The Shattered Crown of Palpatine

A lot of people want the crown,
but they're not willing to bleed for it.



History

During his time as Emperor of the Galaxy, Palpatine slowly began to build a vast fortune in rare materials jewels and stones. The greatest single item within the Imperial treasury was the Imperial Crown, designed and created by the Sith Lord himself, a combination of the finest Jewellers in the Galaxy and the most powerful of Sith Alchemic techniques known to the Emperor. Black and Gold, it echoed the two sides of the man, Black for the Dark Lord of the Sith, Gold for the Galactic Emperor.

The crown would sit on his head through much of his reign, slowly the instrument began to absorb the pure darkness of Darth Sidious into it, becoming on its own a source of Dark Side Energy. The crown's profile was small enough that he was able to wear it under the great black hood of his Sith Robes. For by the time of his first death over the forest moon of Endor, the Sith Lord had come to understand the physical and mystical properties of the Crown and dared let it out of his sight.

Sitting upon his head as he tumbled to down the great shaft of Second Death Star, the Crown itself would be caught up in the transfer of consciousness, a small fragment of the Sith Lord's soul imbedding itself within the crown. As the Super Weapon crashed down upon water moon of Kef Bir, the Imperial Crown shattered under the weight of the explosion and the evil soul within. Splitting into five individual parts.

Over the coming years, those loyal to the Sith Eternal and the Undead Darth Sidious would visit the destroyed weapon and find the shards of the Crown spread throughout the lower levels of the Death Star. Each would claim a piece looking to return it to its rightful owner. However the dark corrupting energy within the Crown would break the minds of the scavengers, turning them away from their original purpose.

Over a hundred years later, only one of the five pieces have been returned to the Sith. Each sits in the hands of a corrupted individual somewhere in the darkness of the Galaxy, waiting for one strong enough in The Force to reunite them.

Each of the five pieces has within it a small fragment of Palpatine's soul and as such is able to grant its owner knowledge of one of the Sith Lord's impressive techniques. When once combines all five pieces of the Crown, its owner is able to fully understand the power of Darth Sidious and can access the power of Kyber Control.

Due to the powerful and corrupting influence of the fragmented soul within the united crown, only a Dark Side user at the rank of Councillor or equal power level can use the United Crown without falling under the will of Sidious. If a Light Side user wishes to cleanse or use the power within the Crown, only the Grandmaster or equal power level of the Order could accomplish this without falling to the Dark Side.

This is the master Lore article for the Five Shards of the Shattered Crown.

The Shattered Crown has been made to introduce a powerful Sith Artefact to the Site which can lead to a number of RP opportunities moving forward if someone wishes to claim one or all of the pieces.

I like the idea of the crown a lot, but I will never approve something that gives the ability to transfer one's consciousness into another body. It goes against one of the core rules of swrp which is: no immortality.

You'll have to come up with some other penultimate ability for it, I'm afraid.

Cheers Logan, swapped this out for Kyber Control.
