           Yuuzhan Vong Growths: Krayt spent much of his reign infested with Yuuzhan Vong Growths, these endangered his life, threatening to reduce him to a mindless beast. This meant he constantly had to fight off their growth, giving him a -1D to all skill rolls due to the distraction of fighting them off, when he was wounded and unable to keep up this effort the Growths would rapidly expand and threaten his life, requiring him to go into a healing trance. It was the removal of these growths that provided his drive to capture and use Cade Skywalkers Dark Transfer ability to remove them completely, and later led to the revelation which allowed him to learn and use the ability himself.

Description: Darth Krayt, born A'Sharad Hett, revered as the Dragon of the Sith, and known to some members of the Skywalker family as the Dark Man, was a long-lived Force-sensitive Human male who served as both a Jedi Master and general in the waning days of the Galactic Republic and as Dark Lord of the Sith following the fall of Darth Sidious. In between these roles, he also served as the commander of his father's tribe of Tusken Raiders as well as a bounty hunter. The son of legendary Jedi Knight Sharad Hett and his wife K'Sheek, both of whom lived among the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine, he eventually became the Padawan of Jedi Masters Ki-Adi-Mundi, and later, An'ya Kuro. When he was only a teen, Hett's father was murdered by the Ex-Jedi turned assassin Aurra Sing, who was later defeated in a duel by a young A'Sharad Hett. During the Clone Wars, he served the Republic as a General and established himself as a charismatic leader who often led his troops from the front. He eventually became friends with the young Anakin Skywalker and helped Anakin come to terms with the destruction which had been brought by the galaxy-wide war. A'Sharad took part in key conflicts during the war such as the Battle of Boz Pity and the Siege of Saleucami. He managed to survive the Clone Wars, and was one of the few Jedi known to have escaped the Great Jedi Purge in 19 BBY.

A'Sharad Hett eventually made his way back to his homeworld of Tatooine where he vowed to wage a private war against the new Galactic Empire. However, after a confrontation with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was exiled from Tatooine and later discovered that it was Anakin Skywalker who became the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who had aided Sidious in the annihilation of the Jedi Order. A'Sharad blamed himself for the destruction of the Jedi Order (as he had known about Anakin killing of a village of Sand People, and could have reported the young Jedi, thus getting him expelled, but did not—considering it Anakin's personal responsibility to deal with his own dark deeds) and became a bounty hunter. During one of his missions, he found himself on Korriban, where he trained as a Sith under the tutelage of the Dark Lord XoXaan. Hett eventually fell to the dark side after capture and torture by the Yuuzhan Vong and soon proclaimed himself Dread Lord and Dark Lord of the Sith, taking the name "Darth Krayt".

As Krayt, he became the founder and leader of the One Sith during the period of the Vong invasion. He kept the existence of his rebuilt Sith Order hidden from the Jedi for a century by cloaking their presence on Korriban. At one point in 44 ABY, he emerged to fight alongside Luke Skywalker against Abeloth. To survive, the Dark Lord spent many years in stasis before reemerging to form an alliance with Moff Nyna Calixte and to spark the Sith–Imperial War that led to the destruction of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. At the climax of the war, he deposed Emperor Roan Fel and attempted to destroy the New Jedi Order.

Darth Krayt ruled the galaxy with an iron fist for seven years before the alliance between rightful Emperor Roan Fel and Galactic Alliance admiral Gar Stazi threatened his usurped rule. Furthermore, Krayt discovered the existence and survival of a Skywalker: Cade. Krayt feared that with these deteriorating conditions and his bad health would lead to his demise before his dream was finished, and sent about the hunt for Cade Skywalker. However, during a skirmish on Had Abbadon, Krayt was stabbed, electrocuted, and sent hurtling off a cliff. The Sith Lord's powers proved strong, however, when they saved his life. Darth Krayt was then approached by Darth Wyyrlok, his most trusted advisor, who murdered Krayt, believing the Dread Lord would lead to the Sith Order's destruction.

But, even as he was inactive, Krayt's ideals were being carried out by Wyyrlok in his place. Krayt later healed his body from his death experience. Overcoming the taint of his armor, he called out to all those across the galaxy who had touched the dark side, signaling his return. With the aid of loyal Sith and a new breed of Sith troopers, Krayt retook Coruscant, slaying Darth Wyyrlok in the process, and began making preparations to rebirth the galaxy through war. However, in the final battle, he once again attempted to turn Cade Skywalker. He failed to do so, and while distracted in the attempt was slain by Cade, who incinerated his corpse to prevent the ghost of Krayt from simply resurrecting his dead body. Even after his physical death, Krayt's ideals were carried on by his loyal followers.

