"Die and be reborn!"
―Krannus preparing to engage the Jedi Knight[3]

Krannus was a rare non-Force-sensitive[4] male[2] Pureblood Sith who served as a military commander of the reconstituted Sith Empire during the Galactic War. Due to lacking a connection to the Force, Krannus was in danger of being left to die by his Sith parents. He was spared this fate by direct order of the Sith Emperor. Although Krannus was considered inferior to Force-wielding Sith, his heritage raised him above the ordinary Humans of the Imperial Military.[4]

Krannus served as one of the Empire's highest ranks–Executor–and wielded his supreme authority as a fiercely-devoted servant of the Emperor who spared his life. On his dark master's orders, Krannus led a death-worshipping cult whose members believed the Emperor was a godlike being who will bestow immortality and unlimited power upon them if they brought about the galaxy's destruction.[4]

To achieve this goal, Krannus went to Belsavis in order to destroy the whole planet to start the Emperor's ritual, but was stopped and killed by the Hero of Tython.

  1. ↑ SWTOR mini Forums: Dear Story Team, What Year Are We Currently In? on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) and Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia establish that the Battle of Ilum and the end of Act III for the class storylines of Star Wars: The Old Republic occur in late 3640 BBY and prior to the events of The Old Republic: Annihilation, which is also set in 3640 BBY per The Essential Reader's Companion. Annihilation establishes that the Treaty of Coruscant collapsed approximately eighteen months prior, or in 3641 BBY, and as Act III occurs after the treaty's collapse, the act begins sometime between 3641 BBY and 3640 BBY. This article assumes that Belsavis, as the start of Act III, takes place around the end of 3641 BBY.
