As much as I love ur comment... Necromancy doesn't even start with Nihilus. Mostly because he just kills people around him and NOT bring them back. But bringing the shop back I'd assume is pretty simple for these old sith lords

There was another Centurion-class battlecruiser active in the aftermath of the Great Galactic War called the Tears of Taris, this ship albeit heavily modified, combinded both Centurion and Harrower class parts. The Tears of Taris first served during the Jedi Civil war and was part of Darth Malak's fleet that bombarded and devastated the planet Taris. After the end of the Jedi Civil War and the fall of Malak's Sith Empire, the ship changed hands many times over the centuries that followed, but it always served the Sith.
@OdinSmilesRavensLaugh72051 Fair enough. I shall add you to my Enemies List. 🧐😤😡👾👿 You are currently # 1,897. I will update you of any changes. May the Force befoul your Cheerios.😝
I feel like the Ravager’s durability wasn’t due to any special force thing so much as it was the fact that it was already destroyed. The weapons and engines are powered by the force, so there are no munitions or fuel to detonate. If Nihilus was already generating an atmosphere using the force, then a few more hull breaches weren’t gonna matter. It’s like fighting a necromorph in Dead Space: anything resembling a brain or vital organ is long gone, so you gotta dismember them. Which is exactly what the mandalorians did by placing explosives at strategic locations.
@@theendisnigh4497 he is believe me lol, nihilus yes, he would be the most dangerous and powerfull sith of all time, he was the only sith to become a wound in the force, but he got stopped before reaching his peak. In a what if' scenario he is the most powerfull, but in storyline he falls short.
Canon palps, understandable. Legends palps, no. Legends palps’s force lighting is strong enough to warp space and corrupt the flow of the force in a area permanently if he put in enough of his power
Yes I had heard of the Ravager. Years ago I invaded it and fought Nilus on the bridge. KoTOR2 was a hell of a game and I love it! A zombie ship crewed by a zombie crew with a husk of a man who is no longer a man managing it all. Sounds like necromancy of the highest order to me.
I think the Eclipse that Palpatine used in legends could compare to the ship Darth Nihilus made as his capital ship. But the Ravager scares me the most than the Eclipse does
Jedi & Sith used to make Force Swords by restructuring the metal on a molecular level forming lattice with the force as they pounded it into the shape of a sword, & then they'd take a focusing Crystal(I think), & marry it to the sword so that the force user, the crystal & the weapon "became one in the force". I think Darth Nihilus did the same, but without a crystal & the sheer scale. I was thinking of making an OC whose goal to make a planet for himself using technology, the force & his own material wealth.
I still fail to see why people think palpatine is stronger than this guy. He literally eats planets and forces a massive destroyed republic warship back into operation. Plapatine doesn’t have any feats that are even close to that kind of power.
I love learning about Nihilus. When I played kotor 2, I was in a d&d game that had a heavy focus on necromancer. As I played the game, it felt more and more like Nihilus was able to became a star wars necromancer because he was a husk himself and only made of force in a sense. The massive negative effect from raising the dead with the force dont apply to him in that regard.
I'm replaying this after many years and it still rocks IMO. Atton's backstory ("in the end I killed her because I loved her"), HK-47 calling everybody meatbags, force persuading thugs into suicide, Canderous is 100% thug life, Kreia resents the force as a manipulative sociopath etc. Classic RPG. I hear the light side playthrough is OK too.
Light side playthrough is better than “OK,” it’s actually narratively satisfying! Everything you talked about in this comment still happens in a light side playthrough, as does so much more! You get to use other powers than force lightning, the story has a satisfying conclusion, AND the thematic ideas of the Jedi who cast you out being really fucking stupid acts as a really neat narrative through line! Actually, I wanna talk about that last bit, ‘cause it deserves elaboration. So the Jedi masters you spend the game finding? Completely fucking stupid in a way that you only really appreciate as a good guy. If you’re evil, they (reasonably) call you a murder-hobo and try to kill you. If you’re good, they decide you’ve actually secretly been Darth Nihilus the whole time and try to kill you. And then you realize that each one of them represents a major flaw in the old Jedi order that led to the Jedi being hated now. Vrook is an asshole who thinks he’s hot shit even when he’s obviously and objectively wrong and thinks his pride is more important than people’s lives, Zez-Kai El just straight up doesn’t do shit, Kavar acts like regular people just don’t matter, preferring to sit in a cushy palace and tell the queen to make bad decisions, and Vash is just not skilled or powerful enough to make a difference. Also the Sith Lords themselves are actually pretty pathetic once you get past the phenomenal cosmic power. Sion is so miserable you tell him to fuck of and die and he *does.* Nihilus is basically the very hungry caterpillar. Traya has such a fuckhuge victim complex that she invents an imaginary personality for the *force itself* just so she can blame it for all of her problems. All of this, REGARDLESS of light/dark. I do not wish to be associated with them. Power of the dark side, more like power to be a sad, pathetic little man. Sidious had the right idea: being an unhinged cackling madman is WAY more fun than whatever these losers have going on.
