Seyugi Dervishes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Seyugi Dervishes were ancient cult of assassins was based on the planet Recopia. Distinguished by their red cloaks and white masks, to hide their appearances. The Seyugi Dervishes were Force-sensitive, just enough to enhance their combat skills and help them locate and capture their prey.

The Seyugi eschewed any formal training in the Force, preferring to use it to discover new and deadlier ways to kill sentinents. They hired out their services to the wealthiest of the Core Worlds' inhabitants, and the appearance of their red robes drove a spike of fear into the hearts of millions. They spread throughout the Core for several decades before the Jedi Knights intervened.

In a swift move, the Jedi eliminated all but the Seyugi base on Recopia, which remained hidden beneath the main fortress on Mallif Cove. Hidden in its lower levels, a cave held several hibernation chambers containing a thousand Seyugi disciples, frozen in carbonite and waiting to be reanimated.
