Topic: SW:TOR New Timeline Video Series - The Sith Archives
Hey there Star Wars fans,
Just wanted to share a new fan made video series with you. In the build up to the launch of Bioware's Star Wars MMO, we've begun a companion series to their official time-line videos and created the Sith Archives. We've already released the first three videos and have an entire series planned.
Check out the first entry in the Sith Archive here:
Details:
This is the first video in a series of timeline entries from the Sith Archives on Korriban.
A holorecord in the Sith Archive provides the first evidence of a new threat facing the galaxy as Darth Panopticus and the Silent Council emerge from two millennia of hibernation to unleash their rage and destructive force upon the known Galaxy. While both the Republic and Empire are building up for the coming war... in the shadows beyond the Outer Rim, an ancient Sith menace has been plotting the downfall of all who would dare to stand in their way. The darkness is coming and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
"Time is a lie, there is only patience.
Through patience, I gain perspective.
Through perspective, I gain knowledge.
Through knowledge, I gain control.
Through control, their chains are forged.
The Force shall enslave them."
- excerpt from the Holocron of Darth Panopticus

The Great Hyperspace War
Details:
The Great Hyperspace War was a war fought between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire in BTC 1347.
The conflict encompassed the entire Galactic Republic, though the main forces focused their attention on three Republic worlds, and later took the war to the remote star system Primus Goluud, and the Sith mausoleum world of Korriban.
After it overcame the initial shock of the Sith invasion, the Republic's armadas regrouped and annihilated the Sith Empire, forcing the Sith Lord Naga Sadow to exile himself to Yavin 4. In this record from the Sith Archive, Darth Panopticus retells the events of the Hyperspace war from a Sith perspective.

Archive #3
Resurrection Holocrons
Details:
BTC 440- The Sith scientist Darth Foucaultus explains the panoptic philosophy of power that operates as a core principle in the construction of Resurrection Holocrons.
The holocron was able to capture the appearance and cognitive networks of the holocron's owner, and transform this into a three-dimensional hologram. This gatekeeper acted as a guide through the holocron's store of information, as a search and recovery engine with a more personal touch. These gatekeepers could relate stories from the holocron's archives to events in the life of the one who activated the holocron.