Light Side is honestly better from a story perspective and it’s better for playing a dual-wielding Guardian/Weapon Master. So the gameplay also rocks. 🤌 The Dark Side runs were fun as a kid, but you just miss out on so much context with party members that help fill in the blanks in the broader story and so you get a much more satisfying finale than a, “I’m the Dark Lord now” kinda speel.
I find either version followed conisitently gets a bit much (too goody two shows or cartoonishly evil) but in real life I am not murderously Machiavellian and deal with BS so dark side gaming is cathartic. The dark side is literally easier since you kill ppl and take their stuff and I love how in SWOTOR online you can play the light side plot in a dark side manner; do the right thing in the most brutal manner possible.
Nihilus was the first sith lord to trully become inmortal without the need of essence transfer or cloned bodies, as keria said, "he is already dead, it is a matter of how many he kills before he falls" by that logic, he can't fall as long there is life in the universe, and he can't be killed becouse he is already dead, as for me Darth Nihilus is the literal embodiment of the dark side, too bad there is not much material about him out there, i would say he is the most powerfull or atleast in the top 3 of the most powerfull sithlords of all star wars IP.
So glad to see people like wave cover old republic stuff love both kotor games. This ship is so under appreciated I mean it is evil, dark and dangerous. This ship was meant for someone like him who was built from malachor v. You hear mandalore say let’s remind the galaxy of malachor v but I think this ship was meant to remind the galaxy of the malevolent forces of the sith.
when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, any nasty dark side force stuff Vitiate throws at Nihilus he will just consume like a freaking happy meal. But at the same time, Vitiate is a demi god that is partially immortal. Vitiate will win by staying away from Nihilus until he finds a way to defeat Nihilus or at least sends him into the void. So it will take Vitiate some time, but he will win.
True but since Vitiate is also a demi god who cannot fully die, i think that the two of them would struggle for control of Nihilus body and mind for all eternity, which fits well with the rumor in star wars that anyone who would dare put on the mask of Nihilus would gain his power, but also lose themselves as he would possess the victim and be born again from the void that he remains in after his first defeat.@@BruderSenf
Okay im very curious, i think we can all agree that Exar Kun is one of the OG GOATS of the Sith, but please explain how Exar will defeat the force wound.@@Ariapeithes_
The Old Republic lore goes dark and hard. This guy just sucked the force out of places and people followed him because they wanted everything to go quiet. They didn't seek power. Just bitter nihilism.
In a cinema version of the Mandalorian boarding team id like to imagine it being pitch black in there. Quiet and oppressive. Abit like being underwater with dulled sounds and senses. With distant moans and footsteps. Where the Mandalorians get paranoid from the surreal lack of perceived resistance and the uncanny indifference of the place. Its a pretty cool visual. Imagine a Mandalorian getting increasingly isolated and percieving the rest of his team disappearing. He does his job and gets out of there and finds that most of the rest of the team made it out. Angrily he finds out that some of them were right beside him in the same room and perceived him acting strange. Some went through similar isolating experiences and some never got out. Weird psychological horror like that.
In KOTOR 2, the Mandalorian overseeing the strike, Zuka, actually makes note of how strange the Sith resistance is on the ship. He says something like, “The Sith don’t even seem to realise we’ve boarded.” Which is meant to allude to how detached Nihilus is from reality. Like how he can’t even be bothered with events happening on his own ship. But in addition to the undead crewmates, you also fight a battalion of Sith soldiers that used to be in Malak’s army (which doesn’t make them Sith, they’re Republic defectors.) And these guys are very clearly weirded out and disturbed by Nihilus and his retinue, his Sith acolytes. Especially as earlier in the game, on Dxun and on Onderon, Nihilus treats these soldiers as readily disposable and his acolytes become fond of using strange brands of “Sith humour” to deal with them. Helps make Nihilus seem really enigmatic and even a bit eldritch.
