chain to a shoulder piece which straps to the shoulder and upper back and is further adorned with jewels. These can be imbued with any number of powers as seen in the illustrated books. One type of crystal has been seen as a spirit catcher. Some Dark Lords used these to escape final death by putting their spirit inside these. They later appeared and corrupted unwitting pawns. These have also been used to trap one's enemies. Inside these crystals, the enemies are helpless, unable to use their Force abilities. Exar Kun used an amulet to focus in rage into a blast of engery, at one point nearly killing him in the process as he was unable to control the effects and the shear amounts of energy flowing through him. Amulets such as these have shown to possess the ability to create visual images of memories that the wielder has experienced. Others were used as communications units between members of the Sith. They could pass the thoughts of two Sith over great distances and would not be dampened by comm blackouts. Still others were amplifiers of Sith magic. They focus the dark side into great bursts. Aleema used one to remove the heart of a star and throw it at a Jedi fleet. This caused the star to go supernova. Recently, Draven has been using one of these to 'slip' in and out of the Force to use the Aing-Tii methods without losing his Sith abilities. One would think that if one of these crystals could amplify Force powers, one could also be used to limit Force powers. Sith Holocron (Click For Picture) Many such information storage and retrieval devices exist in the galaxy. Each holocron provides a visual and vocal way to retrieve the information stored inside. The Sith Holocron can be differentiated from the Dark Holocron, used to store the information of other Dark Jedi, by its shape. The Sith Holocron is a translucent pyramid shape, small enough to fit in the palm on the hand. Each holocron has a gatekeeper, a Jedi who is in possession of the holocron and through whose image the stories of the holocron are told. A holocron is a powerful and informative tool which can only be activated by a person controlling the force. Each Sith Holocron also contained the souls of many Sith warriors, who were trapped within it until it was broken. It is not known why the Sith did this, perhaps it was out of pure spite, but when the Holocron is smashed the spirits are released and free to do as they will. It is then possible for them to possess other beings if they choose to, completely taking over the hosts body, though it is possible for the strongest of Force users to resist this. Other spirits will simply be happy for their release, and gladly disappear into the sky to fade away into nothingness. Sith Lanvarok (Click For Picture) This wrist-worn weapon was used by the ancient Sith warriors. It was extremely complicated to use, and favors those users who are left-handed because of its configuration. The firing mechanism was mounted on the left side of the weapon, with the firing stud in a position to be pushed by the left thumb. The Sith lanvarok was originally developed as a hunting weapon, and fired a spread of thin, razor-edged disks at its target. It was time-consuming to reload, but deadly accurate at short range. Sith Mask (Click For Picture) This mask blocks outside mental influence and other sensory noise, allowing the user to focus their abilities inward with no distraction. Sith Poison Among the secrets revealed by dabbling in Sith alchemy is the formula for Sith poison. This toxin is more accurately described as a disease, however, because once in the system of a Force-using being, it remains there, gradually weakening the character's resistance to the dark side of the Force. Sith poison is introduced into the victim's system either by ingestion or injury.Thereafter, the poison feeds the character's anger, drawing him closer to the dark side. Whenever the poisoned individual uses the Force, he is succeptable to succumbing to anger and call upon the dak side. Overcoming the poison is a lengthy process. Each time the character uses the Force, he must attempt to fight the anger and rage. If he is successful at least five times, the poison is forced from the character's system. Medical supplies cannot heal a person of this particular poison. Only Heal Another or Heal Self can alleviate the character's suffering and drive the toxin out. This will, however, only alleviate the draw of the dark side, the Force-user must still fight against it on his own. Sith poison is extremely rare and can only be created by a skilled Alchemist. Upon creating this poison, the Alchemist is immediately drawn further into the dark side. Sith Power Gauntlets Based on stolen Eriadu designs, items of this type utilize almost uncomfortable bursts of