Records of the Resurgent Sith Conclave

The Rule of Unity is a new Sith philosophy, preached and formulated by the Hierarch, since he was Jen'ari of the Blackguard. Malvus has long felt that the death of a Sith, even one capable, is a detriment to a whole cause. Even in defeat, one may prove useful if given a chance to prove themselves. Only traitors and defectors deserve to die. This philosophy was professed and educated to his apprentice, Darth Luxeria, who utilized a poison to cut her master's connection from the Force, during her trial to prove herself worthy of elevation. Despite demanding that she end his life, as a means to provoke her and to see if she truly learned from his teachings, Luxeria did not end her master. She would not follow the ways of the Old Sith and end her master's life just because he was defeated. She is the first example of proof of the Rule of Unity's success and grant the philosophy some much needed merit. Despite his defeat, Malvus remained Jen'ari and continued to serve well in this office. Thus, the Rule was proven successful in practice than just on paper.

Some of the meanings and understandings of the Rule of Unity are ambiguous and left to interpretation. For instance, it does not state that all Sith must be united under one banner. It could mean a cause of the Dark Side, united in a common goal. It does not indication unification under one leader either, but rather it can be interpreted that the leadership must be united, no matter what faction the Rule of Unity is obeyed by.

The following are the words of Darth Malvus, in his holocron, concerning the philosophy and mandate:

Unlike the territories of its former allegiance, the Blackguard Imperium, the Resurgent Sith Conclave keeps a focus namely within the Sith Worlds, the ancient core of old empires such as Darth Revan, Ajunta Pall, Darth Vitiate, and such. Here, the old homeworld of the Sith, Korriban, lies, alongside Ziost and more. Beyond that, the Conclave keeps secret outposts on the worlds of Dathomir and Thule. Despite this smaller slice of territory, each world has a significance and boosts an importance to the Conclave. Worlds, such as Thule and Dromund Kaas, have industries to help fuel a war machine. Dathomir is one of the ideal locations for recruits to the Dark Side, given the presence of Nightbrothers and Nightsisters on the surface.

Korriban

Planetary Guide

Also known as Pesegam during the reign of Xim, and also known as Moraband by the time of the Clone Wars, Korriban was the sole planet in the Horuset system, located across the galaxy from Koros Major. It was the original homeworld of the Sith species and a sacred planet for the Sith Order, housing the tombs for many ancient and powerful Dark Lords of the Sith, and containing immense dark side power.

Korriban serves as the center of power for the Resurgent Sith Conclave. Upon its surface lies the ancient Fanged Acropolis, a fortress that dates back to the Old Sith Empire, likely before the time of Ajunta Pall, if not after the arrival of the Exiles. As the beating heart of the Conclave, its leadership mostly directs daily business and issues orders from its barren surface. The Circle of Knowledge has much to gain from scouring the tombs and mausoleums for ancient secrets of the Dark Side. There are plans to revive the long abandoned cities of Kaniset and Vardin in the hopes of providing a firm foundation for manpower in the future.

Ziost

Planetary Guide

Sometimes referred to as the "Gateway to the Empire" in the days of the Old Republic, Ziost was a world made up of ancient dark forests and barren tundra. However, the trees withered away and the planet became very similar, in landscape, to Korriban. Much of the planet was covered in ice. Not only was it a focal point of the dark side, but it was also the adopted homeworld and Imperial capital of the Sith species, who left their original homeworld, Korriban, as a graveyard world after the death of their leader Adas.

Eventually it became a major Sith buffer world during the days of Vitiate's Sith Empire before being forgotten entirely.

It previously was the lair of @supremeleader , where diabolical experiments were conducted. After it was taken out of the hands of the Blackguard, Ziost became the fortified headquarters of the Inquisition, the lair of the Executioners and their dreaded Grand Inquisitor. The old citadel is now a feared fortress, festering with assassins, inquisitors, and others who anyone would dread knowing they were being watched by one of these agents. The capital of New Adasta, a shadow of its former glory, lives under constant surveillance of these eyes and ears of the Conclave, from their old Sith Citadel nearby.

