• Modularity: Yes (System may be scaled in size or capacity and integrated into varying reactor frameworks; core mechanism remains fixed)
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron
  • Bloodsteel Conduits
  • Sith Rune Capacitor Arrays
  • Psychoreactive Crystals
  • Ritual Binding Circuits

• Pain-Energy Conversion Matrix: Converts agony and death from battle or ritual chambers into usable energy for ship systems.
• Death-Tether Array: Maintains energy flow by siphoning latent death echoes or spirits tied to the battlefield.
• Dark Resonance Circuit: Amplifies energy output through ambient suffering and sacrificial rites.
• Sith Ritual Integration: Fully compatible with Force rituals, alchemical devices, and sacrificial interfaces.

• Dark Side Power Source: Generates power through death, pain, and ritual sacrifice rather than conventional fuel sources.
• Ritual-Linked Surge: Can channel immense temporary boosts when paired with onboard Sith rituals or mass sacrifice.
• Battlefield Amplifier: Grows more efficient as surrounding violence and destruction increase, ideal for prolonged engagements.

• Morbid Dependency: Requires suffering or death to function optimally—without a source of pain, power output drops.
• Force Nullification: Voidstone interference or Force-dead zones suppress the metaphysical energy transfer, reducing the relay to baseline output.
• Corruption Hazard: Prolonged exposure can degrade nearby crew psychologically, inducing hallucinations or madness.

The Sacrifice-Fed Relay is one of the most grotesque innovations in the Kainate arsenal, born from the sinister genius of Darth Prazutis and realized by the autonomous brilliance of the Shadow Mind. Installed only aboard elite Kainate dreadnoughts and warships, this system rejects the mundane limitations of fuel and fusion. It feeds on agony. It thrives on death.

Housed deep within the ship's core, the relay is tied to chambers of pain, execution altars, and psychic resonators. Every cry of suffering, every soul extinguished in ritual, is converted into raw, usable power. The energy is then rerouted to fuel the ship's most demanding systems, Catastrophe Arrays, Painwave Emitters, Shielding fields, and more, anywhere that the demand is highest, allowing them to operate at horrific efficiency. Its energy can be used to boost functioning systems.

Though brutally effective, the system is not without risk. In the absence of violence or sacrifice, it begins to starve. Without shielding, nearby crew may suffer spiritual degradation or mental collapse. But aboard the warships of the Kainate, such dangers are simply…acceptable losses, for weakness does not exist.

Where this relay beats, the Force itself screams. And every pulse brings the galaxy closer to submission.

  • The Kainate
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: Dark Core Reactor Mk. I
• Modularity: Yes (The bled kyber crystal can be replaced or retuned; housing and amplification matrix can be adapted for different ship sizes.)
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron
  • Bled Kyber Crystal Core
  • Dark Energetic Components
  • Sacrificial Binding Circuits

• Dark-Side Fusion: Channels the raw hatred and power of a bled kyber crystal to generate immense energy. The crystal pulses with wrath, feeding off the malice around it to increase output in battle conditions.
• Pain-Echo Circuitry: Converts ambient pain, fear, or psychic disturbance into supplemental energy. This allows the reactor to grow stronger the more chaos and suffering surrounds the ship.
• Metaphysical Conduit Array: Powers not only ship systems but also Force-based or alchemized systems. It acts as a dark-side capacitor, keeping sorcerous systems charged even under intense suppression.
• Kyber Core Recalibration: Crystal can be periodically retuned to match user intent, amplifying resonance. This process can be done ritually to align with a Dark Lord's will, making the system feel like an extension of their power.
• Ritualized Overload: Reactor can be triggered into a suicidal overload to create a dark-side energy pulse on destruction. This eruption shatters reality briefly, unleashing a wave of Force-fueled torment that can disable nearby ships and stun Force sensitives.

