Evil Dark Lords and Pretty Pony Princesses

Darth Marr’s Rise to Power

783 BBY: A small child is born to a Human and Anzat Couple – they are ostracized from the Anzat community and exiled to unknown parts.

777 BBY: The child begins training to become an assassin like its Anzat Father.

770 BBY: The Child shows exceptional power in the Force when it suddenly lashes out at its father during a Training exercise. The Child is then shown how to bring its new-found power under control by its mother. The father, unwilling to teach such an abomination anything about its past or its people, leaves.

768 BBY: The Child and its Mother fly into the unknown regions of space in search of a better teacher. They stumble upon something much greater than either would have thought possible.

767 BBY: The Child and Mother are officially inducted into the Sith culture by the Council of Lords Led by the Grand Lord. They settled on Kesh and quickly learned the ways of the Sith. The Child’s Training then took off with the aid of competent teachers. The Mother was also able to sharpen her skills.

745 BBY: The Child is given the name Marr, a name given to one other Dark Lord in the annals of Sith History. The child, now a man of 38 standard years and a squad of other Sith under him, outpaces the Mother by leaps and bounds.

727 BBY: Marr and his Mother are gifted a ship, the Eloi, a Fury-class interceptor, and told to find the homeworld of their ancestors.

723 BBY: They find the planet, which they find to be named Korriban. Marr, his mother, and his few soldiers search the valley of lords for anything they could possibly take back to their superiors. When excavating a tomb, a horde of Tukatta rush them and overwhelm many of their fighters. Marr comes out victorious over his foes but finds that his Mother and many of his soldiers have died in the ambush. At the sight of his Mother broken upon the red grit of Korriban, Marr unleashed a maelstrom of Darkside energies into the air, he tore asunder the great tomb of Ajunta Paul. He then gathered the few remaining soldiers under his command and left for Kesh.

687 BBY: Marr is gifted the title of Master, and is given leave to take on his own apprentices at his leisure.

681 BBY: Marr strikes down a member of the Council when they are found guilty of treason against the Sith peoples. He is granted their seat as a reward for his services to the Grand Lord. He takes on the monicker Darth Marr – The Bloody-Handed Sith, do to his signature way of killing his opponents; expanding their blood-vessels until they ruptured under the strain.

634 BBY: Darth Marr trains his seventeenth Apprentice and becomes renown as one of the greatest teachers the Empire had ever known.

598 BBY: Darth Marr creates his own circle of masters and sabers under his direct control. Away from the Council, they act as his personal forces. The Council of Lords takes exception to this but says nothing.

583 BBY: Darth Marr celebrates his two-hundredth Birthday.

579 BBY: Darth Marr, under orders from the Grand Lord, takes his men and a detachment of soldiers to a nearby planet, they set up a small outpost. They quickly furnish it in such a way that colonization would be possible.

531 BBY: Darth Mar’s personal forces reach to the hundreds in manpower. The council grows weary and issues a proclamation; all Council members may only house a hundred Sith, anymore must be placed under the purview of the Grand Lord.

530 BBY: The proclamation backfires, Darth Marr is given even more soldiers by writ of the Grand Lord, the council is infuriated.

526 BBY: Darth Marr is ambushed by several members of the Council. With nary a scratch to him, Marr appears triumphant over his foes. Several seats on the council are filled by his own soldiers. The Grand Lord is infuriated by the acts of the previous council members, hence his appointment of Marr’s most loyal forces.

490 BBY: in his sleep, the ancient Grand Lord dies, natural causes are more than apparent. All mourn his loss. Darth Marr secretly plans a celebration of the life the Grand Lord had lived, his life and current standing all there in thanks to the ancient being.

489 BBY: A new Grand Lord is chosen, many lament that fact that Marr did not request a running position in the draw.

483 BBY: Darth Marr Celebrates his three-hundredth Birthday. Darth Marr’s influence in the Sith culture is apparent, more than half the peoples of Kesh follow his less aggressive ideals of the Sith, more tolerance, and less unrestrained aggression.

479 BBY: Darth Marr is propositioned by a beautiful Kehsirie woman, they fall in love afterward and miraculously have a child.

475 BBY: Darth Marr goes on a rampage across Kesh looking for the assassin that slew his wife and their three-year-old child. The world of Kesh trembles at the might of one of their eldest Sith Lords.