Dromund Kaas

Planetary Guide

Dromund Kaas was the third planet of the Dromund system, a star system located in the Sith Worlds—a region of the Outer Rim Territories's Esstran sector that was enclosed in the nebula known as the Stygian Caldera. Dromund Kaas had two moons and orbited the star Dromund, and it lay along the Kamat Krote hyperspace route between the planets Jaguada and Bosthirda.

By the time of the Great Hyperspace War with the Galactic Republic, Dromund Kaas was largely covered by jungles, and oceans. When the survivors of the old Sith Empire arrived on the planet in 4980 BBY, they were forced to tame the seemingly endless jungles and fend off the planet's violent predators in order to establish their society, and the planet remained largely jungles, oceans, and swamps other than the metropolis of Kaas City and other locations on the surface. Dromund Kaas' atmosphere was also heavily charged with electricity to the point that lightning was a near-constant sight in the almost perpetually clouded sky; a result of the Sith Emperor's experiments in arcane and forbidden uses of the dark side of the Force.

Since the time of the resurgent Sith Empire, it would become the headquarters of a sect known as the Dark Force, and later, the Prophets of the Dark Side, adherents of a Sith called Darth Millennial, a heretic of the Banite Sith. This cult was later revived by another individual, claiming to be the Reborn Millennial, who claimed Dromund Kaas as his lair. The Blackguard Imperium launched a fierce campaign that saw the sect utterly destroyed.

Eventually, Dromund Kaas witnessed a violent takeover of the planet when the Conclave launched its independence movement. After the conflict ended, Kaas City became the location of offices for the Praetor's Circles. Primarily the Circle of Advancement utilizes the shipyards of Dromund Kalakar and the Circle of Knowledge extracts lost lore and history from the various Sith temples on its surface. Efforts are being done to revive the population of the once proud capital of the resurgent Sith Empire and to make its industry roar once more.

Thule

Planetary Guide

Thule was the innermost planet of the Thurra system, a remote star system situated upon the western flanks of the Stygian Caldera in the Esstran sector of the Outer Rim. Thule shared its star Thurra with the gas giant Enenpa, and was itself orbited by Sivvi, a captured asteroid which served as Thule's sole natural satellite. Thule rotated on its axis every thirty-eight standard hours and orbited Thurra every four hundred and fifty-nine standard days on average.

Thule was a dry and arid terrestrial world possessed of a Type I atmosphere and standard gravity. Apart from a few arable regions that hosted the bulk of the planet's cities and farms, Thule's surface was barren and covered with a thick carpet of charred gray rock and fine sand. Its landscape was primarily characterized by blackened hills, rich savannas, rocky plains, and wind-hollowed canyons punctuated at length by tall, natural spires. Despite heavy cloud cover that birthed both frequent windstorms and protracted bouts of colored lightning, Thule experienced fewer than fifty days of rain per year.

It's significance to the Sith lies with the Force Nexus that ensures that the planet is steeped in the Dark Side of the Force. It has been a hidden Sith fortress world for most of its history, consistently serving as a redoubt and resource for many generations of Sith. Becoming a fortified stronghold of the Sith, it would go on to serve a purpose under the banners of Exar Kun, Darth Revan, the resurgent Sith Empire of Vitiate, and the Banite Sith, including Darth Tyrannus (i.e. Count Dooku) and the Confederacy, before vanishing from the records after the fall of the Galactic Empire.

Thule had remained untouched for many years, since an Imperial, named John Tien, ruled its surface. After his disappearance, a military junta took control prior to the arrival of the Conclave. Thule was to be the first major conquest of the Resurgent Sith sect that would see the junta dismantled and planet brought to heel under the Hierarch's authority. It has since become a major source of manpower and industry, especially with the presence of the Armory, an expansive complex of weapons and factories. It's Sith Academy is once more occupied by the presence of Novices and Acolytes of the Sith Order.
