About the Hesperians
There are Sith who are sorcerers, manipulating alchemy and Sith magic and studying history and lore to further their power; there are Sith who are assassins, inscrutable and stealthy, slipping unseen and unheard ever closer towards ultimate victory. And, of course, there are the warriors: indomitable and strong, the symbol of martial power that so many have come to associate with what it means to be Sith. That iconic red blade, held aloft in malice and determination, sundering all who would thwart ambition.
But then there are Sith who do not neatly fit into these three categories: Sith who are unwavering in their faith in the Dark Side. Sith who are believers, diviners, philosophers, and theologians… yet still Sith who hold that crimson blade aloft. Priests, paladins, oracles, witches, holy knights, and mystics. Sith who wield the Dark Side as a weapon, who are devoted and follow the Dark Side as a guide, and who look to the High Priestess as a symbol of dark piety and power.
These are the Hesperians.

History
The founding of the Hesperians remains somewhat shrouded in mystery—a recluse and esoteric Sith, High Priestess Hesper likely built the Hesperians with the desire to form a lasting assemblage of like-minded Sith. Following a whirlwind war that left Darth Hesper blind in one eye and anointed with the gift to see into the future, she began her quest to build her following and claim her throne worlds, becoming a symbol of devotion and dark power…
