Duel in the Dark Council Chambers (Galactic War)

"I won't be defeated, it can't be!"

- Darth Thanaton to Kallig.

This duel took place during the the Cold War. The final confrontation between Darth Baras and the new Emperor's Wrath.

Prelude
Darth Baras was the master of the Sith Warrior who would become the Emperor's Wrath. They often had different opinions and that never changed. When the Sith Warrior was made a Lord of the Sith, Darth Baras forged a plan. He planned to act as the Voice of the Emperor to gain a higher position. But for that to work, he had to imprison the true Voice of the Emperor. His former apprentice managed to see through Baras' plan and freed the true Voice. The Emperor thanked the Sith Lord and made him the new Emperor's Wrath. The new Wrath, with the help of Darth Vowrawn went to Korriban to get rid of Baras once and for all.

The Duel
Baras attacked the Wrath with force lightning, but the latter was able to deflect it. Than the Wrath used lightsaber attacks to subdue Baras but Baras was able to counter his lightsaber strikes. After a long duel, Baras seemed to be defeated. He dropped his helmet and attacked his former apprentice with everything he got. The Wrath however, was too strong and defeated Baras. The Dark Lord was too weak to continue fighting and so he pledged the Dark Council for help. The Dark Council saw that Baras was not the true Voice of the Emperor and the Wrath spoke the truth. Darth Baras was than either killed, imprisoned or banished.

Aftermath
The Emperor's Wrath showed that Baras was wrong and that the Emperor himself chose him to be the new Emperor's Wrath.
