; the six powerful Sith Lords who served the Sith Emperor for centuries as prophets, generals and advisors. The Dread Host was deployed in a series of campaigns by the Dread Masters in order to secure locations, artifacts, and other resources necessary for their campaign of terror across the galaxy. Initially deployed to Denova, the Host would be seen subsequently on Asation, Section X on Belsavis
, where it was eventually defeated along with the Dread Masters themselves.The Dread Host answered only to the Dread Masters, opposing both the Republic and Sith Empire. It was composed of individuals recruited or mentally enslaved into service from both groups, but was organized along the lines of the Imperial Military. Many soldiers retained their Imperial gear and uniforms, especially when deployed to Section X. When encountered on Oricon the uniforms had changed, favoring red instead of black. The Dread Host commander Malora Pradon
who an Imperial officer's uniform shaded in red, rather than gray. It was primarily a ground force, with no known space combat encounters.The Dread Host included large numbers of Sith combatants, integrated into the units alongside troopers. On Oricon units also included battle droids. The precise rank structure of the Dread Host is unknown, but soldiers and Sith were both found in command roles. The Dread Masters were the unquestioned high command.The Dread Host was formed during the renewed Galactic War, following the freeing of the Dread Masters from imprisonment. This military unit broke free of the Imperial Military
following the presumed death of the Sith Emperor, which freed the Dread Masters from his control.The precise origins of the Dread Host were not known to the Republic. The unit included Imperial troops and Sith that had served them prior to capture, Imperials defecting to their service, and individuals converted to their forces through their powers of fear and madness. Jedi
research indicated that the later group was the largest, with only a few willingly serving the Dread Masters. Attempts to heal the damage done to captured members of the Host failed entirely as they had suffered immensely under the constant psychological manipulations of their masters. The result of this brainwashing had left the Host members not only completely loyal but also paranoid and incurably insane.Significant portions of the Dread Host were stationed on Oricon, surrounding the Dread Fortress, the apparent base of operations for the Dread Masters. These units defended the fortress against attacks by the Republic's Strike Team Oricon
and Force-sensitives.Initially able to drive back the attackers to their camps and, with the assistance of the Dread Master's fear induction almost overrun them, the Dread Host was turned back after the arrival of enemy reinforcements and the formation of a temporary alliance between Republic and Imperial forces. The Dread Host was subsequently decimated by enemy action. The Bothrium Beast was slain
when he attempted to defend it.The Dread Masters then ordered ships launched to carry a plague of terror to hundreds of worlds across the galaxy, but a strike team
and locating the portal to the Dread Fortress. There the Dread Masters were slain by the strike team. This resulted in the dissolution of the Dread Guard.Known units and variationsOricon