repulsorlift energy to assist movement. They are rarely seen outside of Sith possession. Sith Sarcophagus (Click For Picture) Sith burial chambers can take on many forms. The most common form is a humanoid-shaped sarcophagus. While these typically contain the physical remains of a Sith sorcerer, they can also be the final resting place of the spirit as well. One example is the tomb of Freedon Nadd on Dxun, the beast moon of Onderon. Though the sarcophagus is typically the center of a Sith burial chamber, the entire tomb oozes dark side energy. The result is often felt by the surrounding flora and fauna, which mutates over time. Unless a Force user is strong enough in the Force to sense the darkness of the tomb within 10 meters, they sense nothing other than the nagging feeling that they should watch their back. Often the sarcophagus is a source of power for a dark side spirit. Disturbing a dark side spirit's sarcophagus will automatically transport it to the tomb. The sarcophagus emanates the strong waves of dark side energy when the dark side sprit is within 10 meters. Force-sensitive people within 10 meters must have a strong enough mind to resist the waves or succumb to feelings of anger, fear, aggression, and the like. If that person attempts to call on the Force within the next 24 hours, they automatically call on the dark side. If a person somehow finds themselves lying in the sarcophagus for any amount of time - even against their wishes - they must attempt to stop the dark side spirit from entering their body. If they fail in this endevour, it results in the dark side spirit possessing their body. Dark side spirits may instruct worshipers to find the perfect specimen to possess, use the Illusion Force power to trick them into lying in his sarcophagus for a peaceful nap, or make promises of great power inside. Transferring the essence of a living being into a sarcophagus requires one be custom built. The materials to do so cost roughly 200,000 credits. The Force user making it must also be able to perform Sith Alchemy to a quite advanced degree and there must be another living being to sacrifice to complete the transfer. To complete the process, the being getting transferred must know how to perform the Transfer Essence Force power. Each being that is sacrificed willingly for this process will make the transfer easier. Sith Scrolls (Click For Picture) Only two such scrolls are known to have been recovered. These two scrolls, discovered by Exar Kun in the tomb of Freedon Nadd, are detailed navigational instructions on how to get to Korriban, the final resting place of the Dark Lords of the Sith. Its location has remained hidden for many centuries. Sith Spear (Click For Picture) The main weapon used by the Sith warriors in battle were spears. Sith spears had a wooden shaft and a metal blade. The blade was usually jaggedly cut, as opposed to the smooth triangular blade of Republic soldiers. This jagged cut allowed the wielder of the spear to tear flesh and draw more blood as they inflicted the injury, thus almost insuring the victim's painful death due to extreme blood loss. Sith Sword (Click For Picture) A strong weapon first bestowed on Aleema and Satal Keto by Freedon Nadd. Not to be confused with the lightsaber. These dark and deadly weapons can withstand any punishment. Made indestructible by sorcery, their blades can even parry lightsabers! These weapons have survived the millenium with sharp edges and straight blades. Sith Torture Mask (Click For Picture) This ancient Sith mask was developed to completely cover a being's head, allowing only the eyes to see what was happening. The Sith placed the mask on their prisoners and captives, especially the Jedi Knights, in order to break them for questioning. The mask itself was unremarkable to behold, but was imbued with intense Dark Side energy, which made it impossible for a Jedi Knight wearing the mask to concentrate on using the Force for little more than basic survival. Sith Tremor Sword (Click For Picture) Traced to the Bladeborn, a Sith offshot dedicated to sword mastery, these cortosis-laced weapons were given to "masterblades" who survived no less than ten Lightsaber-wielding warriors in combat. Sith War Sword Though most favour Lightsabers, some Sith prefer the more visceral feel of metal cutting flesh. These blades are usually blended with cortosis to protect against Lightsaber damage. The Book of Anger Palpatine knew from his own experience with Sith teachings that the best way to unlock the dark side potential in a Force-wielding student was through the student’s rage. The Book of Anger outlined this proposal in an intruiging and perhaps even logical fashion, asserting that by exploring one’s anger, one could ultimately learn to conquer it, thus