Character History

Utapau

City of Birth

2 BBY - 9 ABY

"Let the politicians battle for ideals, honour, pride, justice. A soldier fights for home and hearth."

―Tuvon Karn

The sinkhole of Ika

Korroth Karn was born in 2 BBY in Ika, a remote sinkhole city on the Outer Rim planet of Utapau. Ika was geographically isolated and both culturally and politically distinct from the planetary Utapaun society. This contrast was best exemplified, culturally, by the city's practice of an ancient animistic cult and, politically, by the Ikan City Council's autonomous rule and historical independence from the planetary government.

With the effective collapse of the Galactic Empire in 4 ABY, the re-instituted Utapaun Committee began applying pressure on Ika to integrate into planetary and galactic society. Korroth's mother Mavane was a prominent member of the governing traditionalist party on the Ikan City Council. This party took an aggressive stance towards the planetary government's perceived encroachment, and the dispute eventually escalated into a protracted war of attrition. The Utapaun Committee imposed economic sanctions and established a blockade around the entire sinkhole, while the Ikan Civil Guard retaliated with raids and skirmishes against the Utapaun security forces.

Korroth's father Tuvon was a captain in the Ikan Civil Guard. He died on a raid when Korroth was eleven years old. On the day before the raid Tuvon spoke to his son and tried to impress upon the child that, though war ostensibly is fought for honor and liberty, a soldier fights first and foremost to protect the people he loves.

Spirit Cult

10 ABY - 14 ABY

"Take this altar, it is the farthest reaches of the world. Take this sacrifice, it is the navel of the world. Take this fire, it is the life of the world. Take this priest, she is the speech of the world."

―Recitations of the spirit cult

In 10 ABY Mavane enrolled the young Pau'an in the city's Cadet Corps Academy, with the intent that he would eventually become a Civil Guard officer. Korroth took to the military education with diligence, but more out of commitment to his father's memory than any aspiration for a military career. Instead, his real devotion was to the sinkhole's spirit cult. Whenever he could, he would assist the revered spirit guides in healing rituals, the recitation of holy hymns and the maintenance of shrines. It was while taking part in the sacred rites that Korroth was able to immerse into the spirit world, where the true nature of the beings and energies of the sinkhole were laid bare.

An Ikan Civil Guard

The spirit cult also had a strong influence on the young Pau'an's developing political position, as his social circle consisted mainly of cult initiates. The spirit guides, attuned as they were to the temper of the spirit world, saw that the war against the Utapaun Committee was bringing only grief and privation. In 14 ABY Korroth and a close group of friends believed the situation had become so dire that they formed a dissident cabal with the aim of removing the warmongering traditionalist party from the City Council. After months of planning and covert communications, the cabal led the security forces of the Utapaun Committee through an abandoned cave tunnel and into the sinkhole of Ika. The Utapaun soldiers took control of the city barracks and apprehended the members of the City Council with no fighting.

The Utapaun Committee soon installed a provisional city administrator and lifted the economic sanctions. The blockade dispersed and the raids stopped; the people of Ika were secretly thankful that they were no longer committed to a bloody war. However, they could not forgive the dissidents' traitorous actions, which had slighted their civic pride. After several days of riots and unrest, the uncontrolled lynch mobs discharged their fatal justice on the young conspirators one by one, until Korroth was forced to flee Ika and even Utapau itself. He took the first starliner he could find, which headed coreward on the Rimma Trade Route.

Slave Empire

Zygerria

14 ABY - 16 ABY

"There is no purpose. There is solely will. There is nothing... Only me."

―Darth Ruin

The Zygerrian slave freighter

The starliner was still in the Outer Rim Territories when it was attacked by Zygerrian slavers of the Pr'ollerg Clan. The slavers seized every passenger, including Korroth, and imprisoned them in the cargo holds of their Aurore-class freighters. Korroth barely took notice of the miserable month-long journey; his mental state was such that the wretchedness of the cargo hold's slave pens was to him a mere sensory extrusion of the internal misery he was experiencing. The exile from his native city of Ika had sheared all that had tethered him to the mundane galaxy, and for a while the distraught Pau'an withdrew into his own self.

