The holonet recording would be broadcast across the galaxy - to covens on planets not yet conquered, to the offices of intelligence agencies, and to Sith be they hidden or open in their worship. It would show a scene of Korriban, Dresdae at the under-construction Grand Pyramid of the Sith'ari; the place which the Worm Emperor is often believed to stay. A crowd in holy black garb mumble among one another as the Praetorian Guard walk to the balcony and glance over the collected congregation. After a moment, a massive figure - in black robes and multiple gold masks would step out and look with empty eyes upon the consecrated crowd. His words were unaffected by magnification technology, simply booming between the buildings and people gathered - many of their heads lowering as they quietly began to pray.
"Children of the Force.", his voice offered as the cloak shifted slightly in the wind.
"Those who have freed themselves. Witnessed truth and let it break their chains; you bear witness to the future. The Sith Empire, who has crushed a thousand beneath its boots now falls to the combined efforts of a thousand more - a five nation army led by the omnipotence of the Force. Even now, their fleets struggle to maintain the Thule Corridor; and more demand land from them by the second. Yet many question the Dark Council about why we do not intervene; to cut away the holy worlds in their moment of weakness.", the Worm said with an indifferent stillness to his form."Children of the Force.", his voice offered as the cloak shifted slightly in the wind.
"There is only one reason - to fight another Sith and best them is only Sith when it is done when they are strong."
"For too long groups like the Maw and Warlord Triumvirate spit heretical vitriol without understanding the very ancestral foundations of the Sith Order. They insult the Legacy of Darth Bane by misquoting the Great Saint - understanding his words on the surface, but not in their true immaculate depth. Often have I heard the ilk of the Sith repeat the words “The power of the dark side is strongest if it is concentrated in one vessel. Not spread out among many.” - yet none who pretend to live by its doctrine, who wear it like jewelry can be trusted to interpret it."
"Long have they forgot the strength of Tulak Hord, Valkorian, Naga Sadow; all who lived in a time when there were Sith in plenty. They take his words literally and ignore the evidence that shows they are misguided - because for them, it is not about the true understanding of the Dark Side, but the superiority of rhetoric - of appearances. They seek the death of many Sith, not the correction of the Order - declaring themselves God like Kascalion, or Dark Lord like Solipsis; then prove their strength by striking children."
"From the controversial, we quote Darth Revan. 'Those who accept the power of the dark side must also accept the challenge of holding on to it. By its very nature the dark side invites rivalry and strife. This is the greatest strength of the Sith: it culls the weak from our order. Yet this rivalry can also be our greatest weakness. The strong must be careful lest they be overwhelmed by the ambitions of those working beneath them in concert.'; and it is what we bear witness to now. The Maw and Warlords find strength not in what they can hold with their own hands but what they can scavenge like Vultures."
"Vultures who decree themselves the greatest among the Sith - who retreated from the might of the New Imperial Order, the Galactic Alliance, the Silver Jedi Concord. A thousand enemies, and they cut from the weakest among them; as though it is a true showing of their might. There is no respect to be had for Sith to break the pillar of the New Order - no peace for the scavengers and corpse eaters. They grind their swords on the bones of the fallen and decree their blades sharp - but for the true Sith of the galaxy, we know them for who they are."
"Cowards and malcontents feeding on blood they did not earn, siding with the enemy, and declaring grandiose ideals without understanding the very minimum of what it is to be of the Dark. Understand them for who they are - the weakness. The ever cancerous growth of our Order - who disregard the Rule of Order as heresy but now practice a style of their own."
"Never substitute the appearance of strength for true strength."
"And that is the lesson today, my children. Go out and bear witness, cut your teeth on the enemy no matter who you fight - but fight them when they are strong, not when they are weak."
