Biography.
Her, otherwise known as #@%$ $%@#, was a Force-sensitive Human female who reigned as a Dark Lord of the Sith at the turn of the ninth-century. To some it is believed that she is the alter ego of
Alicia Drey
, and the ancient Sith Master,
Darth Ayra
. A former member of the Old Jedi Order, Her became a follower of the Rule of Two: a Sith ideology created by Darth Bane several millennia ago which teaches that there should only be two Sith Lords; a Sith Master to embody power, and a Sith Apprentice to crave it.A fallen Jedi Knight who turned to the Dark side of the Force following the capitulation and defeat of the Old Republic to the Ninth Sith Empire (also referred to as the One Sith), Her became the Sith Apprentice of a mysterious, enigmatic figure called The Nomad. Otherwise known as Darth Mendacium, the pair enacted the beginning of a new Grand Plan to destroy the Jedi on the planet Kalist VI in the last city of an ancient race of Humanoids thought to have gone extinct during the Four-Hundred Year Darkness.
Shrouded in mystery, and falsehoods, the origins, whereabouts and subsequent tales surrounding the figure only referred to as 'Her' are convoluted, and shrouded by the power of the dark side for a Sith Master should never reveal him, or herself.
-- Darth Bane.
Personality and Beliefs.
Her is a devout believer in the Rule of Two: a philosophy invented by the legendary Sith'ari known as Darth Bane. The philosophy teaches that there should only be two Sith at one time, and that if there are more than the two then the power of the Dark side of the Force becomes diluted among the many therefore leading to it losing it's potency and becoming weak. Bane teaches that there should be a Sith Master: a Sith Lord brimming with the power of the dark side and a true manifestation of a being who adheres to the true tenants of the Sith Code.
Wise and cunning in the creation of such a philosophy Bane also taught that there should be a Sith Apprentice: another Sith Lord who serves the Master in a dichotomy where the latter serves the former in a relationship in which they are taught about not only the Rule of Two but also about the Dark side of the Force. In this way, should the Master be destroyed by their enemies, another is there to continue the Grand Plan to destroy the Jedi. Also, in the event that the Apprentice should surpass the Master in strength, and power, then they are encouraged to challenge their Master for their position.
In victory the Apprentice proves that the Master was no longer worthy of their position, or life, and in this way the position retains it's strength, power and potency. In failure the Apprentice proves that they were unworthy of the position, and their life, leading to such a dichotomy to be shared by a new pairing.
In a time in which the Galaxy is inhabited by many Jedi, Her seeks the complete and utter destruction of the Jedi Order. She believes that the destruction of the Jedi Order cannot be accomplished through military warfare, tactics and strategy. That an invasion of governments-- such as the Galactic Alliance-- will not lead to the Sith ruling the cosmos which, according to Her, can only be achieved through the destruction of the Jedi and their various sects found across the known Galaxy.
Therefore, following in the same footsteps of Darth Bane, Her seeks the destruction of the Sith Order first. Her believes that the modern day Sith are weak and are false imitations. Through the destruction of the modern day Sith, Her believes that she can then reorganize the Sith Order into following the pathology of the Rule of Two. In this way the Sith can then accomplish their several millennia old desire to accomplish revenge against the Jedi and achieve supremacy not only over the entire Galaxy, but over the Force itself.
To that end Her's beliefs were further proven (at least to her) during the Siege of Tion: a battle that she orchestrated alongside a spy which led to the modern day Sith Order attacking the Tion system which ultimately led to the destruction of the planet Tion. If the Sith were devout in the true tenants of the dark side then, according to Her's rationale, they would be focused on the destruction of the Jedi Order and not territorial disputes with another galactic superpower in the form of the Empire of the Lost.
Her believes that the potency of the dark side has been lost over several millennia since the days of Darth Bane. To that end Her engages in work that leads to damaging, and then ultimately, the destruction of the Sith Order with the belief that as there becomes less Sith in the Galaxy the power of the Dark side of the Force becomes less diluted, and therefore more powerful in it's potency as a result.