"Yes, Maladi. Always as I will."

Heart Massage Failure
As a Jedi, A'Sharad Hett trusted the will of the Force and didn't approve of using it to alter life and death.

Despite his largely informal training, A'Sharad Hett was highly devoted to Jedi philosophies and values. Ki-Adi-Mundi felt he might be too quick to use the Force to throw around those who might be a threat, yet could find no evil in his heart soon after they met. However, he remained silently vengeful towards Aurra Sing, his father's murderer, though he for a time thought he had conquered those feelings in honor of his father, a claim Yoda accepted. During their confrontation, he drew on the dark side of the Force, and while he was successful at subduing her, his guilt left him wishing to go into self-imposed exile. However, the Dark Woman saw the future which was laid out before A'Sharad and convinced him that going into exile would not cure his troubles. The Dark Woman took the young Jedi as her Padawan and finished his training to become a Jedi Knight, teaching him to accept death without anger. However, some of his fellow Jedi even back then sensed a darkness within him.

Hett was also a firm believer in personal accountability, believing that individuals should own up to their actions. It was his belief in this that caused him to keep Anakin Skywalker's secret when he learned about Skywalker's mass murder of a Tusken Raider tribe on Tatooine, believing that it was Skywalker's responsibility to do so for himself. Despite his valiant attempt, Hett was unable to instill these beliefs into Skywalker. Had he been able to, it is possible he could have stopped Skywalker's fall to the dark side. Hett firmly believed all Jedi deserved a proper funeral, even one who fought against him. Even as Krayt he honored those who died as heroic Jedi, such as Kol Skywalker.

However, with the advent of the Great Jedi Purge, Hett's beliefs fell apart, and he turned to the dark side. Seeking revenge against the Empire for the Jedi Purge, Hett returned to Tatooine and reemerged as a Tusken warlord. However, in his rage-blinded state of mind, he never actually took the fight to the Empire, instead ravaging the moisture farmers of Tatooine. His actions ultimately forced Obi-Wan Kenobi into action. Unable to understand why Kenobi didn't simply join his crusade, Hett and Kenobi clashed when the master of Skywalker refused to allow any more raids.

Defeated by Kenobi and exiled from the Tusken culture, Hett began wandering the galaxy, bereft of purpose or goal. Eventually, he was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and came into contact with Vergere. Heavily influenced by both the brutal Yuuzhan Vong culture and Vergere's teachings, Hett developed a predatory worldview, believing that the only way to establish lasting peace and order was to shatter the galaxy's current status quo. However, despite being influenced by Vergere, their separate belief systems simply didn't mesh, and according to his testimony she abandoned him to focus on the eventual Darth Caedus. Hett escaped from the Yuuzhan Vong soon after and destroyed their ship to ensure no word of his survival would come to anyone. Luke Skywalker considered his physical appearance to be somewhat comparable to that of Anakin Skywalker, before the Chosen One was bound into his armor.

Krayt briefly joined forces with Luke Skywalker against Abeloth, setting aside the enmity between Jedi and Sith, and refraining from slaying Jedi who accosted him, for long enough to face down this threat to his plans and the galaxy at large. By the time of his ascendency, he was known as the Dragon of the Sith. Darth Krayt believed that what the galaxy most needed was strong order. As such, in his philosophy he felt that a man of vision must be the sole leader. Upon taking the golden throne of the Empire, Darth Krayt proclaimed himself to be that man of vision. In Krayt's time as emperor, the formal polices of dissemination against non-humans were since gone, though by sheer numbers humans were the most common species in his Empire's workings. Krayt made sure to try to recruit non-Jedi Force users, though those who refused would be destroyed, offering traditions such as the Nightsisters and Jensaarai the choice to join his Sith rather than be purged, and so acquired many new servants from these orders and other Force Adepts who joined the Sith. It was rare for Jedi to be given this choice, however--usually they and those who harbored them were killed or imprisoned. He also tolerated the Ember of Vahl tradition, as they hunted Jedi for his Empire. Despite his war with the Jedi, Krayt viewed their code as honorable. He respected Kol Skywalker such that he had the Jedi's blade housed in a transparent shell in a place of respect in his citadel. He was very resistant to fear.

Unlike the majority of Sith Lords, Darth Krayt was not a power-mad schemer, but rather a man devoted to establishing lasting order and peace, at all costs. His beliefs heavily influenced how he crafted his new Sith Order, for he felt that the Sith should devote themselves towards a common goal rather than personal advancement and he gave their search for power purpose. This earned him the ire of the ancient Sith Lords who believed in the Sith belief that power was an end in itself and needed no other purpose. However, in keeping with traditional Sith philosophy, and his own predatory worldview, he determined that only the strongest were able to carry out this goal.

