Geocache Description:

Are You Smarter Than A Sith Apprentice?

You are an inhabitant of the newly rebuilt city of Dreshdae on the planet Korriban. You have dedicated your life to becoming a Sith apprentice after your family was killed due to Jedi negligence during the Yuuzhan Vong War. Although untrained, your skills in the Force have grown strong and recently have gained the attention of Sith Masters at the Sith Academy. You have been summoned to take the Sith Apprentice entrance exams required of all prospective students. If you pass the tests, you will be allowed to enter the next level of testing which involves physical competitions for a coveted Sith medallion. No prospective students can gain entrance to the Sith Academy without first passing the tests.

To gain entrance to the next level of testing, you must answer the questions below. Once you have your answers, use them to solve the puzzle.

Do you think you have what it takes to become a Sith Apprentice?

I destroyed the Sith Brotherhood of Darkness and established the Rule of Two, which stated that there could be only two Sith, a master and an apprentice. What year did I destroy the Sith Brotherhood of Darkness? 1st digit = A.


I abolished the Rule of Two, and established the Rule of One. Instead of two there is now only one, the Sith Order itself. What year did the Sith make our presence known openly under my leadership, and start the Sith–Imperial War? 2nd digit = B


Once a Jedi, I saw the error in my ways and turned to the Dark Side. What year did I betray my master and become Dark Lord of the Sith? 1st digit = C


I played an instrumental role in events which ultimately resulted in the Clone Wars and Order 66, which started the Great Jedi Purge. What year did I kill Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn? 2nd digit = D.


So consumed by the dark side of the Force was I, that it eroded my physical body. To cheat death, I encased my spirit in the armor I wore, and allowed the dark side to consume my useless body. What year did I destroy the Jedi conclave and find my apprentice? 2nd digit = E.


I loyally served as one of the Hands, or enforcers, of the Dark Lord of the Sith. I killed Jedi Master Kol Skywalker in what year? 1st digit = F.


A follower of the Rule of Two, I murdered my master to become the Dark Lord of the Sith. During my reign, I was considered by many to be the most powerful Sith Lord the galaxy had ever known. I planned the Great Jedi Purge and saw it come to fruition with the execution of Order 66 in what year? 1st digit = G.


I loyally served as one of the Hands, or enforcers, of the Dark Lord of the Sith. In what year did I accompany the Dark Lord of the Sith and the other Hand in an attack to seek revenge for the betrayal of the Dark Lord by another Sith Master? 3rd digit = H.


Once a Jedi Knight, I was the Chosen One who was prophesized to restore balance to the Force. I turned to the dark side and commanded the forces of the Dark Lord of the Sith during the Great Jedi Purge. I killed my old Jedi Master in what year? 1st digit = I.


Like many other Sith Masters after me, I started my training in the Force as a Jedi but soon abandoned them in search of greater knowledge and power. I became one of the strongest Sith Lords of all time. What year was my spirit chained for all eternity during a battle with the Jedi, and on what moon of the planet Yavin? 4th digit = J, 1st digit = K.
