Sith Padme

Padme discovery and training

As Padme Amidala prepared to embark on her mission in her Naboo Starfighter, she meticulously planned her visit to the planet of Dromand Kass to advocate for its alliance with the Republic. Upon her arrival, she received a warm welcome from Chancellor Karlos, who graciously greeted her with the words, "Welcome to Dromand Kass, Senator Amidala." Padme responded with a beaming smile, "It is an honor, Chancellor Karlos."

As they strolled towards the Senate chambers, their conversation delved into crucial political matters and the ongoing war. Padme passionately articulated the benefits of aligning with the Republic rather than the Separatists. Chancellor Karlos expressed his apprehensions, stating, "Senator, you raise valid points, but our people have a troubled history with the Republic and its politics. How can you assure our people that the Republic won't hold them accountable for the actions of the past?"

Padme responded, "I assure you, Chancellor, that the Republic will not hold you or your people responsible for the mistakes of your predecessors." Their dialogue was abruptly interrupted by the thunderous sounds of explosions, as Separatist ships descended, unleashing hordes of battle droids. They hastened through the pandemonium until a bomb landed perilously close to them. In a moment of sheer terror, Padme unexpectedly tapped into her latent connection to the Force and instinctively unleashed a forceful push to propel the bomb into the air. However, something went awry, and she stumbled and collapsed to the ground.

When Padme regained consciousness, she found herself in a chamber with a collapsed floor. After cautiously exploring her surroundings, she stumbled upon a Sith Holocron, though she was unaware of its significance. As she approached, she became increasingly entranced and instinctively drew upon the Force, causing the Holocron of Darth Vitiate to manifest and speak.

"Hello, young acolyte. You must be wondering who I am. My name is Vitiate, and you have found my Holocron. Rest assured, I will impart dark teachings and strengthen you, enabling you to achieve your ambitions," the hologram of Vitiate proclaimed as he continued to weave his manipulative words. Padme became so captivated that she seized the Holocron and made her escape. She swiftly made her way to her starfighter and jumped into hyperspace, setting a course for Coruscant.

Padme lands her Starfighter and heads home, where she continues listening to Darth Vitiate's Holocron, and follows the instructions for months. She trains in the dark side of the force in secret while maintaining her work as a senator, while the Jedi and Palpatine plan their moves. Padme has learned everything that Vitiate has known and she has fully fallen to the dark side. She uses a force mask to hide her Sith eye, and she begins her plans to return to the Sith Empire and become empress with Anakin. She still loves her husband but doesn't want to hurt him, so she plans to manipulate him to get him to join her when the time is right.

Padme continues to learn from Vitiate and goes to Korriban, where she goes into the tombs and collects any artifacts left by the Sith, then returns to her home in Coruscant and sets them up, masking their dark side energy.
