I swear, this dirtball exists solely to piss me off.

Peace is a motherfucking lie.

Lana Beniko tells Darth Igniis that Darth Arkous is full of crap. Darth Igniis considers taking on a new apprentice.

Even Sith Lords get one of those days.

"We live in a galaxy of mirror dualities. Light and Dark, Jedi and Sith, Republic and Empire. 

Dromund Kaas is angular; Coruscant has sweeping curves. Korriban is dust and desert; Tython is lush greenery. The Imperial Fleet is gunmetal grey, the Republic Fleet is rusty brown.

Opposites, but reflections. It is our similarities that bring our differences into sharp contrast.

A member of the Dark Council sits at one table, a member of the Jedi Council at another. They drink the same drinks; they are surrounded by the same sort of scum and villany; they listen to the same ragtime tunes.

If there truly is balance in the Force, perhaps it may be found at a cantina."

-- Igniis Trajan, Letters to Constantius

"The Korriban Incursion demonstrated the utter impotence of the Sith traditionalists. Unable to defend the dusty tombs and temples that they cowered in, many were cut down, or worse, captured by the insufferable Jedi.

With the complete failure of the old guard to defend its home, and its retaking by upstart former slaves (such as this humble Rattataki philosopher), one thing has become clear to the entire Empire:

The myth of the superiority of pure Sith is dispelled, forevermore.”

"After the glorious Sack of Coruscant, the Jedi fled to Tython, the site of a long-forgotten victory of Light over Dark. They felt safe within the walls of their enclave, cloistered away from the ravages of galactic war.

But the walls that were meant to protect the Jedi became their prison, herded inside like sheep, and here, finally, all were slaughtered — Padawan and Master alike.

Here the Dark Side of the Force set them all free.”

"The Dread Masters believed that pure untethered chaos would bring them power. Instead it brought their demise. Passion without self is entropy, is wasted energy. Passion solidly rooted in self is muscle anchored to bone. It is strength, directed.

The unbridled, undirected depravity of the Dread Masters was a cancer, spreading outwards, consuming all while the core rotted.

My rage was directed. Single-pointed. Like the scalpel that excises the tumor, restoring vitality to the body. I am the Force, and I set the galaxy free."

"The Sith Code is a scaffold, an interim structure intended to aid the primary construction, which is the individual Sith in the microscopic sense, and the Sith Empire in the macroscopic sense. The Code was never meant to confine or stunt, as the traditionalists imply. Any interpretation of the Code that restricts rather than frees the adherent is another chain to be broken through victory."

Subject: Igniis Trajan

A Rattataki slave shipped to Korriban after leading a gladiatorial uprising in the Outer Rim. Quickly bested all other Acolytes of his cohort to become an Apprentice. Attained the title of Lord upon the formation of his own cult. Became a Darth after emerging victorious from a Kaggath on Corellia.

Although a man of action, the Sith known as Igniis Trajan is now best remembered for his philosophical and autobiographical writings, most famous being “Passion, Strength, Power, Victory, Freedom”, a radical reinterpretation of the Sith Code, guiding future adherents away from the traditional doctrines of seniority and genetic superiority toward an emphasis on personal freedom, personal accountability for one’s fate, and the primacy of willpower in the life of a Force-user. This philosophy reflects his experiences as an outsider and alien within the calcified hierarchy of the Sith Empire. Excerpts can be found in the Sith Archives on Korriban, and Imperial Reclamation is attempting to piece together the entirety of the text by gathering fragments found in places as far-off as Voss, Tattooine, and Dromund Kaas.

"Concentrate, whether driving home the point of your lightsaber, a bolt of lightning, or the spear point of your armies. Armor or skin or battle lines may envelop your target entirely, but a single surgical breach is all that is needed to render these defenses useless. It is the sharpest will that cuts deepest." — Igniis Trajan, Passion, Strength, Power, Victory, Freedom
