Qi'ra has contact Maul, the actual leader of Crimson Dawn, informing him that Vos had failed to obtain the coaxium. After lying that Beckett had in fact killed Vos, Qi'ra was then ordered to bring the yacht to Dathomir, Maul's homeworld, and that she would be working more closely with Maul, leaving Solo behind.[1] Qi'ra then assumed Vos' role as the public figurehead of Crimson Dawn[3] and inherited control of the First Light.[13] Maul also taught her about the Sith Order, revealing to her that Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine was the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious, and that the Imperial enforcer Darth Vader was his Sith apprentice. He explained to her about the Rule of Two, and that he had been the apprentice of Sidious, "Darth Maul", until his usefulness was over after his presumed death.[7] Maul also trained her how to fight the Sith.[6] At one point, Maul tried to locate an artifact known as the Fermata Cage, which was said to hold the spirit of an ancient Sith Lord. He planned to open the cage and allow the spirit inside to destroy his former Sith master Darth Sidious, who was secretly Emperor Sheev Palpatine of the Galactic Empire. However, he was ultimately unable to release the spirit or destroy Sidious.
