Sith and Massassi

[Darth_Gandalf]

Just how are the Massassi different from the original red-skinned Sith species?

[tripleRRR]

The Massassi were native to Yavin four, they were enslaved by Exar Kun who fled there from republic fleets. Like the old sith they came to worship the dark jedi who came to their planet.

Masassi were the warrior caste of the ancient Sith Race. They aligned themselves with Naga Sadow who won their loyalty. Later on Yavin IV they mutated into primal beasts becouse of Sadow's experiments. From entire Sith race only Masassi survived Great Hyperspace War and later extermination campaign led by the Jedi.

So thereare no differences between Masassi and Sith.

Man better educate yourself before posting such bullsh..t. Exar never fled Republic, he came freely to Yavin. Naga Sadow was pursued by Republic and fled

to Yavin. And Masassi never were Yavin natives. They originated from Sith Empire

and came to Yavin as refugees.

Here's what the handy dandy Unofficial Star Wars encyclopedia has to say on the matter:

 

Massassi

An alien race brough to Yavin 4 from a planet in the ancient Sith Empire, the Massassi were red-skinned, yellow-eyed humanoids with a primitive culture. The Massassi were later enslaved by Naga Sadow and transported to Yavin 4, where they were transformed by the Sith Lord's dark powers. They became a race of warriors, with grayish-green skin and large, lantern-like eyes.

 

Over the centuries, in the wake of Naga Sadow's death, the altered Massassi became even more primitive in nature, and were comparatively timid and weak when Exar Kun came to Yavin 4 to seek out a Sith power object. Note that Dark Lords of the Sith portrays the Massassi as savage, Dark Side creatures descended from the Sith themseles. They were the offspring of Naga Sadow's alchemical magic. They were also red-skinned humanoids. This seems to have been a change of heart for Kevin Anderson, who worked on both sources. Kun later enslaved them, and made them build the temples that dotted the forest, as focusers of the power of The Force.

 

They were exterminated when Kun, in an effort to defeat the Jedi Knights, consumed their spirits in order to trap his own spirit in the Obsidian Temple during the Great Sith War. Their bodies were destroyed by the Jedi Knights who tried to defeat Kun. Over the intervening millennia, the spirits of the Massassi remained trapped on Yavin 4, until they were released by Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila, with the help of the Golden Globe. They are termed "Massasi" in Lost City of the Jedi.

So how and into what did they mutate. How was this mutation an "advantage" for Naga Sadow?
