A Shadow’s Tale

Anduriel Geran was close to learning the truth behind the veil of Sith silence and secrecy.

After a lifetime spent studying the history and culture of his enemy seeking potential flaws and weaknesses that he could exploit, the Shadow had discovered that history of the Sith was incomplete.

Someone or something had deliberately edited out entire events and individuals from not only the Jedi Archives, but from the collected histories and data-banks of every known civilized world. Neither Anduriel, nor the small circle of Shadows with whom he had shared the discovery with knew what was missing, but the fact that the historical records were incomplete was an absolute certainty.

It had begun with the events on Odacer-Faustin. Captured while attempting to get a long distance reading of the ancient Sith Academy, Anduriel was made a test subject for Darth Scaberous. After six long months of imprisonment and torture, the Jedi managed to escape with the help of a bounty hunter and a redeemed Zabrak Sith apprentice named Quodis. While he would never understand why they ultimately chose to sacrifice their lives for his liberty, from that day onward Anduriel Geran had dedicated himself to the cause of relentlessly hunting down any Sith that came across his path.

Today must be my lucky day.


Silently slicing effortlessly through the security lock on a heavily reinforced control room door, the Jedi Shadow crept into the room and gazed at the helpless Sith target before him.

Gently placing his worn and notched lightsaber hilt to the back of his target’s head, Anduriel turned the power on.


Fzzzzzzt.

Moving his head closer to the smoking hole created by his blade, Anduriel leaned in and whispered,

“That was for Marcus.”

Visions from The Sanctum Descending into the smoky atmosphere of Nar-Shaddaa, your ship navigates a path through the complex airways of the vertical cities as it approached its destination. Arriving without incident to one of the many private hangers at the complex known only as the Sanctum, you exit your ship and survey your surroundings. Owned by a shady Devaronian by the name of Gelroos Setanu, the Sanctum is a virtual entertainment facility that doubles as an intergalactic information network and black market auction house that serves both Republican and Imperial forces without bias. The design of the Sanctum is a testament to the ingenuity of a truly paranoid mind. Each private docking bay on the lower levels of the complex connects directly to a security check point monitored by unseen force sensitive guards. Other than the owner who almost never makes a personal appearance, the only employees you see are the ubiquitous protocol and security droids which roam the hallways of the public areas. After passing through security, you are escorted to your very own secured and heavily reinforced private control booth where you may select and customize a personal holographic avatar to navigate the clubs virtual interior with. Each control booth is equipped with a state of the art entertainment system and access to hundreds of games of chance like pazaak and virtual swoop racing track. The special in-house vacuum tube vice delivery system guarantees that you can enjoy your illicit activities in the privacy of your personal control booth. Suspended from the ceiling by a strange mixture of wiring and organic material, the Foundation manufactured avatar control harness fits all sizes and races. Linked to a sensory node, it has the capability of reproducing a completely lifelike experience that has been known to fool even the most disciplined of minds. Once inside it, your digital likeness obtains the complete freedom to roam and explore the facility’s multiple virtual environments like the cantina, club, casino, arena, or black market. At any one time, there are hundreds if not thousands of users and avatars wandering throughout the various levels of the Sanctum involved in a wide variety of vices and activities.

It is ten years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant and once more the galaxy teeters on the brink of total war. The tenuous pact between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire has begun to dissolve as great armies prepare to mobilise on both sides, whilst renegade factions fight endlessly to defy the peace enforced upon them. The Galactic Cold War has begun to thaw. Yet in the darkness the Silent Council has waited patiently, only recently emerging from centuries of slumber. An ancient organisation as old as the Sith Emperor himself, the Council has returned to take its place in the galaxy and mould events for its own nefarious purpose. But the Council’s ambition knows no bounds, for the Voice of the Council, Darth Panopticus himself has declared a hunt for new initiates to greatly increase their numbers. Now the Council seeks the strongest and most cunning candidates from all across the galaxy. The dawning of a new chapter is close at hand. The Third Founding awaits. (Click Image to Learn More)

Jedi Master Ven Zallow Status: Deceased As he lay dying, the Sith Lord Malgus told him how the Jedi Order had been deceived, and that the Republic would fall as a result. Zallow’s last sight was that of Coruscant’s Temple Precinct in flames, with scores of Sith starfighters, warships, and ground forces continuing the attack on the capital world, a battle that would culminate with the death of the Republic’s Supreme Chancellor and the destruction of the Temple itself.