• Power Unbound: Far surpasses conventional reactors in output, especially in combat or dark side-laden areas. Its energy levels spike in proximity to suffering, hatred, or concentrated Dark Side nexuses, turning battlefields into power fonts.
• Force-Compatible: Enhances all Sith aligned systems like Painwave Emitters, Catastrophe Arrays, and force infused shields. These systems not only run more efficiently but gain augmented effects when powered by the Dark Core.
• Pain-fed Efficiency: Draws ambient trauma to enhance energy flow in prolonged combat. As enemy morale breaks and casualties rise, the reactor burns hotter, turning agony into dominance.

• Force Nullification: In Force-dead zones or near Voidstone, energy output drops. This weakens dark systems temporarily and limits the ship to only basic mechanical functions during exposure.
• Instability Risk: Damage may destabilize the reactor. If not properly regulated, it can spiral into a cascade of energy feedback, threatening catastrophic failure.
• Corruption Hazard: Close contact over time can degrade or warp crew not protected by shielding or mental fortitude. Symptoms include night terrors, emotional volatility, and eventual Force induced psychosis.

Forged in the obsidian crucibles of Malsheem and perfected by the will of the Shadow Hand, the Dark Core Reactor Mk. I is the apex of Kainate fusion, where dark science, Sith sorcery, and brutal efficiency converge. The latest and greatest in reactor technology.

Right at its heart burns a massive bled kyber crystal, suspended within a containment lattice of alchemized Sarrassian Iron and layered Sith bindings. It does not hum with energy, it screams. Where ordinary reactors rely on fusion or antimatter, this system channels raw hatred, pain, and metaphysical torment to produce its unholy output.

Unlike conventional power cores, the Dark Core doesn't simply generate energy, it fuels domination. It is a conduit for the Force itself, empowering dark aligned systems such as Painwave Emitters, Catastrophe Flak Arrays, force infused shielding, and more sith systems far beyond their normal thresholds. The more chaotic the battlefield, the more the reactor thrives, drawing strength from agony, fear, and psychic unrest through its Pain-Echo Circuitry.

But such power demands a price. Prolonged exposure without shielding leads to corruption, mental degradation, physical mutation, or worse. The reactor whispers to all who draw near, its psychic bleed warping perception and eroding sanity. Should it ever be pushed beyond safe thresholds, the kyber core can be driven into a suicidal Ritualized Overload, releasing a cataclysmic pulse of dark side energy as its final act.

The Dark Core Reactor Mk. I is not merely an engine, it is a beating, wrathful heart. And where it pulses, the Kainate's will is absolute.

• Production: Limited
• Material:
  
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron
  • Bloodsteel Conductors
  • Dark Energetic Components
  • Psychic Tether Nodes
  • Internal Rune Matrix

• Lifeforce Conversion Grid: Harvests ambient death and suffering in nearby space and channels it into energy surges for use by the ship's reactor or dark side systems.
• Soul-Tether Anchors: Dark side nodes that attach to dying beings' spiritual essence and draw fragments of energy at a distance.
• Essence Relay Matrix: Transfers the harvested energy across a web-like conductor system into the core reactor or linked Force-powered systems.
• Dark Side Battery Sync: Pairs seamlessly with the Dark Core Reactor and Sacrifice-Fed Relay for exponential energy amplification.
• Battlefield Amplifier: In warzones or psychic catastrophes, its absorption rate drastically increases.

• Combat-Fed Power Supply: Grows stronger with each death nearby, turning the tide of battle into fuel for Sith systems.
• Force-Enhanced Systems: Energizes Sith technological systems such as Painwave Emitters, Catastrophe Arrays, dark shields, and many other systems with increased potency.
• Psychic Drain: Weakens enemy Force sensitive and Non force sensitives subtly by absorbing fragments of their essence on death.

• Requires Death: System performs poorly in low-casualty environments or prolonged peace-time.
• Force Nullification: In Voidstone fields or Force-dead zones, its metaphysical elements are disabled and no energy can be harvested.
• Friendly Risk: If unshielded, it may accidentally draw on allied deaths or emotionally vulnerable Force sensitives nearby.

