Belia Darzu

Belia Darzu was a female Shi'ido who reigned as a Dark Lord of the Sith during the last quarter of the New Sith Wars. A born shape-shifter, Darzu typically appeared as a tall Human woman with short brown hair. In 1250 BBY, she led the revived Sith Empire at the beginning of a period called the Sictis Wars. An accomplished Sith alchemist, Lord Darzu studied an obscure Force technique known as mechu-deru, leading her to concoct a virus capable of transforming its victims into mutated cyborgs—technobeasts. Using a hidden fortress on the planet Tython, she created an army of technobeasts in a campaign against the Galactic Republic and its Jedi protectors. By 1230 BBY, the Dark Lord had fallen victim to a conspiracy to end her life. Pursued by her traitorous Sith followers and the vengeful Mecrosa Order, Darzu's reign culminated in her assassination.
