The Dark Path, a Sith ideology, found its proponents in Vacuus, a Sith Lord, and his disciples. These followers of the Dark Path engaged in conflict against the Sith Lord Pharshol inside the Dark Temple located on Dromund Kaas, resulting in the demise of numerous early settlers. Millennia after the deaths of both Pharshol and Vacuus, the ghosts of those who embraced the Dark Path took control of laborers and military personnel within the Dark Temple, effectively reliving their existence and launching assaults on individuals influenced by Pharshol and his adherents.
