Historical Examples and Implications of the Sith Rule of Two

Historical Examples and Implications of the Sith Rule of Two was an article authored by the historian Beaumont Kin and published in Volume 3119 of the publication The Lerct Historical Institute Review, published by the Lerct Historical Institute. The article covered the Rule of Two, a Sith directive which ensured there could only be two Sith Lords existing at once, a master and an apprentice. In his 35 ABY book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, Kin referenced the article when he noted that while the Sith Lord Darth Sidious nominally followed the Rule of Two, he did not believe Sidious's purpose in training his apprentice, Darth Vader, was for him to be overthrown.
