They wanted to topple the galaxy into an age of pointless destruction." The Dark Council contained several, pitted against those that preferred the Cold War. It was why his false death had been so effective at unbalancing them all.

"Intelligence helped to maintain the balance, and I protected it from Sith who desired war. My daughter commands it now, but she does not control it. It will continue to weaken and fracture as others claw their desires from it. The Dark Council will devour her, and war will come. The archives alone contain everything they need to unleash it."
