• Production: Limited
• Material:
  • Alchemized Bloodsteel Housing
  • Dark Resin Flow Conduits
  • Void-Tether Stabilizer Rings
  • Decay Crystal Array Core
  • Shadow Energy Capacitor Nodes

• Entropy Field Projector: Generates a decaying energy field around the vessel that weakens and erodes incoming projectiles, beam weapons, and force based attacks as they approach. This field does not reflect or absorb, it breaks down velocity, cohesion, and intensity.
• Decay Crystal Core: Right at the system's heart lies a corrupted crystal matrix tuned to dissolve momentum and energy signatures. These crystals are grown through an intricate process and cursed with temporal instability.
• Dark Resonance Feedback Layering: Acts as a filter for hostile Force based assaults, disrupting ritual precision, Battle Meditation influence, and telekinetic bombardments. It creates interference around the vessel, distorting hostile perception and spiritual cohesion.
• Shadow Energy Capacitor Nodes: Harvest ambient energy from decayed attacks to maintain the field longer under sustained barrages. These nodes can pulse excess energy through feedback channels to power emergency systems or offensive weapon bursts.

• Decay Based Defense: Rather than deflect or shield, the Nullheart Core weakens threats via erosion, degrading energy, kinetic, and spiritual attacks as they approach. This makes it effective against a wide range of weapon types, including Force based abilities or weaponry.
• No Reflection or Redirection: Because the system does not reflect or absorb, it avoids dangerous ricochets or backscatter toward friendly units. Even overwhelming attacks are reduced, not turned away violently.
• Dark Side Synergy: Fully attuned to the Force, it enhances other dark systems and thrives in proximity to dark engines or Shadow Mind systems.

• Force Nullification Vulnerability: Voidstone saturation, ysalamiri fields shut down the system's feedback ability. Only the hardened housing and framework remain active and its base decay field.
• Ineffective Against Pure Mass Impact: While the field erodes velocity and energy, it struggles with supermassive kinetic strikes (ramming vessels, gravity manipulated asteroids) that deliver destructive payloads regardless of cohesion.
• Instability Under Corruption: The system's decay crystals can become unstable if overexposed, risking short-range spatial turbulence, flickering protection, or internal pulse disruption. Left unchecked, this may require dark stabilization or crystal replacement mid-campaign.

The Nullheart Core Mk. I is a dark marvel of Sith engineering, part ward, part defensive entropic engine. Forged in the depths of Malsheem and bound in layers of corrupted ritual, this system represents the Kainate's latest attempt at redefining ship defense through dark technological infusion and field theory.

Where shields deflect and armor absorbs, the Nullheart unravels. It generates a thin but potent field of decaying energy that envelops the ship like a corrosive mist, softening plasma bolts, unraveling missiles mid-flight, dulling railgun rounds, and disrupting the cohesion of various attacks before they reach the hull. Sith engineers described the field as "dissolution incarnate" a slowing pulse that denies violence its full expression.

Central to its function is a matrix of Decay Crystals, fused from lignan and katak crystal lattices, grown under sacrificial flame and tuned to instability. When power is routed through them, they don't emit a shield, they birth an aura of rot. Laser fire flickers. Missiles spiral sluggishly. The certainty of impact begins to fade before weapons ever reach the hull.

However, the Nullheart is not invincible. In regions prevalent with Voidstone, the system's dark properties against force based ability collapse. Additionally, the strain of prolonged use can crack its delicate crystal cores, creating volatile spikes or shorting out its effect. Despite this, it remains a powerful, terrifying asset aboard Kainate warships.

Where it is active, nothing strikes clean. All violence becomes erosion.

• Modularity: No
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  
  • Bloodsteel Neural Filaments
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron
  • Sacrificial Echo-Nodes
  • Nethercurrent Relay Coils
  • Sith Blackstone Harmonics Core

• Ritualized Navigation Matrix: Integrates Sith foresight and dark rituals directly into the navicomputer architecture, allowing the vessel to interpret hyperspace flow based on precognitive instinct. This system adapts to psychic impressions mid-jump, enabling rerouting to avoid ambushes or collapse points.
• Path Engine Synchronization Core: Advanced Path Engine interface, allowing alternative routes through rarely accessed locations such as stormseeds.
• Umbral Gate Sequence Protocol: Opens brief corridors through Otherspace, Netherworld, or Sith Waystone specific paths, allowing the vessel to travel through even the most unstable paths easier.
• Microjump Optimization System: Equipped for fast spooling, short range hyperspace repositioning during battles or evasive maneuvers. Enables high precision tactical flanking or ambush exits across localized battlefields.
• Dark Calibration Array: Uses pain-linked command inputs, ritual engines, or Force rich environments to fine-tune hyperdrive harmonics and prediction logic. Ensures superior reliability under stress and improves hyperspace vector sharpness in combat zones.

