Ludo Kressh was the eleventh Dark Lord of the Sith, and was Naga Sadow's rival for successor of Marka Ragnos as the next Dark Lord. He led the funeral procession, following tradition strictly. Upon Sadow's late arrival and his proclomation as Dark Lord of the Sith, Kressh challenged Sadow to a duel, believing that Sadow's ambitions of expansion would ruin the Sith Empire. Even when Ragnos's spirit came and warned them to strengthen the Empire rather than duel, they continued ignoring his warning. Suddenly, twins Gav and Jori Daragon came from hyperspace(fleeing the Hutts) and interrupted the duel, Kressh's was fearful of the outsiders and he sentenced them to death. Sadow had other plans and wanted to expand the Empire.Sadow created a jail break for the prisoners, making it appear like a Republican attack. The Sith Lords named Sadow Dark Lord of the Sith, causing Kressh and his followers to walk away. They soon discovered Sadow's trick, and planned a rebellion to take over the Empire. But Sadow anticipated this, and he set up an ambush. But Kressh managed to escape. While Sadow plotted to conquer Republic worlds, Kressh proclaimed himself Dark Lord of the Sith. When Sadow's plan failed and he came back to the Sith Empire defeated, he was named an outlaw and was attacked by Kressh's forces. But although depleted from the Hyperspace war, Sadow's fleet was still stronger. They met in a fierce battle and Kressh's ship was rammed and destroyed with him on board.