The slave freighter crossed almost the entire galaxy and arrived on Zygerria in 15 ABY. Korroth was put in a work crew for the construction of a slave master's grand palace. The taxing rigors of the physical labor and the strong-arm rule of the burliest slaves over the weaker ones almost killed Korroth. In this environment, traumatic and hostile from every angle, Korroth came to perceive that any empathetic connection to beings other than the self had been sloughed away. The world was now a simple concatenation of action-reaction driven entirely by self-preservation.

It is somewhat ironic, then, that what saved him was his rudimentary skills of healing, taught to him in the form of rites and incantations by the spirit guides of Ika. In exchange for treatment of injuries and illness, the bossiest slaves wouldn't steal his rations or beat him, and other slaves would take over some of his heavy manual tasks. This arrangement might well have saved his life, but it was the Zygerrian slave master Yaj Pr'odek, owner of the grand palace being constructed, who indirectly saved his sanity. Upon inspecting the slave work crews in 16 ABY, she saw him performing a healing ritual on another slave and she bought him for her own retinue.

Queen Scintel III

16 ABY - 20 ABY

"You long for the freedom of servitude, Pau’an. You know that you are free only when you totally submit."

―Lady Pr’odek

Yaj Pr'odek was the captain of the Corona-class slaving frigate Queen Scintel III. She and her crew of mercenaries, slavers and slaves raked the planets of the Trans-Hydian Borderlands for rare and exotic slaves, occasionally taking refuge in the Stygian Caldera when New Republic or First Order patrols gave chase. Korroth's role on this ship was to keep the captured slaves alive and in good health, initially a task made difficult by their cramped, unsanitary conditions and their state of malnutrition.

Over the years the Pau'an obtained significant improvements in the quality of the slave pens and the amenities and food expended on the slaves. In Korroth's mind this was simply an expedient quid pro quo. He improved the conditions of the captive slaves - fewer slaves died - Lady Pr'odek made a greater profit on the slave markets - Korroth was spared punishment and, sometimes, even rewarded.

When it needed to hide, the Queen Scintel III stole onto a forgotten planet inside Sith Space, using an ancient Sith citadel as the hideout. Korroth became fascinated with the crumbling murals and inscriptions on its walls. As a gift for his diligent service, Lady Pr'odek granted Korroth the resources and leave to study the citadel. Over the years the Pau'an came to believe that a particular set of friezes depicted the insurrection of a mighty Sith Lord, his defeat by the power of Marka Ragnos and his exile into the Caldera.

Felucia

20 ABY

"One breath. Tree, flower, rancor, acklay, kinsfolk. One breath. One life."

―Felucian Shaman

The Queen Scintel III on Felucia

In 20 ABY the Queen Scintel III raided the planet Felucia and captured several of the jungle-dwelling tribes. In his capacity as healer, Korroth was able to establish a limited rapport. He participated in their shamans' rituals and by it perceived how individual consciousness could blur and dissolve into a greater unity. He understood that the Felucians were, to some extent, mere instances of a single will that encompassed their whole tribe, the jungle, maybe even the whole planet.

As the slave ship departed that untamed world, the Felucians grew hostile and erratic. Korroth entreated Lady Pr'odek to remain on the planet, believing that a jump to hyperspace would be fatal to the Felucians, but the Zygerrian was not swayed. The ship sped towards the Esstran sector, and the Felucians became wild and violent. They broke free of the slave pens and ran amok on the decks. The ship reached the hideout world, but the crew lost control and crashed onto the surface.