The regenerated Krayt.

However, Krayt's beliefs were ultimately twisted by his own fear. Increasingly aware of his own impending death, Krayt devoted himself to finding a way to cheat it, too wrapped up in his own scheming to realize that his Sith Order could survive his death and his vision could continue. Ultimately, the tactical mistakes that he made in his efforts to stave off death spurred Darth Wyyrlok into action. Wyyrlok was effectively a product of Krayt's beliefs, and was loyal to the central goal of the Order rather than himself, or Krayt.

As pointed out by Darth Wyyrlok, Darth Krayt had a tendency of clinging to the painful memories of his past, becoming defined by his obsessions. Wyyrlok also came to the conclusion that Krayt used his bloodline to hide his physical weakness from the rest of the Sith, ensuring Krayt's undisputed rule as Dark Lord of the Sith. In their fateful duel, Darth Wyyrlok attempted to use these memories against his former master. However, after his rebirth, Darth Krayt appeared to have overcome his past to a certain degree, which was evidenced when Krayt tricked Wyyrlok into believing he was affected by Wyyrlok's mental powers. Darth Krayt was capable of feeling love, being one of the very few Siths capable of so.

After his resurrection, Darth Krayt no longer feared death, but viewed it as a passageway to something far greater. This gave him the view that the galaxy should experience the pain of death and the rapture of rebirth as he had. He also believed that Cade Skywalker had to die and be reborn in order to serve him.

Powers and abilities
Lightsaber and Martial Arts Skills
A'Sharad Hett was exceptionally skilled in the NIman Jar'Kai style of lightsaber combat. This talent was evident throughout the Clone Wars, in which A'Sharad served as a General, often leading his soldiers from the front through the thickest of the fighting. A'Sharad often wielded two green lightsabers in battle, his own weapon, and that of his father. He was able to defeat Aurra Sing in a lightsaber duel while he was still a Padawan; an impressive feat, considering his own father, a fully trained Jedi Knight, had been unable to defeat Sing. It should be noted, however, that his power was augmented by the hatred he felt towards Sing for murdering his father. This indicates that Hett had discovered a basic understanding of Force rage, allowing him to boost his ferocity and best Sing, getting a hand on her neck and knocking her saber away from her hand. He, while holding back, defeated the Dark Woman in a duel. However, she then subdued him with a sneak attack after the duel was formally over, her intent to make a point about the risks of lowering one's guard. In 30 BBY, Hett was able to barely defeat Sing in a furious duel, though gave into his hate during the battle, a lapse that disgusted him. Decades later, as Darth Krayt, he was able to fully master and focus his usage of Force rage, such as when he dueled Cade Skywalker and Darth Wyyrlok. Hett killed a Krayt dragon with a Gaderffii and a torch before he was officially made a Jedi. After jumping from a speeder that crashed though a window, Hett non-lethally defeated a terrorist. During the Clone Wars, he defeated an enraged (and armed with a lightsaber) Anakin Skywalker while armed with only a gaderffii. Then he made peace with the Chosen One. Later, while part of a Jedi and Clone force, he and his friends were able to drive off the ambush of Separatist forces that were led by the Sith Lord Count Dooku and General Grievous.

It was his mastery of Jar'Kai that saved Hett from being killed during Order 66, allowing him to kill the clone troopers who were sent to execute him. After turning to the dark side, but before becoming a Sith Lord, Hett engaged the extremely powerful Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (who had a few years before defeated Darth Vader) in a lightsaber duel and proved capable of holding his own against Kenobi even to the point of striking him with the hilt of his blade and kicking him, but was eventually defeated and maimed.

When he came out of hiding to fight Abeloth, the Dark Man engaged in intense combat with the dark side being, aided by Luke Skywalker. Krayt was able to survive the battle and beat, rend, bash, and grapple her, causing massive damage to Abeloth, and alongside his draining of her power, caused her to be unable to keep her other avatars functioning elsewhere. Ultimately, Krayt was able to "kill" her along with Luke.