Tbf, that’s KOTOR 2. Especially in a Dark Side play through…. I never feel “good” after a play through on the Dark Side and sometimes partway through a play through, I’ll actually stop making Dark Side choices just to stop my character from doing progressively more horrible shit.
So technically this would mean that the Raveger is still out there, somewhere, either crashed or just floating. However if that is the case then only a powerful force user would be able to resist the ship and escape alive, anuyone else would either die or become a slave, assuming nihlis spirit is still connected to the ship, he would be able to come back but with difficulty
No, in KOTOR 2, it is very much destroyed along with Nihilus. He and the ship were bound together, so in order to destroy one you have to destroy the other. Defeating Nihilus first is essential, otherwise, the Ravager won’t be destroyed.
@Nikelaos_Khristianos I was talking more about it being just a wreck or shell, not completely disintegrated, and we know that an object or place can still be affected long since a sith lord has passed and been cut off from said places or objects and besides Nihles wasn't bound to the ship like he was to his mask and robes, it was the other way around, the ship was bound to him, he also is a wound in the force, which isn't easy to heal and as we know all wounds leave scars
@@hgtrftfr Sure parts of the vessel itself could still be orbiting Telos IV… horrifying thought. But I do allude to the fact that the Ravager is tied to Nihilus in the last line. Because the ship cannot be destroyed without destroying Nihilus. Which is also part of my point: The ship wouldn’t have persisted if Nihilus hadn’t been destroyed completely. Plus, him being a wound in the Force certainly can leave a “scar.” We never got a KOTOR 3, so we never got to see what such a scar would look like. But personally, I would say Nihilus’ destruction seemed pretty total and final. I can’t seem him being the sort of guy to make holocrons considering that by the time the Exile fights him, it’s just his hunger that remains of him.
Yes. Nihilus would’ve been brought into being after the battle on Malachor, when the Mass Shadow Generator was activated. While Revan and Malak fought the Jedi Civil War, the Exile was away from the Republic, travelling the galaxy. Vitiate would have been biding his time on Dromund Kaas. And at the same time, Nihilus and Sion would’ve been training/plotting to betray Traya and start hunting down the Jedi in the wake of the Civil War. The only thing I can’t quite work out in the chronology of events is if Nihilus and Sion betrayed Traya before or after Revan defeats Malak and journeys to Malachor before heading to the Unknown Regions. Because Traya tells the Exile that they are following Revan’s path and Bastila says that Revan went to Malachor and then the Unknown Regions because they eventually remembered something about the Sith hiding out there (which does extend to Malachor itself, it was on the fringes of their ancient empire.) The Jedi Exile is the one who gave the order to activate the Mass Shadow Generator. Bao-Dur was the one who engaged the mechanism. That’s why these two characters are effectively traumatised in the ways that they are in KOTOR 2, the bear the responsibility for all the lives that were lost on Malachor.
It's been my opinion for a long time that Nihilus is the most powerful darksider in the lore. It's heavily implied that only the exile could defeat him due to also being a wound. Every other challenger would be crushed easily.
You’ll still have people ignore the fact that Kreia specifically had to seek out the outcast to have any chance of stopping him before he became so powerful he’d consume the entire galaxy.
There are some that could contest him, but he is certainly one of the most powerful. I do think that the Nihilus who the exile defeated would lose to Vitiate or Sidious both of whom could resist his force drain at that point. However, going on something Kreia said, that being that if Nihilus were not stopped soon and were allowed to continue consuming worlds, his power would keep growing; thus I think if the exile had failed and Nihilus had gone on to devour all life in the galaxy, he would've grown exponentially more powerful, perhaps to the degree that the likes of Vitiate, Sidious and perhaps even deities would have serious trouble trying to put down.
Sorry, no one but the exile could resist Darth Nihilus's Force Drain. Plus, there's nothing either Vitiate or Sidious can do to destroy Nihilus; he simply just feeds on anything they throw at him because he's a wound in the Force.
There is so much good material to use in the Sith Trio era that’s too good to not use for a movie or show. This guy was crazy OP, would be great for a mature rated SW movie
I wonder if Nihilanth from the first ½life game somehow inspired the lore of Darth Nihilus. Nihilanth could control both biologics and spacetime portals as long as he maintained his concentration. Similarly, it seems, Darth Nihilus could hold his ship together and control his zombies with The Force.
I feel like he must have had some connection to this vessel. We know very little about the being that became Nihlus, maybe he served on it in his past life.