474 BBY: After a year-long search, Marr apprehends the assassin. The public trial and later execution of the assassin grants Marr an even more respectable image within the mind’s eye of the public. All the Lords and Ladies of the Sith, High and Low cast, rain upon him accolades for his ‘honorable’ dealings with the assassin.

439 BBY: Darth Marr expands the reach of the Sith, using a highly unorthodox way of capturing ships from outer space and bringing them down to Kesh, he expands their fleets.

427 BBY: Darth Marr sets out on an expedition with seven thousand Sith to colonize a new world. Incidentally, they fall upon Ziost and Thule. With no way of knowing how they got there, or how they would get back, Marr issued orders to investigate the rest of the star system, search for other inhabitable planets and such.

419 BBY: The Following systems soon fell under Sith occupation, however light it was: Thurra, Ziost, Horuset, and Mirial. Thurra, Ziost, and Hourset all held strong Sithly influences, but as Darth Marr demanded, they did not proclaim their affiliations with the Sith openly. They knew of their people’s reputation in the universe as evil monsters out to get the peoples of the galaxy. So they bide their time and increased their numbers.

417 BBY: Cultural laws were placed down by Darth Marr for his new people; one of which was that all women were to be treated as if they were the most precious of gifts. But, they were to never take a husband and were to lay with as many males as possible and produce children for the new kingdom they were building. None dared question Marr on his reasoning, but when he was, it was simple genetics that fueled his decision.

405 BBY: Population of Marr’s colony expands from seven thousand to almost twenty thousand in twelve short years. Life among the colonies is sedate and peaceful.

393 BBY: Marr is crowned Liege-Lord of the Colonies. Marr is surprised, yet humbled by his people’s decision. The population has risen from twenty thousand to thirty-seven thousand. Young girls across a small colony in Sivvi are impregnated by a deviant. Marr and several trusted guards hunt him down and deal with him severely. The people of Sivvi regard their Lord as a hero and proclaim the day of the deviant’s death as a planetary holiday.

392 BBY: Darth Marr adopts several of the children that were products of the rape, most mothers of these children did not survive the birthing process. These ‘Children of Marr’ soon became symbols of their leader’s benevolence. Darth Marr fathers them, treats them with the same care he would have provided his own children had he any.

386 BBY: A ship of republic make comes out of light speed and streaks across the skies of Ziost. The ship crash lands in the northeastern hemisphere. Marr sends out a platoon of soldiers to deal with the survivors. The group comes back with over a seventy individuals from the crash, several of which are of different species. They are, relatively, quickly brought into society. None question their veracity, as it would be more than suicide to go against the Sith Colonies of Marr.

379 BBY: Population spikes to ninety-two thousand. The first child born of interspecies relations is had, the entire civilization is rocked at this phenomenon, a rush to preserve their new allies is made. Several breakthroughs in genetics is made within the year and a host of new couples begin plans to have children of their own.

250 BBY: Darth Mar celebrates his five hundred and thirty-third birthday. The population of the Colonies reaches an all-time high, seven hundred and sixty thousand.

231 BBY: A skirmish between the Colonies and an unknown alien vessel caused the Colonies of Marr to solidify their standing in the Galaxy. Among themselves, they reached a consensus to become a true empire, while on the outside going by a different name entirely. Thus became the Neo-Sith Empire and The Conglomerate Systems of Marr. Under both names, Darth Marr was proclaimed leader. The Miralain people of Mirial did not mind the inclusion into the Conglomerate, especially after talks between their planets senator and Marr cleared up many an issue the Mirialian peoples had.

214 BBY: Population of the CSM/NSE skyrockets with the full induction of almost half the Mirialian population. Numbers reach into the hundreds of millions overnight.

209 BBY: Darth Marr begins construction on a massive set of shipyards over Ziost and Thule. The entirety of the Galaxy is struck by this undertaking by such a new power. All nations of the Galaxy are weary of this new predicament but do not publicly question the motivations behind this new development. Population Census ends: three hundred and sixteen million, eight hundred and seventy-six thousand two hundred souls reside within the empire.

