Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Jedi Academy Training Manual
It is a common misconception within the greater galactic community that all of The Jedi are wiped out by the infamous Order 66. While this eliminates the bulk of The Jedi Order, the Sith Lord known as Darth Sidious knows that he cannot wipe out The Jedi with a single decisive blow. He plots the extermination of the remaining Jedi by forming a group he calls The Prophets of the Dark Side.
Palpatine uses various agents to seek out disgruntled Force-users tempted by The Dark Side. He eliminates the ones that could become rivals but spares the handful who demonstrate an aptitude for prophecy or Farseeing. He gathers these Force-sensitive fortune tellers, some of them former Jedi, and gives them a new mission. They are to use their gifts to protect The Galactic Empire from unknown threats and to help Lord Vader hunt down the remaining Jedi. Palpatine entrusts these seers to two of his closest agents, Jedgar and Kadann.
The Prophets of the Dark Side seek out others like themselves- beings sensitive to The Force who might aid the Emperor's quest to bring order to the galaxy. Those who cannot be molded into Prophets are trained to become other Dark Side servants. If they resist the wiles of the Prophets, they are eliminated. In fact, their gift for prophecy snuffs out quite a few bright lights in an otherwise dark time.
Much as Darth Sidious operates for years under the watch of The Jedi, so do the Prophets act within the Empire. Secretive and hidden from view, they have access to the highest levels of Imperial Intelligence and consult with Lord Vader himself. Troublesome individuals who appear in their visions are visited by the Emperor's Hand and dealt with accordingly. Although various Moffs are aware of the existence of the group, most of them dismiss the Prophets as sycophants and bootlicking political advisors of the Emperor.
Membership[]
Only individuals who possess the Force Sensitivity feat and possess either the Visions Talent or Farseeing Force Power can become a member of The Prophets of the Dark Side, by being initiated by an elder Prophet.
