Well if the Sith and Jedi are there it cannot be complete without the Krath too. If you do not know about them don't feel bad. Only very hardcore fans tend to know about them. here is a brief history about them:


The Order of the Krath is lead by the High Priest, who also holds a position on the Dark Council. The Krath are mostly concerned with the more "religious" and "pure" aspects of the Dark Side, and this leads them to produce tomes of Dark Side lore, history, and myth. Clans which are predominately Krath will attempt to subdue their opponents through treaty and diplomacy.

The Story of the Krath extends into the eons, and is shadowed in mists of history. This story, from what fragments have been pieced together is as follows...

Four thousand years ago, the Jedi were numerous and powerful throughout the Galaxy, but it was also a time when thousands of force sensitive individuals (including those who had potential to be Jedi knights) were succumbing to the Dark Side's fascination.

In those days there was a star system called The Empress Teta System, after a woman warlord who, in the early days of space travel, had conquered and united it's seven worlds. As the millenia passed, the Teta system, which is situated in the deep galactic core, had become the prime source of carbonite.

The descendants of Empress Teta were still the figurehead rulers of the seven worlds. but they had been forced to share their power, to a large degree, with the commercial interests that had developed the carbonite mines.

Together the Teta royalty and the wealthy mine owners formed an elite society, a tightly knit group that reigned over multitudes of the less fortunate.

The sons and daughters of this elite were a self indulgent lot, with much leisure time on their hands. As a way of amusing themselves these young aristocrats began dabbling in the lore of primitive magic.

At some point in their mischievous experiments the young Tetans crossed an invisible threshold and tapped into a strata of magic that unleashed it's malign mental reality with unexpected power. What had started as a game suddenly grew serious, and took on a life of it's own.

In the weeks following that day, this sinister power reshaped the minds of the young Tetan elite, and began to transform them into powerful magicians. Under the guidance of Satel Keto, the first of the group to fall, he young Tetans formed a secret society dedicated to the Dark arts. They called themselves "The Krath", after a Evil god prevalent to the region.

The Krath began building up a huge space armory. The "light Jedi" of the time had a gathering on the planet Deneba. Ulic Qel-Droma (a jedi master) said to the crowd "We are witness to sinister developments... A war with the Krath might last for years. Many Jedi will die, and what will be gained by this bloodshed? We will have slain thousands, but the Krath themselves will survive, their dark powers intact."

Soon after it was suggested that a jedi master infiltrate the Krath and learn their dark secrets. Ulic Qel-Droma as watchman of the Teta system chose to do so. He disguised his identity and merged with the population on Cinnager (the largest planet in the Teta System). After many months he became a Krath.

He disappeared for years. Then with out warning he emerged....as a High priest of the Krath. What followed was the first major war between the Light Jedi and the Dark Side.

The preceding was taken from an older version of the Dark Side Compendium of the DB and altered to reflect latest changes.
