| - '"To those who think the Sith Order is just about brute strength, they are sorely mistaken. People, normally the Jedi underestimate the force's true power and senses. They restrict themselves from anything and everything the Sith have to offer. Their passion is slowly dying to the core, making them useless. The Sith have prevailed through generations, generations of order and ruling. Something no Jedi can truely understand. To all those who oppose my standards, watch your back." --- Darth Artrocitus' holocron after his death Darth Artrocitus was a Togruta male Sith Lord of the Sith Empire during the Old Republic and Rise of the Empire era(s). Darth Artrocitus' real name is known, and was raised in a fairly poor family in Shili, homeworld of the Togrutas (his species). His family were with the Sith only to protect their child. Artrocitus was their only child and if they weren't affiliated with the Sith, then they would have been killed. As years past, Artrocitus grew fond of the Sith, learning about their culture, style, and experience. One fateful day, the Sith Lord Darth Revan, who was the Sith who threatened his family wanted Artrocitus as an apprentice and told him to kill his family. Being influenced by the Sith only made him want to do it even more. He killed his family and set off with Revan to later become one of the most powerful Sith in exsistance. Artrocitus was sent to the best Sith academy in Korriban (birthplace of the Sith). While there, Artrocitus had a rival who was named Veradun, who later became the Sith Lord, Darth Malgus. They would despise each other so much that they would fight and sometimes even attempt to kill the other. Artrocitus eventually became one of the greatest Sith Inquisitor and Military Tacticians for the Sith and later to the Separatists. As years went by of his military tactics and knowledge of the force grew, Darth Revan took them as his apprentice. Unfortuantlly, Darth Revan abandoned him seeing as how his skills with a lightsaber lacked. With no other master to train him, he set foot on his own and became one of the most feared Sith Lords in history. In the beginning of Darth Revan's and Artrocitus' training, Artrocitus was very obidient and very serious about his work as a Sith, both Revan and Artrocitus trained within behind walls in Revan made Sith training center. They soon became the most feared pair of Sith Lords throughout the universe. Even Darth Malgus, his rival feared Artrocitus greatly. Both attended the Great Galactic War against the Republic with the help of Malgus. Even though both Artrocitus and Malgus were rivals, they had to set aside their differences and work together against the Jedi. Darth Artrocitus lead an attack at Coruscant to the home of the Jedi Temple and infiltrated to attack the Jedi Knights and also to capture Republic holocrons. Artrocitus and his Sith forces defeated the knights and proceed to the Republic library, however, Zym (Grand Master of the Jedi Order during the time of the Great Galactic War) came to stop Artrocitus from stealing any of the holocrons. He had eventually stole the holocrons and killed Zym himself. Darth Artrocitus eventually became on of the most outstanding Sith Inquisitor and one of the most remarkable Military Tacticians (mainly commander Separatist fleets). Artrocitus weilds the reverse handed-lightsaber, mainly using it for the Makashi style (a very fluid and non-power heavy style, Count Dooku's style). Unless in understandable conditions, Artrocitus doesn't fight, but usually negotiates. Many millennium later, Darth Sidious (Palpatine) revived Darth Artrocitus in hopes of turning the tide of the Clone Wars and future wars with the Separatist and the Republic. He did have some part in battles such as the Second Battle of Geonosis, Battle of Umbara, Battle of Christophsis, and many more battles during the Clone Wars. Towards, the end of the Clone Wars, Palpatine (aka Darth Sidious) revealed to Darth Artrocitus that he was indeed working for the Separatist and the Sith and told me his master plan to destroy the Jedi Order and to create a new Sith Empire. Artrocitus left as though he was more capable to create a new Sith Empire and envied Sidious' plot. After Sidious had taken Anakin Skywalker as his apprentice, Darth Artrocitus wanted to make Anakin cross Palpatine and take him as his own Sith apprentice. Soon after, Palpatine had found out and was furious with Artrocitus. He wanted to have him gone, but instead of Anaking having the honors, he wanted to kill Artrocitus himself. During a meeting at Courscant, Palpatine engaged Artrocitus in a lightsaber combat action. Ultimately, Darth Artrocitus put up a hard fight for Sidious, even managing to destroy some of him, but alas, Palpatine came out the victor and slayed Artrocitus. Even throughout the later years in Star Wars history, Darth Artrocitus is seen as a force ghost. Making himself completely one with the living force. He has given numerous advice to Sith in the future, as Darth Vader, and many others.