As Darth Krayt, he retained his mastery of fighting with two blades. A master practitioner of Niman, his skill with his blades was great enough for him to quickly defeat four Imperial Knights with little difficulty even despite the Vong parasites and being well over 170 years old. The Dark Lord could use the Force to help himself make deadly sweeping attacks. The Sith Lord was able to swiftly cut his way through a squad of Imperial Knights, including a member of the Fel family, disarming, mutilating, and killing them quickly, before cleaving the head off the body double of Roan Fel. He was also able to fight the much younger and fitter Cade Skywalker as a superior, and almost defeated him before being shot in the back by Cade's mother. Darth Krayt claimed that his skills with his blades were such that he killed thousands of opponents since the Clone Wars. It should be noted that after his duel with Skywalker, Krayt was critically weakened by his Vong growths and was forced to spend time in stasis to heal. The Dark Lord was able to hold his own against Karness Muur, who was one of the founding members of the Sith Order, supposedly comperable to Darth Sidious, and who claimed to have easily killed other Sith Lords who were stronger than Krayt. Krayt was also able to slay his former right hand, Darth Wyyrlok, in a lightsaber duel, running him through after hacking apart his horns. In his final duel with Cade Skywalker, he proved to be equally proficient with a single lightsaber as he was with two. During this rematch, Krayt proved to be capable of combining his prowess with his lightsaber with his skill with the Force, making him even more formidable in combat. Such was his skill with the blade that Skywalker could only kill him by attacking the Dread Lord when he was not prepared to defend himself.

As Hett, he was able to teach the fighting style of Taras Kasi.

Force Powers
As the Dark Lord of the One Sith, Darth Krayt was the strongest Sith Lord of his time. and one of the most capable that ever lived. In 40 ABY, the Jedi Grandmaster Luke was troubled with visions of Krayt as a shadowy figure who seemed at least as ruthless and strong in the Force as the Chosen One, seeming like a dark spirit on a mission of doom. The Dark Lord was powerful enough in the Force to battle a being as powerful as Abeloth, though he was assisted by Grand Master Luke Skywalker, who himself was wary of dueling Krayt in beyond shadows, even to the point of almost backstabbing the Sith preemptively. Jacen Solo believed that if Krayt acquired Allana Solo as an apprentice that Krayt would become unstoppable and usher in an appalling new future, this is greatly what inspired him to try to conquer the galaxy as Darth Caedus. Put another way, Krayt was Luke Skywalker's dark counterpart in the contest for the Throne of Balance. The Force itself was bent to Krayt's will. The darkness brought on by Darth Krayt's rise made it harder than ever for Jedi masters to use the Force to sense the future. Krayt stated that he had fully mastered the Jedi and Sith arts. Merely being in the same room as Darth Krayt was mentally painful for Cade Skywalker. All of this power was at Darth Krayt's command even while he was held back by the infestation of the Vong parasites and the wounds Kenobi dealt him.

Krayt's strength in the dark side was great enough to be felt by every Sith in the galaxy. He claimed that after his resurrection, his power in the Force multiplied, indicating that since his defeat on Had Abbadon, he had grown considerably stronger than before. The dark side of the Force was said to be as though it lived through him, claims similar to those the Son on Mortis had made almost 200 years ago. To live on Krayt's throneworld was to forfeit one's soul and his power was great indeed to those who sensed it. His strength in the dark side was such that he could fight and overpower Cade Skywalker, who was armed with a lightsaber, with mostly his usage of the Force alone. Even before turning to the dark side, this man was noted as a powerful Jedi with great potential, such as by his father. As a Jedi Master, he was considered a worthy and powerful Jedi, such that he was one of the generals sent to seek to end the uprising of the CIS by aiding in the Outer Rim Sieges. Obi-Wan Kenobi at first assumed that Hett (not yet a Sith) must be one of that dark order due to his sheer power when the protector of Luke sensed the rampage of Hett across Tatooine in 17 BBY. Krayt had also mastered the knowledge of Xoxaan.

In addition to being a formidable, sometimes enraged lightsaber duelist, as both as Hett and as Darth Krayt, he was also talented in the other applications of the Force, notably moving things with his will, Force lightning, communication, and healing.