The Hemophage Conductor Web is a horrifying innovation born from the fusion of Sith alchemy, battlefield pragmatism, and the Kainate's unrelenting philosophy of dominion through suffering. Forged within the dread forges of Malsheem and first conceptualized by the Shadow Hand, this lattice of vampiric conduits stretches across the interior of capital ships and dreadnoughts, pulsing with a sickly crimson-black glow.

Each node of the system is an anchor, hunting not for data or signal, but for death. As soldiers fall and Force-sensitives perish, the Conductor Web seizes the last echoes of their fading essence and routes it into power. It is a net that feeds on agony. It is a battery of blood.

More than a power source, the Web is a weapon of attrition. Jedi grow weaker in its presence. Systems sing louder when it feeds. When paired with reactors like the Dark Core or the Sacrifice-Fed Relay, it elevates the ship's systems into horrors of unrelenting force. Only the Kainate would dare build such a system, and only the foolish would sail near it unprepared.

• Dark Side Reliant: Effectiveness reduced in Light Side-saturated regions.
• Not a Frontline Station: Though armed, its focus is containment, not fleet warfare.

Hidden in the void between stars, shrouded from sensors and the Force alike, Nexul Station is a leviathan of Sith ambition. Constructed in secret by the hands of Kainate fleshcrafters and technopriests, it serves as Darth Prazutis' personal sanctum for forbidden experimentation and metaphysical warfare.

Its armor is etched in Sith runes from bow to stern, its engines whispered into being through void-chants older than memory. Inside, labs churn with alchemical brews and containment chambers hum with suppressed terror. It is here that the Bound Lotek'k, a creature of galactic nightmare, is held in slumber—its screams used to power dark rituals.


Nexul Station is not a warship. It is a sanctum, a prison, a crucible of Dark Side ambition. It drifts through the stars as an unseen god-machine, tethered only to the will of Darth Prazutis. The mere knowledge of its existence is a closely guarded secret, known only to the highest echelons of the Kainate. Those who find it do not live to tell the tale. Those brought here never leave. Nexul is not a place. It is a sentence.

• Production: Limited
• Material:
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron
  • Encased Shadowfire Essence
  • Sith Blackstone Conduits
  • Obsidian Stabilization Spikes
  • Dark Energetic Components

• Shadowfire Essence Core: A metaphysical flame that burns with cold, drawing power from the dark side to fuel systems beyond normal limitations. Its presence feeds off rage and torment, pulsing in rhythm with suffering around it.
• Corrupted Power Field: Generates potent waves of energy that invigorate Sith-aligned weapons, ritual-bound systems, and advanced technology with dark efficiency.
• Psychic Pressure Emission: Emits a constant metaphysical pressure that weighs on the minds of nearby beings, inducing unease and paranoia without breaking Force connections.
• Dark Side Amplifier: Increases the potency of Sith rituals, alchemical systems, and Force-based technologies like Painwave Emitters or Catastrophe Arrays.
• Failsafe Detonation Protocol: If ruptured, the core releases a pulse of icy shadowflame and psychic agony, causing emotional breakdowns, hallucinations, and sensor interference within proximity.

• Overcharged Output: Surpasses conventional fusion cores in raw energy generation and transmission speed, providing sustained output for large-scale operations.
• Metaphysical Synergy: Perfectly complements Force-aligned systems, empowering Sith sorcery and enhancing dark side weaponry across the ship.
• Fear-Powered Efficiency: Feeds off emotional energy such as pain, rage, and despair, becoming more potent during battle or in the presence of violence.

• Spatial Interference: Prolonged operation near sensitive systems may cause sensor anomalies and interior strain without proper shielding.
• Force Nullification: In areas devoid of the Force or under Voidstone interference, its dark synergy fades, reducing its performance to that of a high-tier conventional reactor.
• Containment Demands: The volatile nature of shadowfire requires complex shielding systems and ritual stabilizers, failure may lead to violent internal backlash.
• Psychic Hazard: Without protection, prolonged exposure to the core's dark emissions can result in mental fatigue, hallucinations, or spiritual corrosion.

