She considered what Vahliri said about the Banite Sith, but she wasn't so sure she agreed.
Except Sidious came closer to wiping out the Jedi than anyone since Andraste, she said. It hadn't worked out, perhaps, but neither Jedi nor Sith would ever truly be gone. It was impossible to stamp out an idea.
The error most Sith believe today is that to be a Sith is only to rule, she said. She offered no further explanation than that, letting the Sith Master consider what that may have meant on her own time. She'd brushed shoulders with the Dark Lord before, and perhaps no one was a better example of what she said than him.
As Vahliri said their failure was in the rule of the strong, Trelain added her own statement. And our perception of strength, she said. As much as I hate to say it, wisdom and intelligence... identifying opportunity are not traits valued. Only brute force, she said, but the Force was far more than simply moving starships and knocking down walls. The Force could be used to perceive opportunity and manipulate others. It was something that Sidious - for all his faults - had been a master at doing.
Is that a question? she asked, with a smirk as Vahliri left her open-ended statement in the air.
