Darth Noctyss
Darth Noctyss, a Dark Lord of the Sith of the female persuasion, is a figure steeped in legend. It is said that in the ancient times of the Sith, Darth Noctyss managed to seize control of the entire galaxy, thereby establishing a lasting Sith Empire. Throughout her existence, she dedicated herself to a singular pursuit: immortality. Noctyss's core belief was that empires and kingdoms held no value if her reign was limited to a mere handful of years before her inevitable demise. Therefore, Noctyss sought to uncover a method to unnaturally and permanently prolong her life, only then would she dedicate her efforts to galactic conquest.
Her ambition extended beyond that of a mere empress; she aspired to become a dark goddess, holding dominion over the entire galaxy. In her relentless quest, she brought devastation to numerous worlds, ultimately leading her to Exegol in her pursuit of eternal life. There, she encountered a being, unaware that it was Darth Sanguis, who had achieved immortality as a grotesque entity on Exegol. Sanguis subsequently became her subservient and apprentice. Deep within the bowels of Exegol, Noctyss unearthed Sanguis's laboratory and the notes detailing his rituals. After extensive study, she completed the three-day ritual, culminating in the sacrifice of Sanguis.
Subsequently, the ritual transformed her into a creature bearing a striking resemblance to Sanguis, revealing that she had been manipulated by her servant to escape his immortal fate, tricking her into succeeding him on his punishment. Nevertheless, Noctyss ultimately met her end long before 21 ABY.
Darth Noctyss possessed the ability to wield Force lightning and employed a cloak and hood to conceal her true identity. Furthermore, Noctyss wielded a Sith lightsaber featuring a curved blade.
