The Assassination attempt on Lord Vitiate was a mission carried out by the Jedi Masters Revan and Meetra Surik to eliminate Vitiate, the Dark Lord of the Sith and Emperor of the reconstituted Sith Empire.

History
In 3,950 BBY, Meetra Surik came to the world of Dromund Kaas, the captial of the reconstituted Sith Empire looking for Revan. She found him a prisoner of Darth Nyriss, a member of the Dark Council. She also came into contact with Scourge, a Sith Lord who came to believe that the Emperor might likely bring about the destruction of the Sith species, if not the entire galaxy. With that in mind, Scourge agreed to work with Surik to help free Revan and stop the Emperor. Scourge appeared to Vitiate, and informed him of Nyriss's treachery against him, in collusion with some of the other members of the Council. Vitiate dealt with the conspiracy by massacring the entire Council, sparking off a series of riots. Revan, Surik and Scourge took the advantage of the diversion provided by the riots to inflirtrate the Imperial Citadel and assassinate Vitiate.

When the group approached the Citadel, they were greeted by half a dozen Imperial Guardsmen; however, Scourge persuaded them to let the group in and take them to just outside the throne room. Right before the Guardsmen were to open the doors to the room, and let them inside, Captain Yarri appeared and told them that only Scourge was allowed inside. When one of the Guardsmen pulled Revan away from the doors, Yarri saw his distinctive mask and realized who he was. Revan stunned the soldier who grabbed him with a kick, enabling his droid T3-M4 to shoot him with his blaster. At the same time, Surik took on two of the Guardsmen while Scourge fought Yarri. When a alarm was triggered by one of the other soldiers, Revan telekinetically threw the doors wide open. When one of the Guardsmen tried to stop Revan from entering the throne room, he leapt and somersaulted over the soldier, then tried to send him flying with the Force, only staggering him half a step because he was able to draw on the Emperor's power to augment himself. He feinted with a high chop, and when the Guard went to protect his legs, Revan slashed him across the throat. Revan and T3-M4 entered the room, while Surik and Scourge battled the guards outside. When a half dozen more Guards appeared, Revan ripped the stone archway above them free with the Force, causing them to fall back.
