Attack on the Sith Emperor The assassination attempt on the Sith Emperor was a mission carried out by the Jedi Masters Revan and Meetra Surik , with help from Sith Lord Scourge and droid T3 - M4 to eliminate the Sith Emperor , the Dark Lord of the Sith and Emperor of the reconstituted Sith Empire . History . In 3950 BBY , Meetra Surik came to the world of Dromund Kaas , the capital 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 the Sith Emperor , and informed him of Nyriss ' s treachery against him , in collusion with some of the other members of the Council . The Emperor 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 infiltrate the Imperial Citadel and try to assassinate the Dark Lord . The battle . When the group approached the Citadel , they were greeted by half a dozen Imperial Guard smen ; 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 an 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 . Confrontation with the Emperor . 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 , enabling Revan and the others to enter the throne room , with T3 - M4 closing and sealing the doors , while Revan engaged the Emperor , and Surik and Scourge held off Yarri and her Guards . Scourge slew one Guard with a slash to the chest , then he beheaded Yarri , while Surik took out both her opponents . While that was happening , the Emperor sent Revan flying backward with a telekinetic push . Then the Emperor tried to once again bring Revan under his control ; however , Revan opened himself up to both the Light Side and Dark Side , and released the Force energy in its purest form , sending the Emperor flying backward . Revan charged towards him ; however , he sent a bolt of Force lightning , which Revan blocked with his lightsaber . The Emperor then sent three more bolts , the first Revan deflected , the second he dodged , and the last he batted back towards the Emperor , striking him in the chest . Enraged , the Emperor unleashed a barrage of lightning , which Revan tried to draw in and contain , but the Emperor was too powerful , and Revan was badly burned . T3 - M4 came to Revan ' s aid by shooting a jet of flame from its flamethrower , which caused the Emperor to stop blasting Revan with lightning in order to shield himself . The Emperor retaliated by blasting the droid apart , to Revan ' s horror . He then picked up Revan ' s lightsaber and planned to kill him with it ; however , Surik saved him by throwing her own saber and knocking it out of the Emperor ' s hands . Scourge then rushed forward to stand beside the two Jedi . Suddenly , Scourge received a Force vision of all the various possible futures and outcomes of the fight . In some , Revan won , but in others , the Emperor was triumphant . Scourge didn ' t know which of the futures was most likely to occur or what he could do to help bring them about . All of a sudden , he saw a vision of the Emperor lying dead at the feet of a powerful Jedi , but one which was neither Revan , nor Surik , and he came to believe he knew what to do to help bring that about . He suddenly stabbed Surik in the back , shocking Revan with his betrayal and allowing the Emperor hit him with another lightning blast , bringing him into submission . Aftermath . When the Emperor told Scourge to explain himself , he lied and said that the two Jedi were working with Nyriss . The Emperor then ordered Scourge to finish off Revan . Scourge saw that Revan was badly wounded , and thought that he would die anyway , but when he went to try to kill Revan , the Emperor stopped him , saying that he proved himself . Afterwards , Revan was imprisoned and kept in a state of suspended animation , while the Emperor continually drained his energy and tried to pry inside his mind to find information about the Jedi and the Republic . For his seeming loyalty to the Sith Emperor , Scourge was made the first Emperor ' s Wrath and given immortality by the Emperor in a Sith ritual . Surik refused to pass on to the Force ; however , but stayed behind as a spirit and supported Revan with her own energy , giving Revan the strength to not only resist the Emperor ' s attempts to obtain his knowledge , but also influence the Sith Emperor ' s thoughts and exploit his fear of death to get him to postpone his invasion of the Republic as long as possible . Also , Scourge vowed that he would use his immortality and position , by coming to know the Emperor ' s strengths and vulnerabilities , so that when the future Jedi in his vision came along , he would be able to help bring about the Emperor ' s demise .