A'Sharad Hett possessed incredible skill in telekinesis, as shown when able to non-lethally repulse a mob of his fellow Tuskans who were harassing Mundi, a feat that impressed the Jedi Master, though was seen as possibly too violent for the situation. When his company was attacked by Laninks, Hett threw two of them out of a speeder. During their duel, Hett and Sing exchanged Force strikes, slamming each other into walls as they dueled on a jungle planet in 30 BBY. He was able to nearly kill Obi-Wan with a saber throw. Moreover, Kenobi did not breach his defenses with the Force until Hett had had his hand severed by Kenobi. During his time as a bounty hunter, Hett destroyed a sealed wall in order to heed the call of Xoxaan's holocron. As a Dark Lord in 44 ABY he showed continued mastery of this skill, such as when he disarmed a Jedi, then later yanked Abeloth back to himself and Luke via recalling his embedded severed hand and thus effectively countering her teleportation, even as the attack caused her very essence to leak from her wounds. Late in the battle, after being severely wounded and mutilated, Krayt floated in the air above Luke. According to Darth Plagueis, the power of self-levitation was impressive, and Luke Skywalker previously believed such was impossible for a Jedi outside of low-gravity. Nearly a century later, Krayt threw Maladi to the ground without expressing significant effort, made officials kneel before him, disciplined Darth Nihl in the Valley of the Dark Lords by briefly Force choking him, and he redirected multiple stones thrown at him by Darth Wyyrlok after holding the barrage in stasis. Once Krayt released his hold on the rocks as he flung them back, the traitor was forced to throw up a bubble of Force to avoid death. Krayt could slam his foes with the Force, both in bursts to strike many foes and as Force Pushes to throw Jedi around. Krayt subjected Cade Skywalker to a Force Strike to the head, chaining in Force attacks with saber blows with ease, befitting the mastery of Niman.

While more renowned for the grandeur and force of his telekinetic might, Krayt was also capable of incredible precision and delicacy with the Force, such as when burdened by the Yuuzhan Vong armor he crafted his own Holocron (which held may secrets and plans only Krayt was privy to), a process that required a Sith to make many microscopic tweaks with the Force while being in tune with the will or currents of the Force. Krayt was able to employ his powers for more mundane utility, such as moving machines or unlocking locks. During his duel with Cade Skywalker in 138 ABY, his strength in telekinesis was such that he could practically vaporize some of the stone pillars of the Sith Temple during his final duel with Cade Skywalker. Krayt flung the Jedi around in this fight without showing much exertion, slamming Skywalker into things and dragging him across and through a wall. It was believed that there would be no limit to what could be done with these telekinetic techniques, given enough power and wisdom.

The raw power of his Force lightning was enough to crumble stone columns in the Sith Temple and kill multiple rakghouls with a single burst. During an assassination attempt against him, he demonstrated the power to surround his hand with lightning while fighting in melee. When faced with Celeste Morne's lightning, he was able to counter with his own, then began to overwhelm her. Indeed, even when she joined with Karness Muur's spirit, (Muur being such a master of the dark that Vader considered to be about as strong as Darth Sidious was in 19 BBY) she was unable to harm Krayt until he was backstabbed by Azlyn Rae, breaking his focus and leaving him with a hole in his body from her saber. Krayt could use his powers to create a shield/barrier with Force lightning to defend himself from those who threatened him. While burdened by his Vong armor, Darth Krayt used Sith Lightning to unlock the holocrons of Darth Bane, Darth Andeddu, and Darth Nihilus at once. When they refused to give any sort of useful advice and then attacked him, he closed them down with more lightning. Krayt was capable of great precision and control with his lightning, as shown when he traced Darth Talon's body with dark side electricity without hurting or striking her. Given the difficulity to control lighting save for their intensity its testament of his skills . His prowess with Force lightning exceeded that of Darth Wyyrlok, evidenced when Krayt blocked the barrage with his bare hands, before Krayt chose to take control of the situation and throw aside the traitor's lightning, destroying the terrain around them. Luke Skywalker was wary of being hit by his lightning. Moreover, before even becoming a Sith, Hett could slaughter squads of armored Yuuzhan Vong soldiers with blasts of lightning, and also may have known how to conjure fire against the Vong, though this may have been merely narrative flair in how he spoke of the battle.