192 BBY: Darth Marr receives an interesting vision from the Force, but does not speak of it with anyone. Population increases to an estimated seven hundred million. Interbreeding produces interesting results as most children who have been the product of interbreeding found to have a higher connection to the Force than normal. Darth Marr takes a consort, but it is found that she is infertile. Neither minds this and adopts one of the many orphans in the small empire.

189 BBY: Construction of the Ship Yards in both Ziost and Thule are completed. Production of their first ships begins immediately. The ships in production are ancient in design but hardier than most anything that the Republic, or its allies, field.

186 BBY: Darth Marr takes his first apprentice in several hundred years. The Empire solidifies its armies, creating a formidable fighting force. Where the entire population of Marr’s colonies had once all been fighters, now most were content to use their skills in mock combat for entertainment and training purposes. In less than a year, the army forms and several hundred thousand sentients rush to into its service.

184 BBY: The army stands at four hundred and seventy thousand souls. Ziost and Thule have produced their first batch of ships, twenty Atgeir-Class Battlecruisers. The Galaxy marvels at such a feat, as many nations remember the Republics challenge at even trying to field one of the massive ships.

183 BBY: Darth Marr celebrates his six-hundredth birthday. The entire realm rejoices at his long life and heralds him as a hero of the people for all he had done for them. The entire Mirialian people throw a planet-wide celebration; Marr is both Humbled and awestruck by the dedication of his allies and their people. He announces a realm wide holiday – Liberty Day.

179 BBY: Korriban opens its ninth academy for the Gifted(read Sith Academy) and invites much of the population to attend these buildings as a secondary learning experience. Much of the CSM/NSE is Force Sensitive but has little to no training save for those given attention by the House of Lords and other lower masters.

163 BBY: Whispers of war spread through the Conglomerate, but nothing comes of them but a heightened sense of paranoia from the people, and a more rigid set of patrols. Population reaches one billion, a systems-wide celebration is passed to mark the occasion. Much debauchery ensues and the population explodes overnight as millions of families produce offspring. A new law passes that allows women and men to form true family units within the Conglomerate’s society, it passes with some hesitation from the High Lords and Ladies of the realm. Cohabitation and unity spring forth like a tidal wave and sweeps the nation off its feet. A supreme golden age is brought forth.

132 BBY: A single Jedi, by the name of Yaddle, comes before the Dark Lord, seeking answers to questions long since asked and answered over the last five hundred years. Seeing an opportunity for cohabitation to commence, Darth Marr invites the aged creature to walk with him through the halls of his small palace. They talk and debate the nature of the Force. They talk disciplines, both Jedi, Sith, and others that they had personally encountered. They talked of things that worked for each sect of Force Users, and what didn’t. They became so engrossed in their talks that their shields had come down, both accidentally revealed themselves to each other. Granted, Marr already knew to whom he spoke. The small Master was visibly shaken when she figured out why it was all Jedi had distrusted the man standing before her for so long. He was Sith, and he was powerful. Darth Marr stopped all needless violence with one simple question though, ‘Why not live in peace? We do not wish to conquer, and we have enough on our own to sustain our growing population indefinitely. You and I both know how many Force Sensitives live within my borders, I simply wish to see my people free of the great evils of the Universe, and then free of want. I would not begrudge working with the Jedi to better ourselves, your Order is far older than mine after all.’

129 BBY: Three years after the meeting with Yaddle, Marr and several of his most trusted, and level-headed, officers travel to the center of the Galactic Republic. Coruscant. There they meet with the Supreme Chancellor, his advisers, the Grand Master of the Jedi, and several of its most renown masters. Marr accepted a Senate seat and placed his Consort as its sole occupant until someone could be better trained to take up the mantle. Marr then talked with the Jedi. Tempers rose on both sides, but both Darth Marr and Grand Master Yoda kept emotions form simmering over. By the end, a simple camaraderie had been established with at least half of each delegation with the other. The other half of both delegations simply opted to glare and pout at each other. Both sides agreed to a truce, and a possible exchange program at a much later time after intentions had been made clear.