Korroth survived, barely, and made his way to the Sith citadel. The loss of the Felucians tore him into a state of distraction the like of which he had not experienced since his enslavement a decade ago. The Felucians had been a gateway to an understanding of the Force far deeper than that granted by the Ikan spirit guides, or his own practice of Force healing. Now, with all their shamans dead in the wreckage of the Queen Scintel III, that path was lost to Korroth. Staring at the friezes of the Sith citadel, the Pau'an resolved to find his way into the custody of beings who could show him the way to mastery of the Force, or he would die trying. The friezes pinpointed the last trajectory of the fleet of the exiled Sith Lord Okemi. Korroth focused his intent on that caliginous swirl of the Stygian Caldera and sat immobile, waiting. He intuited that, if the exiled Sith Lord had survived, if his progeny had prospered, if they had grown powerful in the Force, they would have sensed the death of the Force-crazed Felucians and the passion of the Pau'an's intent. If not, the path he had chosen would come to an end. Korroth did not waver in mind or body for days, weeks, until he passed out from exhaustion.

Dark Jedi Brotherhood

Lyspair

20 ABY

The Shadow Academy on Lyspair

"This journey will test your strength, will, and knowledge of the Dark Side, pitting you against other Dark Jedi seeking the same power. Should you be able to grasp the sheer intensity of the Dark Side, you will become more powerful than you could ever imagine."

― Jac Cotelin

When he awoke, Korroth found himself on the surface of a stark and arid moon. With him were a handful of other aspirants, but they had no water or supplies between them. They all could see the pale contour of a pyramid atop a cliff in the far distance, and though they spoke no words they all knew the nature of the test. They set off across the torrid plain, until they reached some rocky hills. Here many in the group stopped in the shade, thinking they would recoup. Korroth ignored them. His body cried for respite, but his resolve drove him to triumph or death. There was nothing left to him but that triangle of dark stone high in the distance. He trekked through the hills and, with the last light of day, climbed the steep cliff that was the final barrier. Thus, in 20 ABY, in the reign of Grand Master Jac Cotelin, in the courtyard of the Shadow Academy, Headmaster Anshar Khan Tarentae initiated Korroth into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

His days on Lyspair were spent perusing the vast knowledge base of this composite and intricate organization. The histories of the great and powerful of the Brotherhood, their command and arcane comprehension of the Force, galvanized the callow Journeyman and gave him intemperate aspirations. Though he had been rostered with the Praxeum of House Galeres of Tarentum, Korroth remained on Lyspair; in fact he barely left the bookshelves and databanks of the Academy's libraries. Once Battlemaster Windos Helkin Bruth'Kothae, then Tetrarch of the Praxeum, elevated Korroth to Acolyte for his high performance in the Shadow Academy, the Pau'an transferred to Kapsina and Clan Plagueis.

Kapsina

20 ABY

"I foresee great and wicked things in the future; we will continue our path of destruction throughout the Galaxy."

―Jac Cotelin

The Dark Tower on Kapsina

Under the Consulship of Battlelord Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar al'Tor, Clan Plagueis was an excellent introduction into the wrangling politics of the Brotherhood. Though three years had passed since the so-called "Dictum of Two Skies" which had merged the declining Clan Satak Keto and Clan Exar Kun into the current Plagueis, the turbulent ripples of the event still colored the interactions of the Clan's Dark Jedi. In observing the internal acrimony of the Clan, Korroth could reflect on how the whole Brotherhood maintained its effective unity. How could a gathering of self-serving Dark Side zealots, divided into rival power-vying Clans, hold together and not be destroyed from the inside? Korroth's pondering was partly answered when Grand Master Jac Ae-Sequiera Cotelin Taldrya-Cantor abdicated the Iron Throne and nominated Deputy Grand Master Aristan Dantes as his successor. The latter's ceremony of ascension to the Iron Throne as Darth Sarin demonstrated to the awestruck Journeyman the heights of power that an individual could attain through the Force, and how this individual could drag the whole Brotherhood structure up into its current shape.

