Shar Dakhan

Shar Dakhan was a Sith Lord active during the years leading up to the Great Hyperspace War. Dakhan ruled over the Sith Space world of Ch'hodos, which served as his primary base of operations. In the year 5000 BBY, Dakhan pledged his fleet to Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow, who at the time was preparing for a war against the Galactic Republic. To celebrate, Dakhan staged a large war rally on Ch'hodos, replete with vast legions of soldiers, warbeasts, and warships. Dakhan's fleet later served in the Sith invasion force in the Great Hyperspace War, with Dakhan himself personally commanding the Sith forces in the attack on the Republic capital of Coruscant. Dakhan's forces were opposed by a numerically inferior group of Jedi and Republic soldiers, but the Sith were defeated. After the defeat in Republic space, Shar Dakhan returned to the Sith Empire with the remaining Sith forces, and participated in a skirmish near Korriban against pursuing Republic forces. Towards the end of the battle, Sadow found himself trapped and fled; Dakhan subsequently took charge of the force, although he would be defeated again.