The Battlemaster - Darth HasturBackground Stories:Click to read Battlemaster: A tale of the Silent CouncilClick to read The Trouble with Terentateks Timeline:1497 BTC – Born on a fledgling colony in the outer reaches of the Sith Empire, Hastur lived a life of hardship enforced upon him by a tragic loss of favour that saw his family’s influence deflated to nothing, and their lives taken in payment for their growing debts.1483 BTC – Growing to adulthood, Hastur found himself at the centre of a trade feud between the ruling factions of the colony world. Fuelled by a growing rage and need for revenge he instigated a riot that caused the deaths of several of the ruling elites, one of which was a Dark Jedi caught unawares.1481 BTC – After two years of confinement Hastur was given over to the Blood Ring, a gladiatorial arena owned by the very same man responsible for the deaths of his parents and the hardships of his childhood. Vowing to take his revenge, Hastur allowed his hatred to fuel him, climbing the ranks to become the champion of the Blood Ring.1477 BTC – Now the most feared gladiator on the entire colony, and having defeated numerous extra terrestrial competitors, Hastur won prestige and the chance to enact his bloody vengeance. Unfortunately fate had decided to rob him of his victory as he found his quarry dead at the hands of a Sith Assassin. Seeing the power of the young pureblood’s rage the assassin delivered him to Ziost where he was enslaved. Hastur’s master made the error of judgement of bringing his newfound slave before the future Dark Lord of the Sith, Marka Ragnos who immediately saw Hastur’s potential and allowed him to break free and slay his master.1476 BTC – Hastur underwent secret training as a Ragnos’ apprentice, learning the basics much slower than most because of his age. It would be many years before he was deemed ready to stand in the sight of the glorious being that had freed him from a life of slavery. What Hastur had lost in years of training he made up for in sheer force of will, proving himself on combat missions to be a powerhouse of pure rage.1457 – Hastur was given the status of Sith Lord. At some point shortly before his ‘fall’, Lord Simus discovered Hastur’s existence and decided to take action against him before Simus began to openly make his move on his rival. To this end his apprentice Darth Panopticus was sent to bring about his assassination. For reasons known only to the two this order was never carried through, and instead Panopticus helped Hastur to fake his death, thus saving both of them from the retribution of Lord Simus.1439 BTC – After being approached by Darth Panopticus who warns him of the Great Hyperspace war, and a prophecy of the downfall of the Sith Empire, Hastur aids his honour brother in founding the Silent Council. Darth Hastur dons the title of Battlemaster and uses his rage for constructive purposes, forging armour for the future army that he will lead.1413 BTC – Hastur becomes the first member of the Silent Council to lock his will within a Resurrection Holocron. With Hastur’s sacrifice the Resurrection Holocrons are perfected and the council of the Silent is finally ready to begin their silent vigil.1412 BTC – Hastur successfully re-emerges from the Resurrection Holocron. The experiment is deemed a success but a change is noted in Hastur’s personality. This is decided to be a glitch of the original holocron and is fixed in time for the final sacrifice to be made.1346 BTC – Following the failure of the Great Hyperspace War Hastur becomes increasingly distant and searches the decimated remnants of the Sith Empire for useful weapons to hoard for the Silent Council’s use in the years to come. This search takes him to the far reaches of the galaxy and occupies him for many years.1251 BTC – Darth Hastur disappears from the galaxy once more. His whereabouts unknown, and all trace of his existence wiped from memory.8 BTC – A pureblood Sith in training awakes to nightmares of blood and ruin from an age that passed many hundreds of years ago.