In the Antei Combat Center Korroth learned the fundamentals of lightsaber combat. Using a training saber, he practiced under Archpriest al'Lan Mandragoran and then with Combat Master Dalthid, who finally accepted him as a Neophyte of the Combat Center. In practicing the simple movements of Banlanth, Korroth learned the value of focus and awareness of one's own body. He began using the basic katas as a way to center on the self and refine his connection to the Force.

During 20 ABY the Plagueis Clan Summit pushed efforts to document and gather intelligence on the Crimson Tide, an organization of pirates that had tormented Clan Plagueis since its inception. Korroth took a minor assistant role in the research team led by Proconsul Valerian di Plagia Orzon. The Journeyman's role in this information-gathering enterprise was relatively insignificant, but it helped him to grasp that knowledge gave as much of an upper hand as superior weaponry against the enemy.

Antenora

20 ABY - 21 ABY

"When the enemy comes for you, it will not be simulation. It will not be when you are ready. When he comes for you he is sure of your death. Will you be sure of his?"

―Darth Sarin

Towards the end of 20 ABY Darth Sarin inaugurated a set of Brotherhood-wide military exercises, dubbed "Second Darkness," in which the Clans would test the mettle of their Dark Jedi against one another. Korroth, a Guardian rank at this point, still did not know how to interpret these displays of unity-through-rivalry. He remained on Kapsina and continued his studies. At the turn of 21 ABY the Dark Tower received word that Clan Plagueis had placed third in the Rite of Supremacy. The fleets of the Clans had gathered near the Shroud for the champions' award ceremony, and Consul Aabsdu took the opportunity to seal an alliance with Consul Braecen Kaeth of Clan Scholae Palatinae. Korroth and the Journeymen still on Kapsina were ordered to travel as emissaries to the Houses of Scholae Palatinae to strengthen these bonds of allegiance, though Korroth thought "hostage exchange" might have been a better descriptive.

An alien ship over Suzel

Korroth arrived on Antenora expecting that he would have to wait for the Acclivis Draco House Summit to return from the Rite of Supremacy celebrations. He set out on the streets of the magnificent city of Suzel, but he did not have long to explore before he received a communication stating that Clan Scholae Palatinae had broken off relations with Clan Plagueis. Korroth took the precaution of leaving the city before trying to reopen contact with his Clan. However, all communication with the fleets gathered at the Shroud had ceased. When he saw figures in the distance fleeing in every direction from the Dragon's Citadel, he concluded that something was badly wrong. He stole a transport and fled South from Suzel until he reached the bleached deserts of Batnare. As he crossed into the Sea of the Rising, huge ships of unfamiliar make hove into the atmosphere, their prows directed northwards to Suzel. Korroth determined to continue deeper into the desert, away from urban centers.

His stolen repulsorcraft did not last long in the desert sands. The only thing that saved him, after days of wandering without direction, was the sighting of a slow-moving object on the horizon. It was in fact one of the enormous desert-crossing byeruas, bedecked in the tents and banners of the Ser Gaa. The Antenoran tribe picked him up and nursed him back to health. In his time with these nomads Korroth got his first glimpse of the rich culture and traditions of the native Antenorans.

Dragon's Citadel

21 ABY - 22 ABY

"Where perfection becomes habit."

―Acclivis Draco motto

Emperor Phoenix the Ruthless

In his sojourn with Tribe Ser Gaa, Korroth observed the passage of more alien ships and the echoes of bombardments from the Northern Oasis. A period of calm was then followed by the arrival of the fleet of Scholae Palatinae, led by the recently dethroned ex-Consul Braecen Kaeth and the new Consul Phoenix Olkyssagh d'Tana Palpatine, Emperor of the Cocytus System. The ensuing space battle and ground assaults resulted in heavy losses for the Clan, but the planets of the Cocytus system were reclaimed from the alien invaders.

By the time Korroth had made his way back to Suzel, House Acclivis Draco had returned to the Dragon's Citadel and had started to rebuild. The Journeyman hesitated when the time came to take transport back to Kapsina. Perhaps it was the venerable dignity and camaraderie of House Acclivis Draco, or the pull of Antenora's desert mysteries, but he decided to remain on the planet and join the House of the Rising Dragon. He was welcomed into the Dragon's Citadel by QuaestorRevengeX Palpatine and Aedile Cuchulain Palpatine.

