Tausend Jahre, bevor Darth Vader und sein Meister Imperator Palpatine die Galaxis unterdrückten, waren die Sith zerstritten und darum für kaum jemanden eine Bedrohung als für sich selbst. Doch dann kam Darth Bane, der Schöpfer der Dunkelheit. Er zerstörte das alte System, in dem die Sith wie Könige herrschten, und erließ die Regel der Zwei: Ein Meister, ein Schüler.