121 BBY: Marr sends ten masters and their apprentices to the Jedi temple on Coruscant, while the Jedi do the same in return. Tensions raise unexpectedly when both ships meet in real space just outside the Bandomeer System. They come under attack from a whole fleet of pirate ships. Most of the Jedi are captured when they evacuate the ship they are on, it had sustained heavy damage upon forced reentry to real space. Several Sith died in the boarding action, but the rest are captured and ransomed alongside the Jedi. In a show of unity, Both Jedi and Sith form a unique detachment of troops that combine upon meeting to save the captured members of their orders. Both Marr and Yoda headed the rescue mission, neither willing to forgive the actions of those that would hurt their students.

115 BBY: The Jedi and Sith manage to build a system of trust amongst themselves, though the greater Galaxy does not know of the Sith’s reemergence. Yoda and Marr have both found that those being taught under both practices of the Force seem to have a better moral grounding than those that only have one side of the proverbial coin to pull from, and then they create a much larger exchange program. Peace reigns within the Galactic community. The population of the Conglomerate reaches a new High within its golden age – three billion souls now reside within its borders the largest community outside of the Mid Rim and a select few outer rim sectors.

94 BBY: Darth Marr, Liege-Lord of the Neo-Sith Empire celebrates his six hundredth and eighty-ninth birthday. Yoda and Marr hold a special conference and speak on the advantages of revealing the Sith to the Galaxy at large.

83 BBY: Darth Marr Celebrates his seven-hundredth Birthday and puts to rest his loving consort after almost a hundred years of love and happiness. The entire Empire, a select few Jedi, and a few Senators mourn the passing of a truly great friend.

82 BBY: Sheev Palpatine is born.

71 BBY: The Neo-Sith Empire has constructed a total of thirty Agier-Class Battlecruisers, three hundred Terminus-Class Destroyers, seventy Cal-Class Battleships, Thirty-Eight Sith Destroyers, and a host of smaller carriers and other support vessels. Their Armada is vast, and the largest the Galaxy has seen. But with the resources Marr has at his fingertips, he does not want for materials for construction.

53 BBY: Sheev Palpatine is fully inducted into the Banite Sith under Darth Plagueis. Marr and Yoda do not know of this insidious seduction, but they feel a heavy veil fall over the Force. They know that dark times, not just for themselves but the entire galaxy, are ahead of them.

41 BBY: Anakin Skywalker is born

32 BBY: Anakin Skywalker, Obi-wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Gin, and a host of other important individuals meet for the first time. The battle for Theed happens, Qui-Gon dies, The Trade Federation takes a hit, and Anakin is inducted into the ranks of the Jedi. Obi-wan takes him as his Padawan learner.

22 BBY: The Clone Wars begin and plunge the Galaxy into a Civil War the likes they have not seen in Millennia. Yoda and Marr meet after the events of Geonosis and speak on the ramifications of other Sith Orders in the Galaxy at large. The fact that Marr knows of Kesh, but will not say its exact location, does not help. Marr does give evidence that the Sith behind it are not the same ones he used to live with; ‘If they were, they would have found me out and killed me by now Master Yoda… None is more dangerous than a Sith Scorned!’

19 BBY: Darth Marr, after helping with as much of the Jedi’s war effort as he could while staving off the Confederate horde, feels a sharp plunge in his gut from the Force. Within hours he learnt that the Jedi have been betrayed and that a Galaxy spanning empire has taken the Republics place as the greatest Super Power in the Galaxy. Marr is rocked to his core. The Dark Lord then takes up his mantle of Darth with renewed vigor and searches out all Jedi in the Galaxy, rescuing them from the clutches of the new Galactic Empire. Many Jedi do not make the Purge, only a handful are rescued by Marr and his Armada of ships. Luke and Leia Are born to Anakin and Padma Skywalker.

12 BBY: Darth Marr and a man in black armor who calls himself Darth Vader duel on the planet Mandalore when evidence of Clone Wars era Refugee’s is found. The Dark Lord gives enough time to the refugees to escape before he has to deal fatally with the Dark Lord. Liege-Lord of the Neo-Sith massively underestimates the black-garbed creature and is almost fatally wounded. Darth Marr only manages to escape when a gunship manned by several of his own students drops in suddenly to distract the Dark Lord. Many die as they move to rescue their Liege-Lord.

9 BBY: Marr brings a good portion of his Forces to bare when he hears of a Rebellion forming against the Empire. He reinforces as many of the Rebelling Systems as he can, but his Empire does not hold the required resources to build so many ships in such a short amount of time.

