What’s funny with a Sith and a Jedi teaming up to take down the baddies is that it turns the whole planet into a buddy cop movie almost. Maybe Breaking and Entering is a Jedi only technique?) Why you don’t just cut your way out with a lightsaber Qui-Gon style is beyond me. Okay, there is kind of this whole B-plot where you have to work with a Jedi who wants to stop them as well and more or less forces you to team up with him to accomplish your goal (He’s the only one around the let you out of a sealed room.
You are chasing/racing with Baras’ goons to the deepest depths of Belsavis where the whackjob Sith is locked up. Go ahead and take a moment if you need a second to wrap your head around the fact that Baras has siblings. Your first task is stopping Darth Baras from freeing his insane sister, Darth Ekkage, from Belsavis prison. The Council seems kind of dumb like that. Chapter Three is essentially set up as trying to break Darth Baras’ power base and stop his attempt to be declared by the Council to be the Emperor’s Voice and to be obey Baras’ no matter what. But the Servants know that this isn’t true, and the Emperor knows it isn’t true, so it’s actually Baras making yet another power play to be above even the Dark Council. The Servants tell you that your now former master Baras is telling the Dark Council that he is the Emperor’s Voice, essentially the guy the Emperor talks through to the Dark Council and whoever. Essentially, you are to go around and kill whoever stands in the Emperor’s way or whoever the Emperor wants. They have come to tell you that you have been more or less drafted by the Emperor (Yes, the actual real Sith Emperor) to be his “Wrath”. They call themselves the Servants of the Emperor’s Hand and suddenly I’m having Elder Scrolls Dark Brotherhood flashbacks. However, you have a pair of mysterious rescuers and no, they’re not a pair of mice.
That Sith that worked side by side with you to create a vacancy in the Dark Council for Darth Baras to fill is now after your job – at Baras’ request no less! Luring you to Quesh for a mission and then collapsing the cave on you and leaving you to die. Now that you’ve crushed Darth Baras’ opposition, secured his power, and help him ascend to the Dark Council, what reward shall you reap for all your loyal work? Well, how about being blown up in a cave and left for dead by Darth Vengean’s former apprentice turned Darth Baras’ replacement for you? Oh yes.
