Not sure I'm completely onboard the whole "Vader had a secret apprentice" thing from the titular video game, but as long as the book has some Zahn era information on people like Garm Bel Iblis (much like the KOTOR sourcebook having info on the old Dark Horse comics), then it should be worth it for me.

Yea, the simplicity of just two Sith has been completely blurred. I think that was fairly dumb the first time I heard it in Episode I from Yoda's mouth, "Always two, a master....and an Apprentice."

Two guys can't run/ruin the Universe. Now the Sith have all kinds of "mini minions" that use the force to some degree which completely flies in the face of that qoute. I mean, how many other "Apprentice Potentials" Darth Sidious is leading along to get his dark work done? And if Vader the Apprentice can get an Apprentice, where does that string of Amateur Sith end? A secret Apprentice that Palpatine can't detect? Palaptine would be able to sniff that out way way ahead. Perhaps he is too busy playing with his miniatures.

Cheers,

Officially, in cannon, there are only two Sith, all the other's are just 'dark' Force users, or fallen Jedi who follow the banner of the Sith, but there are only two who have the right to call themselves Sith.

Okay, saw this at the FLGS . . . looked through it . . . wow I love this thing, and only a some of it even pertains to the actual game and its storyline, and a lot of it dovetails with the the backstory from the Zahn novels.

I like the idea of the Unleashed abilities, but I need to read through them a bit more.
