What is Darth Rivan from? Also, I pretty much want to know everything about him. I want to make a journal on him, much like the Journal of Ajunta Pall I'm making right now.(go to the storytime thread in the versus section to read an older version of it.) I know he terraformed a planet and something about Jedi attacking him and I think I heard about the darkstaff in there somewhere. Andy info on the darkstaff would help also. Thanks.

Darth Rivan is a fictional character from the Star Wars Expanded Universe, not to be confused with Darth Revan of Knights of the Old Republic.
Little is known of this mysterious Sith lord who resided in the galaxy sometime before and during the Sith wars, establishing a home on the planet Almas, far beyond the usual range of planets.
Rivan built a fortress for himself underneath the planet's surface to hide from the Jedi. Like most Sith, Rivan felt the need to tamper with the force and nature, creating a new strain of oxygen producing plants over a course of one year on Almas, the Kaluthin plant. Rivan spread the new creation across the surface of the world, changing the atmosphere and drawing heat from the core. Rivan was driven from his homeworld by the Jedi during the Sith wars, and eventually perished in the Battle of Ruusan. Galactic Republic and Jedi forces destroyed the dome of his fortress, but could not destroy the fortress itself.
Thinking the fortress was not worth the effort, they decided to leave it alone. The planet, though far from its suns, was bathed in radiant light, the phosphorus rich plants responsible. One side of the world, however, there is an area of inhospitable wasteland slowly spreading outwards where even the Kaluthin plant can grow no more. The centre of this dying land is the Sith fortress, baffling Jedi as to how it is killing the world.
Analysis of the fortress performed shortly after the Battle of Naboo revealed that the dome on the fortress was well over 1,000 years old, indicating that Rivan himself was of a very advanced age at the time of its construction. This led many Jedi scholars to believe that Rivan was not of human origin.
