On a Republic space station orbiting Korriban , two Jedi , Satele Shan and her master Kao Cen Darach , along with Jace Malcom and a Republic trooper , are escorting Nico Okarr , a smuggler they have captured , who had been smuggling Sith artifacts out of Korriban and keeps on wanting to have his ship back . Suddenly , Satele Shan states that she feels a great darkness . Moments later , a fleet of Sith capital ships and fighters comes out of hyperspace and begins to attack the space station . Satele ' s master immediately recognizes it as the return of the Sith Empire and expresses the need to warn the Republic . Because the space station does not have any ship capable of outrunning the Sith , the smuggler suggests using his ship , which supposedly is the fastest in the sector . As the Jedi clear the hangar area of Sith soldiers , Okarr aids the two troopers , in fighting off an attack from a Sith boarding party . In the midst of the fight , Malcom ' s comrade is killed , and Okarr defeats the remaining Sith soldiers while Malcom closes the door . While preparing to board Okarr ' s ship a " Fury " - class Imperial interceptor lands in the hangar , and two Sith emerge . Corporal Malcom and Okarr board the smuggler ' s ship and prep it for launch , while Satele and her Master attempt to hold off the two Sith : Darth Malgus and Lord Vindican in a heated lightsaber duel . The ship gets off the ground , and the Jedi are able to push the Sith aside momentarily . Kao Cen Darach instructs Satele to escape in the ship , saying " You must walk a different path " , and returns to face the two Sith . Shan throws her master her double - bladed lightsaber and leaves on the ship . Malcom and Shan man the quad laser cannons aboard Okarr ' s ship as he pilots the craft through an asteroid field , evading Sith fighters . The Jedi Master skillfully duels both Sith , severely wounding the Pureblood Vindican by stabbing him in the stomach with one of Shan ' s lightsaber ' s blades . Malgus takes his wounded master ' s lightsaber along with his own and re - engages the Zabrak . They fight each other blow for blow ; however , Malgus quickly gains the upper hand , and after disarming Master Darach he finally kills him by slashing him across the chest with both blades . Satele feels his death , but fights on holding off the Sith long enough for them to make the jump to Hyperspace . With the duel over , Malgus approaches his master , telling him that he failed because Okarr ' s ship escaped , and word will go to the Republic that the Sith have returned . Vindican , however , says that this is only the beginning . Malgus then says , " Yes . After a thousand years , Korriban is ours again . Welcome home " . Malgus then turns on his lightsaber and kills Vindican . Behind the scenes . Kao Cen Darach is seen to catch Satele ' s saberstaff with his right hand ( wielding his own lightsaber with his left ) and fights much of the duel in this configuration . However , for several seconds the lightsabers have inexplicably switched places , with the saberstaff in his left hand and the single lightsaber in his right hand . The same also occurs with Malgus .
