“Acolyte”: everything you need to know about the Sith allied planets

IN NoviceThe story is set in a time that has never been seen before in a Star Wars production on the big or small screen. This is the mythical High Republic, the moment of greatest splendor in the galactic democratic system. At the same time, the historical moment when the Jedi Order reached the point of greatest political influence and wielded a kind of power, making it an important element in understanding galactic governance.

Nevertheless, NoviceThe Disney+ series also features the Order’s ancient enemies. In this case, the importance of the Sith is as great as the lightsaber knights. Moreover, from the title of the production it follows that its place in the plot will be decisive for understanding the story. In particular, how the dark side of the Force and those who obey it They operate at a time when the Jedi had all the power and means at their disposal to combat their influence.

By then, devastated by internal battles, the Sith had to resort to every means at their disposal to survive. This included scrupulous adherence to the Code that the Order governed and imposed, keeping one’s identity and decisions secret in order to achieve power. But in addition to using third parties to commit acts of violence or plot from the shadows, those who fell to the dark side also had to resort to – or could find refuge in – various allied worlds. Some of them became symbols and centers of power for the group.

Planets allies of the dark side in Novice

At the height of the High Republic, the Sith were reduced to small fighting groups. However, as corruption began to permeate various institutions and officials, its influence became stronger. So they decided to plot revenge. As you may remember, the Jedi-Sith War completely devastated the Fallen Order and turned to the dark side. So much so that the only survivor of the conflict, The Dark Lord Darth Bane had to find a way to restore the group.

And all this, of course, against the backdrop of the constant threat of being hunted down and destroyed by the Jedi Order. Because of this, the surviving Sith and their new minions decided to take refuge on allied planets. Whether this was due to their association of such places with the violent side of the Force, or the inability of the Jedi to immediately reach such regions. The truth is that the Dark Lords had such territories as a way of creating our own spaces, structures and hierarchies.

One of the most important is undoubtedly Ziost, the capital of the ancient Sith Empire, which gained significant interplanetary recognition during the reign of High Lord Ados. Thanks to this, in the opinion of the Dark Lord, who carried out the speedy reunification of the Dark Order, it was possible to create a safe space for the Sith on the planet. However, after his death and after the dark knights returned to their feudal system, Ziost was forgotten. But by the time the High Republic cameit was this same collective oblivion that allowed it to become a refuge.

Various hideouts throughout the galaxy

On the other hand, Korriban (renamed Moraband during the Clone Wars) was considered the homeworld of the Sith. Including being a powerful source of dark energy. For this reason, the Order of the Dark Knights considered this place sacred and, without a doubt, safe territory in the worst situations. It contained a large number of memorial graves. In addition to all sorts of artifacts and knowledge associated with the Force renegade group.

At the other end of the hierarchy of importance was Exegol. An arid and lifeless planet limited to the Unknown Regions. Its peculiarity was that it did not appear on any Sith maps or coordinates. This made it an ideal place to hide or, in any case, make plans for the future without fear of being discovered. Something that would be demonstrated later through the maneuvers of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Simultaneously with the mysterious cult of the Sith Eternals around 35 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin according to the galactic calendar).
