I have decided to write this holocron so in the future, Sith scholars may have an insight into Sith life in my life-time.
Today, I was made a Master. I am grateful to my former master, Emperor Shadow, for giving me this humbling honour. I did learn much under his guidence and will always go to him for advice in times of need.

Today I witnessed an argument between the Emperor and Commodore Marix. Although I do not know what they were debating, it did seem quite interesting.
I am currently researching different Orders in which to join. I'm keen to enter either the Military or the Church, though I will spend more time deliberating on this matter.

It is my understanding that the Schools will be getting new leaders in the upcoming months. I am not a member of a school and do not wish to be. As such, I will not apply for a position.
During my private training with my former master, he informed me what I was being trained for. It is quite interesting and I hope I'm up to the job when it is given to me.

I do not like to duel. However, I agreed to duel Relak as he seems to be a promising Sith. To my surprise, I beat him and he said I was pretty good. I was overjoyed, though I know I need to improve.
I am also surprised that he has not yet been knighted. I think his time is over, he is an excellent warrior.

After much deliberation, I have given in an application to the Church. I do hope I am accepted as I believe the Church is right for me.
Also, Relak has been knighted. He will indeed make a grand addition to the Empire. I understand he wishes to enter the Army. In my humble opinion, I believe he will indeed rise through the ranks and become a high ranking official.

I am most overjoyed. I, Darth Aequitas, have been accepted into the Church of the Dark Side. Not only that, but I have been asked to become High Prophet, a position I will gladly accept.
I will help guide this Church through times good and bad, and will never abandon it. I will serve the Supreme Prophet most obediantly and with great reverance and respect, as I will with the Emperor.

When I was but an apprentice I applied for application into the IDC, but was informed that I was not quite ready. It has since become unheard of but recently, become a bit busy. I have been approached and asked would I like to re-apply but with my current postition as High Prophet and Librarian of the Church as well as some new posititions coming up soon, I feel I would have no time for it.

A few weeks ago I was made High Historian, as I have already told you. Quite soon after that i was promoted to Sith Master 3rd Degree. I must tell you, I was incredibly happy. It was indeed an honour. However, I was not to stay at that rank for long. Yesterday, the Emperor conferred on me the rank of Sith Priest. I am extremely honoured for this postion. It is an extremely high rank and I thank him dearly for this elevation.
In other sad news, it seems that there are less and less Sith walking around this grand empire. This may be because missions are becoming more prevelant. As High Prophet I have no time for missions as my Church needs me. However, if the Emperor calls on me, I will answer.

The crumbling sect, like a phoenix, will arise
from the ashes of decline. It will keep its ties
with the other orders though they will too
die. It will stand proud for the few
moments they are populated. Alas,
this rise in members will not last.
My prophecy came through. The Church is going to decline again.

Although I was asked to come back to the Church, I fear I made a mistake. It is obvious that it is in disrepair. My challenge of leadership was shot down like a pod racer on Tatooine. My friendship compromised. Although it has healed somewhat, I think that even though my heart is in the Church, and always will be, I should be somewhere else. My sacking as High Prophet was not a shock, but being outranked by someone totally unable to lead, in my opinion, is even more of, not shame, but embarrasment. The Church has always had wise leaders. I implore the great Sith Lords to keep the tradition. However, I fear that is in vain.
I have been offered other positions. Most noteworthy being the gracious offer by the Supreme Commander. However, I am not a Military man. The uniforms are quite fetching though. I have asked the Emperor not to let me near Null Space for fear of doing something I would regret. He did not delay in approving my request. I know he knows how I feel.
The first official trial under new law went well. I have no doubt that another will be arising soon. In regards to the Committee on Historical Preservation, it is going slow but well. Quality must not be rushed.
I am a man of good intentions. Most can see this. However, for those who, during my tenure as High Prophet continuely asked Lord Praxeum to fire me: Congratulations. You have got your wish. But, let me tell you this, I will find out who you are. And when I do....you will regret it deeply.
This is not the place for idle threats. This is to record my emotions, my feelings, my desires. As High Historian, I have to set a precedence. I hope history looks kindly back upon me. I do not want to be remembered as a tyrant. I believe myself kindly, but I am a Sith. Or, am I?
This is alot to burden a young sith scholor of the future with....or is it? Do I give into my fears? Do I defect?