Forged in the deepest chambers of Malsheem's dread forges, the Voidflame Core Mk. I is a masterpiece of Sith fusion and corruption. Where ordinary reactors burn hot and bright, this one burns cold, black flame bound in shadow, infused with Force-tainted essence that destabilizes the natural laws around it. Right at its heart, a fragment of Shadowfire pulses like a frozen wound, wrapped in obsidian talons and etched with runes older than the galaxy.

The Voidflame Core was engineered by Darth Prazutis and the Shadow Mind to be more than a source of power, it is a weapon, a presence, and a symbol. It feeds Force-aligned weapons, empowering Sith rituals and ship-wide systems designed for pain, fear, and disruption. Its mere presence creates subtle shifts in nearby space, causing scanners to blur, hyperspace to warp, and the Force to shudder.

Yet such power comes at a cost. The reactor is inherently unstable. Left unbound, it could have disastrous consequences, even chillin a ship's interior to freezing with dark frost. Used wisely, however, it makes the Kainate's ships feel like specters on the battlefield, phantoms powered by voidfire, unholy and unrelenting. The Shadow Armada has fully adopted such technology to provide them with a massive edge over other ships, their vessels designed specifically to adapt this malefic technology.

• Modularity: No (Can only be integrated into vessels or installations with dedicated Shadow Mind infrastructure)
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  • Bloodsteel Data Conduits
  • Encased Sith Blackstone Ritual Core
  • Spellweave Latticework
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron Sheathing
  • Mechu-Deru Neural Imprints

• Sith Neural Network: Processes both raw data and Force impressions, synchronizing ship functions with Sith rituals and crew intent. It responds instinctively to changes in crew emotion, ship status, and dark energy, adapting its operations like a living will tied to the Dark Side.
• Mechu-Deru Integration Matrix: Enables the Node to interface with and manipulate both mechanical and alchemical systems as if alive. It can reconfigure system protocols, reroute damaged circuitry, and even awaken dormant devices through arcane machine manipulation.
• Bloodsteel Conduits: Channels emotion and pain through the ship like neurons, enhancing response time and ritual synergy. These conduits pulse with residual anguish, allowing the Node to draw upon crew torment as fuel for alchemized systems and psychic emitters.
• Spellweave Recalibration Engine: Periodically reattunes the Node's architecture through dark incantations, maintaining power and compliance. The recalibration emits ritual harmonics that echo across the ship, reinforcing Sith will and suppressing crew resistance to the Node's influence.
• AI-Ritual Fusion Core: Operates through predictive quantum code interwoven with Sith logic rites, creating a hybrid intelligence capable of processing not just data, but Force impressions. The Node anticipates future events and responds to psychic trauma, effectively "seeing" through both time and suffering.
• Shadow Mind Uplink Node: Receives dark command strings, recalibration rites, and metaphysical updates from the Kainate's Shadow Mind aboard Malsheem.

• Ritual Intelligence: Fully compatible with Sith systems, battle meditation, and Force-powered weaponry. Can independently operate alchemized weapons and metaphysical emitters.
• Centralized Supermind: Calculates at quantum-tier speeds through AI-meets-sorcery architecture, directing ship operations with terrifying precision.
• Dark Cognitive Presence: Feeds off the will of the Sith. The more hatred, malice within the crew or battlefield, the more powerful and reactive the Node becomes.
• Remote Synchronicity: Can be networked across a fleet of similarly-bound ships, allowing the Kainate to operate as a hive-mind in key battle scenarios.

• Singular Core Dependency: Cannot be ported or fragmented across small ships, must remain sealed in a central, shielded sanctum.
• Power-Intensive: Requires a dedicated Dark Core Reactor or similar energy source; standard reactors cannot maintain operation.
• Force Nullification: Inside force nullification or near Voidstone interference, the Node's dark enhancements shut down, reducing its effectiveness to a high tier AI.
• Corruption Risk: Exposure over time to the Node's presence can erode the minds of weaker crew, turning them into extensions of the machine's will.