7 BBY: Darth Marr meets with the leaders of the Rebel Alliance for the first time. Princess Leia Organa, Mon Mothma, Garm Bel Iblis, Bail Organa and a few others stand before him, each surprised and fearful of his true position in the Galaxy. They talk, Marr reveals his long-standing relationship with the Jedi of old. Things progress in an upward direction from there.

0 BBY: The Liege-Lord of the Sith hears of a massive battle taking place from one of his officers within the Alliance High Command. He does not send any forces, as they are preoccupied with a different war front. When he feels a massive loss of life, a second in almost a weeks time, he rushes to the Rebel’s closest base and demands an explanation as to the nature of the deaths. He quickly learned of the destruction of both Alderran and a massive space station called the death star. When he hears of who destroyed it, he almost falls out of his chair.

1 ABY: Lord Marr, as he is now more commonly referred, meets with the ‘Farmboy’ that made the impossible shot. The young man is young, younger than he would have thought, though still the same age as Leia. Marr is also surprised at the amount of Lightside Energy coiled up within the young boy. To a practitioner of the Darkside, it is almost blinding. ‘Hello there! My names Luke Skywalker! Nice to meet ya!’ the boy says enthusiastically. Marr raises a brow at the last name, but says nothing in fear that he may be wrong; and with the force telling him nothing as of late, he knows not to say a thing. ‘Likewise young man, I am Marr, Liege-Lord of the Neo-Sith Empire, and the Conglomerate of system Colonies. Please, sit with me I wish to talk.’

3 ABY: After Hoth, Marr gets a message from Luke, telling him where he can find one of his once thought lost friends. Luke and Marr go on a trek to Dagobah. There the to meet up with Master Yoda and begin Luke’s training to become the next Jedi into motion. After the mission to rescue Leia and the rest of the group from Vaders clutches, Luke sends for Marr. The duo talk and Luke reveals his parentage, unwittingly also confirming Marr’s greatest suspicions of the boy’s origins. They talk at length and many things come of it, mainly a deeper friendship between the two men.

5 ABY: The New Galactic Republic is built, Marr and his systems become the First to join.

19 ABY: Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker are wed and brought before the ‘Dark Council’. They are given a gift of friendship by more than a few Lords and Ladies of the court. The couple, along with whatever family they might ever have, was more than welcome to live out their lives in the comfort of Marr’s palace. Marr extends the same invitation to Leia and her family.

22 Aby: After seventeen years of fighting, a semblance of peace is found in the Galaxy. Luke Skywalker has founded a new Jedi Order, one built on tolerance and common sense. The young Jedi Knight and Dark Lord became fast friends during the years leading up to the creation of the New Galactic Republic. Marr’s Force Sensitive population is enthused at the thought of a new Jedi Order to rise up and take the old’s place in the galaxy.

25 ABY: Horror strikes the entire Galaxy as a Foreign Race of invaders comes from beyond the darkest reaches of space to destroy everything the common people hold dear. Darth Marr, the Masters Skywalker, and their respective Orders band together to defend the Galaxy from the new threat. The Yuuzhan Vong war. Within the First year, Chewbacca was killed, a boon dropped on him by the enemy.

26 ABY: After fighting a disease wrought upon her by the Vong host, Mara Jade gave birth to the first child of the male Skywalker line – Ben Skywalker. Much rejoicing was had throughout the Empire and much of the New Republic.

27 ABY: Borsk Fey’lya dies at the first battle of Coruscant. Coruscant falls and is completely engulfed by the bong. Anakin Solo dies while defending his friends and siblings from the Vong threat while they escape the Myrkr World ship Baanu Rass. Several other Jedi die in the mission. Jacen Solo is captured by the Vong and tortured.

28 ABY: A creature by the name Vergere begins training Jacen, all unwittingly, in the ways of the Sith. Many Jedi have been hunted down and killed by the Vong, more systems fall to their might.

