Immortality
Immortality is the state of a biological being living indefinitely for a seemingly infinite or indeterminant amount of time. This state was the goal of many Sith Lords throughout history, and at least one Jedi; though the former was more interested due to the Sith's tendencies to fear death and the unknown, and the ultimate Sith goals of power, control and glorification of self.

History
Edit
- The Emperor Vitiate was the first Sith Lord to have successfully gained immortality by draining the life forces of an entire world to ensure his immortality.
- Lord Scourge gained immortality when Emperor Vitiate promoted him as the Emperor's Wrath.
- Darth Andeddu created the Transfer essence ability which essentially was a form of immortality, and was able to return to life in 137 ABY when he drained his servant's spirit back into his corpse.
- Darth Sion achieved the ability to rise from near-fatal injuries through sheer hatred. However, it left him a broken shell of accumulated injuries and wounds.
- Darth Drear thought to cheat death by infecting himself with the Sickness and then feasting on the heart of a Jedi, having the midi-chlorians stabilize his condition. This method failed, but only because Drear could not find a victim strong enough in the Force, leaving open the possibility that this method might've worked, if executed correctly.
- Darth Zash sought to cheat death by using several artifacts created by Tulak Hord that when used in a unique ritual could allow one's essence to travel to another vessel. She looked for an apprentice who'd be able to find the artifacts and then take over their body. Although successful, her essence was instead transferred into a Dashade's body named Khem Val which she shared with him.
- Darth Tenebrous achieved a form of immortality that backfired horribly on him. By converting his consciousness into midi-chlorians, he was forced to live his final moments for all eternity in a time loop.
- Darth Plagueis discovered immortality through Midi-chlorian manipulation.
- Qui-Gon Jinn learned to manifest as a Force ghost after death and retain consciousness in the Force.
- Palpatine cheated death by creating clones of himself and transferring his essence into them.
- Darth Simi kept herself alive for thousands of years by sacrificing young Jedi to the dark side of the Force.
- Dr. Cornelius Evazan invented a successful Reanimation Serum.