As she pursues this work Her also seeks influence, power and esoteric knowledge about the Force in her bid to shape the Grand Plan: a plot first initiated by her late Master and now continued by her after his disappearance. She also believes that through acquiring influence in superpowers (such as the Empire of the Lost) that she can further facilitate and orchestrate events that will lead to the destruction of the Sith Order through her acquisitions. To that end Her continues to pursue this belief by garnering contacts, affiliations and associates in multiple organisations across the Galaxy.
During her apprenticeship under the mysterious guidance of Darth Mendacium, Her was taught that a Sith Master never reveals him or herself. Therefore, after Mendacium disappeared, the knowledge of her Darth title, former identity and origins were subsequently lost and known only to her.
Her also believes in a prophecy that was imparted to her by her late Sith Master. It said that a day will come where it will rain on the planet Kalist VI. When this day comes it will mark a great period of change in the Galaxy. Her inferred that this change (with the guidance of Darth Mendacium) will mark the beginning of a new era in which the Rule of Two is, once again, the dominant philosophy practiced by the Sith Order after it has been reconstituted and reorganized by Her, or, by her Sith Apprentice.
This event is colloquially known to Her as: the Rains have come.
-- Darth Mendacium.
Legacy.
At the turn of the ninth-century Her revealed herself to
Maldor Mecetti
on the planet Voss and elaborated on the series of events that had affected his military career within the Empire of the Lost since he was exiled from the Galactic Alliance. Here, Her explained that the former Staff Director of the New Imperial Security Bureau had been a spy working on her behalf inside the Empire, and that the Sith apprenticeship he had entered into following the Convocation of Sojourn was a manufactured event in order to bring him into the Rule of Two. Later, the pair would enter a pilgrimage to Kalist VI in order to take Darth Ayra's Sith Holocron which had been left behind in A City Lost to Time following the disappearance of The Nomad in the Taris system. Secretly Her was apart of the coup d'état which saw Velran Kilran become the defacto head-of-state and self proclaimed, 'HIS MAJESTY OF ALL IMPERIAL KIND', after he murdered the Old Imperial Ruling Council on Lianna. Following this political revolution Her conspired with Kilran to maintain control of his new Empire by creating a manufactured crisis that would solidify his position as Emperor. During a war council meeting convened by
Darth Empyrean
, Her sent
Alicia Drey
under the disguise as a member of the Tsis'Kaar in order to spy on the meeting. However, Drey (who was secretly a defective clone) attempted to dissuade Empyrean from attacking the Empire of the Lost, and after she was exposed by a delegate sent by the Trade Federation of Planets (in conjunction with an esoteric Force-power) drew the wrath of the Eleventh Sith Empire on the then Imperial aligned world of Tion which resulted in its destruction. The subsequent loss of the Tion system-- combined by economic damage leftover by the fallout; a trade embargo by the Trade Federation; and a refugee crisis-- caused severe losses for the Empire of the Lost which later gave an opportunity for the formation of the Tingel Arm Coalition: a rebellion formed against the Empire made up of former members of the Lothal Protectorate; dissident followers of the New Jedi Order; and other freedom fighters who wanted to liberate the planet Lothal, and other star systems occupied by the Imperial Remnant. The rebellion later led to the death of Velran Kilran (who died protecting the Lothal system during a space battle) and the coronation of
Kaanni Ugaiya Kilran
whom succeeded her father as the new PHANTOM EMPRESS.In 902 ABY, Her manufactured the SARTINAYNIAN CRISIS on Bastion after manipulating the Fifth Wing into framing the Empire of the Lost, and another galactic power known as, 'THE DIARCHY', into acts of war by impersonating her former spy in the organisation after it had been purged of her influence by
Darth Malum of House Marr
. Despite Malum's purge of the organisation, the Fifth Wing were still used by Her after she infiltrated a secretive communication system used by members of the conspiracy under the alias of, 'LAETOR', to manufacture a crisis in the Sartinaynian system to capture
Diarch Rellik
and
Diarch Reign
