Unveiling the Enigmatic Acolytes of the Beyond

The Acolytes of the Beyond were a group of Sith cultists who, despite lacking Force sensitivity, devoted themselves to the dark side religion. Their belief in defying destiny and wielding the dark side's power set them apart, worshipping deceased Sith lords as martyrs and seeking out Sith artifacts.

Tracing the Origins of the Acolytes

After Darth Vader's sacrifice, the Acolytes emerged from the shadows, led by Yupe Tashu and driven by their obsession with Sith relics. Members like Remi and Kiza played pivotal roles, succumbing to the dark influence of the Sith artifacts they acquired, leading the cult into acts of terrorism against the New Republic.

Discovering the Fate of the Acolytes

Following Tashu's demise and internal conflicts within the group, the Acolytes disbanded, with some members defecting while others faded into obscurity. Their legacy, however, left a mark on the Sith's resurgence, contributing to the dark side's enduring presence in the galaxy.
