Nakhash - First Supreme Overlord (speculatively)
Tashsi Qsa - Supreme Overlord Reborn
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Speculatively founded by Nakhash himself during the beginning of space travel, after the Anzati's first contact with alien life, the supremacist and esoteric cult existed through most of documented history, although in darkness, teaching the ways to escape the vice of bloodsoup, and to use the hunger to a greater purpose: to learn Anzati Sorcery. It is told that the ancient Anzati made two great experiments to ensure their supremacy over the others: they presented the ways of Anzat to the Sith, including the consumption of soup, and Anzati Sorcery, of which the Sith developed and created Sith Sorcery. The other experiment was to present the Rakata with the same ancient knowledge. Rather than respect the Anzati, and venere them as the divine beings they truly were, the other species grew weary of them, dreadful, and adopted militaristic and supremacist views themselves. The experiments were utter failures due to the way they were conducted.
It is said that, after much perseverance and fighting, the ancient Anzati simply couldn't beat the infant, blooming species -they breeded too often, and were prone to risking their lives for nothing instead of what Anzati were accustomed to. The last remnants of the Cult of Anzat, the oldest Anzati there were, with Nakhash at their head, vowed to bring greatness to their species again. All of them entered into pilgrimage to Wild Space, to further their understanding of Sorcery, of Bogan, of the energy driving their souls to madness, reaching planets and stellar bodies undiscovered until this very day. For centuries, there was no information about the pilgrims, and the Cult of Anzat became but a legend to Anzati and others. Alternatively, the Anzati on Anzat became more complacent, driven mostly through their vices rather than the will to achieve supremacy. They too, the children of the pilgrims, were lost to the barbarian ways of humanity.
A century ago, the Anzati Pilgrimage returned, modified, more determined, with greater will. They have seen the confines of the universe, they have spread themselves through the entire galaxy, they have seen civilisations great and small rise and die. They wre patient and, through millenia of observing low life and furthering their knowledge, using the powers of Typhojem to their best interest. It returned, with the Supreme Overlord Reborn, the Anzat of which name was lost, and would be known later as Tashsi Qsa. Under his rule, the Cult of Anzat became more militaristic and supremacist than ever, embracing their nature as creatures of pure chaos and darkness, created to serve Bogan as a means to ascend when darkness consumes not only the galaxy, but the universe. The Anzati further mutated themselves through Alchemy, and waged war on Wild Space and other pocket galaxies.
With the enslavement of Tashsi Qsa, the Cult of Anzat once again was scattered through the galaxy, but much differently this time: they would all wait until their Supreme Overlord Reborn unleashed himself, with a new sense of purpose, strenghtening themselves once more for the Great and Bloody Darkness to Come
- Intent: To further flesh out Tashsi Qsa's beliefs, and offer more lore to the Anzati as a whole.

- Description: One of the most ancient species in the galaxy, the Anzati's mere presence became the origin of many legends and pratices, from Korriban to Corellia. The Sith of old were guided by them to use the dark side, and to eat as they did in macabre rituals. The Cult of Anzat centers around the conception that The Immortal Gods of the Sith, an integral part of the galaxy's mythology, were all Anzati, and that they themselves are perfect, divine creatures -the only capable of sowing chaos, and finally cover the galaxy in its well-deserved, infinite darkness. By serving the Darkness within, and guiding their unholy hunger towards the purpose of ridding the galaxy of independent life, an Anzat can cure themself of the vice of draining luck, and transcend the barriers of their fleshly needs.
While humans and ordinary people believe in light and dark, the Cult of Anzat only believes in the darkness from within, and its need to expand and sow the galaxy in chaos, and rule surpreme over it.
- Founder: Many believe Nakhash himself created the religion, and passed it through generations of a select group of Anzati. The reviver of this religion, as well as its head, calls himself Nakhash, and uses their title.
- Membership: Every Anzat has in their blood the key to entering the Cult, and so are accepted after professing a secret vow in Anzat (the language). For other species, though, the process is more selective. Anyone can serve the Anzati, as one day everyone in the galaxy will, but to become an effective member of the Cult of Anzat, one has to abandon their species' nature and culture, and fully adopt the Anzati way of life, which includes feeding exclusively through the draining of soup, understanding at least partially the language of Anzat. The Highest Ranking aliens would be taught the secrets of Anzat, and of their long life expectancy. With that, the transformation would be complete, and through alchemy they would be transformed into an Anzat themself.
- Sacred: The Anzat, of all beings, is the most sacred, perfect, pristine masters of the universe. They should be treated as deities, and see themselves as such too. Everything related to their habits are sacred, specially hunting and draining. Aside from the Anzat themself, draining if the second most sacred act one can make, and the victim should be chosen accordingly. Since the Immortal Gods of the Sith are, from their beliefs, Anzati, they revere the figure of Nakhash -Death- and his eight beasts -the other Gods.
- Dogma: "The Anzati will reign supreme when the galaxy is enveloped in darkness".
- Reputation: While a secret organisation, it is mostly despised, as one would despise the Anzati.
