In 4180 BBY, Daeman Kine was the younger brother of the head of the Kine family. It was during that year that representatives of the reconstituted Sith Empire made contact with the Kines and other Sith refugees that had settled on Vjun after the Great Hyperspace War.
Initially, Daeman and the rest of the Kines did not believe the representatives were truly Sith. They feared that it was a Republic trick to try and eliminate their surviving pocket of Sith culture. So, to try and protect themselves, the Kines killed the messengers.
Despite this, the Empire still sent out additional messengers and somehow convinced Daeman’s brother to send a diplomatic mission of their own. Daeman was selected to lead the mission to confirm the existence of a surviving Empire. After being brought to Dromund Kaas and talking with the Heads of both the Sphere of Imperial Intelligence and Expansion and Diplomacy, Daeman informed his brother of the Empire’s survival.
However, after witnessing the militarized nature of the Empire, Daeman did not want the Kines to rejoin them. He feared that they would lose their own culture and diversity to the machine of war that the Empire had become. He argued that they and the other Sith refugees that had settled on Vjun were doing just fine without Vitiate’s Empire.
But Daeman’s warnings were not heeded and the majority of the Kine family chose to rejoin the Empire. Daeman led a small yet sizable opposition to the decision and chose to remain on Vjun.
