defy the tyrannous stars
One Sith Remnant
It is said that causes never truly die, and while the Core Worlds are much more secure these past few years, the One Sith Empire was a massive galactic institution, one that has proven remarkably resilient despite the Alliance's long crusade of eradication.
A dark time for these fanatical Sith Imperial holdouts, with the destruction of Castameer and the Omega superweapon went much of their manpower and infrastructure. At first scattered, remaining loyalist elements eventually regrouped in the Anaxes system, until after a prolonged siege their leadership was forced to retreat into hiding on Anaxes' sister world, Axum.
Now the system remains a warzone, and while the fleet yards are relatively secure, there is fierce guerilla fighting between Remnant forces and the Garde d'Azure. On the ragged edge of survival, all hope seemed truly lost for their movement until the attack on Thyferra brought with it their first recruitment spike in years.
Leader(s):
- The Dark Council
A pale shadow of its former glory, these days the Council is made up of ideologues and statesmen, most of them barely even borderline sensitive. A few apprentices from the old regime remain, survivors who have clung onto positions of growing power and influence within a crumbling regime.
This cult of seniority fancies themselves in total control, but in reality while decorum is still for the most part observed the Council serves more often as advisors to their remaining allied military commanders as well as logistical overseers. Currently in hiding somewhere on Axum, location unknown.
- Grand Admiral Dennon Kyle (Human Male Warlord)
All that remains of what was once the sovereign Anaxes High Council, self appointed Grand Admiral Kyle escaped the Anaxes system shortly before the downfall of his military junta.
Now at large somewhere in the Colonies with what remains of those military assets under the Remnant's direct command. As the highest ranking survivor and only flag officer remaining of the One Sith's Vanguard, Kyle now functions much the same as a Sith Imperial warlord, staging hit and run assaults on naval installations all along the Alliance's northern border.
- Warmaster Nei Shai (Yuuzhan Vong Female Warlord)
With the fall of Coruscant and the disappearances or deaths of many One Sith Masters, those who remained lost the support of the vast majority of their Yuuzhang Vong allies. If it had not been for Nei Shai, the Remnant would have lost them all.
Loyal to the Dark Council only because of the wealth they muscled out of Aargau before the Alliance came, Warmaster Shai promises her people a prophesied resurgence, all the while engaging in brutal space piracy and the occasional surface raid such as the assaults on Velga and Lujo for the sake of morale.
- Tyus Pirate Court
One of the most savage and well organized pirate cartels operating within Alliance space, SIS reports place their shadowport somewhere near the Tyus Cluster. It is likely this court of pirate lords meets at a safe location somewhere in uncharted space where black hole interference makes tracking dangerous and difficult.
In no way loyal to the One Sith cause, the Tyus pirate lords are very loyal to their contracts, and for as long as the Dark Council's Aargau war chest lasts this means they will continue to directly target Defense Fleet forces in addition to their usual nefarious activities.