A'Sharad Hett could augment his physical capabilities, such as when he used his Jedi powers to be able to destroy droids with a single punch. Hett could leap from a speeder that crashed through a window, then, unharmed, attack the terrorists around him. Jedi of his time were expected to learn how to absorb energy and as a Sith he demonstrated even better skill in this regard, to the point that, much like Yoda or Revan, he could block Sith lightning with his hands. As a Sith he also used Force speed and could leap great distances with the aid of the energy field that binds the universe together. His attacks sometimes struck more people when boosted with the Force. He knew the technique of Battlestrike. Krayt had a talent for seeing those he knew of or sought after from afar, as well as predicting the future as he was able to foresee that he would be reborn and able to heal himself of his Yuuzhan Vong implants and when he predicted the Galactic Alliance's and Fel Empire's tactics during the Battle of Tavias before they had even come up with the plans themsevles. He seemed to have a "recorder on the eye of fate", according to Darth Wyyrlock. The Force spoke to Darth Krayt, guiding him towards victory such that he knew the war-plans of his enemies before they had even devised them. Additionally, Krayt was able to survive falling off a cliff, despite being roasted with lightning from a nearly Sidious-like opponent working in harmony with his Jedi Master host, and Krayt being impaled with a lightsaber shortly beforehand, by using the Force, to soften his landing. All the more noteworthy, this is, since Grandmaster Yoda strained to achieve similar results when he (tired after nearly defeating the Sith) departed Sidious. Darth Krayt also mastered and even improved ancient Sith techniques that prolong life, allowing him to survive for more than a century despite his failing body when combined with his use of Force Trance, though he was partially sustained through stasis. His knowledge of Sith magic also was enough for him to craft a Holocron, which required a mastery of sorcery and esoteric glyphs. He thought he could form bonds with others given time and moral agreement. Krayt resisted the tricks of Andeddu. He may have slowed down the flow of time for himself. He also demonstrated a certain degree of resistance towards Mind Tricks, such as when he tricked Darth Wyyrlok into believing he was being affected by his mental powers. Wyyrlock III, it should be noted, had previously demonstrated his mental prowess when he destroyed ancient the Sith Lord Darth Andeddu in a battle of wills and illusions and used his powers to make the members of the Malevolence cult slay each other. Krayt also had a very acute Force sense, demonstrated when he sensed Cade Skywalker healing his Master during the Massacre of Ossus half-way across the galaxy, sensed Cade on the same planet (where millions lived) detected the emotional state of Cade Skywalker, and when he sensed the presence of a spy within the Imperial ranks. As a Padawan, however, he had not yet developed such skill and Masters Mundi and Gallia able to sense the future and the guidance of the Force better than he could, however he was able to sense impending danger and darkness as well as the Masters. He also, from across the galaxy, sensed the intent of Vader and the 501 coming to purge the Jedi Temple and the death-pains of the younglings as though he had been there. The Emperor also had developed the rare ability to detect the Yuzzhan Vong with the Force, much like Jacen Solo or Luke Skywalker could. As Hett, he was able to detect Force sensitivity in others. Darth Krayt was noted to master of the Alter Environment skill and able to control the weather of Korriban, such as by causing massive storms and flashes of lightning in the sky, allegedly this was done while he was in stasis. Unlike other Sith Lords such as Tenebrae, Krayt did not require the use of rituals to bend the weather. The leader of the Sith could hide his presence in the Force, even from other Sith and the Jedi Grandmaster, though when in the same room Luke Skywalker could sense his dark side affiliations, to the concern of the Jedi. Ben Skywalker and Vestara Khai, even with the help of her hounds, could not find Krayt when they were on Korriban. Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker were unable to use the Force to learn anything about him, other than his species and hints of his appearance, with the Grandmaster of the Jedi being baffled as to how "the Dark Man" seemed to not exist in the future, yet also loom as a threat. After he returned from death, the Dreadlord was able to also conceal his allies from the Force sense of others, and his return and signal to his followers went unnoticed by the Jedi, save for Cade Skywalker, who had been among those contacted. Despite the titanic exertion of dark side power, the New Jedi Order’s Jedi Council was completely unable to sense his use of the Force across the galaxy or even his resurrection. Darth Krayt was also adept in the use of Mind Walking, allowing him to travel beyond shadows, such as when he helped Luke Skywalker defeat Abeloth. He was also proficient in the use of Force drain, which he used in his battle against Abeloth--plundering the entity's Force energy while harming her and Luke Skywalker, though at great cost to himself. The damage done to her reserves of power was such that formerly mighty Sith shadow-ghouls Abeloth maintained on Coruscant were left almost impotent. Krayt's drain was also able to pull away Luke Skywalker's health and might since he was too close to Abeloth, prompting the Grandmaster to threaten to free the Bringer of Chaos if the Dark Lord did not relent his attack on all three of them. Krayt could employ Force Deflection, at least against Force Powers, The Sith Lord could feed on the suffering of others, even to the point of briefly counteracting most of the physical detriments he suffered when his ordered massacres on the homeworld of the Mon Cala. Similarly, he could use his own anger for greater power. He was completely unaffected by Cade Skywalker's Force Scream, without needing to offer any overt defense. This showing that he have resistence toward fear-based force techniques. Krayt would use the Force to improve his skills of deceiving and noticing things, and, with great effort, he could use the Force against anything he saw within the same solar system. He was also able to swiftly replenish his personal Force reservoir.

