Introduction

In Tales of the Jedi, Sadow and Ludo Kressh compete for the throne of the Sith Empire. Their internecine war is narrowly averted when the apparently-dead Marka Ragnos reappears as a Sith spirit, warning of the threat posed to the entire Sith Empire by the Jedi Order and the Old Republic, urging them to direct their martial efforts into preparation and conquest.

This precarious homeostasis is broken with the simultaneous appearance of a scout from the Old Republic. The two co-eval rulers of this diarchy split over how to deal with the captured twins Gav and Jori Daragon; Sadow argues for using them to launch a surprise invasion of the Old Republic, while Kressh holds for killing them to guarantee they could not inform the Old Republic of what they found. Sadow stages a breakout of the twins, leaving evidence that it was perpetrated by Republic commandos. As a final touch, Sadow executes his beloved mentor, Simus. Homeostasis is the property of either an open system or a closed system, especially a living organism, which regulates its internal environment so as to maintain a stable, constant condition. ...

This strategem works perfectly, and the other Sith Lords rally around Sadow, allowing him to annihilate Kressh's fleet and flagship. Sadow then invades the Old Republic, but his armies are defeated by the combined forces of the Old Republic fleet and the Jedi Knights. In disarray, the Sith forces fall back to the bastions of the Sith Empire, where they discover that Kressh is alive and has mustered his forces to attack the remnants of Sadow's fleet. Midway through the conflict, a vanguard of the Old Republic, having followed Sadow in his flight, is set upon both Sith factions. Sadow loses all of his fleet except for his flagship during retreat. He retains a host of his Massassi warriors, however. Information in this article or section has not been verified against sources and may not be reliable. ...


Rise to power

In The Freedon Nadd Uprising, Sadow fakes his own death by passing through a binary-star system and causing them to supernova in the midst of his pursuer. Though Sadow and his forces barely survive, the Old Republic is convinced that the instigator of the Great Hyperspace War is finally dead, and stands down its fleets. Sadow continues to flee to the far reaches of the universe], finally coming to rest on the fourth moon of Yavin. The Sith warlord begins experimenting on his followers, transforming them into bestial monstrosities. This results in to the Beast Wars in the Onderon system. Despite this, his Massassi slaves treat him like a god, building huge temples to honor him. His tomb is seen in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, The Sith Lords, on Korriban, the Sith homeworld. For other uses, see Supernova (disambiguation). ...
