HISTORICAL INFORMATION
This is Velok's tenth book, and his first since he edited the anthology Principles and Ethics of the Dark Side in 857 ABY. He spent the seven-year gap in comfortable retirement among the Toglannoq of the Temorzhai Ridge, farting around with various half-finished manuscripts and rituals. His resentful alpha reader was his grandson, Velok the Youngest, called Brokentusk.

- Description: This book profiles Hethrir, the Empire's Procurator of Justice and one of its strongest Dark Jedi. While somewhat biographical, the book focuses on Hethrir's unique Force abilities. Velok the Younger had nothing but contempt for Hethrir, but found his abilities - as recorded by some of Hethrir's many students - fascinating. The research draws on heretofore-undiscovered primary sources, including interrogated souls. It is Velok the Younger's tenth book.
- Author: Velok the Younger
- Publisher: Self
- Reception: It was written for the Sith; you'd have to ask them.
- The book is bound in leather and printed on nearly-indestructible archival plastic.
"Let there be no doubt that Lord Hethrir, as a person and a leader, deserves no recognition but contempt. He committed the genocide of his own species, the Firrerreo, in a pathetic attempt to be recognized as human by the Empire's top humanocentrists. When the mother of his child rejected him, he tortured her for five years out of petty spite. He was a slave trader who focused on buying and selling children in the full knowledge that most were destined to die horribly. He cultivated only the most sniveling sycophants as his power base - an exaggerated echo of the sycophancy with which he served Palpatine. Thoughtless greed placed him in a lethally weak position, and his greatest ally turned on him for his failures."
"Hethrir is a key example of a Dark Lord who placed ambition and pride and power in the Force above common sense. He allowed the Dark Side to twist his thinking without a sense of proportion. And yet his specific abilities are worth study, even emulation, if one applies proper judgment. He had the tools to be great. In this book, his tools outlive him."

The book explores, in replicable detail, several key abilities peculiar to Hethrir:
- One was the power to suppress Force bonds so delicately and completely that a Force-sensitive mother was unable to sense that her nearby Force-sensitive children were in distress and being kidnapped. He also demonstrated this ability while preventing a Force-bonded dyad from communicating with each other or even feeling each other's presence.
- Another was the power to 'steal time' - not by actual temporal manipulation, but by putting groups of people in a state of mundane unawareness for hours despite nearby explosions. They were then equally unaware that hours had passed.
- Hethrir also had a good deal of skill at dampening Force use. He was capable of suppressing Force use for multiple Force-sensitive children at range, remaining constantly aware of all but the smallest-scale Force use and then clamping down as needed. His Dampen Force skills were sufficient to interrupt basic Force shields.
- And last but not least, Hethrir understood that the agony of a Force-sensitive (his tortured fallen-Jedi ex-wife, Rillao) could disrupt interstellar Force tracking. A Forcer on his trail found that, when Hethrir's ship passed through Rillao's location, Rillao's pain completely obliterated the trail.