Hett also had an affinity with the use of telepathy, such that hold verbal telepathic conversations with those nearby, such as when he communed with the Jedi Xiaan and encouraged her to try to survive, though ultimately she chose to give her life to bring the mission success, and Hett held such a conversation when both of them were dogfighting in their starships. Per to the standards of Master Fisto, a Jedi being able to do things like this was a mark of great power in the Force. When Order 66 was carried out, he, like Grandmaster Yoda, sensed the echoes of so many Jedi dying, even feeling the echoes of the younglings that Vader slew. As the Dark Lord, he made the use of telepathy even more often and dramatically, such that he would keep in mental contact with his most trusted servants at all times, regardless of which planet they were on, and his skill was shown again when, shortly after returning himself from beyond death, he communicated with Darth Talon to release him from stasis on Korriban just after he resurrected himself. Almost a century before, much like his deeds in the Clone Wars, Krayt was able to mentally send whole sentences to Luke Skywalker, regardless of if the Grandmaster wished this contact. Likewise, he forced Wryyylok III to listen to a mental description of his life's story and philosophy just before killing the rebel. He could tempt others with the dark side. He also could read the minds of his followers while his body was in stasis. Darth Talon credited Krayt with being able to tear knowledge out of the mind of Marasiah Fel. Krayt could detect lies. Krayt could trick and confuse others with the Force and as such could cause mental strain to opponents so that they would pass out. After he resurrected himself, he sent out a signal to all Sith in the entire galaxy (as well as two non-Sith who were tempted by the Dark Side), alerting them to his return from death and putting them on notice for his imminent reclaiming of authority. As part of this surge through the Force, he empowered all of the Sith in the galaxy, save for the traitorous Wryyylok. Krayt was stated to have the power to command millions of soldiers with his will, mind-controlling armies of Sith Troopers. He could invade the minds of others, making it hard for them to use the Force at their full capabilities without being tainted by the dark side of the Force. Darth Krayt was so skilled that he projected an illusion of Cade's possible future into the young Skywalker's mind, which shook Cade a great deal. Later after subduing, killing, and resurrecting him, Krayt forced Cade to view a future of his own design--a realm of fire, death, rebirth, and the ascendency of the dark side of the Force.

Before turning to the dark side, A'Sharad Hett was trained to use Force healing, though the extent of his healing abilities is unknown. As a Jedi Knight, he would have been expected to be capable of using Curato salva. When Abeloth cut off his hand beyond shadows, a wound that would have normally transferred over to his physical form, he reclaimed and restored the hand. As a point of comparison, Luke Skywalker was left with lasting wounds from smilar blows. For a long time, the Dragon of the Sith was unable to overcome the burdens of his armor and age, try as he might to use the dark to endure. However, after the Battle of Had Abbadon, Darth Krayt was finally able to completely heal himself of his Yuuzhan Vong growths as well as what would normally be severe mortal wounds, demonstrating that his skill in Force Healing had greatly increased, and also worthy of note due to the fact that the Yuuzhan Vong were almost impossible to touch with the Force, save with lightning. While before the battle his power over death had been limited to resisting aging, now he was able to wield the Force to resurrect his own corpse post-mortem. During his final duel with Cade Skywalker, Krayt revealed that when he experienced death on Had Abbadon, he discovered the rare dark side power of dark transfer, allowing him to return from death itself and explosively augment his already considerable healing powers--even to the point of restoring his withered flesh to a fit and strong state. Darth Krayt could also use Dark Transfer in tandem with Force Lightning to injure or kill such as when he killed and resurrected Cade Skywalker during their final duel, much like how Cade himself used his Dark Transfer. From beyond the grave, the Sith Lord taunted Cade Skywalker that his proficiency with Dark Transfer advanced to the degree in which he would heal himself even from death itself, according to the testimony of Cade Skywalker. In addition to learning Dark Transfer from his death experience, Krayt revealed that he could see shatterpoints in the world around him and chain the use of that power to augment his Dark Side healing or damaging powers. After his final death, Krayt's spirit claimed that he learned the dangerous art of essence transfer and threatened to return to life within Cade Skywalker if his body was destroyed. Despite this boasts, Krayt's spirit ceased to trouble Skywalker's mind after his body was burned.

Other skills
A'Sharad Hett was a diplomat and peacemaker of some skill, as shown when he was able to calm Anakin Skywalker and convince him to admit his killing of a Tuskan tribe. He became a skilled leader to the point he was made a Jedi Master who was entrusted with the training of a Padawan and also general during the Clone Wars and then commanded Tuskan Raider tribes until his defeat and mutilation at the hand of Kenobi. He was skilled at the leadership of Tuskans and Sith and could inspire them to fight harder. Some Tuskans were so inspired by him that they went off-world to try to find and serve him. Later, he founded an entire Sith order. It was Krayt, not Caedus or the Lost Tribe, that truly restored the Sith tradition and legacy to the galaxy after the defeat of Darth Sidious, even to the point of making things the most grim and dark they had ever been in the galaxy, with the possible exception of Sidious's reign as Emperor. Krayt also was able to focus the rage of his Sith, nearly negating their perpensity for infighting.

