- "Not a whimper. I believe her son is a Tyro."
- ―Yuvar Xal, on Zin's death
The son of Sith Saber Axela Zin was a Tyro in the Sith Tribe from the planet Kesh. In 43.5 ABY, Axela Zin was selected as a member of the strike team sent to recover the Meditation Sphere Ship and kill the Jedi Luke Skywalker. During the mission, Zin died honorably, and Lady Olaris Rhea declared that her son would be given a Master upon the team's return. However, before they could return, the team was nearly eliminated, yielding only one surviving member.
Biography[]
- "Make a note, Vestara."
"Her name is noted. Did you wish to add something about the son?"
"The boy shall find his Master when we return." - ―Olaris Rhea and Vestara Khai, after Zin's death
Vestara Khai (pictured) made a note for Axela Zin's son to be trained.
A male Force-sensitive was born on the remote planet Kesh[1] by 43.5 ABY.[2] He was the son of the Sith Saber Axela Zin, and he had become a Sith Tyro in the planet's Lost Tribe of Sith within two years of the conclusion of the Second Galactic Civil War.[1] In 43.5 ABY,[2] the boy's mother was chosen to be a member of the strike team sent to recover the Sith Meditation Sphere Ship and eliminate the Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker.[1]
During the mission, Zin was killed on a planet in the Maw. The Sith Master Yuvar Xal noted to the mission's commander, Lady Olaris Rhea, that the Sith Saber had died quietly and honorably, and added that Zin's son was a Tyro. Rhea then ordered her apprentice, Vestara Khai, to record the Saber's name and add that her son would be commended upon the team's return to Kesh by having a Master assigned to train him. However, before they could return to the Tribe's homeworld, the strike team was defeated during their attack on Skywalker, yielding Khai as the sole Sith survivor.[1]
Powers and abilities[]
Axela Zin's son was Force-sensitive. He was made a Tyro in Kesh's Sith Tribe[1] by 43.5 ABY,[2] although Rhea planned to initiate his full training in the dark side of the Force by giving him a Master upon the strike team's return to Kesh.[1]

(content now obsolete; backup link) dates the beginning of the Fate of the Jedi series to 43.5 ABY. As Fate of the Jedi: Abyss, the third instalment of the series, is dated to 43 ABY by The Essential Reader's Companion, its events must take place in 43.5 ABY. Therefore, Axela Zin's son's birth and elevation to Sith Tyro, which Abyss establishes must have happened before its events, both occurred by 43.5 ABY.
