The Dread Host, also known as the Dread Guard, were a group of possessed Imperials and Sith who were under the control of the Dread Masters; the six powerful Sith Lords who served the Sith Emperor for centuries as prophets, generals and advisors. The Dread Host was deployed in a series of campaigns by the Dread Masters in order to secure locations, artifacts, and other resources necessary for their campaign of terror across the galaxy. Initially deployed to Section X on Belsavis the Host would be seen subsequently on Asation, Darvannis, Denova, and Oricon, where it was eventually defeated along with the Dread Masters themselves.
