Darth Tagus was dead. And good. He should be dead. He was weak—an infection in the Sith. But Darth Maleva was no fool. His weakness would cost her too. Her tactic had worked... somewhat. The blow had hit its mark, but the abomination was so strong in the dark side of the Force that such an...

The Emperor was misjudging the creature. Darth Maleva could sense it. He believed its size and speed were a weakness, but he failed to sense the depths of its power—of the power that would be required to defeat it. Fortunately, the Dark Lord's champion was momentarily focused on Tagus, which...

Darth Maleva, on the other hand, strolled further into the room to get a better look at the awakening champion. His size was daunting, but Maleva knew that size meant nothing when you had the Force. Therefore, it was the creature's presence in the dark side that truly intimidated her. The fear...

Perhaps the Sith do not, thought Darth Maleva as the illusion dissipated. But I do. As the path opened in front of her, Maleva knew what lay beyond: the tomb of the Dark Lord himself. The two Sith were finally entering the last legs of the trials; but Maleva was not so foolish as to feel...

Maleva did not answer. She had already suspected it of being an illusion. After all, who could survive in a tomb without food or water? She simply sought to see if her suspicions about a Code-based test were true, and it seemed that they were not. This immediately eroded her trust in the...

Zannah stood for a moment and basked in the carnage. Four abominations lay dead at her feat. Three of them were her kills. The dark side settled around her like a wreath and she bathed in its approval before turning to observe the Emperor. His left arm was mangled. Left as it was, infection...

Zannah had to hand it to Kravos. The Dark Lord had made some mindless killing machines. The stinger of the scorpion was fast and its instinctive strike was fast enough to pass through Zannah's fan of light while her blades succeeded in severing its pincers; but the tail of the creature wouldn't...

Zannah was a crimson whirlwind. Her defense had been successful, but there was no time to celebrate or gloat. She saw the scorpion-like creature leap towards her with blinding speed and moved to defend. She held out her double-bladed lightsaber horizontally in front of her and spun its twin...

Zannah had no time to be frustrated at their failure to avoid the abomination. In the back of her mind, she had almost expected it. But, rather than ignite her lightsaber and leap into the fray, she decided to be more... practical. The Sith woman reacted on instinct, allowing the dark side of...

Beneath her mask, Zannah paused and grimaced, though to the Emperor it would only appear that she had hesitated momentarily. The black helmet she wore was both useful for protecting her and from concealing her most immediate reactions. It was just that there was no such application to the Force...

Zannah was pleased with herself for the span of an instant for solving the puzzle before a cold presence awakening from deep within the tomb wiped the smirk that had begun to form underneath her mask right off her face. It was unlike any dark presence she had ever felt, accompanied by a coldness...

Zannah crossed the threshold into the tomb and strolled down the hallway without a word. Only her mechanical breathing kept her company as it echoed out of her helmet and off of the walls. The first chamber was utterly bland, but the shrewd Sith woman could recognize a puzzle when she saw one...

Zannah felt the red sand crunching beneath her black boots as she strolled towards the tomb of the long dead Darth Kravos, most ancient of the Sith Lords. The tomb belched out the dark side in waves that she felt as wind brushing passed her armor. This place was alive with power. Undisturbed...

Zannah looked to the other woman, Zarya, but then returned her focus to the Dark Lord. Any discontent she had with the woman's answer was hidden behind her mask. The Sith were at the weakest point in their history. Not since their founding had the Order been forced to hide in the shadows of the...

Zannah had, of course, heard of the tomb of Darth Kravos. Typically, journeying into the tomb of an ancient Sith Lord was a bad idea—and Darth Kravos in particular was thought to have placed brutal traps within his own tomb—but the Emperor was powerful enough. And Zannah herself was, of course...

Zannah was the type of Sith to keep to herself, especially after the Order's recent defeats, but very few Sith would refuse the call of the Emperor—even her. She wouldn't ever admit it, but his summons had aroused her curiosity. Whatever mission lay before him was a dangerous one and had to be...
