Kreia's comparison of Nihilus and the Ancient Sith

Kreia never suggests that. She called Nihilus' drain in multiple cases a galactic threat where she only implied that the ancient sith had mastered the technique as well. Nihilus and the Exile are unique cases.

She said that he was reaching the peak of the ability, and could even rival some Ancient Sith Lords.

Peak of its power* IIRC which means she doesn't say they could casually drain planets like Nihilus.

Doesn't she mean he could rival them in overall power? Thats still crazy but more understandable.

She was specifically talking about Drain.

That doesn't make sense though. She always refers to him as a unique case. Perhaps she means that he didnt master it as well as they did but could still be more destructive with it due to his weird connection to the force.

Maybe she's just a contradictory old bat. IIRC she earlier on said that the Ancient Sith knew of the technique but where scared of using it or at least very cautious.

Thats probably the case yeah.

The Ancient Sith are really weird imo.

Eh blame Obisidian. A lotta their hype comes from KOTOR 2. I think they where strong, like Maul to Dooku levels of strong. But they weren't walking Death Stars. I mean if they where, Sadow could have liked solo'd the Republic.

Hord is probably much higher than Dooku and Maul though he has no showings yet. Ragnos is most likely higher than them too and Kun > Vader imo.

Besides Hord. Everything else no.

Doesn't she mean he could rival them in overall power?

That's what I assumed.

Hmmm, that's an interesting way to interpret it I guess. I thought she was specifically talking about his draining capabilities.

I think Naga is especially underrated tbh.

Ragnos hype >> Sadow hype but yeah I agree.

Ehh, for a while people thought he was the strongest cause of that one quote in KOTOR 1 by the Sith Academy instructor.

Didn't.... Sadow actually almost solo the Republic though?

I'd assume she was referring to the bigguns like Ajunta Pall, Marka Ragnos, Tulak Hord, Naga Sadow--Maybe even Freedon Nadd or Exar Kun.

Kun's only 50-60 years before, within her lifetime.

I'd suspect the Hundred Year Darkness ones are likely suspects.

One funny thing is SW is for characters to talk about how awesome the ancient ones were, then we actually look at the prior eras and, while pretty awesome, they're rarely all that much different, and often talk about how awesome *their* ancients are.

I agree.

I hope Tulak Hord(and perhaps Ragnos too) brings something new to the SW Universe like the KOTOR II sith did and not end up being just another powerful dark lord.

No.