taming the power of the dark side – instead of being tamed by it. The Emperor wrote: “Many claim to have found serenity, and through serenity to have overcome anger. Such arrogance is astounding. These fools have never faced their anger, and thus have no idea whether they have truly overcome it or not. True calm is only achieved through testing the limit of one’s anger and passing through unscathed. The capacity for this ability lies within everyone, though most fear to test their own strength, and are thus considered at best weaklings, and at worst irresponsible.” While sophisticated readers may find the Emperor’s goading diatribes on the subject of anger transparent, less experienced individuals may find themselves agreeing with its conclusions. The first volume of the Dark Side Compendium, this work was derived from several sources: fallen Jedi, the Jedi Holocron he stole from Ashka Boda, and the collected works of primitive magicians. Much of the volume's writing centered on the merger of political theory with Sith doctrine. The Creation of Monsters Emperor Palpatine perished before he could complete this volume on the ancient art of Sith alchemy, but it is complete enough for most purposes. The Creation of Monsters provides not only detailed schematics for Sith alchemical apparati, but guidelines and advice on how to avoid the pitfalls of tinkering with the physical compositions of living, independent creatures. The Emperor wrote: “Conquer temptation to create specimens that are superior in every way. The danger of such monstrosities being turned against you is too great. Instead, focus on instituting controlling weaknesses into each and every beast you construct. Make it strong where you are weak, but weak where you are strong. It must have a fatal flaw that you – and only you – know how to exploit. And always, without fail, be prepared to destroy your most valued creation…or be prepared to be destroyed by it.” This is the third volume of Emperor Palpatine's Dark Side Compendium. The Weakness of Inferiors In addition to attempting to lure the unwary with his views on using strong emotions, the Emperor sought to indoctrinate future darksiders with his own vision of the “natural order” - the superiority of the gifted, the trained, and the powerful. In typical fashion, he called this discussion The Weakness of Inferiors, a book devoted entirely to another insidious perspective on how “those of great strength” must guide “those of low capability” through life, by whatever means necessary. The Emperor wrote: “Inferiors continually endanger their own lives and end the lives of others through poor decision, reckless behaviour, and simple inability to engineer the reality of their ambitious dreams. They are like children, crying in frustration because they do not comprehend their own limitations. These weaklings need structure – to be shown their place in the existing social structure. It is left to the wise and powerful to provide that structure in order for civilization to survive and thrive in the galaxy. Those who cannot – or will not – accept that peace and order are far more important than their own selfish desires must be removed from society before they can inflict any lasting damage.” This sort of thinking laid the foundation for the Empire, and the Emperor hoped to lay the groundwork for future empires, modelled on his own. The Weakness of Inferiors suggests that by reading the book, the reader has somehow been made custodian of galactic civilization, and that by applying the Emperor’s teachings the reader can bring peace and order to the galaxy. Most sentient beings would agree that peace and order are necessary – but they might not recognize the arrogance of imposing their own vision of “peace and order” on others. The second volume of Emperor Palpatine's Dark Side Compendium, this work was completely created from Palpatine's twisted mind. Translation Talisman (Click For Picture) The tomes containing Sith teachings, lore, and Force techniques were written in the Sith's ancient language which has all but died out since the destruction of the species. Very few scholars can decipher the strange language, and even fewer have learned to pronounce its complex word structures. This talisman, initially designed and created by the fallen Jedi who sought to learn of the Sith's secret techniques, allows the wearer to read the Sith language as if it were his own native tongue. Tulak Hord's Mask (Click For Picture) This ancient mask, blackened with age, has an eerie glow and seems uncomfortably claustrophobic. Ulic Qel Droma's Mesh Suit After killing his brother during the Exar Kun war, Ulic Qel Droma abandoned this armor and all the trappings of his service to the dark side. It's a powerful, if tainted, item. |