• Class 0.33 Hyperdrive Rating: Among the fastest hyperdrives in the known galaxy, outpacing most military-class systems with brutal efficiency. Ideal for rapid strike missions, outrunning fleets, or accessing distant theaters of war.
• Otherspace & Hellspace Access: Capable of navigating alternate dimensions and Sith-corrupted space, including Otherspace veins and ritual paths. Offers a strategic edge in bypassing blockades and hyperspace denial tactics.
• Foresight Based Navigation: Utilizes Force intuition, ritual patterns, and esoteric data to foresee turbulence, traps, or enemy fleets ahead of the jump. This often allows for preemptive corrections or evasion before threats are even visible.
• Fleet Ritual Synchronization: Can align multiple Kainate vessels through shared Sith rituals, allowing entire squadrons to jump in eerie unison. Perfect for mass coordinated blitz attacks and ritualized fleet formations.

• Force Nullification Zones: Completely reliant on the Force for full function, ysalamiri fields, Voidstone saturation, or Force-dead regions disable advanced routing and Otherspace access. In such zones, the hyperdrive drops to a degraded Class 2 level with no ritual enhancements.
• Pathway Instability: Routes through Otherspace, Hellspace, and corrupted hyperspace folds carry inherent risks of spatial drift, psychic turbulence, or ejection into null coordinates. These must be ritually recalibrated and maintained by experienced Sith or risk catastrophic failure.
• High Ritual Demands: Must be tuned, fed, and maintained by Sith users or dark side AI. Improper activation may result in psychic backlash, calibration loss, or inconsistent jump drift. Non-Sith users attempting to operate the system face near-certain failure or madness.

The Umbral Gate Hyperdrive Mk. I is not merely a jump engine, it is an arcane construct of purpose, foresight, and domination. It was not engineered, it was summoned, ritually forged in the pain-choked sanctums of Malsheem and bled into service by the Shadow Mind Division. Where the rest of the galaxy calculates safe passage through hyperspace, the Kainate rends open dark corridors, slicing through ancient folds with rituals instead of coordinates.

Its core, an unstable lattice of Nether-carved lignan and katak crystal, is attuned to the darkness. It does not simply read hyperspace lanes; it sees them, feels them, like echoes in a predator's mind. Sith commanders don't enter hyperspace. They command it.

But such unnatural mastery comes with price. Force-null environments suppress its magical properties to a mere class one. The rituals that fuel it must be maintained through pain, sacrifice, and absolute will. Despite its demands, the Umbral Gate is now the standard hyperdrive across the Kainate Shadow Armada. Without it, their ships would be swift. With it, they are inevitable.

• TBD

• Psychic Disruption (Space-Adapted): Upon impact, enemy gunnery crews, targeting officers, or Force-sensitive navigators experience momentary flashes of dread or distraction, causing brief drops in accuracy or sync during precision fire sequences.
• Fear Induction: Repeated contact with the plating can wear down morale over time, particularly for squadrons or boarding units, who report subconscious aversion to continued engagement.
• Starfighter Suppression: Fast-moving or tightly coordinated starfighters attacking ships coated in Screaming Void Plating may experience pilot disorientation, targeting flicker, or even crash if multiple units are struck by echo pulses in formation.
• Modular Layering: Compatible with other Sith armor materials (such as Bloodwrought Plating or Void Plating), forming a fearsome composite shell both physically durable and spiritually aggressive.

• Limited Proximity Effectiveness: The psychic scream's disorienting effects diminish rapidly with distance. Capital ship cannons or artillery fire from long range will not suffer any effect.
• Void Nullification: The scream is completely silenced in Force-dead zones or around Voidstone/ysalamiri fields. No spiritual or echo-based function can activate under these conditions.

• 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.

• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: Aegis of Shadows Shield Generator Mk. I
• Modularity: Yes (Can be scaled or adapted for starships, stations, high end power armor, or Kainate citadel defense structures)
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron Lattice Frame
  • Void-Channel Focusing Core
  • Echo-Bonded Sith Blackstone Lenses
  • Bloodsteel Resonator Threads
  • Shadow Mind Illusion Circuitry

• Sith Neural Network: Processes

• Hybridized Defense Architecture: The Aegis of Shadows combines energy, kinetic, and Force-warped shielding into one layered, adaptive system. It is not limited to a single field type like deflector or particle shielding, and it adapts to both mundane and exotic threats, including Force-based powers, alchemized weapons, and energy surges.
• Battlefield Obfuscation: The illusionary distortions and projected phantom overlays generated by the shield confuse enemy sensors, mislead organic observers, and obscure targeting locks. This can result in wasted salvos, mistimed strikes, and compromised tactical execution from adversaries engaging the vessel in combat. This however is not stealth technology, and the ship is still readily visible.
• Force-Attuned but Not Force-Dependent: While enhanced by dark side energy, the Aegis retains core functionality without it. Its Force warped shielding operates at reduced strength in zones of ysalamiri or voidstone, but it does not shut down entirely. This ensures reliability even in environments designed to counter Sith technologies.
• Reactive Counterstrike Mechanism: Every blow struck against the shield risks triggering a volatile response. Echo surges, shadow warped feedback, and cognitive distortion effects can lash out at nearby attackers, especially Force sensitive or unshielded organics, causing confusion, hesitation, or fear tremors in the midst of battle.