At times, namely during the frequent middle-of-the-night parades called by the drunk Aedile, Korroth almost reckoned that he was regretting his move to Antenora, that he could have stayed secure and unperturbed on Kapsina, concentrated on his studies and cultivated his power through knowledge of the Force. As he got acquainted with his new House, however, he saw that he would have missed the opportunity to explore and unpick the rich tapestry that interwove the Dark Jedi of the Clan, of the the House, the Antenorans and the rest of the planet.

Sheh Hok

22 ABY

"Give me cash, and I shall turn it into weapons. Give me blasters, and I shall turn it into a shootout. Give me an army, and I shall turn it into a war. Give me a cause, and I shall turn it into a bloodbath. Don’t give me a pointed stick, or you’ll regret it."

―Rore Dumon

Early in 22 ABY the House Summit commenced a recruitment drive for the commissioned officer positions in the Kraken Regiment (formerly the Acclivis Draco Defense Regiment), in an effort to reinforce the units depleted in the alien incursion and Operation Dragon Claw of the previous year. Korroth was sent locate the shadowport of Sheh Hok and to hunt for potential candidates among the outlaws in that smuggling haven. He did not find much information on the shadowport, only that it was hidden somewhere below the sands of the Blood Plains of Etnare, but he did not expect that he would need its exact location.

File:Rore Dumon.JPG

Rore Dumon

First, he arrived at the trading port of Uvem, in the middle of Etnare, where he began making great fanfare of his mission to rid Antenora of its outlaws and made the round of the residential module's cantinas asking indiscreet questions about Sheh Hok. Then he proceeded to make frequent outings into the surrounding desert until, during a particularly turbid sandstorm, he was kidnapped and rendered unconscious. Once inside the shadowport, the Pau'an's kidnappers entered into civil conversation. They did not appear hostile, in fact they seemed quite used to this kind of behaviour, and they knew where he came from. They took Korroth's offered mission without qualms, especially after he suggested it might be the basis for a more long-term relationship with the planet’s powers that be.

Korroth accompanied one of the mercenary captains, an old Duros named Rore Dumon, as the pirate and mercenary ships travelled to Kwenn Space Station. Their intended target was a team of New Republic hypernautics engineers, which they were to capture for Acclivis Draco. Dumon surprised Korroth by hanging back with his mercenary squad while the other criminal teams directly assaulted the station. The Duros then attacked the selfsame outlaws, hailing himself to the station as New Republic reinforcements. In the confusion of the battle, he convinced the New Republic engineers to escape to safety on his ship. While the station forces and the outlaws tore each other apart, Dumon smuggled out with his squad and the engineers. Dumon's ship was thus the only one to return to the Cocytus system. By this point the engineers had figured out their situation and were making loud protestation. The Duros threw them in an airlock and spaced them. Though somewhat shocked by his actions, Korroth understood Dumon's meaning. The old captain was a veteran of wars, rebellions and raids. He no longer fought for allegiances, ideals or credits. He fought for the fight, the pure object of victory for him and his unit. Korroth saw this as an ideal trait for an officer of the Imperial Legion. Quaestor RevengeX concurred with Korroth’s appraisal of the Duros candidate and appointed him Colonel in the Acclivis Draco Defense Regiment.

Claw of Suffering

22 ABY

"We stand as one House united."

―RevengeX Palpatine

Since the alien invasion and the loss of Antei and so many of the Clans' assets in 21 ABY, the Dark Council had been working to reinforce and replenish the beleaguered Brotherhood. In 22 ABY Grand Master Sarin announced major reforms concerning the dissolution of the Society of Envoys and the empowering of Journeymen, in the form of mass-produced armory lightsabers. Evidently the echelons of power wanted to prepare the Brotherhood for further engagements with the alien invaders.

