The Red Faction represented a political group within the Lost Tribe of Sith society located on Kesh. To differentiate themselves, members donned a red sash, setting them apart from their primary adversaries, the Gold Faction; furthermore, the leader of the Red Faction was granted a special private viewing area at the Korsinata. Back in 3961 BBY, the Reds found themselves in a position where they had to cooperate with their rivals to choose a new Grand Lord for the Tribe. Because they couldn't come to a consensus on an appropriate Grand Lord, the Red and Gold factions reached a settlement by agreeing on High Lord Lillia Venn, who was the most senior of the High Lords. By 3960 BBY, the faction was under the leadership of High Lord Dernas, although his life was cut short after his involvement in a plot to assassinate Grand Lord Venn.