As a Sith he used taunts and insults in battle. He used a historical example to guide him in trying to corrupt Cade Skywalker. A'Sharad Hett was well learned in the study of Mon Calamari and ceremonial starships. Hett was able to become a bounty hunter and avoided detection as a Jedi by the Empire. He knew the Sith Code.

A'Sharad Hett was also a skilled pilot as proven during the battles of Geonosis and Saleucami. His skills as a pilot were such that he could navigate a Yuuzhan Vong coralskipper even though he had no prior knowledge of how to operate it. As Krayt, he also seemed to have a considerable knowledge of engineering and robotics since he was able to start his Sith Trooper Project, in addition to the construction of the Annihilator starfighters, while keeping it hidden for decades from the other Sith. He also could make Lightsabers. Darth Krayt was able to create plans that stretched for hundreds of years, at least according to his servants. Darth Krayt was a great philosopher and thinker, able to understand the flaws of the various Sith and government systems, and created a very loyal Sith Order and by force was able to establish an empire that might well have been the greatest of all Sith achievements. Of course, not all agreed with his ideals, such as the Fels who viewed him as nothing more than a thief. Krayt's war was considered by him to have broken the spine of the galaxy. He could remember well all the events he had lived through. Through unknown means, Krayt was in control of the One Sith in 140 ABY.

Hett was swift enough to block the Jedi Master Mundi from unlawfully helping a man up, when he was only fifteen years old. In a moment he was able to rush and grapple Aura Sing before she could bring a lightsaber down on his father. He was able to survive being hit with a barrage of Thud Bugs and being bitten by an Amphistaff, though he was wearing armor at the time. Darth Krayt came out less hurt than Skywalker after their battle with Abeloth, even after having taken the brunt of a massive bolt of lightning, resisting a Force blast from Abeloth, having to subject himself to his own Force Drain to catch Abeloth, and having his hand cut off in that realm, much like how he was better off when he came to blows with the Grandmaster's father. Moreover, he was by unknown means able to get close enough to her homeworld to use Mind Walking in his hunt for Abeloth. Such was Krayt's power that Luke Skywalker was afraid of him. While beyond shadows Krayt was able to latch on to Abeloth and began to rip her form apart with his hand. Krayt was a cunning master of warfare. Hett could lift a member of Yoda's species. Krayt could lift human males off the ground with one arm. Krayt was able to find many Sith relics.

He was competent in the use of Yuuzhan Vong armor. While in this armor, he survived being shot with heavy weapons, blasted with dark lightning, conjured by a Sith of nearly-Sidious's power working with a Jedi Master, the Force Storm so powerful that it illuminated his skeleton, and impaled with a lightsaber, before being thrown off a cliff. Hett was skilled in a number of languages, such as Galactic Basic Standard, Tusken, and Bocce. While studying the ways of the Sith, he had learned to speak the ancient tongue. He and Darth Wyyrlok III were the only known members of the One Sith to possess the language.

Hett had a keen sense of smell, such that he could detect other biomes while within a city. As a Sith, Krayt was immune to the effects of Omega Red.

Lightsabers
Krayt wielded several lightsabers during his lifetime.

As A'Sharad Hett, his first weapon was constructed during his days as a Tusken Raider, while receiving informal Jedi training from his father. This weapon, like his father's, possessed a red blade, though the source of the focusing crystal used in it remains unknown.

A'Sharad inherited the weapon of his father after Sharad's death. Rather than favoring one weapon or the other, Hett took to wielding both at the same time, becoming an exceptionally talented dual-blade duelist. He later replaced the red crystals in both his and his father's weapon with lime green ones.

When he resurfaced as Darth Krayt, Hett had abandoned the use of his original Jedi sabers, instead he now wielded a pair of Sith lightsabers. While the specifications of the internal mechanism remains unknown, the casings of the twin weapons were composed of a type of coral substance clearly inspired by Yuuzhan Vong biotechnology. The red-bladed weapons were stored in a cross formation on his back when not in use.

After Krayt's rebirth, he continued to use one of his Sith lightsabers, though he again took up his original Jedi lightsaber, and after killing Wyyrlok had taken out the green crystal and replaced it with a synthetic red crystal, giving it the bloodshine blade of a Sith lightsaber.
