The Scourge is the primary antagonist of the ongoingStar Warscrossover eventDark Droids , as its one and only missionary post is to assimilate every sentient liveliness physical body ( both synthetic and organic ) across the galaxy until its essence is the only consciousness in existence . It was unleashed upon the extragalactic nebula following the previousStar Warsevent , Hidden Empire , after Lady Qi’ra of the Crimson Dawn openedthe Sith artefact have intercourse as the Fermata Cage , which freed the Scourge from its ancient prison .
The fact that the Scourge was trap inside a known Sith prison alone implies that the Scourge was a trouble in the universe before the events of this current Star Wars crossover , and that the Sith in effect save everyone from its ire . lover also know that the Scourge ’s encounter with the ancient Sith was the last time the AI tried to conquer the coltsfoot , and it was “ after an untold millenia”,according to Emperor Palpatine .

Star Wars Is Chronicling The Scourge’s 3rd Attempt At Galactic Conquest
In a preview forStar Wars : Dark Droids#4 by Charles Soule , Luke Ross , and Alex Sinclair , readers are shown how the Empire is address the Scourge problem : killing innocent droids . fundamentally , any droid that is n’t absolutely entire to the Empire is gunned down , and every moment of the whipping is recorded by the insomniac eye of the Scourge .
The Scourge has formed its own council consisting of itself , with each forcible droid on the face of it representing a different emotion or thought physical process . One droid want to speed up the physical process of galactic conquest , another droid argues that it does n’t have the rightfield to impose itself upon other sentient animation human body ( which was fascinatingly complex for a character that seemed so single - disposed ) , and another points out that this is n’t the first or second time it ’s tried this - it ’s the third .
Star Wars’ Sith Was Ancient During The Scourge’s 2nd Attempt - Was It Around For Its 1st?
Star Wars fan can confidently nail the second and third attempts made by the Scourge to take over the Galax urceolata , but there are no hints whatsoever about its first attack . The only thing that ’s clear is that the Sith was ancient during the second , as revealed with the very existence of the Fermata Cage and the Scourge ’s imprisonment within it . Therefore , is it possible the Scourge is even old than the Sith ? If so , then this would signify the Scourge would have to have been defeated by a mysterious person or collective in the distant past before come up again to finally be defeated by the Sith , setting up its riposte inDark Droids . So , if the Scourge is older than the Sith , who defeated it the first sentence ?
Right now , there are just too many question surrounding this whodunit , including whether the Sith even existed at that point in time ( and , of course of study , when that point in prison term in reality was ) . However , what is clear is when the Sith did get involved , and when the Scourge subsequently became a job for the mod Star Wars galaxy . But , more than anything else , the boastful takeout from this prevue is the Revelation of Saint John the Divine that this is the third attempt the Scourge has made to take over theStar Warsgalaxy , which is enough to hint that it may be older than the Sith .