The Shadow Mind Integration Node Mk. I is the ultimate manifestation of the Kainate's philosophy: absolute control through convergence of sorcery and science. Forged within the secretive research chambers of Malsheem, the Node represents the union of Sith ritual, Mechu-Deru alchemy, and next-generation machine intelligence. The Shadow Mind has showed continually that the galaxies greatest minds are among the Kainate, forging them into the most technologically advanced Sith in the galaxy. It allows a warship to think not just as a machine, but as a weaponized will, bonded to the Dark Side.

Right at its core, the Node uses Sith Blackstone engraved with ritual memory arrays, pulsing with encoded fear, pain, and knowledge. Through Mechu-Deru rituals, the Node interfaces with ship systems like a ghost in the machine, automating targeting, energy management, and psychic weaponry. It grows stronger the longer it operates, adapting to enemy behavior and tuning its own malice.

But the true terror of the Node is its connection to the greater Shadow Mind, the Kainate's technocratic bureau of dark science. Each Integration Node is an extension of this collective intellect, synced in real-time with Malsheem's command servers. It receives algorithmic updates, spell-weave recalibrations, and dark command strings directly from the Malsheem.

To serve aboard a ship bearing a Shadow Mind Node is to surrender to the will of the Dyarchy. You are not just part of a vessel. You are part of something deeper, a mind that watches, thinks, and remembers in darkness. These enhance command and control far beyond other vessels.

• Terror Signal Cascade: Broadcasts weaponized fear signatures over enemy comms and sensors.
• Psychic Overlay Pulse: Infuses electronic signals with metaphysical dread, affecting Force sensitives and weak-willed minds.
• False Audio/Visual Insertions: Injects screams, whispers, and horrific imagery into enemy HUDs and sensor readouts.
• Targeted Signal Corruption: Capable of mimicking friendly signals before warping them into fear-laden dissonance.
• Darkside Reactive Feedback: Grows more intense when operated in the presence of strong emotions, battlefield suffering, or Force resonance.

• Psychological Warfare Tool: Demoralizes enemy crews, disrupts coordination, and increases fear-induced error rates.
• Force Sensitive Disruption: Exploits metaphysical links to rattle Jedi, seers, and empaths with curated audio-psychic emissions.
• Tactical Chaos Generator: Overloads enemy sensor displays and battlefield cohesion by injecting corrupted visual/audio data.

• No Physical Damage: The system does not cause physical harm and cannot destroy ships or systems on its own.
• Signal Nullification: Useless against hardened comm systems, Force-dead zones, or sensor suites protected by specialized countermeasures.
• Ineffective Against Droids: Emotionless AI systems are largely immune to the psychological effects of the projector.

The Fear-Broadcast Projector Mk. I is a signature instrument of psychological warfare within the Kainate's naval arsenal. Forged in the obsidian halls of Malsheem and enhanced by the spellwork of the Shadow Mind's engineers, this system specializes in turning every signal from a Kainate vessel into a vector of fear.

By embedding Sith runes and psychic dissonance into outgoing communications and sensor pulses, the system injects hallucinated audio, ghostly whispers, corrupted visuals, and other forms of metaphysical terror directly into enemy feeds. For Jedi or Force-sensitive commanders, the experience is even worse, screams echo through the Force, masking precognition and sowing panic.

Its presence on the battlefield rarely goes unnoticed. Ships near a Fear-Broadcast Projector report elevated stress, confusion in squad coordination, and unnatural dread among bridge crews. The device thrives in high-emotion environments, feeding off violence and turning the enemy's morale into its fuel. But for all its power, it is not a weapon of destruction. It is a weapon of despair, a message carved into the stars:

The Kainate is watching. The Kainate is listening. The Kainate is fear.

