Darth Paxis, originally Brant Starkiller, was the son of Empress Saber. Upon his mother's death in 81 ABY, Paxis took command of the Sith Empire, and ruled it until the Sith Schism of 95 ABY, where Paxis and his Loyalist forces left Kroprulu, headed for Kuat. Ambushed by the Jedi and Mandalorians above Wayland, Paxis was killed aboard his flagship, loyally fighting with his men to the death.
