Legend

this was the name of a secretly-operating group of Imperial Intelligence agents who are continually spying on the galaxy's activities. The Prophets were all trained in the use of the Dark Side of the Force, and used their power to delve into the possible future outcomes of any event. During the height of the New Order, the Prophets were led by Kadann, the Supreme Prophet. The prophets appeared to be black-bearded individuals who wore gleaming black robes. After the Battle of Endor, each of the Prophets obtained a great deal of power within the remnants of the Empire, and many of them made some bold revelations and predictions. Among them, the Prophets supposedly had predicted the exact time and place for the destruction of both Death Stars by the Alliance. They continually worked to make sure their prophecies come true, at any cost, in order to retain their power. It was later discovered by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker that there were actually two groups of Dark Side adherents known as the Prophets of the Dark Side. The group led by Kadann was actually an offshoot of the true Prophets of the Dark Side, which evolved on the planet Dromund Kaas after Darth Millennial broke from the Rule of Two in the wake of the Battle of Ruusan, and established his own training center on the planet. These Prophets were eventually taken over by Emperor Palpatine, who used them to train his own group of hand-picked Dark Jedi. The Prophets eventually fled Dromund Kaas for Bosthirda, after they angered the Emperor.
