- Description:
Ashaottoi is an ancient Sith word that fulfilled the same gap in language as "May The Force Be With You". "Asha" means victory and it is combined with "ottoi" as dative noun marker. It essentially means "To Victory" or "Upon Victory", similarly to how Qoritottoi means "Until Death" or "Upon Death", but is less of a Rallying Cry and more of a discreet word of encouragement. Likewise, it is not often in use due to its nature, but more spiritually or academically inclined make frequent use of it among their rabble.
It is found in a variety of old Sith Writings and information, from ancient datapads all the way to holocrons.
- Author: The origin of it isn't exactly clear but is used in rather great frequency after Sith Teachings began to fully take form and become less esoteric.
- Publisher: Several
- Reception: It never did take up any space in mainstream teachings and was more of a niche saying among more educated Sith that have taken the time to delve into their history.
Ashaottoi is often used interchangeably in some writings with Qoritottoi, though this is often thought of as a misinterpretation by such writers that do not understand the actual use of it.

CONTENT INFORMATION
"Blood upon the battle field,
The Force running strong,
Black burns scatter upon bodies,
When the battle is over,
It has only begun,
Ashaottoi,"
- An Excerpt from an incomplete, corrupted datapad from the musings of an ancient Sith Lord from an old ruined temple.
"... To all that we have lost, we only gain in strength. Pain does not stop us, Jedi. Pain leads us to power. To Victory! Ashaottoi!"
- An incorrect use of it but is fitting for the context, made by a scribe retelling the death of the Sith Lord to a Jedi
"To our triumph, my apprentices. Do not fail me. Ashaottoi..."
- A Sith Lord, giving out one last speech to his Sith Assassins before sending them out on a mission.
"To all those that read this, tell the new Sith to not mourn the death of old kin. Qoritottoi.... Ashaottoi...."
- The last message of the same Sith Lord as the previous excerpt.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
It's creation is rather unknown but it is often wrongly speculated that it is derivative of Qoritottoi, but it seems to have been created and used around the same era. Its use peaked a several millennia after but soon sunk drastically as the Sith once more, went back into the shadows.
