The Duel on Tython was a lightsaber battle that took place in 990 BBY between the surviving Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Bane and his apprentice Darth Zannah, against a group of five pursuing Jedi led by Jedi Lord Valenthyne Farfalla. The duel took place on the Jedi birth-world of Tython, in the massive fortress of the long-dead Sith Lord Belia Darzu.

The duel ensued just after Darth Zannah arrived on Tython to warn her Sith Master Darth Bane that the Jedi were aware of their existence. Intent on destroying the last of the Sith, Lord Farfalla and his Jedi followed them to Tython and stormed the temple of Belia Darzu, engaging the two Sith Lords in combat. What followed was an intense display of lightsaber technique and Force ability from all involved. The battle was fierce, and though they had strength in numbers, the Jedi would not survive the day. When the duel ended, all five Jedi were dead, and Darth Bane lay seriously injured, on the very threshold of death.
