Both sides, represented by the Galactic Senate and the Minister of Logistics respectively, formed treaties with Zakuul, promising regular tribute, which was more than needed for the Eternal Empire, which Arcann had unspecified plans for. Within months, he had forced the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire into submission. However, he sensed that Valkorion was inhabiting the Outlander and had the outsider frozen in carbonite.Īrcann's war was swift and brutal. As the new Emperor of Zakuul, Arcann used his father's murder as an excuse to launch an attack on the Core Worlds. As Valkorion extended his offer to share his Empire with the Outlander, he is seemingly killed, and Arcann assumes the throne in his place. Vaylin then ordered everyone to clear the room, save for Arcann, Valkorion and the Outlander. Marr refused and was executed for his defiance. Arcann then brought the prisoners before Valkorion, who offered them a chance to kneel. But before they could enter the Eternal Throne room, Arcann was approached by the Scion Heskal, who reiterated his warning that the Outlander was dangerous, but was ignored. In the aftermath of the battle, Arcann recovered two survivors, Darth Marr and the Outlander, whom he brought directly to his father. Looking up, Arcann saw his father standing over him, reaching his arm out and imploring him to come with Valkorion.Īrcann later attempted to inform his father of a joint Imperial-Republic fleet approaching their territory, but Valkorion was already aware, and sent the Eternal Fleet to intercept them. He cradled his brother in his arms as Thexan died of his wound. Thexan glanced at his brother with a look of resignation, and the light of the dark side faded from Arcann's eyes as he realized what he had done. Arcann lashed out and struck his brother across the torso. Arcann was furious that his brother stopped him, and turned his fury on Theran and dueled with him briefly. Theran used the Force to pull Arcann back in an attempt to prevent his father's death. Enraged, he ignited his lightsaber and leaped at his father, intending to cut him down for all the things he's done to him and his brother. When Valkorion turned away without so much as a glance at the weapons, the light of the dark side ignited in Arcann's eyes as he became furious at his father's lack of caring. While fighting on Korriban, the ancient homeworld of the Sith, Arcann was wounded severely in the face and lost his left arm while waging a battle on a Sith planet, and soon after received a new jaw casing that covered the left side of his face, as well as a cybernetic left arm.Īrcann and Thexan eventually returned to Valkorion, presenting lightsabers of both Jedi and Sith as trophies of their successes in battle. Regardless, he and Thexan lead the Eternal Empire's armed forces to war against the Old Galactic Republic and True Sith Empire, driving both organizations at the brink of defeat. However, he soon grew angry of his father's lack of affection or interest in him and is brother as anything more than a tool. As they grew, both built and used lightsabers as their primary weapons, and upon reaching adulthood, were sent by their father to battle and dominate worlds. Both of them were sensitive to the Force, and were able to use it very effectively in combat. Arcann and his twin brother Thexan were born as noble princes to Valkorion, and trained from a very early age in combat.
