The ONLY Rakata to Keep THE FORCE and Why

19th January 2026

The Rakata were a species so cruel that the Force itself seemed to abandon them, treating the dark side not as something to understand but as fuel to burn the galaxy in conquest and slavery. Yet even among them there was an outlier. Soa, the Infernal One, was the most powerful Rakata predator to ever live, a conqueror of a thousand worlds and a ruler of Korriban who viewed the Force as something greater than mere power. In this video, we explore Soa’s rise within the Infinite Empire, his control of Korriban and interactions with the Sith species, the formation of his Infernal Council, and why the Rakata themselves ultimately turned against him. We break down how he was sealed within the Eternity Vault on Belsavis, why he retained his connection to the Force when his species lost theirs, and how his awakening during the Galactic War forced both Jedi and Sith to confront an ancient dark side threat neither could ignore. This is the story of the Rakata’s greatest monster, the limits of raw power, and why the Sith ultimately surpassed the Infinite Empire.
