Description:
The infamous sith lord exar kun had no relations with the true sith empire, but his fall to the dark side set the stage for the mandalorian wars and the eventual fall of revan and malak.As a young jedi knight, exar kun exhibited a strong connection to the force. Through long practice, he achieved unparalleled prowess in light saber combat.Seeking to expand his knowledge as well, the young jedi delved deeper into his studies of the force and ignored his masters' cautions, believing himself immune to the draw of the dark side.The jedi council grew concerned, observing that exar kun's thirst for knowledge was starting to resemble a thirst for power.But he was already beyond their reach.Traveling to the onderon system, kun encountered the spirit of the ancient sith lord freedon nadd.The spirit directed the young jedi to where he might find the powerful secrets he sought.Venturing into the sith mausoleums on korriban, kun faced tests from the fallen sith lords.When he emerged, he had passed the point of no return.His fall to the dark side was inevitable. To complete his indoctrination, exar kun journeyed to yavin-four. There, like others who came before and after, he encountered the fearsome massassi warriors created by naga sadow.The massassi captured exar kun and offered him as a sacrifice to an ancient sith wyrm. Facing death, kun fully embraced the dark side, and channeled his hatred to kill the wyrm. Empowered, the young sith lord then enslaved the massassi and recovered an ancient sith battleship abandoned centuries earlier by naga sadow.However, ruling yavin-four was not enough.Seeking to establish himself as the undisputed dark lord of the sith, exar kun attacked the krath cult of the empress teta system.Among the krath, exar kun came face-to-face with another fallen jedi whose strength matched his own—ulic qel--droma. Qel-droma had fully embraced the dark side after unsuccessfully trying to infiltrate the krath and dismantle their cult from within.After a long battle and a lengthy duel, qel-droma and exar kun joined forces: exar kun as the undisputed dark lord of the sith; qel-droma as his apprentice.After a long and lengthy duel, qel-droma and exar kun joined forces: exar kun as the undisputed dark lord of the sith; qel-droma as his apprentice. Their armies—krath and massassi—combined to form the infamous 'brotherhood of the sith'. The brotherhood then waged a ruthless war against the republic and the jedi.After winning several battles, the sith attacked the jedi library on ossus. There, exar kun slew his former master, and qel-droma struck down his own brother. Ossus was destroyed in the battle. The sith were victorious, but their triumph was short-lived.Remorseful for killing his brother, qel-droma abandoned the dark side and betrayed exar kun.The republic drove kun back to yavin-four, where the dark lord enacted a ritual, sacrificing his armies to keep his spirit alive.Though unable to defeat him entirely, the jedi were able to imprison exar kun's spirit in the temples on yavin-four. From what we know, it remains there to this day.We can learn much from exar kun's story. Of greatest interest is simply the fact that he was not aligned with the sith emperor in exile on dromund kaas.The fact that the spirits of the ancient sith lords supported exar kun suggests that they did not, and perhaps do not, support the sith emperor we face today.We have very little information about the emperor or his efforts to rebuild his empire in exile.I will review the details we do have in my next report.
