Duel on Tython

A lightsaber duel took place in 990 BBY between the surviving Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Bane and his apprentice Darth Zannah, against a group of five Jedi led by Lord Valenthyne Farfalla. After her escape from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Zannah arrived on the Deep Core world of Tython to warn Darth Bane of the Jedi's awareness of their existence and subsequent pursuit. The Sith barricaded themselves within the abandoned fortress of the long-dead Dark Lord Belia Darzu, in expectation of imminent combat with their enemies. Intent on the destruction of the last of the Sith, the Jedi descended upon Darzu's temple and engaged Darths Bane and Zannah in combat. Despite their strength in numbers, however, all five Jedi were slain by the two Sith, who proved stronger with both the lightsaber and in the Force.
