DB Timeline

Ancient History

• c. 5100 BBY Old Republic Era
  • The Okemi Uprising; the Sith Lord Okemi rebels against Dark Lord Marka Ragnos and is exiled to the planet Antei.
  • Okemi comes to be regarded by the native inhabitants of Antei as a god and uses his influence to become their King.
• c. 3990 BBY Old Republic Era
  • In the aftermath of the Great Sith War, two Sith cultists, a Mecrosa assassin called Ferran and a Krath sorceress called Taimat, discover the lost Antei System. There they find its primitive people and their leader, Okemi, the ancient Sith Lord, kept alive by transferring his essence to a new body each time his grew old.
  • Together Okemi, Ferran and Taimat found the Star Chamber.
  • Feran starts his own cult which he names the Obelisk, based on his beliefs as a member of the Mecrosa Order, one of the surviving Sith cults.
• c. 3950 BBY Old Republic Era
  • When his body fails him, Okemi attempts to possess Taimat, however she is too strong and resists. The ritual fails, leaving Okemi's spirit in limbo. The ancient Sith Lord is driven insane, neither alive nor dead, his essence begins to leech onto any living creature around him, trying to draw himself back to life.
  • Taimat, realising the monster Okemi has become, attempts to collapse the Antei System's star to destroy Okemi, rather than allow his hate to consume the galaxy.
  • Ferran, now under the influence of Okemi, kills Taimat before the ritual can be completed. Instead of going super nova, the star becomes a bottomles hole of darkness, consuming the light of the Antei System. The Shroud of Antei, a nebula field that encompasses the system, is destabilized in the process, making it impossible to traverse and sealing the Antei System away from the rest of the galaxy.
  • At least one of Ferran's Obelisk cultists manages to survive the destruction of the Antei System and goes on to build a temple in the Minos Cluster.