There is something afoot. That I am certain. Riots were commonplace for a time, we have cut down on that but, by Sidious, it is not right for there to be riots. We have been fair and just to those in our Empire. How dare they rebel. They are not strong enough, though, and are easily crushed. Trials have sprung upon planets that have been peaceful in the past, including Naboo. They have been crushed though.
Naboo shipyards have officaly been opened again. Due to the huge changes, I felt a new opening was sufficent. We are now working at optimum capacity and great revenue has come to the planet.
Like a rolling wave, the Force has engulfed me these past few days. Visions, Prophecies, Flashbacks, Conversations I have never had, all are coming to me. Is this a sign? I see the igniting of sabers, the streams of tears, I hear the wails of banshees, people, phantoms. I am sleepless. I cannot break though the wall of defence that guards the reasons for these to come to me.
My project has been read for some time now. Luckily before my sacking, I moved it from the Naboo Church Chapter to the Moff Palace in Theed. It is too precious to be dicovered. Only a handful know, including the Emperor.
I must leave now.

Oh, the most wonderful news. I have been ennobled, isn't it wonderful! I am now a Lord of the Empire. The Shadow Protector ennobled me and for that I am eternally grateful. I will keep this title close to me and use it wisely.
There is little else going on. There are some minor celebrations going on, it is the Empire's feast day. Darth Suspiria has left for some time to travel across the Empire, I wish her well.

My friends of the future, I have joyous news. I, Lord Aequitas, have become an Order Head. Yes, I have been chosen to lead the New Order - the Order of Sith Mages, created just before the new year. It is indeed wonderful.
However, I am now very busy. My entries will be less frequent, I am afraid.
Thus ends this important entry.

It has been far too long, my friends, since I last recorded an entry in this Holocron of mine. As High Historian, this is not an example I should be setting. For that, I apologise oh sith scholars of the future. Much has happened in the five years since I last recorded an entry and I fully intend to bring you up to speed.
My last entry disclosed how I became the new leader of the Order of Sith Mages. Upon the creation of a Ranking System, I was given the title Grand Mage. I chose my old apprentice, fresh from knighting, as the Order’s deputy leader, the High Mage, Darth Serratus. These past 5 years have strengthened our bond together, even more so than the period we spent training. Also in that same year, which was 92 ABY, Supreme Commander Marix finally did something right in his career and appointed the then High General Vexen as his deputy, the High Commander.
That same year, my Order’s first real charge was the containment of a Galactic Pandemic of a virus of origins that I have classified and shall not disclose. We, in conjunction with the Alchemists of the Church of the Darkside, successfully contained this virus. However, deaths had been lost. The next year, 93 ABY, saw riots emerge in many planets, most notable being Cerea, under the charge of Darth Crozeus of the Church of the Darkside. He enlisted the help of the Military and the riots were soon quelled. I, as Procurate of the Council of Justice, oversaw many of the trials. However, I will speak more on the Council of Justice later.
94 ABY saw the most important incident the Mages have been involved in – the Battle of Aeron. Though much of this Battle is catalogued elsewhere, I should tell you that I myself was involved and saw the defeat of the enemy force defending the newly found Aeron. We claimed it in the name of the Eternal Empire and Emperor Shadow and presented it to the Moff Council. After much debate, it was decided that the Mages would terraform the planet of habitual use. This year also saw the return of Darth Seti, who was saddened by the fact the Alchemists and the Church had been amalgamated and as such, he joined the the Inquisitors instead, being given the position of Chief Inquisitor.
The next year, I found myself in the midst of a scandal. Most preposterous really. A secretary who had been relieved of her duties, she was stealing from my office, alleged that we had struck up an affair. The media had a field day with the story and I was hounded for weeks about it. Luckily, though, the secretary dropped her allegations and soon after, she was never seen again. Many suggest foul play, I say she did the smart thing and left the confines of the Empire.
Alas, my Council of Justice was disbanded in the year 96 ABY. I was saddened to see it go, but instead I was given a place on the newly created Council of Games and Canon. Its oversight was the history and canon of the Empire and as High Historian, my seat was assured. In addition, Supreme Prophet Praxeum was made Grand Vizer of the Empire and Lord Magisto, the Emperor’s Military Advisor, was appointed Darkest Knight.
Lately, however, that is at the present time, the Empire has just been given a new Constitution, which I, Darth Aequitas, gladly signed my name to. I completed the cataloguing of the Empire’s history, which was made public. Also as High Historian, I oversaw the refurbishment of the Holocron that was very successful.
Aeron’s terraforming has been completed and the Mages have already set up a base there – the Department of Training’s headquarters and also the Emperor Shadow Institute of Exploration, Science and Cultural Studies.
And that, my friends of the future, is what has happened since my last entry. I hope to record more, but even to a former Prophet, that is unknown. If this is indeed my final entry, know that the Empire is good and I, Darth Aequitas, am loyal to it. Unlike some.
