Science Fiction
Once the Sith order teemed with followers. But their
rivalries divided them in endless battles for supremacy.
Until one dark lord at last united the Sith in the quest
to enslave the galaxy-and exterminate the Jedi. Yet it
would fall to another, far more powerful than the entire
Brotherhood of Darkness, to ultimately realize the full
potential of the Sith, and wield the awesome power of the
dark side as never before. Since childhood, Dessel has known only the abuse of his
hateful father and the dangerous, soul-crushing labor of a
cortosis miner. Deep in the tunnels of the desolate planet
Apatros, endlessly excavating the rare mineral valued
throughout the galaxy, Dessel dreams of the day he can
escape-a day he fears may never come. But when a high-
stakes card game ends in deadly violence, Dessel suddenly
finds himself a wanted man. On the run from vengeful Republic forces, Dessel vanishes
into the ranks of the Sith army, and ships out to join the
bloody war against the Republic and its Jedi champions.
There, Dessel's brutality, cunning, and exceptional
command of the Force swiftly win him renown as a warrior.
But in the eyes of his watchful masters, he is destined
for a far greater role in the ultimate Sith plan for the
galaxy-if he can prove himself truly worthy. As an acolyte in the Sith academy, studying the secrets
and skills of the dark side at the feet of its greatest
masters, Dessel embraces his new Sith identity: Bane.
However the true test is yet to come. In order to gain
acceptance into the Brotherhood of Darkness one must fully
surrender to the dark side through a trial by fire that
Bane, for all his unquenchable fury and lust for power,
may not be strong enough toendure . . . especially since
deception, treachery, and murder run rampant among the
Sith disciples, and utter ruthlessness alone is the key to
survival. Only by defying the most sacred traditions,
rejecting all he has been taught, and drawing upon the
long-forgotten wisdom of the very first Sith can Bane hope
to triumph-and forge from the ashes of that which he must
destroy a new era of absolute dark power.
