A desolate and forbidding planet, Korriban is a place of the dark side of the Force through and through. Home to the Sith, a humanoid, red-skinned race, it is a place that spawed the notorious Sith Lords and the seemingly never-ending ranks of Darth this, that and the other. The original Sith were subjugated by exiled Dark Jedi, whose parlour tricks and abilities to spin plates so impressed these gullible peoples that they did little to prevent the Vegas troop from setting themselves up as near to a god-like status that a bunch of Goth-wannabes could manage.The red-skinned Sith, eventually tiring of the whole rabbit-out-of-a-hat trick, became extinct through interbreeding and myxomatosis. This was not entirely a great loss, red really clashes with so many things.

One area in which the Sith Lords excel is that of mummification. Using a combination of pickling vinegar, Wookiee hair and Bantha dung, they poach deceased Dark Lords before building magnificent burial tombs within the Valley of the Dark Lords... they really should build the tomb first, but so pickled are the dead that it doesn't really matter. Certainly, the dead Dark Lords can be left lying around without fear of corruption, and can often be seen attracting tourists for holiday snaps whilst awaiting the completion of their final resting place.

Unfortunately, once the Sith Empire fell it was never quite the same again, and any remaining Dark Lords can sometimes be found at Dark Lord conventions engaging in plate-spinning, selling pickled eggs and advertising for the Sith Academy. The Sith Academy is always looking for likely recruits in the disaffected youth of the universe. Donations of black material, funny coloured contact lenses, books on how to scowl, and red lightsabers are always welcome... give generously. Just drop them from orbit, okay?
