Jedi Lore Keeper: Warden of Wisdom: The Oppressor

The Oppressor: Darth Angral’s Dreadnought of Wrath and Final Judgment

📖 General Lore:

The Oppressor was a Sith Dreadnought of immense size and brutality, forged in the depths of Imperial ambition and darkness. It replaced The Darkness as Darth Angral’s personal flagship during the height of the Cold War. A terrifying symbol of the Sith Lord’s wrath, The Oppressor was not merely a warship—it was a stage for vengeance, fear, and spectacle.

As part of the Sith campaign to destabilize the Galactic Republic, Darth Angral dispatched his apprentices to hunt down and seize Republic superweapon projects. His operations were not covert; they were calculated to provoke fear. Among his most infamous acts aboard The Oppressor was the public execution of Jedi Master Orgus Din, broadcast across the HoloNet. The event sent shockwaves throughout the galaxy and became a rallying call for Jedi retaliation.

Following the devastating assault on the planet Uphrades, Angral turned his wrath toward the very heart of the Jedi Order—Tython. The Sith dreadnought entered the system with intent to annihilate the Jedi homeworld. Yet, in the shadows of vengeance stood resolve: a young Jedi Knight and their Padawan, Kira Carsen, boarded The Oppressor, sabotaged its internal power systems, and confronted Darth Angral upon the very bridge where Orgus Din had fallen.

In the final moments, the Sith Lord was defeated, and The Oppressor was consumed by destruction—symbolizing both the end of Angral’s terror and the resilience of the Jedi spirit.

Jedi Lore Keeper’s Perspective:

“A vessel can carry more than crew—it may carry pain, anger, or redemption. The Oppressor bore all three before it fell among the stars.”
— Master Sal-Daril, Tythonian Archivist

To the Jedi, The Oppressor represents a cautionary tale not just of war, but of pride, power, and the dangers of revenge. While ships are often tools of travel or defense, this dreadnought became a temple of wrath, consecrated with blood and vengeance. The live execution of Master Orgus Din remains one of the most searing wounds in recent Jedi history—a moment meant to break morale, yet it only galvanized resolve.

The Jedi teachings remind us that anger begets suffering. And Darth Angral, in his obsession with retribution, chose to wield fear as his greatest weapon. Yet it was not fear, but hope and duty, that brought about his end. The Knight who boarded that vessel did not act out of revenge, but out of necessity—to protect the light, not punish the dark.

The fall of The Oppressor over Tython is a symbol etched into Jedi history: when darkness seeks to erase light, it is light that must illuminate the path—no matter the cost.