  • Kinetic: Extreme
  • Lightsabers: Extreme
  • Sonic: Low
  • EMP/Ion: Average
  • Elemental: High
  • Force-Based Attacks: Very High
  • Force Light/Purification: Very High

• Special Features:
  • Sorcery Amplification Channels: Intricate veins of Blood-Forged Aurodium and Sith Rune-Inscribed Blackstone run throughout the gauntlets, forming an alchemical lattice that serves as a sorcerous circuit. These conduits channel the raw flow of the Dark Side directly into Prazutis' body, drastically amplifying the potency, range, and casting speed of his Sith sorcery. Even complex rituals that would normally require minutes of preparation can be invoked with mere gestures, their power intensified by the abyssal matrix embedded within the gauntlets.
  • Ritual Anchoring Runes: Inlaid across the inner and outer gauntlet plates are ancient anchoring glyphs, drawn from forbidden Sith lexicons and engraved in sacrificial blood. These runes stabilize the casting of battlefield rituals under duress, allowing Prazutis to conduct longform curses, summoning's, or dark invocations without interruption, immune to disruption by chaos, pain, or psychic interference. The gauntlets act as a metaphysical anchor in the maelstrom, tethering Prazutis' will to the ritual space.
  • Force Shockwave Projectors: Integrated into the palms and knuckles are micro-forged impact chambers, alchemically linked to Prazutis' own Force energy. With a mere flick of his fingers or a clenched fist, he can unleash concussive waves of invisible, telekinetic devastation. These shockwaves can hurl squads, sunder walls, or pulverize lesser Force barriers, weaponizing gesture into annihilation. When enhanced with rage, the shockwave ripples with visible distortion and abyssal energy.
  • Claws of Abyssal Rend: Each gauntlet conceals retractable talons, razor-edged claws forged from honed Zîrkaris and imbued with soul-piercing enchantments. When extended, these claws glow faintly with abyssal runes, allowing them to tear through even Force-reinforced armor and spiritual defenses. A single strike from these claws can not only rip flesh but also unravel Force bindings, making them a nightmare for lightsaber duelists and spirit-bound guardians alike.
  • Soulbrand Sigils: Hidden within the underside of each gauntlet are branding runes, sigils that, when activated, burn into the soul of a struck enemy. This mystical brand creates a metaphysical link, allowing Prazutis to torment the victim from any distance. The branded suffer recurring pain, hallucinations, and dread, unable to hide from his gaze, even across systems. The effect persists until removed by powerful Force healing or purification rituals, which require significant effort.
  • Reality-Warp Feedback Loops: Embedded Obsidian Voidshards interwoven through the gauntlets' structure continuously distort localized perception. In motion, they create mirage-like afterimages and illusory duplicates of Prazutis' arms and hands, delaying visual tracking and disorienting opponents. Under certain conditions, these distortions feed into the battlefield's emotional trauma, heightening the horror and confusion experienced by enemies.

• Amplifies Sith Sorcery: Enhances ritual casting, curses, and Force-based spells dramatically. The gauntlets act as arcane accelerants, enabling Prazutis to cast devastating spells with minimal physical effort, overwhelming opponents with sheer magical tempo.
• Dark Side Conduit: Direct interface with Prazutis' armor, helmet, and amulet for seamless power synergy. This interconnected nexus allows him to channel power from one artifact to another in real-time, creating a circuit of dark energy that magnifies every action he takes.
• Force Shockwave Utility: Can deliver devastating shockwaves through Force-enhanced strikes or gestures. These eruptions can rupture enemy formations, break fortifications, and send even armored foes flying like ragdolls across the battlefield.
• Perception Distortion: Voidshards make enemy targeting and parrying difficult by bending sight and sense. Attacks seem to arrive from multiple directions at once, confusing even seasoned Force users as their reflexes falter under warped stimuli.
• Durability: Forged from Zîrkaris, the gauntlets resist all conventional damage, offering extreme protection, as well as a self-healing factor. Even direct strikes from lightsabers, alchemized blades, or explosive ordnance glance off the gauntlets like pebbles against a monolith.

