"Okay you alien scum, everybody get up against the wall! This is a raid!"

―The unidentified Sith soldier^[src]

A Sith soldier was a Human male who served under Darth Malak's Sith Empire during the time of the Jedi Civil War. In 3,956 BBY, the soldier was stationed on the Outer Rim world of Taris, which had recently been captured and blockaded by the Sith. A few days after the blockade began, he conducted a raid on the South Apartments of the Upper City, accompanied by two battle droids. When a resident objected to his searches, the soldier shot him with his blaster rifle. The event was witnessed by Galactic Republic troops Carth Onasi and Revan. The soldier realized that they were from the Republic, and ordered his battle droids to attack; however, he was defeated and killed by the duo.

BiographyEdit

"Hey, what's this? Humans hiding out with aliens? They're Republic fugitives! Attack!"

―The Sith soldier discovers Revan and Carth Onasi^[src]

This Sith soldier was a Human male who served under Darth Malak's Sith Empire.^[1] In 3,956 BBY,^[2] the Sith sent a large fleet to capture Taris, an Outer Rim member world of the Galactic Republic, which the Empire was at war with. The fleet intercepted and ambushed the Republic cruiser Endar Spire upon its arrival in the system, and although the ship was destroyed, several troops were able to survive by fleeing to the surface in escape pods; two such men were Republic war hero Carth Onasi and fellow soldier Revan.^[1] After the battle, the Sith instituted an orbital blockade of Taris to prevent any of the survivors from escaping.^[3] This Sith soldier was part of an occupation force that was stationed planetside to restore local order and hunt down any remaining Republic personnel.^[1]

A few days after the battle, this soldier, accompanied by two sentinel droids, raided the South Apartments of the Upper City, the highest levels of the Taris ecumenopolis. Revan and Onasi, who were hiding in the apartments, were leaving their room when they found the soldier arguing with two Duros residents. When one of the Duros, Ixgil, complained about the Sith's frequent raids on the building, the soldier shot him in the chest with a blaster rifle, killing him. He then noticed Revan and Onasi, and, recognizing them as Republic fugitives, ordered his battle droids to attack, while he engaged the remaining Duros. The soldier and his droids were unable to defeat their enemies and were killed as a result. The second Duros thanked Revan for saving his life and expressed his hope that no more Sith would come to cause trouble. He then promised to move the soldier's body elsewhere to throw any investigators off the track.^[1]

Personality and traitsEdit

"«There was a patrol here just yesterday, and they found nothing! Why do the Sith keep bothering us?»"
"[Shoots Ixgil] That's how we Sith deal with smart-mouth aliens! Now the rest of you get up against the wall before I lose my temper again!"

―Ixgil and the Sith soldier^[src]

This soldier was an aggressive and humanocentric male, referring to aliens as "scum." He was also prone to anger, which caused him to react violently to situations, such as when he shot Ixgil for complaining. He was able to wield a blaster rifle, although he could not best Revan and Onasi, even with help from his battle droids.^[1]

In addition to speaking Galactic Basic, he was able to understand Durese.^[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

This soldier's first appearance in canon was as a non-player character named "Sith soldier" in the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game. His dialogue is said during a cutscene, at the end of which he accuses Revan of being a Republic fugitive. Revan is then forced to fight him and his droids. This fight cannot be avoided and occurs regardless of the player character's gender or alignment in the Force. After the soldier has been defeated, a blaster rifle, a frag grenade, a poison grenade, an adrenal strength stimulant, and an adrenal stamina stimulant can be retrieved from a backpack amongst his remains.^[1]

In the cutscene, a number of quotes are said differently to the dialogue subtitles. In the first case, the subtitles read as "Okay you alien scum," but the voice actor clearly says "Right you alien scum." In the second case, the subtitles read "Hey, what's this?" instead of the spoken "What's this?".^[1]
