A confrontation took place on the planet Ambria in 990 BBY that culminated in a short lightsaber duel between the failed Jedi Padawan Darovit and a team of fourteen Jedi. Darovit had discovered his cousin, the Sith apprentice Darth Zannah, on the planet Coruscant, where she was undercover as a Jedi. Fearing she would be discovered, Zannah took Darovit to her Master, Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Bane, on the planet Tython. They were followed by a group of Jedi who engaged Zannah and Bane in a duel, and although the Jedi were killed, Bane suffered life-threatening injuries. After the duel, Zannah took Bane to the healer Caleb on Ambria, who refused to heal the dying Dark Lord unless Zannah surrendered her Master to the Jedi Order. Zannah accepted Caleb's demands and sent word to the Jedi that a Sith Lord still lived.

Zannah, however, betrayed and murdered Caleb after his part of the bargain was upheld. She then used Sith magic to drive Darovit insane and furnished him with a gold-bladed lightsaber. When a team of six Jedi Masters and eight Jedi Knights led by Master Tho'natu arrived on Ambria to arrest the Sith Lord, they were attacked by the insane Darovit. Believing him to be the Dark Lord, the Jedi quickly cut him down. Assuming the Sith had finally been eliminated from the galaxy, the Jedi left the planet, allowing Bane's Order of the Sith Lords to survive. The Sith remained hidden from the Jedi for nearly a millennium, until they finally revealed themselves with the power to take over the galaxy.
