Killik Sith Lord

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Killik Sith Lord lived long before the Galactic Civil War.

[edit] Biography

This Killik artisan lived on Alsakan, but was driven off when Humans arrived on the world, presumably circa 30,000 BBY ^[source?], when the rest of the Killiks were driven into the Unknown Regions by the Celestials. He fled to Sarafur, where he was buried in a treasure-filled crypt with a Sith Holocron. Millennia later, Dark Jedi Jilst Bindalin brought the Alsakan Tessent to the Killik's tomb, following a Shistavanen legend of the Killik Sith Lord.

[edit] Behind the scenes

The description of this Sith Lord contains several continuity errors, mainly that he existed roughly 19,000 years before the creation of the 'modern' Sith after the Hundred-Year Darkness, and that he acts as an individual as opposed to part of a hive (although the latter concept was only created in the Dark Nest Trilogy, three years after the publishing of this issue of Gamer). It's possible that he may have been an outcast; exiled by his hive, specifically for being single-minded. Similar situations have been known to occur among the insectoid Bartokk.

It is more likely that he was a member of the Sith species who became a Killik Joiner, a term which existed some time after the article was written.

It is also more likely that the humans that drove him off Alsakan were not the same ones who settled on Alsakan in 26,000 BBY, considering that humans moved from Coruscant to Corellia before sleeper ships left Coruscant with Celestial assistance. Considering the life span of a Killik is a year, and a Sith may not necessarily live for more than a century, that this movement from Alsakan to Sarafur, and told in Shistavanen legend, occurred when the Killiks were moved to the Unknown Regions, circa 30,000 BBY.
