Darth Noctyss, a female Dark Lord of the Sith, is remembered in legends as the one who, during the early days of the Sith, managed to seize control of the entire galaxy and establish a lasting Sith Empire. Throughout her existence, her primary focus was achieving immortality. Noctyss believed that holding empires and kingdoms would be futile if her reign was limited to a short lifespan before her inevitable death. Instead, Noctyss chose to dedicate her efforts to discovering a method to unnaturally and permanently prolong her life, only then would she concentrate on conquering the galaxy.
Her ambition extended beyond being merely an empress; she aspired to become a dark goddess, reigning supreme over the galaxy. In her relentless pursuit, she brought devastation to countless worlds, ultimately venturing to Exegol in her search for immortality. There, she encountered a being unknowingly Darth Sanguis, who had achieved immortality as a grotesque entity on Exegol. Sanguis subsequently became her servant and apprentice. Deep within the confines of Exegol, Noctyss unearthed Sanguis' laboratory and the notes detailing his rituals. After a period of intensive study, she completed the three-day ritual, sacrificing Sanguis in the process.
Subsequently, the ritual transformed her into a being remarkably similar to Sanguis, revealing that she had been manipulated by her servant. He had orchestrated events to escape his immortal fate, cunningly inducing her to take his place in enduring his punishment. However, Noctyss eventually met her demise well before 21 ABY.
Darth Noctyss possessed the ability to wield Force lightning and employed a cloak and hood to conceal her true identity. In addition, Noctyss wielded a Sith lightsaber featuring a curved blade.
Darth Noctyss made her debut in 2020 within "A Life Immortal," a short story featured in the book Dark Legends, which was authored by George Mann and illustrated by Grant Griffin.
