"Yes! You know what it is don't you. Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do. The force isn't strong children, flesh is stronger! Look around you. Look at the people with you. That is strength! That is power! What is the force compared to the bodies that command it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart, I give you this!"

- Perpetual Pain: The lightside crystals are used to focus her anger and hatred but there is no denying a darksider touching the crystals burns and hurts. Without her focus to channel it she can go into agonizing pain.
There is not much known about the Morning Star before she appeared with some of the firebirds. Mutilating herself sometime when she was younger and studying with several cults from around the galaxy on how to entice and bring in followers. She was given a small room on a ship and within weeks she had managed to convert to a religion several of the soldiers who had been there.. the ship within a month and it was spreading. With the changes and darker tone of the Firebirds they were bringing in the Order of the terrible glare and from their dark world. She was able to rise through the paramilitary group and bringing a religion to them that would inspire them.
The inclusion of the order of the terrible glare altered her as they had secrets from the piius dea... they were ancient and had launched crusades across the galaxy against others. With her talents at speechcraft and enough beings who could corrupt and sustain the forces.. they might be able to build up to another crusade. She was working towards it but it would require time and she needed to solidify the people who she would have overseeing them. From a military commando who could raid and retrieve recruits to convert.. to a force user that could oversee and ensure their compliance. She had spent the time but it would need to be used.
She was reborn though as the morning star from their dark word she would be a shining symbol to it and actively work to convert all who were brought to them. From the population of the planet to the ones who were there and in the unknown regions the Firebirds would start small.. backwater worlds where they could gain members and practice the tactics best needed to crusade against more and more of the galaxy.
