Darth Baras' first lightsaber

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Darth Baras owned a single-bladed lightsaber during the Great Galactic War and the Cold War. During the Great Galactic War, at some point prior to 3664 BBY, the Jedi Padawan Xerender engaged the Sith Lord Darth Baras in a duel. Xerender was joined in his fight by his Jedi Master Wyellett, who attempted to sway Baras to the light side of the Force. The Jedi failed in this task, and although Baras escaped, Wyellett managed to steal the Sith Lord's lightsaber and use it in conjunction with his own.

In 3642 BBY, Baras would send his apprentice, the future Emperor's Wrath, to Hoth to search for a weapon that turned out to be Wyelett, using his connection with the force to locate the lightsaber. It was retrieved before it could be sold to a pack of Talz scavengers.
