Synopsis:
Darth Sidious sends Darth Maul on a mission
to eliminate a certain disturbance in the Force. Sidious informs
Maul that the phenomenon threatens to wake the Jedi from their
complacency and inability to sense the return of the Sith.
Maul tracks his quarry to a cantina on a planet in the Outer Rim.
The disturbance is in the form of a Drovian brute called Silus, who
is extremely strong in the dark side of the Force. Silus is a
champion competitor in a fighting sport that involves use of the
Force, and the winning of credits.
When Maul enters, an Aleena called Tabor engages Silus in combat.
Tabor is no match for him, and dies quickly.
Maul confronts Silus, and opens a holocommunication channel to his
master. Through the holo, Sidious offers Silus an opportunity to
become his new apprentice: by giving him a chance to kill Darth
Maul. Maul is confused by his Master's apparent betrayal, and turns
to great anger. He kills Silus without much effort. Maul later
realizes that it was merely a test of his own strength, and a lesson
demonstrating that in fear there is power. |
