"It is time for a new Dark Lord of Sith, by rights it should be me"

Naga Sadow

Dark Lord of Sith

Naga Sadow was one of the few who came from the elite priesthood of pure Sith blood. On Korriban, at the funeral for the late Dark Lord of Sith, Marka Ragnos, he became one of the two Sith Lords who fought for the title of Dark Lord of the Sith. The two Lords, Naga Sadow and his rival, Ludo Kressh, had different ideas about the future of the Sith Empire. Sadow felt that the Sith Empire was stagnating and should expand its territory, while Kressh wanted a more isolationist approach to governing the Sith Empire. During the duel, Marka Ragnos appeared in spirit and warned the two that this was the Golden Age of the Sith, and that they should coose their paths wisely or else the glorious Sith Empire would fall. However, they continued to fight to the death. The on-going and raging duel was suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Gav and Jori Daragon, who had accidently hyperspaced into the wrong place. Here, again, the two rivals had different opinions. Ludo Kressh wanted them executed as precursors to an invasion by the Old Republic, but Sadow saw it as an oportunity to expand the Sith Empire. The two unlucky explorers waited in the underground dungeon of Ziost, without hope, waiting to be executed. But the twins did not realize that they had become pawns of a vying Sith Lord. Lord Naga Sadow had begun and completed a devious plot: a prison break. With his fierce Massassi warriors, Sadow secretly stole strange Republic weaponry from Gav and Jori's impounded ship, Starbreaker 12, and staged a commando raid to free the prisoners, killing the great Sith Lord, Ancient Simus, in the process. Sadow then took them to his private fortress.

Seeing the weapons, and technology, the Sith Lords assumed that they had been attacked by Republic forces, with an imminent invasion at hand. In great anger, a common characteristic of the Sith, they turned to the candidate Naga Sadow for leadership and named him the Dark Lord of the Sith. Amidst Sadow's celebration an outraged Ludo Kressh stormed off, taking his supporters with him. After intense investigation, Lord Kressh discovered Sadow's trickery. He vowed to fight to save the Sith Empire from the Sadow's reckless actions and mounted an armed rebellion against the evil Dark Lord. Sadow learned of the imminent attack and thus indirectly directed the rebels to a decoy fortress on Khar Delba. While attacking Sadow's decoy fortress, they missed the real their real target, Sadow's secret fortress on Khar Shian, the moon of Khar Delba. Thus, Kressh had walked right into an ambush set by the Dark Lord. With Ludo Kressh out of the way, Naga Sadow rallied all the Sith Lords for the coming crusade. True to his ideas, the new Dark Lord planned to launch a campaign aimed at the Old Republic. During Kressh's attack, Sadow had tricked Jori into fleeing back to the Republic without her brother, who was being held elsewhere. Before her flight, he had secretly implanted a bug on her ship and thus, she inadvertantly began the Great Hyperspace War, leading the forces of Sith right to the Old Republic. Amidst all this, Lord Sadow had begun teaching the black arts of Sith to the Force-sensitive Gav. Pleased with his rapid learning and because he had unique knowledge of the Old Republic, Sadow gave him command of a Sith fleet. Now Sadow could watch war from his meditation sphere orbiting the unstable red giant, Primus Goluud, where he would use forbidden Sith magic to rally his forces and create the illusion of a much more massive force than it actually was. But Gav had grudgingly accepted and by and by, he could not stand being the commander of such death and destruction. And so, when he was told to command a huge invasion fleet, the young apprentice turned on his master. The tide of the war quickly turned, even more so, when Gav fatally damaged Lord Sadow's meditation sphere. This caused the Dark Lord's great Massassi armies to lose immensely due to lack of morale. And finally, Republic sent out a fleet to search and destroy the devastated Naga Sadow.

But, using his immense Sith powers, Sadow nudged the unstable Primus Goluud star to supernova, hiding his escape back to the Sith Empire. However, in Sadow's absence, survivng and filled with even more hating than ever, Ludo Kressh had taken control of the Sith Empire and had his fleet waiting for Sadow's return. And so, Sadow returned as an exiled man and came out of hyperspace, right into Kressh's trap. Naga Sadow turned and fled, regrouping with his followers. Kressh pursued the fleeing Sadow, only to a big surprise. The new Dark Lord came onto a huge fleet, awaiting his arrival. And thus, Kressh's fate was sealed. His fleet was no match for Sadow's devastated but infinitely stronger fleet. In the ensuing battle, he ordered one of his ships to ram into the enemy mothership, the ship which Lord Kressh was on. Thus, the Eleventh Dark Lord of Sith was killed and Naga Sadow rejoiced. However, his joy was shortlived, because almost immediately, a joint-fleet of Republic ships and ships of Empress Teta arrived to destroy Sadow and his devastated fleet. The Dark Lord fled across the galaxy, finally ending up at Denarii Nova, and waited there to engage the huge fleet. But, Sadow realized he had some Sith followers on some of their ships. He ordered them to attack their lords, in the name of Sith. And thus, Lord Sadow was able to escape, destroying the supernova-ing the double star Denarii Nova and its entire star system in the process.
