Duel in the Dark Council Chambers (Kaggath)

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

- Darth Thanaton to Kallig.

This duel took place during the raging days of the Cold War. It was the final confrontation between the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Thanaton and the Sith Lord Kallig.

Prelude
When Darth Zash ordered her apprentice Kallig to kill Darth Skotia, Skotia's master Darth Thanaton became suspicious of Zash and her deeds. Thanaton detested Zash and soon, he saw Zash and her apprentices as vermin that needed to be cleansed from the Sith Empire. After Zash supposedly death, Kallig took her place and began serving Thanaton. However, Thanaton sought out to kill every follower of Zash and as such, tried to get rid of Kallig. This act would prove to be his undoing. Kallig survived Thanaton's many killing attempts and managed to build a power-base to fight Thanaton's forces. Seeing that all his attempts failed even after becoming a Dark Councilor, and after losing various apprentices, Thanaton called out a Kaggath to defeat Kallig once and for all. Duuring the Kaggath however, Thanaton fled to Korriban to ask the Dark Council for help.

The Duel
Darth Thanaton arrived on Korriban and went to the Dark Council Chamber to speak to his fellow Dark Councilors. Kallig arrived soon after and chased after Thanaton. After Kallig defeated another Sith who allied himself with Thanaton, Kallig entered the Chamber and confronted his nemesis. Thanaton said that Kallig and Zash were corrupt and needed to be get rid of. Kallig stated that Thanaton broke the rules of Kaggath and as such is nothing better than his false words. The Dark Council stated that if Thanaton wanted to keep his reputation and honor, he had to defeat Kallig in a duel.



They began fighting against each other but after various attacks, Thanaton was subdued by Kallig. The now desperate Sith Lord used his full powers to kill kallig, calling Force storms upon his enemy and shooting Force lightning. This was useless against Kallig, who, thanks to the ghosts he bound, was able to deflect andy of Thanaton's attacks. The empowered Kallig defeated Thanaton and the latter, heavily injured, crawled to his fellow Dark Councilors. The Dark Council saw that Thanaton was weaker than Kallig and lost the Kaggath. Darth Mortis apologized to Thanaton, before snapping his neck with the Force.

Aftermath
Kallig proved to be the more powerful Sith, and the Dark Council granted Kallig Thanaton's seat on the Dark Council. With this act, Kallig became the master of all the Sith and members of the Pyramid of Ancient Knowledge.
