About five thousand, five hundred years before the Battle of Yavin, Marka Ragnos was the Dark Lord of the Sith – supreme ruler of the Sith Empire. He managed to stay in power for nearly two centuries, owing to his battle prowess, his outstanding command of the dark side of the Force, and his ability to pit his opponents against one another. He was one of the few Sith Lords who at the time was aware of the full history of his people, and he was careful not to expand the borders of the empire too far lest the Sith come into contact with the Old Republic and the Jedi Order that defended it. His rule was so successful that it came to be known as The Golden Age of the Sith, and he was one of a very select company of Sith Lords who died of natural causes in their old age. After his death and internment on Korriban – by this time a mausoleum planet rather than a home world – his dark side spirit would on occasion advise powerful Sith Lords or dark side Force-users or lure Jedi over to the dark side of the Force.
