The Mask of Lord Momin
"Never believe any of your creations are perfect. Only believe the next one could be."
—Darth Momin

The Mask of Lord Momin was a dark side artifact that originally belonged to the notorious and brilliant sculptor and intellectual Sith Lord Darth Momin. After crafting a superweapon capable of destroying an entire city, Momin was killed by Jedi and his consciousness became trapped in the mask. It lay dormant in the Jedi archives on Coruscant for many years until Darth Sidious' rise to power, when the former Chancellor inspected the Jedi artifacts. Sidious gave the mask as a gift to Darth Vader, who took it to Mustafar. The mask tricked Vader and resurrected its owner, but Vader killed Momin. The last known location of the mask was on Sidious' ship, Imperialis, which was since been destroyed.
Overview
Sith Lord Darth Momin and his history are shrouded in deep mystery, a sinister story prone to speculation. There are a few key facts that are known to be fact, however. Momin was a notorious artist, imprisoned due to his ghastly pieces, but freed by a Sith Lord to serve as her apprentice. As he learned about the Dark side and formed his own beliefs, Momin grew to find that in his opinion, one who calls themselves a Master of the Dark side, is doing it a disservice, as the Sith are the ones who are meant to be serving the Force, not the other way around. Thus, he killed his Master and sought to do his own research.
Not much is known about the period after that, but eventually the Sith Lord amassed such power that he was able to craft a superweapon capable of destroying a city, claiming that the Dark side itself had commanded him to do so. After the destruction, he was killed by the Jedi, but losing control of his powers, he managed to imprison his consciousness in his helmet. The Jedi stashed it in the archives on Coruscant, where it was found by Darth Sidious a long time later.

Sidious gifted Vader three things on one fateful day--though many historical accounts only focus on the first two. A ship and Mustafar are the most well known of the gifts, but the third has seemingly fallen through the cracks of history due to its perceived irrelevance. The Mask of Lord Momin was the third gift, and it is imperceivable foolish to consider its awe-some power irrelevant.
The Mask possessed Vader's chief Imperial architect, Colonel Alva Brenne. It possessed her apprentice, Roggo, who Vader found wearing the mask and struck him down. In the few brief minutes that the mask had been active, it had used Roggo's body to draw up the first ever draft plans of the now-notorious Fortress Vader. His interest perked, the Darth harnessed the powers of the mask to have his Fortress built, though it took much trial and error. On the ninth try, the mask was successful in designing a fortress to serve as a fork that siphons the Dark side properly, making use of the locus of dark power under it. However, it tricked Vader, resurrecting its original owner. Lord Momin attempted to kill him, but only managed to seriously wound before being crushed by a rock by Vader's hand.
The mask was then stored on Sidious' Imperialis, where it foiled the plans of a few infiltrators, who were forced to program the ship to self destruct and flee. Since then, the Mask of Lord Momin has disappeared from records, and none truly know where it is.
As for its powers, the mask is a fearsome object, possessing Darth Momin's very consciousness inside. It is capable of possessing the weaker willed without even touching them, controlling them and forcing them to put it on so that it may exercise greater power over them. The mind inside it is a brilliant one, and the mask could, alternatively, serve as an absolute treasure trove of information otherwise lost to history. Dark siders can use it to further their knowledge and learn how to further their attunement to the Force by seeking the advisement of Darth Momin, but taming it is not only difficult, but possibly impossible. Those brave enough to do business with the mask run a very high risk of being overwhelmed by the corruption, should they not be able to protect their will.
