This issue starts out with Cade Skywalker being tortured by the Embrace of Pain . While Cade is bound helplessly to the Embrace , Darth Krayt tells the story of how he became Sith . After being disgraced in front of his people in the duel with Obi - Wan Kenobi on Tatooine , he fled into the Unknown Regions . Upon arriving , he encountered enemies that were not in the Force . His ship was attacked by a vessel of unknown origin and a fight followed between him and this new threat . Against weapons that were not known to him , the soon - to - be Sith Lord was overpowered and rendered unconscious . When he awoke , he found himself in the Embrace of Pain , with a new organic arm to replace his prosthetic one and in the company of someone who he could feel in the Force . Vergere explained to him his new situation involving the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong . Sensing the darkness within him , Vergere told him that they will speak again . The Yuuzhan Vong shapers experimented on him , replacing one eye with the eye of another creature and enhancing his body to withstand their treatments . During his captivity , he would speak with Vergere who explained to him in a very cryptic way how she had studied under Darth Sidious to train in the ways of the dark side . At one point , he had a vision of himself leading a new order of Sith to conquer the galaxy . Explaining his views on Darth Bane ' s Rule of Two and how he would change them , the fallen Jedi A ' Sharad Hett ceased to be and finally became Darth Krayt . Escaping the Yuuzhan Vong shortly before their invasion began , he fled to Korriban where he laid low throughout the War and he started his study under XoXaan . Thus began the new Sith Order . Over the many years , Darth Krayt built a large following of Sith , attempting to bring in Lumiya who refused and spent her time with Darth Caedus , who proved very useful to keep the eyes of the New Jedi Order away from Krayt ' s Order . After finishing his explanation , Krayt tells Skywalker that he needs him to heal him . Cade says he can ' t concentrate enough to be very effective when healing , but Krayt tells him that the Embrace of Pain will help him concentrate . Aboard the " Mynock " , the rescue crew mobilize to extract Cade from the Temple . At night , Cade sneaks out of his room to see Darth Talon who knocks him out and bring him before Darth Krayt . Krayt reveals that he knew all along of Cade ' s plan and that he has plans to make him become a real Sith . Hosk Trey ' lis is brought before them and Krayt offers Cade an ultimatum ; kill Trey ' lis or die . Cade refuses , knowing that Krayt ' s threat to kill him is empty since Krayt himself has acknowledged that he needs Cade to save him . However , the Bothan Jedi tells Cade that he is ready to die , but Cade again refuses saying that he will not allow anyone to die for him . Angered by Cade ' s stubbornness , Krayt himself ends Trey ' lis ' life with one swing of his lightsaber , but Trey ' lis becomes one with the Force . Skywalker is almost ready to give into his anger when a vision of his father appears before him and urges him to reconsider . However , Cade gives into to his anger and uses his power to shatter the transparisteel case containing his father ' s lightsaber , and begins his fight against Darths Krayt , Nihl and Talon . Darth Talon attempts to attack Cade , but he stabs Talon through the stomach and takes her out of the fight . A duel then ensues between Nihl and Cade , with Krayt taunting Cade and urging him to join the Sith . Behind the scenes . Darth Caedus is mistakenly referred to as Darth Cadeus in this issue . This was corrected in the trade paperback .