• Sonic Vulnerability: Weak against concentrated sonic attacks and resonance-based weapons.
• Weight: Heavy construction reduces finesse and limits rapid, dexterous movement in fine manipulation.
• Force Nullification: Intense voidstone fields or Ysalamiri nullify amplification properties and soulbrand effects.

Forged in the abyssal crucibles of Malsheem, where steel screams and shadows bleed, the Zarkûn-Karûz gauntlets were not crafted, they were conjured. Born of ritual, alchemy, and suffering, these gauntlets are not mere armor, they are living conduits of the Dark Side, forged to embody the apocalyptic will of Darth Prazutis. Every inch of their Zîrkaris surface pulses with dark resonance, etched with runes carved from the screams of Jedi prisoners, their spirits woven into the very metal.

The gauntlets link directly to Prazutis' other dread regalia, his sentient warplate Qâzjiin'vraal, his helm Xûl-Karzaan, and his amulet Karanazat, forming a nexus of supernatural synergy that elevates his every motion into an act of eldritch domination. Every flex of his fingers can invoke a tidal surge of dark power, every gesture a ritual in itself. The claws, retractable and forged with abyssal sorcery, can rip through armor, Force barriers, and even the veils between dimensions.

Voidshards embedded along the gauntlets' knuckles and forearms distort perception and warp reality, making Prazutis seem untouchable, unreal, a phantasm of fear and fury. These feedback loops create illusory doubles, twisted echoes of his form that confuse and terrify foes, while the Soulbrand Sigils allow him to mark victims across space and time, leaving their souls branded and burning in torment even from afar.

When the Dark Lord raises his hand clad in Zarkûn-Karûz, it is not just a gesture, it is a sentence. A curse. A declaration of annihilation.

They are weapons of finality.

They are fangs of the Void Reign.

And only he, the Shadow Hand, can wield them without being devoured by their hunger.

• Species: Near-Human (Sith Alchemically Enhanced)
• Height: 2.3 meters (7’6”)
• Weight: 420 kg (925 lbs, due to cybernetic and alchemical augmentations)
• Appearance: The Lord Arbiter is a towering, gaunt figure clad in obsidian-black judicial war-armor, etched with Sith runes of enforcement and punishment. His mask, a featureless iron visage, has no eyes, only a burning crimson slit, resembling a single, eternal gaze of judgment. His robes are embroidered with High Sith script, detailing the Dark Lord’s decrees as if they were sacred law.
  
  Despite his humanoid form, his presence is wholly unnatural. His voice is a chorus of echoes, many voices speaking in sync, as if the Tribunal itself speaks through him. His skeletal, cybernetic fingers twitch with raw power, exuding a quiet, terrifying authority. The Arbiter’s presence is suffocating, a manifestation of absolute control. Those who stand before him often feel as though their thoughts are no longer their own, their secrets laid bare under his burning scrutiny.

• Name: Lord Arbiter [REDACTED] (His true name is erased from history. He is the law, not an individual.)
• Titles: The Lord Arbiter, Master of the Grand Tribunal, The Final Judge, The Architect of Compliance, The Hand of Law, Breaker of Oaths, The Sentence Made Flesh
• Loyalties:
  • The Kainate
• Wealth: None. The Lord Arbiter does not own. He controls. The entire legal apparatus of the Kainate is under his dominion.
• Notable Equipment:
  
  • The Seal of Dominion: A Sith-forged sigil of judgment, enabling the Arbiter to enact instant legal decrees with the Dark Lord’s authority. Those branded with the Seal suffer absolute servitude, immediate execution, or permanent exile from Sith law.
  • The Black Ledger: A bound tome of oaths, contracts, and Sith decrees, a record of every Sith-Imperial law enforced under the Grand Tribunal. The Ledger itself is sentient, reacting to violations with cold, arcane precision.
  • Sword of the Tribunal: A massive Sith executioner’s blade, infused with Dark Side law-binding magic, capable of annihilating traitors with a single cut, not just physically, but their very essence, erasing their presence from all Sith records.
  • The Tribunal Gavel: A Sith War Mace, capable of delivering judicial decrees through Force-bound telekinetic destruction. A single slam of the gavel can shatter bones, enforce compliance, or kill with pure judicial will.
• Skills:
  
