Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Clone Wars Campaign Guide
Rising to prominence shortly after the Battle of Naboo, The Believers, based in the Cularin System, are a cult of Force-sensitive beings. Members devote their energies to studying and embracing The Dark Side of The Force, with the intent of following the doctrines and customs of the ancient Sith that existed before Darth Bane. Rejecting Bane's Rule of Two, The Believers seek to expand their numbers to eventually challenge the Jedi directly and usher in a new age for the Sith. All Believers can be recognized by a distinctive tattoo, a shape that resembles the spire of the Sith fortress on Almas with a broken lightsaber at its base.
At first, the existence of The Believers is thought to be nothing more than rumor, since their presence cannot be confirmed by even The Jedi. During the Clone Wars, however, Jedi stationed in the Cularin System slowly begin turning to The Dark Side and joining The Believers, confirming the existence of The Dark Side cult and increasing its size. As their numbers swell, The Believers create a plague virus to eradicate the Caarite race and the Metatheran Cartel. Initially, the virus is successful, but it is stopped by a counteragent created from samples of the virus recovered from early victims of the plague. With their plans foiled, The Believers abandon the Sith Temple on Almas and go underground for a short time.
The Believers return later, when The Darkstaff, a Sith Artifact, attempts to protect itself from a group of agents that discover its connection to the shadow lurkers and the Oblee. Found by Len Markus in the Cularin asteroid belt, the artifact possesses him and rises to become the new leader of The Believers. The Darkstaff calls on The Believers to destroy the freelance agents that hunted it. However, the agents manage to thwart The Believers and free the Oblee.
Members of The Believers gain access to the Believer Disciple Talent Tree.
