Ragnos-Naga Sadow's predecessor. Ragnos declared that Exar Kun would be the new Dark Lord of the Sith, and that Ulic Qel-Droma would be his first apprentice. Together, the two would conquer the galaxy and build a new Sith Empire. Exar Kun began his part of the work by recruiting several impressionable Jedi students from the Jedi learning center on Ossus, bringing them to Yavin 4, then using the power of a Sith holocron to turn them to the dark side. After sending them out on missions to assassinate their former masters, Kun traveled to Coruscarit to secure the release of Ulic Qel-Droma, who had brashly attacked the center of the Republic in hopes of a swift victory. In the process he once more faced his former master, Vodo Siosk Baas, this time armed with a double-bladed lightsaber of his own construction. Master Vodo did not have a chance, and fell to his former student. Kun and Ulic escaped back to Yavin 4, where they planned their next attack against the Jedi learning center on Ossus. Arranging for Aleema Keto to use a Sith artifact to trigger a supernova, the two launched their forces at the evacuating Jedi, while they went in search of Jedi relics to plunder. While Ulic battled his brother Cay Qel-Droma, Exar Kun returned with his treasure to Yavin 4-only to be betrayed by Ulic. Blocked from using the Force-light or dark-by his former paramour Norm Sunrider, Ulic Qel-Droma surrendered to the Jedi and told them where to find Exar Kun's secret base. Seeing that the Jedi fleet in the skies above him was poised to destroy him, Exar Kun opted for a somewhat risky escape. Utilizing the alchemical apparatus he used to mutate the Massassi, Exar Kun divested himself of his physical body and took refuge within one of his temples, knowing that his spirit would live forever and waiting for the day when he could take his vengeance on the Jedi.

The New Sith
The Sith species had died out two thousand years earlier, but their teachings lived on to be studied and absorbed by new darksiders. The word "Sith" itself came to mean a sect devoted to the dark side, though true students of Sith teachings were few and far between. One such student was a rogue Jedi who abscondeo from the Jedi temple with a rare Sith holocron. Armed with its corrupt knowledge, this Jedi founded a new order of Sith, who flourished over the next thousand years. Though the Sith were strong enough to threaten their ancient Jedi enemies, they began fighting among themselves, and a great many of them were destroyed. The survivors, united under Sith Lord Kaan, gathered together to found a new Sith empire, but were driven back over the course of several battles to the planet Ruusan. There, Kaan's Sith warriors made their final stand, constructinga Force-powered "thought bomb." When the Jedi arrived for the final conflict, Lord Kaan detonated the device, destroying himself, his Sith army, and theJd Knights. The Jedi grieved at their losses, but also rejoiced that the Sith threat was finally ended. Unfortunately, this was not so. One Sith Lord, Darth Bane survived.
Darth Bane Darth Bane, the last surviving Sith from the devastatng Battle of Ruusan, devised a different path to pow and darkness. The old system failed time and time again, and Bane decided that it was time for a new Sith Order to emerge, with a new philosophy and approach to conquest and vengeance. Where his nor+ lead associates craved power to such an extent that hey even fought among themselves, Bane came to appreciate the need for patience and stealth. He would develop a new code of conduct. But first, he had to and refuge in the wake of the titanic battles between he forces of light and dark.