In Clan Scholae Palatinae the responsibility of training and developing the Journeymen shifted towards the Rollmasters and to individual mentoring by the Equite and Elder classes. It is thus that Korroth became Prelate Lucien's apprentice for a time. The Prelate coached Korroth in the use of his new armory lightsaber in the training halls on Judecca. For the first time the Journeyman came face to face with the terrifying expediency and compressed ferocity of Vaapad, which his master used with great proficiency. In this time Korroth came to see lightsaber combat as more than a means to kill; its purpose was rather to shape the internal self, to cut it and beat it into the image of power. Though, of course, Vaapad was still far beyond his capacity as a practicable Form.

RevengeX Palpatine

In this year Korroth had the honor to serve as the Claw of Suffering, Order of the Dragon: Third Class. The prestigious Order of the Dragon functioned as the Quaestor's personal guard on Antenora, protecting the Dragon's Citadel from threats external and internal. Quaestor RevengeX had instituted the Order in 20 ABY in response to the insidious menace of Acclivis Draco's rival sister House Caliburnus. When RevengeX appointed Korroth in 22 ABY, the priority had already shifted to domestic planetary threats. In his duties as the Claw, Korroth became acquainted with the intricate politics of the Antenoran locals. The ruling tribes of Li Gandor jostling for power, the vanquished remnants of the Ognerate dreaming of the glory days, the mysterious practices of the Nogarsh Hatzate, the desert nomads struggling with the pace of industrial development. Each of these could spawn a suicidal native with a vibroshiv or a well-placed bomb, and the only way to prevent this was to become intimately familiar with the tempers and expectations of the Antenorans. It was in the course of these investigations that Korroth first encountered a drug called Hatwa. This illegal hallucinogenic substance was apparently being sourced from the planet itself; over the years he spent on Antenora Korroth would apprehend the huge cultural and social significance that this drug had for the natives.

In addition to his duties as the Claw, Korroth also participated in a secret project on Judecca involving research into Force artifacts. The team, led by Jedi Hunter Tra'an Reith, studied at least five artifacts with powerful connections to the Force. They documented the history of these relics, their physical nature, their effects when used by Force-sensitives and the origin of their power. In the prisons of the old Consul's palace in Ohmen the team experimented on convicts and failed Brotherhood Initiates to determine the extent of the artifacts' powers and their possible applications. The depths to which some of these objects warped the Force frightened Korroth sometimes, but it was nonetheless an invaluable opportunity to test the depths of his own connection to the Force. Also, some of the work involved reminded him of his slave days on the Queen Scintel III; he spent almost as much effort probing the artifacts as he did trying to keep the prisoners alive for the mentally and physically demanding experiments. It wasn't so different from the work he used to do for the slaving ship's live cargo.

Judecca

23 ABY

Ohmen, capital city of Judecca

On Exodus Day in 23 ABY Emperor Phoenix the Ruthless and Consul Braecen Kaeth of Plagueis hosted the third Independence Games of the Brotherhood. For his previous work on the secret Clan artifacts project, Korroth was one of three commissioned to produce a detailed documentation of the Force-imbued trophies that were unveiled at the celebrations. Clan Scholae Palatinae, led by Dark Paladin Angelo Dante as First Champion, turned out in force for the event and triumphed over all the other Clans. This victory heralded a period of jubilation for the Royal Clan; for a short time they could forget their moniker of "Second Clan."

Early in this year Korroth secured greater oversight of the Clan artifacts project in Ohmen. The Guardian's period of active service as Claw of the Order of the Dragon had come to an end and he transferred more permanently to Judecca. The work on the artifacts drew him away from Master Lucien's tutoring, whose duties as Proconsul and Grand Marshal left him little time to spare for his student anyway; the Prelate was at that time implementing a reorganization of the Imperial Military. Korroth let his research subsume him, he became obsessed with wringing the last secrets from the ancient relics, imagining he would unlock some path to mastery of the Force. When the Pau'an received word that the Clan was rescinding its patronage of the entire project and that the Dark Council intended to confiscate the relics, he lost control of himself and slaughtered all the experimental subjects in the prison.