• Heavy Energy Consumption: Operating the Aegis at full capacity, especially while projecting illusions and maintaining adaptive layering, places extreme demands on power systems. Without specialized power regulation or dark side-reactive generators, the shield may drain energy from cloaking fields, weapons, or propulsion during peak stress.
• Force Nullification Effects: In zones saturated with Voidstone or ysalamiri presence, the Aegis loses access to its most fearsome tools: the illusionary projection, shadowfold distortion, and feedback pulses. Though the base shielding remains, it functions as a conventional energy barrier in such conditions.

• Modularity: No
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  • Alchemized Shadowsteel Threads
  • Force Reactive Resin Compound
  • Echo Woven Soulfibre Mesh
  • Null Sigil Binding Matrix

• Spiritual Nullification Web: Inhibits Force-based intrusion, psychic projection, and incorporeal boarding attempts by neutralizing disembodied imprints, echo-signatures, and external spiritual tethering. This network laces the internal structure like a warded skin.
• Force Light Dampening Field: Generates a passive suppression field that blunts the presence and strength of the Light Side. Jedi and Light-aligned Force users aboard suffer impaired intuition, diminished clarity, and growing emotional instability.
• Ritual Surge Insulation: Prevents uncontrolled Force cascades, Sith ritual misfires, and alchemical backlash from damaging adjacent systems or inducing trauma among crew during spiritual overloads.
• Dark Side Conductive Threading: A latticework of soul-attuned filament enhances the integrity and flow of Sith rituals, allowing spellwork, enchantments, and Force-bound subsystems to function at peak efficiency without destabilization.
• Void Channel Dissonance Buffer: The system diffuses residual echoes from overlapping Force events, creating a stabilizing layer that mitigates spiritual distortion across long-term engagements.

• Anti-Intrusion Defense: Acts as a passive ward against Force-based boarding, illusions, and spiritual projections. The ship becomes significantly harder to penetrate for incorporeal or sorcerous entities.
• Light Side Suppression: Weakens the ability of Light-aligned Force users to draw upon their power within the vessel, making Jedi saboteurs or stowaways less effective and vulnerable to capture or isolation.
• Dark Side Harmonization: The lattice doesn't just protect—it empowers. It enhances the consistency of Sith spellcasting, ritual invocation, and any systems linked to Force-sensitive command modules.
• Spiritual Resonance Shielding: Prevents psychic fallout from chaotic battlefields, rituals, or Force phenomena from overwhelming bridge officers or crew, ensuring Kainate cohesion under metaphysical siege.

• No External Defense: The system provides no resistance to kinetic or energy-based weaponry and must be coupled with traditional exterior hull plating.
• Force-Null Sensitivity: In regions where the Force is suppressed, due to Voidstone, ysalamiri, the lattice's spiritual effects are rendered inert, becoming little more than heavy internal insulation.
• Ritual Upkeep Demands: Must be ritually maintained, realigned, and bled clean of spiritual buildup. Failure to do so may cause misalignment, spiritual bleed, or uncontrollable arcane resonance across key ship systems.

The Netherward Lattice is no ordinary ship liner, it is a consecrated interior defense system designed to enshrine every Kainate capital ship in an unholy veil. Each thread is forged in dread and silence, woven from dark soulfibre and laced with null-sigils that snuff out unwanted intrusion like smoke under a lid. Developed by the Shadow Mind and ritually sanctified under the eye of Darth Prazutis himself, this system reflects the Kainate's total commitment to spiritual supremacy. Where others use armor to shield the body, the Kainate shields the soul of its warships.

When a Jedi steps aboard, the ship knows. Their thoughts fog. Their foresight fades. Their serenity buckles. To them, the very air resists the Light. Yet the lattice does not simply suppress, it harmonizes. Every dark ritual cast within a ship lined in Netherward flows cleanly, empowered, controlled. When a ritual surges beyond expected boundaries, the lattice captures the excess, absorbing, buffering, rerouting. It has saved many ships from alchemical implosion and psychic collapse, becoming a stabilizing ritual spine in Kainate architecture.

From the innermost sanctums of dreadnoughts to the narrowest ritual walkways of Sith frigates, the Netherward Lattice transforms every corridor into a place of stillness, tension, and whispered menace. It is not shielding. It is not armor. It is devotion, scribed in pain and silence. It does not merely line the ship, it marks it as a temple, and within temples of the Kainate, only darkness is welcome.

• Material:
  • Zîrkaris (Indestructible Sith alchemical metal, abyssal resonance)
  • Blood-Forged Aurodium (Channeling aggression and rituals)
  • Obsidian Voidshards (Reality warping perception disruptors)
  • Sith Rune-Inscribed Blackstone (Runic focal points for sorcery and control)

• Weight: Heavy
• Resistances:
  • Energy: Extreme
  • 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.

• Force Sensitivity: Yes, Master
• 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.
