- Formerly created to host the lives of ten thousand force sensitive creatures and to draw its power and provide its dark user with strength and might. The artifact was modified twice, once by Darth Callidus and another by Lunafreya Solidor, for reshaping matter inside its sinister liquified content slowly melts both flesh and any sort of material dropped inside by infusing them with the torment of those ten thousand souls trapped in malevolent energy to retransform their flesh as monsters in the service of their master. With a will of its own, Samna Melko can almost be heard by those with weaker mindpower, for this artifact was created to distort natural life and give birth to the most horrendous beings ever imagined by the will of darkness.
- Dark Tyrant - Oblong and sickening. Able to reshape matter and gestate it as it sees fit, the Melko reshapes life and infuses them with the utter suffering of those that died. Remodeling their bodies, their beings, and their very souls to giving birth to an entirely new breed of creatures, out of love and greed, this device emanates sheer obscurity of misery, pain, and agony that converge to recreate possibly one of the most powerful and corruptive devices ever created in all existence that in the wrongs hands of someone with a dark heart could only mean one thing: chaos.
- The Constrainer - Highly corruptive and dangerous, this device irradiates of its dark essence. By glowing with a pale, sickly light, standing near the Melko can cause a light sider to even growing sick, and touching its jelly surface unprepared to enter its demonic inside can feel like their skin is being burned with a cold fire upon touch, shadows on the room within converged on the point of contact to whisper suggestions of hate and despair to the curious and weak of heart and will.
- Force Nullfiers - The presence of objects and beings such as voidstones and ysalamir can cause this object to simply vanish from existence, as its connection with the darkness is lost and its existence is deemed erased.
- Uncertain - It is impossible knowing how long the gestation process inside the artifact will take, a procedure that may take minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and even years. Also, giving total uncertainty as to what it will come out of this diabolical device.
- Weak - Samna Melko is completely vulnerable to a great number of external damage, if struck, the device can cause a massive destructive explosion engulfing an all-encompassing mass caught in its dark energy.
- Cowardly - Oddly, Samna Melko has whispered desires of continuing existing and corrupting creatures and actually knows the fear of death.
- Ever Hungry - Constant sacrifices are required on this sphere, by butchering those attuned with the Force to appease this hunger.
To tell the tale of Samna Melko is to tell a tale of horror. Of the Mornedhel species, history remembers five of its members joining with Force Orders of the outer galaxy, three are recorded as the Three Demonkings, and are entwined the end of the Nightfolk's Golden Age, but the first one is only recalled by its monicker, the Bloodstone, or as the older texts of the Sith Empire remember him: Lord Belegûr. Trained on the most ancient arts of the Sith by the spirit of Darth Naga Sadow, whose the knowledge he used to procure himself quite the career and build a massive army of aberrations and beasts to serve his purposes and fulfill his greed on conquering himself a piece of the galaxy, for Morgoth desired true control of the Sith Empire, who had discarded him for his beliefs and deeming his the work of a maniac. For long he knew of Vitiate's ritual, and by learning about it and realizing the Sith Emperor's real intentions, he desired to take his place, by undoing this galaxy and corrupting the entire universe under his influence and authority.
His first attempt at successfully succeeding in preserving his life by sacrificing force users on an altar and eating their hearts granting him an endless sensation of hunger, for himself, he took control of the planet of Ilmaren, where his Massassi hoard created an elaborated fortress for him deep within its mountains, and by increasing his knowledge on the dark side he remained in there, spreading his influence over the Elenna and ruling as he saw fit. And for nearly five hundred years was satisfied with that, but even he Belegûr knew that this would not suffice to satisfy his need for eating and achieving immortality, the cruel lord, over-confident in his power, used all of his knowledge to set about another ritual, just like the one on Nathema, to drain every soul on his planet and enhance his power to achieve godhood. For that purpose, Belegûr gathered ten thousand of those attuned with the Force from around the galaxy, enslaved them, and taught them an intricated ritual of yore.
However, despite all preparations and deeps, the great one simply ended up becoming yet another tale of the failure of those who tried and succumbed to misery. His ritual backfired on him, disintegrating all life within a huge range of Ilmaren's surface, including that of his enchanter, by annihilating their lives and regrouping their souls and torment under a mass of the darkest energy ever created, this Remain of his failed thought bomb lingered in shadows and oblivion until it was discovered by one of the Demonkings, she that was called Darth Callidus the Artist who came seeking Belegûr's Remains in hopes of using it for her own designs. By studying for many centuries, Callidus soon learned how to harness the power of Belegûr's Remains and reshape it into Samna Melko, the Abyss Who Arises in Might.
Her lifework was revolved around this object, who became the sole purpose of her existence and fascination, she found ancient ways of modeling such power and use it with her vast knowledge in science to give it a will and a purse: recreating life into horrifying sithspaws. However, Callidus soon lost control of her creations as she was forced to wage war against her brothers, the other Demonkings, this war lead to her undoing and Samna Melko was forgotten in the depths of her fortress, Carn Ravaryn, the Fortress of Secrets Forgotten.
