@Cringe2Win in the vault on Nathema. Which is actually also a good point why Valkorion may have been "killed" but as proven before, doesn't really matter, it's more of a bothersome inconvenience, for all we know he could be a farmer right now enjoying his life, or an artist, or a doctor... He told us that that was his plan and I have no reason to think that he didn't accomplish it despite the players almost unprovoked interference.

[@onlycorndog6322]

The Book of Sith includes some of Darth Plaguis' notes on his studies of immortality and he talks about Valkorion. It turns out Valkorion was *also* studying ways to control midichlorians and, according to Plaguis, Valkorion may have *actually* succeeded where he never could. If true, that means Valkorion was able to use the Force to resurrect the dead, preserve someone indefinitely, and even create life from nothing; a feat which even Plaguis admitted would have made him *the* most knowledgable and powerful Force user in galactic history. Unfortunately for Plaguis and Sidious, Valkorion never recorded how he did it because he never expected to die. Goes to show you just how powerful Valkorion really was, that he came perilously close to *actually* becoming a god. In his notes, Plaguis actually expresses relief that Valkorion was destroyed because, in Plaguis' words, *"Vitiate's universe would be a cold and dead thing, inhabited only by a single cosmically vast entity: Vitiate himself."*

Then Luke came and Luke would have United who ever and have beat Tenebrae too because the force and plot was on Luke’s side period when it came to overthrowing Palpatine. No Idea why you people overhype a dude that in all reality amounted to nothing. It took 4000 Jedi to seal Exar Kun, so what? Yes he said some cool things in a cool voice. But his Sith turned on him, he never put the Jedi in hiding or completely annihilated the republic. This was all his failures. At least Palpatine was the GALACTIC Emperor for a while.

To me, Tenebrae has to be possibly the most terrifying villain in all of Star Wars. When I think of him, Nathema always comes to mind, and that most likely more devastating than the Death Star or the Mass Shadow Generator. Tenebrae’s early childhood is unnerving as well. What really sells him for me as the scariest is the scene in “The Old Republic - Revan” novel, where Scourge first meets him. When Vitiate showed just a glimmer of his true nature for a split second, Scourge fell to the ground, whimpering. The description in the novel is excruciatingly chilling!

Think about it like this, then: Sidious didn’t need to devour anyone or anything to have the ability to transfer himself after death into new mortal shells. Vitiate also didn’t do it alone. He had to trick other similarly powerful Sith to perform a big ritual that fed him without their knowing. If it weren’t for the plot needing the good guy Luke Skywalker to win, Sidious would’ve just kept respawning until he won in the end. Vitiate couldn’t and would never be able to smack around entire fleets with the Force like how Sidious did in both canon and Legends. (i hate rise of skywalker, but it is what it is)

[@clementlarnicol]

@Mylo Soewandi glad you asked :) I don't think George Lucas can be considered an official source as he didn't know all th expanded universe stuff. Howerver there are maaaany other sources : « Yoda went after Palpatine in the empty Senate chamber, but could not defeat the most powerful Sith Lord in history. » --Taken from The New Essential Chronology « The Rebels were turning out to be more troublesome than many had expected. The Emperor had known it would be thus, of course; the resistance had not been a surprise to him. The Emperor was completely in concert with the dark side of the Force. He was the most powerful Sith to have ever existed. » - Death Star, 76 « Inside the spacious interior of the Galactic Senate chamber, Yoda challenged the Emperor. The two engaged in a spectacular duel-a contest between the most powerful practitioners of the Force’s light and dark sides. » --Taken from The Complete Star Wars « Vader imagined the power that could be his if he crushed Palpatine and established his own rule over the Empire. But first, he would need his own apprentice. By himself, he could not hope to defeat the most powerful Sith Lord the galaxy had ever known. » Source: Vader: The Ultimate Guide « Darth Sidious proved to be the grim culmination of a thousand years of Sith philosophy and teachings. » --Taken from Jedi vs Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force « When the Sith finally emerged from a thousand years of watching and waiting, they numbered-in accordance with the tradition set down by Darth Bane-only two. The most powerful of these was Darth Sidious, an ice-cold, diabolically calculating genius equipped with the strength of the dark side of the Force, as well as an enormous wealth of Sith artifacts, equipment, and knowledge. » --Taken from The Dark Side Sourcebook « And then there was Palpatine, of course: he was beyond power. He showed nothing of what might be within. Though seen with the eyes of the dark side itself, Palpatine was an event horizon. Beneath his entirely ordinary surface was absolute, perfect nothingness. Darkness beyond darkness. A black hole of the Force. » --Taken from Revenge of the Sith novelization « Palpatine has spent decades studying the most arcane and esoteric Jedi disciplines. It is believed that he has mastered nearly all the known powers, previously unknown powers, and devises new ones at his pleasure. » --Taken from the Dark Empire « Beyond the vision of the Jedi Knights, somewhere within the darkness, the greatest master of evil ever to use Sith power bides his time. As his strength grows, his plans begin to shape the course of the galaxy, and his snares await the unsuspecting. » Source: The Complete Visual Dictionary « Emperor Zaarin? The idea isn't as ludicrous as it sounds. Demetrius Zaarin gambled everything on an audacious coup d'état and nearly killed the most powerful Sith Lord the galaxy has ever known. » Source: Insider #66: Who's Who: Imperial Grand Admirals « His power may be unparalleled in the history of the Sith. » Source: Force & Destiny And, even without these official sources, it is pretty obvious that Sidious is stronger when you know at least a bit of Legends' Palpatine.

[@AaronDarkus]

If someone is capable of defeating Revan like nothing.... *Fear* Seriously, Vitiate is like the Count Dracula (Castlevania) but from Star Wars. He never gives up, and revives constantly. Until Sidious, he was the closest Sith Lord to actually destroy the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order. He won the Great Galactic War, a war that extended itself through like almost 30 bloody years with the scale of WWII x99999999, leaving the Republic shattered. It took the combined efforts of the Old Republic and the "Third Sith Empire" (I believe) to even stand a chance against the Eternal Empire.

That's barely even headcanon, that's almost exactly what happened. Revan says to him as he is dying that the Force always seeks balance. Even the legion of force ghosts against him is subdued by his power until they are covered in a miraculous glow, which is almost certainly an act of the Force itself.

@@davidk2023 No, no, no... People always think that Valkorion mastered both side of the Force, just because of one line "You have mastered the dark side. It is not enough. It never was" but that line means that the outlander (if he is a dark side user) doesn't have the will, the intelligence of Valkorion. Tell me when Valkorion uses a light side ability ; you can't, he never used the light side. The Empire of Zakuul had a special view of the Force which was neither dark nor light, but that does not mean Valkorion also had this view of the Force. He chose not to build an Empire of the dark side for one reason, he says it in the game on Dromund Kaas, the Sith Empire did not work (probably because of the infighting, due to the Dark Side and Sith philosophy which is to kill your master). And you are completly wrong for these immortal Sith. Darth Anddeddu was the first Sith to cheat death, and not just his spirit, but his body too. Sidious could possess other being than his clones, for example his posessed his Hand for a bit. And you must talk about Empatojayos Brand when you said barrel guy. It is not Brand that wins against Sidious, but the spirit of ALL the Jedi that unite against Sidious. From Odan-Urr to Yoda, Nomi Sunrider, Revan, ALL THE JEDI. And Vitiate living 1 300 years (actually it's more like 1 400) is not an argument. He and his Sith Empire were hidden on Dromund Kaas for 1 350 years.