29 ABY: Word spreads about a living planet in the galaxy. Luke and the Jedi search it out while Marr and his forces distract the Vong away from the Jedi’s actions beyond explored space. Marr is captured by the Vong and held captive in one of the many torture chambers on Coruscant. The Vong Shapers experiment on his body, trying all sorts of biologicals on him, and an assortment of genetic changes. Seven months later, Zonama Sekot flashing into existence above Coruscant. Marr, fearing his friend’s survival, send a shout through the Force to try and dissuade him from his course of action. Luke disregards his friend’s words of warning and charges in any way with his friends and family. The battle for Coruscant last little over a week with small skirmishes exploding all over the surface. Marr is rescued by Jacen, Luke, and Mara. The war ends not long after and the galaxy begins to repair itself.

35 ABY: Killiks were discovered in the Galaxy again, and all hell broke loose. A war between the new Chiss ascendancy and the Killik colony worlds quickly engulfed a number of Jedi and Sith, chiefly the Skywalkers and Solos. Marr swiftly jumped to their defense and tried to help, but his injuries from the last war prevented him from fully committing himself to a new conflict, so he quietly bowed out to let his friends deal with the issue personally. Marr did, however, send soldiers to help with the war effort. Marr watched the war from the shadows and lent his young friends his advice when he could get it to them. Many a dangerous thing happened in the year and a half that encompassed the swarm war, and not all of it was by the hands of the Chiss and Killiks.

36 ABY: Allana Solo is born, but hidden away by Jacen and Tenel Ka, the child’s parents, before anyone finds out about her parentage. The Killik swarm war ends with the defeat of several dark Jedi that had hidden within the insect race. Many people were lost and never found, most notable of all deaths was Sien Sovv, a Sullust Supreme Commander form the Yuuzhan Vong war.

37 ABY: The Neo-Sith Empire rebuilds its navy, and adds a host of new ships from many of the mothballed fleets of the Galaxy. A fleet of Star-Destroyers joins them along with a few Super Star-Destroyers. Their ships are now legion with a population spike to match. Twelve billion souls under Imperial protection. The systems of the Empire now include Elom, Almania, Vaynia, Ruuria, Telos, Tiss’Sharl, Ord Radama, and the entirety of the Corporate sector. All systems that needed a helping hand in the area fell under the sway of Empirical purview as they enjoyed the peace the Empire brought them after the Vong war.

38 ABY: The latest census on the NSE has reaped an astounding number; Twelve Billion Three Hundred Million Seven Hundred and Sixty-Three Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighty-three sentients live within the Empire. Two million plus of these citizens are confirmed Force Sensitives and are quickly inducted into special schooling programs run by the Empire. Marr and his Sith are now the largest concentration of Force able beings in the entire Galaxy. No other Empire has ever held within its borders a number greater than that of trained Force Users.

40 ABY: Galactic stability is in shambles as Governments see threats where there are none, and seek to beat them back. Correlia and the Galactic Alliance come to an unease head as they begin fighting for their own version of peace. Corellia to be free. The GA to have a United Galaxy once more. In the midst of the turmoil, a plot develops that goes unnoticed by all parties. Save for Ben Skywalker and his Mother. After a series of events leading up to now, Mara Jade Skywalker cornered Jacen Solo, now Darth Caedus, in a tunnel on the planet Kavan in the Hapes Cluster. The two talked, Mara tried to dissuade Jacen form the path he was following, but failed and ended up fighting the New Sith Lord. Mara failed in her attempt to kill the Nubile Sith Lord, her life being penance for her failure. Marr and the rest of the Sith hear of Mara’s passing and fly into a rage at what has happened. They send out words of warning to all Jedi in the Galaxy … There is a Jedi hunter out there and it has already claimed a prize.

40 ABY: Luke, Marr, Ben, and many others figure out that Jacen was the one that had killed Mara Jade. The outrage at such a betrayal rocks the Galaxy. The Jedi and Neo-Sith are then demonized by the Galactic Alliance, and the Jedi split, the Order led by Look flea’s to Sith-controlled space while the rest takes roost on Galactic Alliance soil. Ben Skywalker becomes a spy and seeks out his Cousin to define the truth so that he might strike him down with justice. The Corellian alliance fails and dissolves. The Hapes Cluster is pulled back into the GA by Jacen. Marr and his forces spread this, they try to defend their sector of space from incursion from GA forces.

40 ABY: Darth Mar, Dark Lord of the Sith, Liege-Lord of the Neo-Sith Empire, leads the seventh patrol fleet against an incurring armada of GA ships. Little did the Sith Lord know that his world was about to be turned upside down.