Just as Revan was made canon, I genuinely think Nihilus would be worthy of a Star Wars horror film, if given the correct director and writer(s). Alas, such an idea is a pipe dream.
"you were right about the ship, mandalore, it is of malachor. It still beats the wounds of mandolorion guns."-kotor 2 "I know that ship it was at malachor v"- carth onasi KOTOR 2 "This ship, is it his weakness? It shouldn't exist. Yet it travels between the stars. He holds it together with his power"- colonel tobin-kotor 2
Nihilus could already do amazing things just think of what he could accomplish if he wasn't controlling a ship and zombie crew all at the same time as eating planets. This sort of thing is why I never bought into the idea your pal darth wrinkles friendpatine was the most powerful sith.
This is extremely terrifying ship. I remember it in KOTOR. What you said is true. We had to board the ship and blow it from inside.We put explosives in the holes. Extremely terrifying ship.May the Force be with you too

This is what I want to see in a new Star Wars movie. Not Disney's identity politics.
U reckon Nihilus had allot of snacks on there?
You mean Jedi or Sith?
We need legends to continue its story. We need Star Wars legends🙏
You should do a video on palpatines yacht from the lando comics
Though Legends contains other cases of whole capital ships being moved by the Force. Yoda was quite right in noting that "Size matters not."
Top three sith lords in order:
1. Darth Maul
2. Darth Nihilus
3. Darth Vader
Lol Darth Mail? What is he the sith lord of couriers?
@@samdickenson5852 fixed it lol but nice catch
Old Republic >>>>>>>>>>>>>
So technically this would mean that the Raveger is still out there, somewhere, either crashed or just floating. However if that is the case then only a powerful force user would be able to resist the ship and escape alive, anuyone else would either die or become a slave, assuming nihlis spirit is still connected to the ship, he would be able to come back but with difficulty
No, in KOTOR 2, it is very much destroyed along with Nihilus. He and the ship were bound together, so in order to destroy one you have to destroy the other. Defeating Nihilus first is essential, otherwise, the Ravager won’t be destroyed.
@Nikelaos_Khristianos I was talking more about it being just a wreck or shell, not completely disintegrated, and we know that an object or place can still be affected long since a sith lord has passed and been cut off from said places or objects and besides Nihles wasn't bound to the ship like he was to his mask and robes, it was the other way around, the ship was bound to him, he also is a wound in the force, which isn't easy to heal and as we know all wounds leave scars
@@hgtrftfr Sure parts of the vessel itself could still be orbiting Telos IV… horrifying thought. But I do allude to the fact that the Ravager is tied to Nihilus in the last line. Because the ship cannot be destroyed without destroying Nihilus. Which is also part of my point: The ship wouldn’t have persisted if Nihilus hadn’t been destroyed completely.
Plus, him being a wound in the Force certainly can leave a “scar.” We never got a KOTOR 3, so we never got to see what such a scar would look like. But personally, I would say Nihilus’ destruction seemed pretty total and final. I can’t seem him being the sort of guy to make holocrons considering that by the time the Exile fights him, it’s just his hunger that remains of him.
Wait, so Nihilus was alive at the same time as Revan, Malak, and Vitiate...?
Also isn't Revan the one who activated the Shadow Generator?
Yes. Nihilus would’ve been brought into being after the battle on Malachor, when the Mass Shadow Generator was activated. While Revan and Malak fought the Jedi Civil War, the Exile was away from the Republic, travelling the galaxy. Vitiate would have been biding his time on Dromund Kaas. And at the same time, Nihilus and Sion would’ve been training/plotting to betray Traya and start hunting down the Jedi in the wake of the Civil War.
The only thing I can’t quite work out in the chronology of events is if Nihilus and Sion betrayed Traya before or after Revan defeats Malak and journeys to Malachor before heading to the Unknown Regions. Because Traya tells the Exile that they are following Revan’s path and Bastila says that Revan went to Malachor and then the Unknown Regions because they eventually remembered something about the Sith hiding out there (which does extend to Malachor itself, it was on the fringes of their ancient empire.)
The Jedi Exile is the one who gave the order to activate the Mass Shadow Generator. Bao-Dur was the one who engaged the mechanism. That’s why these two characters are effectively traumatised in the ways that they are in KOTOR 2, the bear the responsibility for all the lives that were lost on Malachor.
It's been my opinion for a long time that Nihilus is the most powerful darksider in the lore. It's heavily implied that only the exile could defeat him due to also being a wound. Every other challenger would be crushed easily.
