The Sith Lord Sadic
In the deepest levels of the Imperial prison district of Shadow Town on Nar Shaddaa, rumors whispered of a figure known only as Sadic. Unlike most Sith, Sadic preferred not the throne rooms of Dromund Kaas or the warfronts of the Outer Rim, but the labyrinthine alleys of the Smuggler’s Moon.
The prison district was his domain. Behind rusting durasteel walls and energy-shielded cages, thousands of captives—political dissidents, smugglers, failed apprentices, and even fallen Jedi—were subjected to his twisted experiments. Sadic believed true strength was born only through suffering, and Shadow Town offered him an endless supply of broken wills to mold.
Some said he walked the cellblocks in silence, his presence enough to choke the air, the prisoners falling to their knees as shadows bent unnaturally toward him. Others claimed he had bargained with the Hutts, offering them force-broken slaves in exchange for protection and secrecy.
Whispers in the underworld insisted that Nar Shaddaa itself seemed darker when Sadic stirred—its neon lights dimmed, and the perpetual rain fell heavier, as if the moon recoiled from his presence.
Lord Sadic’s Laboratory – “The Black Cells”
Hidden beneath the prison blocks of Shadow Town lies Sadic’s true domain: The Black Cells. On the surface, it resembles just another wing of the overcrowded detention sector. But behind secured blast doors marked with ancient Sith runes, the prison gives way to a nightmarish laboratory.
-
Architecture:
The lab is a fusion of Sith alchemy and Imperial science. Dark stone walls inlaid with glowing red circuitry pulse faintly like veins, as if the entire structure is alive. At the center, a massive suspended holocron fragments reality with its shifting crimson light, casting fractured shadows across durasteel floors. -
Experiments:
Prisoners are not just locked away—they are Sadic’s subjects. Some cells are fitted with containment tubes filled with green ichor, where broken bodies float between life and death. Others contain grotesque hybrids—half cybernetic, half alchemically mutated—bred to test the limits of loyalty, endurance, and pain. -
Instruments:
Sith alchemy tables made of black obsidian are etched with binding circles, where Sadic channels the Dark Side into subjects. Mechanical arms dangle from above, grafting cybernetics with surgical precision while Sith runes flare to life, fusing metal and flesh in ways the Hutts dare not look upon. -
Atmosphere:
The air is thick with incense masking the smell of blood and ozone. A low hum of machinery mixes with faint whispers—the echo of tortured minds broken by the Dark Side. Every prisoner hears it differently: some claim the walls themselves scream. -
Sadic’s Presence:
From a raised obsidian dais, Sadic oversees his work. Cloaked in shadow, he wields both scalpel and lightsaber, shaping not only flesh but the very essence of the Force. His philosophy: “Suffering is the crucible of truth. In agony, all illusions fall away.”

Recorded by Keeper Arannis Tey, Jedi Archives
"In the underbelly of Nar Shaddaa lies a place the galaxy would be better served to forget, though forgetfulness is a luxury the Jedi cannot afford. This is the lair of Lord Sadic, a Sith who twists the Dark Side not only into the living, but into the very matter of stone and steel."
I have seen laboratories of Sith alchemists before, where flesh was remade in cruelty. Yet Sadic’s work is different—less ritual, more… systemic. Imagine the cold efficiency of Imperial science welded to the ancient depravity of Sith sorcery. His chamber walls breathe with red light, as though veins of malice pulse through them.
Prisoners become neither dead nor alive, but vessels—some floating in ichor-filled tanks, others screaming in the grip of cybernetic claws that pierce their essence as much as their flesh. To stand within is to feel the Force itself recoil. Every whisper of agony feeds the shadows that cling to Sadic’s presence.
It is said he believes suffering strips away illusion, revealing what beings truly are. A dangerous philosophy, for he does not seek power for power’s sake, but to reshape life itself in the crucible of torment.
"The Jedi must know of this place, not to destroy it in haste, but to remember it always. For if the Sith can bind science and sorcery so seamlessly, then their shadow may reach further than we dare imagine. The Black Cells are not merely a prison of flesh. They are a prison of hope."
