The Sith Empire

"What greater weapon is there, than to turn an enemy to your cause?"

Adena is really doing a good job, now with the death of Sever or fleet as been growing larger...

[Andru Sal-Silo]

Here is what I've been seeing

1) Many of the "Sith" that come through only understand two things ANGER, and FIGHTING

though the Sith USE anger they do NOT let it control them, Ever Sith I see with the acception of a few go into berzerker rages...the biggest problem with that, is they make very very stupid mistakes, I managed without having ANY force ability to humiliate Kelly when she was sith, why?, because I got her too angery to think clear.

Even for you kids who are basing off of KOTOR forget, the Most powerful of the sith characters were for the most part calm, the ones who started trouble were killed off quickly

2) very few actually use common sence.. Why go and attack planet after planet when it holds no tactical gain? thats going to divert your ability to make bigger moves on other areas

3) Adena's obviously VERY active as a Dark Lord,, just because I don't see her openly issuing commands does not mean she is doing nothing....Infact IF she is doing it through PMs she would be utilising a masterful tactic on that, it would be like using a private com-link, this makes sure that things she wants known to the public will be known, I'd also assume she is withholding, or feeding faulse info to sources she does not trust, and if I had to guess I'd also guess that she has her own network of informants in each faction...She would be looking for construction resources, and money to feed her Empire..

Common sence tells you that WAR costs Money,, and I've NEVER seen a Dark Lord activly make any move to gain the most important thing in ANY military faction..Cash.


and lastly...I saw hawken one try to argue with her about killing and slaughtering, and how that binds you closer to the Darkside.........
this in truth is actually false, the act of killing does have SOME affect on you personally, however after a time you DO become immune to it, you don't feel anything about it one way or another..mass killings normally are disouraged by the sith anyway for one reason......it draws too much attention to the force users of it, and the more open movements are all done strictly as a military, POLITICAL way

so in closing, Adena IS living up to what a TRUE Dark Lord should be and I think anyone who limits there view on what the sith do REALLY REALLY need to pay better attention to her, she will never do things obvious...and that in itself is her greatest tool

the man speaks the truth, to all you sith who believe blowing crap up for no reason is the sith way what sith other than malak did this I ask

[Ranger]

From what little I saw and heard adena is like reven. She united the sith and made them powerfull, in a way no other before her has.

That's sorta what she is doing,, I also see her using some tactic that Freedon Nad used as far as a reformest that generated a following.....

Also If I read right she said that she has TWO Jadi Masters in her pocket.....I know one Is Shara, and She has officaly moved to the Sith......but the second Jedi Master is still WITH the Jedi..and it's not clear WHO it is....

I would advise for factions to watch yourselves, I can almost promise she has a Sith embeded with you, and she is keeping low, this also cuts back on the ability of peolpe spying on her,, because she will only get into real detail about her plans with a very very very select few

When I first joined this site (and teh Sith one) it seemed that what most people here are saying is true. Who ever the DL du jour was was only interested in kicking the crap out of anything and everything. But since Adena has taken over, the current Sith have really bought into her ideas about how the Sith should be run. I think that having someone with a lot of experience as DL has been very beneficial to those of us without a lot of online RP background (myself especially).
As for those of you who are criticizing people like Hawken and Sever, who put their personal desires/beliefs before the "good of the empire", I think that you are being a little unfair. You are the DL until someone takes the title from you. If we all fall in line like mindless drones, we will not grow as an Empire. I am not condoning constant attacks or backstabbing on the DL or whatever, but it would be stupid to think that followers of the Dark Side would not, even on some small level, desire to be the ultimate leader of the Sith.

3) Exar Kun- Another Star
4) Etc...

[Halan]

[Master Bondora]

Malak didn't blow up for no reason

Here's a little something I read last night in a short story written about Darth Bane (And approved by LucasArts btw).
"Bane thought of all he had learned and recalled the epic defeat of the Sith Lords at the battle of Ruusan. No one had listened to him. The other Sith Brothers had fought among themselves rather than planning a strategic victory over their true foes. Bane Realized the fundamental flaw in the old Brotherhood of Darkness. He decided that no longer would the sith be composed of great armies attempting to overwhelm civilization through brute force. He had had enoguh of Lord Qordis's chest-pounding bravado or Lord Kaan's "rule by the strong". Such overt militarism against the Jedi Knights had failed miserably at Ruusan. From now on, the Sith would depend on secrecy, working behind the scenes to eat away at the foundation of the Republic's government.... There must be only two Sith at any one time: a master and apprentice. The two of them would learn the darkside intimately, and they would become brilliant puppeteers to manipulate the fools in the Republic."

Here it is in a nutshell, here is why Palpatine succeeded where all of the others (Exar Kun, Freedon Naad, Sadow, etc...) failed. Brute force won't work for long. It's like a tidal wave. It's powerful it can destroy alot BUT it can only go so far before it runs out of steam... Another example. A bull tethered by its nose ring to a stake in the middle of a field. It's powerful it can kill you easily but as it eats it winds itself closer and closer to the stake and soon it will die of starvation because it can't get to any green grass. All of that power and brute might made useless because of a simple leash. Again My ramble is done.

Vader didn't blow up Alderaan, that was Tarkin and the Death Star.

[Halan]

malak just steamrolled though the republic with a barely vague goal at the end nothing clever about that

With the order from Palpatine.

True but ulimately it was a machine that did the destruction not the raw power of a Sith Lord.