You’ll still have people ignore the fact that Kreia specifically had to seek out the outcast to have any chance of stopping him before he became so powerful he’d consume the entire galaxy.
except valkorion obviously, and probably Dark Empire Palpatine, and Abeloth.
Abeloth.
There are some that could contest him, but he is certainly one of the most powerful. I do think that the Nihilus who the exile defeated would lose to Vitiate or Sidious both of whom could resist his force drain at that point. However, going on something Kreia said, that being that if Nihilus were not stopped soon and were allowed to continue consuming worlds, his power would keep growing; thus I think if the exile had failed and Nihilus had gone on to devour all life in the galaxy, he would've grown exponentially more powerful, perhaps to the degree that the likes of Vitiate, Sidious and perhaps even deities would have serious trouble trying to put down.
Sorry, no one but the exile could resist Darth Nihilus's Force Drain. Plus, there's nothing either Vitiate or Sidious can do to destroy Nihilus; he simply just feeds on anything they throw at him because he's a wound in the Force.
The man was so powerful he used a destroy ship just to fly through the stars
This would make a great limited edition streaming season for Halloween.
There is so much good material to use in the Sith Trio era that’s too good to not use for a movie or show. This guy was crazy OP, would be great for a mature rated SW movie
You forgot to Mention Revans Leviathan
Leviathan was Malaks flagship, Revan flagship was propably destroyed when Bastila boarded and Malak fired full salvo.
@panzerek9522 it was both of their ship at somepoint
I looked at the title and thought ship as in romance and wondered who would go with Darth Nhilas.
Darth Nihilus was just a different kind of Sith lord altogether.
Welcome back!
This video has perfect captioning
Nihilus needs to be Canon
The Emperor from the Eternal Empire is my favorite because he didn't take too far what Nihilus did, but I still can't deny this Sith Lord was a BEAST
I wonder if Nihilanth from the first ½life game somehow inspired the lore of Darth Nihilus.
Nihilanth could control both biologics and spacetime portals as long as he maintained his concentration.
Similarly, it seems, Darth Nihilus could hold his ship together and control his zombies with The Force.
It’s the revenge of the ship. The Ravager really is a nightmare.
I feel like he must have had some connection to this vessel. We know very little about the being that became Nihlus, maybe he served on it in his past life.
They need to bring Nihilus into current cannon, hes such a cool character
The Malacor ship awsome.... Im playing this game right now. Don't worry your not spoiling it. I've played this game a lot of times.
Just as Revan was made canon, I genuinely think Nihilus would be worthy of a Star Wars horror film, if given the correct director and writer(s). Alas, such an idea is a pipe dream.
"you were right about the ship, mandalore, it is of malachor. It still beats the wounds of mandolorion guns."-kotor 2
"I know that ship it was at malachor v"- carth onasi KOTOR 2
"This ship, is it his weakness? It shouldn't exist. Yet it travels between the stars. He holds it together with his power"- colonel tobin-kotor 2
Darth Nihilus, I wish to be your apprentice.
As a collector of Lego UCS star wars it would be cool if Lego did this ship with a Nihilus minifig. One can dream.
You learn this playing KotOR II The Sith Lords. Once Nihilus dies, the ship disintegrates. Kreia, Visas Made and others tell you about the ship.
A hole in the hull doesn't make a ship useless. Even in Halo they would vent internal atmosphere to avoid explosive decompression.
I wanna know what Palpatine had to say about Nihilis, this type and level of power.
Nihilist would destroy Palpa teen.
Man palpatine is like a child compared to this monster
Actually Sidious is more so according to the lore.
Most likely in a way the ship was transformed by a form of sith alchemy - changing it not on purpose but by instinct.
The Sith on board was alive too.
expanded universe lore be like:
Where is my Nihilus trilogy?!
If you play Knights of the Old Republic II The Sith Lords you'll learn all about this plus other cool star wars stuff
Nihilus could already do amazing things just think of what he could accomplish if he wasn't controlling a ship and zombie crew all at the same time as eating planets. This sort of thing is why I never bought into the idea your pal darth wrinkles friendpatine was the most powerful sith.
This is extremely terrifying ship. I remember it in KOTOR. What you said is true. We had to board the ship and blow it from inside.We put explosives in the holes. Extremely terrifying ship.May the Force be with you too
Could it be possible for a Jedi powerful in the Light Side of the force resurrect a ship back from destruction?
Does anyone know the name of the instrumental music used in the beginning of this video? I’ve been trying to find its name for a while
I don't know anyone, that doesn't Love Darth Nihilis