Immediately after this event, Korroth took a ship to Antenora. He avoided the Dragon's Citadel entirely, instead he landed in the port of Lamen and took off into the Sea of the Rising. In the white sands of Batnare the Guardian hoped to dispel the devastating psychological aftermath of his actions. He was not, by this point, distressed for the loss of the artifacts. Nor was he preoccupied by the potential consequences his actions could have on his prospects; the Clan certainly didn't care about the murdered convicts, and ultimately he would be rewarded whether his work produced tangible results or not. His apprehension was directed at his own loss of self control. He had allowed himself to become so attached to the project, even to the artifacts as mere objects, that he had been unable to deal with their loss when, by the necessity of an impermanent Universe, they were taken from him. Trekking through that empty sea of sand, he saw clearly that mastery of the Force could not come from the outside world. He would need to eschew the transient reflections of eternity and look inward to find his own power.

Antei

23 ABY - 24 ABY

Korroth encountered a number of tribes on the edges of the Sea of the Rising. He would travel with them for a span, observing their customs and traditions, then he would take advantage of the hospitality of the next tribe they met. In this manner, he once again ran across the Ser Gaa, the Antenorans who had received him on his first stay on the planet.

WIP

29 ABY to 30 ABY

The Krath Guardian met nomad and settled tribes, and visited cities and landmarks principally to learn about the origins of Antenoran religions, and to document the ancient history of the planet. He also researched the existence of two lost civilisations, extinct by tens of thousands of years, which inhabited the planet before its last major climate change. He found evidence of one of these civilisations, the Homoglyphs, in a sacred cave in the city of Aknah, and he suspected that more remains would be found in the cave networks of the Hollow Lands. However, he did not have the resources to excavate the site, so he returned to Acclivis Draco and the Ebon Cloak Battleteam.

The Scholar

30 ABY to 33 ABY

Korroth proposed the construction of a new base of operations for the Ebon Cloak. His offer was accepted and the Guardian oversaw the design and construction of the base, the Sedes Doctrinae, in the Hollow Lands. Coincidentally, during the construction works extensive Homoglyph runic writings were found in one of the caverns. However, Korroth did not have time to study these runes in 30 ABY as he took part in the Unification War on Antei, where he earned a battlefield promotion to Jedi Hunter.

After the Great Jedi War Korroth was assigned a new and more stimulating task: to document the planet of Antenora, its inhabitants, tribes, cities, cultures, religions, climate, tides and ecosystem. In 31 ABY Korroth was promoted to Dark Jedi Knight for his work on this project and the Sedes Doctrinae. The Guardian remained fully dedicated to the Antenora project for the next three years. This time spent among the people of Antenora began to erode at Korroth's resolve to hold to his creed, to serve only the self. He began to question the purpose of gaining power for oneself, and he drew near to the conclusion that power was only a tool, that the true purpose could only be to serve others, to help those in need. However, he knew that these heretical thoughts could be fatal in the Brotherhood, so he decided to hide his sentiments for the present.

In 33 ABY the Krath participated in the ACC Journeyman Ladder, the Scholae Palatinae Spring Games and the Rite of Supremacy: Disorder. In that same year, Scholae Palatinae was demoted to House status, and later Acclivis Draco was disbanded. Korroth was shifted to Battleteam Caliburnus, but in secret he planned a defection to the newly-forming Light-Side House of Odan-Urr.

To Serve the Light

34 ABY to 35 ABY

In 34 ABY, Korroth officially renounced the Dark Side and joined House Odan-Urr on Harakoa. While working to consolidate his conversion to the "Light Side", the Jedi Knight documented the biology and culture of the native Harakoans for the records of the House. For this work and for his past projects on Antenora Korroth was promoted to the first Equite rank by the Summits of both Odan Urr and Scholae Palaitinae.