  • The Ultimate Enforcer of Sith Law
    
    • The Law Incarnate: The Lord Arbiter’s words are binding, his voice compels obedience through Sith sorcery, overriding lesser minds. No oath, contract, or deal can be broken in his presence.
    • Unshakable Authority: Fear is not his tool, certainty is. His authority is absolute, and through mental domination, he makes others believe it.
    • Memory Erasure & Thought Reconstruction: Those who defy Sith law in his presence may find their minds rewritten, their crimes purged from memory, or their very identity erased.
    • Sith Jurisprudence & Ritual Enforcement: Through the Black Ledger, he can summon Sith law into reality, binding criminals in runes of obedience or forcing lawbreakers into eternal servitude.
    • Master of Psychological & Information Warfare: The Tribunal knows all transgressions. The Lord Arbiter does not accuse without proof, he has already gathered it.
• Languages:
  
  • Galactic Basic
  • High Sith (Legal and ritual dialects)
  • Ancient Sith
  • Ur-Kittât (The old script of the Dark Lords)
  • Binary & Cybernetic Code (He interacts directly with Sith enforcement AI)
• Personality: The Lord Arbiter is not a man, he is an institution. His will is the Grand Tribunal’s will. He feels no personal ambition, only the execution of Sith law in absolute, immutable compliance with the Dyarchy’s decrees. He is merciless but fair, in the sense that fairness, to him, is obedience. His vision of justice is not morality, it is compliance. If the Dark Lord has ordered a genocide, then it is law. If the Dark Lord has declared treason, then all who stand against him are guilty by default. Unlike many Sith, he does not revel in cruelty for its own sake. He simply carries out what must be done. A warlord, a traitor, a civilian, all are equal beneath the word of the Dyarchy.

• Weapon of Choice:
  
  • Sword of the Tribunal (Execution Blade)
  • Tribunal Gavel (Sith War Mace)
  • Force Domination & Mental Warfare
• Combat Function:
  
  • The Lord Arbiter does not duel, he ends conflicts before they begin.
  • His presence alone is enough to make most Sith hesitate, to doubt one’s legal standing is to already be guilty.
  • His strength lies in enforcement, judgment, and forced compliance, not personal bloodlust.

• Absolute Authority: No Sith under the Dyarchy may defy him without consequence. His authority is the Dark Lord’s will.
• Psychological Warfare Mastery: He does not need to fight when words can strip a person of their will to resist.
• Unbreakable in Purpose: His resolve cannot be shaken. No Jedi mind trick, no deception, no bribery will alter his course.

• Not a Frontline Combatant: He is a judge, not a warlord. While powerful, he is not suited for frontline battle.
• Bound by the Law He Enforces: The Lord Arbiter does not make laws, he enforces them. If the Dyarchy issues a decree, he must comply even if it destroys him.
• His Authority Is Not Infinite: While he holds dominion over Sith law, he is still beneath the Dyarchy. Should Darth Prazutis or the Sith Dyarchy issue a command that nullifies his judgment, he must obey.

If the Lord Arbiter had a true name it's long since been erased, he was not born; he was made. The Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Prazutis took a Sith Lord of exceptional legal acumen, true master of his profession and broke him, reforged him, and wove the law into his very being. The man's mind was burned clean of individual identity, his memories stripped, his body rebuilt, his purpose made singular. He was not a Sith Lord, not a warlord, he was an institution, a living extension of the Sith Dyarchy's command over law.

Under his watch, the Grand Tribunal operates with absolute authority, ensuring that all within the Kainate, Sith, soldier, or civilian, submit to the will of the Dyarchy. To defy the Lord Arbiter is to defy the law of the Kainate itself. And no one escapes the Tribunal.
