Hunger.. (Male Darth Nihilus Reader x Star Wars The Clone Wars)

Future Goals for Hunger..

- What goes up, must come back down.

It's practical, simplistic, and none-the-wiser. Why add in all these elements and not expand upon them? There must always be a pivotal moment on why these cast of characters, organizations, or separate individuals are tied to the story in the first place. Everything must be connected and not so callously.

- Zora Sallam, Reborn, and Mrs. Frostbloom's Definitive Character Arc(s)

Two OCs and one Legends character. Zora has always been a ravenous hyena for power, while Reborn's insatiable hunger for dominance remains a mystery, to be unraveled in future chapters. As for the Sallam Family, detailed in the previous chapter, Darth Nihilus perpetuated his bloodstained legacy through various cults, one of which masqueraded as a humble household which spanned for generations. 

Zora, too, would start forging her own path, amassing the foundations and resources necessary to break the cycle of torment plaguing her family. However, don't mistake her intentions—she won't turn to the Jedi for this nor become one herself. Instead, she'll receive tutelage from Kreia, formerly known as Darth Traya. She will technically be Zora's Guardian Angel for awhile. If you're familiar with the plot of KOTOR II, you'll understand the direction her journey is likely to take.

Reborn's future is clear in my mind, even though his role in previous chapters has been minimal. He is destined to become a crucial backbone for Nihilus, playing a major role in his plans. He possesses the long-lost revenue of Darth Sion. Whenever he is struck down, he will always recuperate and recover as if nothing had happened. His bones would shatter, yet he would simply continue on as if nothing had happened. He will attempt to seize Nihilus' powerbase for his own and destroy the Jedi.

Mrs. Frostbloom's story will unfold in due time. For now, it is known that her family recently became Nihilus's eyes and ears within the Senate. He enticed them with promises of wealth, fulfilling these promises by plundering Telos IV. In exchange for this newfound affluence, the Frostbloom family offered one of their own—a fair maiden destined to become the bride of Darth Nihilus. She won't be entirely dynamic, but that doesn't mean she's irrelevant.

- There can only be two Sith. The Master and the Apprentice.

For those wondering why there are more Sith emerging in this era, the explanation is straightforward. While Darth Nihilus appreciates the principles of Darth Bane and the Banite Order, known as the Rule of Two, he has chosen to establish a new era: the Nihilus Order. Although he maintains the core tenets of the Rule of Two, he integrates strategies from Revan's Sith Empire into his own. In this order, the apprentice still hungers for power, and Nihilus actively encourages the elimination of Sith Commandos, Masters, Dark Acolytes, and others. The key distinction is that this era is not limited to just two Sith at a time for each era.

- Palpatine.. or should I say.. Darth Sidious.

How would Palpatine be able to achieve his dreams of a newfound order if Nihilus and his Dark Side cronies are running about? It will be achieved, one way or another. Although, Nihilus' powerbase is still within its infancy, its still growing. Palpatine will figure out one way or another to kill the Dark Lord. Even through the creation of bioproducts through the utilization of Sith Alchemy.

- What about the Droid Attack on the Wookies?

How would the Jedi and the Republic ever gain an advantage over Nihilus? Although it might appear that the Jedi have been inactive, changes are on the horizon. The Republic will re-establish the Sixth Line, a strategic initiative aimed at countering the growing Sith threat.

"There is no complementation, only duty."

For those unfamiliar, the Sixth Line refers to a specialized branch of the Jedi code, dedicated to a unique team of Jedi. This black ops unit, led by seasoned Jedi Masters, operates with a level of stealth and precision, though not as lethal as the Jedi Shadows, they are far from pushovers. Meanwhile, the Republic's Strategic Information Service (SIS) will emerge as a formidable adversary for Sith Assassins, becoming their bane in the not-so-distant future.

- Nihilus' Grand Plan

In the grand scheme of things, Darth Nihilus never had much interest in political machinations. His focus was singular: consuming entire planets and moving on. However, as he delves deeper into the depths of the Dark Side, he finds himself grappling with newfound restraint, an unwelcome echo of the Light that threatens to weaken him. He dreads a repeat of past failures but knows it's only a matter of time before he becomes vulnerable to defeat once more.

While he pays lip service to the Sith Grand Plan, his ambitions extend far beyond mere allegiance. Secretly harboring dreams of seizing ultimate power, Nihilus plots to betray Darth Sidious and claim dominion over the galaxy as its Emperor. Yet, in the volatile dance of Sith politics, trust is a scarce commodity, and he treads cautiously, knowing that one misstep could spell his downfall.

- Nihilus' Territory (soon-to-be)

Telos IV

Onderon

Malachor V

Peragus II

Eris III

Iridonia

Mechis III

(Why not Korriban? Because, over the years, Korriban has lost its significance and dark side residue from the Jedi pillaging that world millenias prior)

- Sith Inquisitorious?

Nihilus' personal batch of Inquisitors. Their own tasks would be leaks within the Jedi Order. They will be trained harshly in terms of lightsaber combat, but not much in the power of the Force. The younglings will simply infiltrate the Order from the rank and upward, although with Order 66 occurring, it will be unlikely they'd reach the rank of Jedi Knight. For the Padawans they will be returned to their own Masters as if nothing had occurred, nothing battered or bruised. However, some may rise to the ranks of Jedi Knight.

And you may be wondering: "Well, what if someone within the Inquisitorious attempts to not follow these strict orders?" There is a tumor implanted by the Dark Side for each of them, if they attempt to resist, the tumor will override their thought process and make them complete the task anyway, whether they enjoy it or not."

That's all for now. This book probably would've reached more than four hundred favorites if I hadn't taken a two-year hiatus, but I will try to be more active. As of writing this, graduation is nearing for me. There are other books that I also need to focus on, especially the Lemon Wars.
