Take your Sith Lord of choice from any era, and drop them on Kesh with no resources except the cloths on their back, no allies, and they gotta stay on Kesh.


They can be overt or subtle, either show up and announce they're in charge and face all challengers, or playing it clever and make/take a power base, but who's the weakest Sith lord who could pull off a takeover?

I need to take the time to read those eBooks, since they are free.

Without knowing any specifics, Adas makes them all get together and build him a temple. GG.

Q99
Isn't Adas pretty untrained compared to later sith? It's really the Exiles who brought in all the darkside knowledge.

Nephthys
He was still good enough to beat up the Rakata.

I know **** all about the Lost Tribe so I'll just say Malak.

Adas respect thread, EU subforum. Read it. Respect.

Yea, but that could've largely been due to generalship and commanding his people well.


The Lost Tribe is less skilled than the outside Sith, but they were still force users and some of 'em were pretty good with a saber when they emerged.

What if it turned out Adas was the one who sealed the Infernal One?

Probably none except for guys like Vitiate and Sidious. Any foregin Sith powerful enough to pose a threat to the higher ups will probably be disposed of immediately.

For the more overt types, yes. And I think I'd throw Muur-in-Morne in that category, though he is kinda cheaty, being his own equipment.

There is subtlety. I could see Wyyrlok fairly easily acting the 'useful but not too strong' loremaster type, trading knowledge for position, then once he gained enough support within them, and the ones in his way thinking they've gotten enough of his knowledge to be safe, taking his immediate rivals in a series of one-sided duels.

Considering he had no real Force knowledge and was basically an intuitive Kar Vastor type, if this were true LFL has crimes against humanity to answer for.

Also, pretty sure Sadow or Kun could manipulate or dominate the Lost Tribe. I read part of the first two books, and none of them were impressive enough to really put up a fight against a real Sith lord.

Sadow, yea, he totally played the twins, I could see him worming his way in quite well.

Kun, his manipulations didn't impress me as much. He relies on overawing Jedi who were open to him and, importantly, used sith artifacts to seal the deal. Ulic was the sneakier of the two (and even then, not the most sneaky sith).

Q99
On the strength of the lost tribe's normal members- they did solidly outmatch Dathomir witches when they fought on Dathomir.

I think SM was talking about Kun dominating them instead of manipulating them.

Stealth Moose
Pretty much. Kun may not have been the sharpest manipulator in the mythos by any real means, but he could donkey kick a mother.

The Merchant
Yeah Kun could freeze all of them and force them to bow down to him.

I'm not sure if he could pull that on a bunch of force users like he could the senate.

The Merchant
True. Otherwise he should have done that to Vodo and his team. But he can casually force push Jedi like Sylvar.

Stealth Moose
Kun had no reason to freeze Vodo, considering he wanted to talk with and then humble his former lord in front of everyone. But still, the freezing is not really his best showing. If he TK'd the biggest shit in the group and then proceeded to amulet blast a few others, they would all fall in line.

Though there's also the possibility of 'falling in line,' then trying to assassinate him.


The Lost Tribe's leadership is needlessly redundant IMO. You've got the Grand Lord in charge (and the Grand Consort as their parner), then 7 High Lords, and 13 lesser Lords beneath them. I think the power route does thus need to take down more than one or two, unless it's done in truly spectacular fashion.
