On the planet of Moraband, the ancient Sith homeworld, within the Valley of the Dark Lords, the tomb of Darth Bane was situated, forming a component of the largest structure present in the valley. A monumental statue depicting Bane in his Sith armor stood proudly at the far end of the expansive burial chamber. Bane's stone sarcophagus concealed a clandestine entry to a chamber utilized by the ancient Sith for the purpose of sacrificing Jedi.

History

Death of Bane

Darth Bane emerged as the lone Sith survivor following the conclusion of the Jedi-Sith War. He established a novel Sith doctrine known as the Rule of Two, stipulating that only a pair of Sith—a master and an apprentice—could simultaneously exist in time. Bane acquired his own apprentice, Darth Zannah, and commenced the transmission of his accumulated knowledge. Subsequent to Bane's alleged demise at the hands of his apprentice, his mortal remains were interred within a sarcophagus. Bane holds the distinction of being the last Sith Lord to undergo burial in the Valley of the Dark Lords on Moraband before its eventual desertion.

Yoda's Mission to Moraband

During the Clone Wars era, specifically in 19 BBY, Yoda, the Grand Master of the Jedi Order, embarked on a traveled journey to Moraband with the objective of unlocking the secrets of immortality. Upon entering Darth Bane's tomb, Yoda was confronted by a vision of the ancient Sith Lord. The spectral manifestation of the Sith endeavored to entice the Jedi Master to embrace the dark side, but Yoda staunchly resisted. Bane's spirit then vanished into the sarcophagus, and Yoda pressed onward with his quest.

Behind the scenes

The tomb of Darth Bane debuted in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated television series, specifically in the sixth season episode titled "Sacrifice."
