Marvel's recent Star Wars event, Hidden Empire, has recently revealed the Sith were the one enemy Palpatine feared - for an ancient Sith would be a true challenger to his might.

It's easy to imagine Darth Siberus' reaction if she was awoken during the time of the Empire she would sense the dark side was ascendant, and she'd certainly believe the beings at the top of the Empire were a worthy challenge. If the legend of Darth Siberus is real history in Star Wars, then it's quite possible Darth Vader and Palpatine encountered Darth Siberus herself. Recent comics have unveiled a Sith weapon called the Hand of Siberus, one that wields Force Lightning similar in nature to the unique type Darth Siberus used in 'Sleep of Ages.' It really does seem as though this legend is a real part of Star Wars history. But was he simply familiar with the legend, or did he actually meet Darth Siberus? 'Sleep of Ages' is presented as an in-universe legend, but every myth has a degree of truth to it, and Star Wars has recently hinted that is certainly the case with this one. It's reasonable to assume Darth Vader was familiar with the Sith legend of Darth Siberus, explaining how he hit upon the idea of freezing Han Solo in carbonite. Otherwise, she would put herself back into sleep again. She would then drain them dry, and use the Force to probe the galaxy in the hope a challenger had arisen. Anyone who found the tomb of Darth Siberus would be compelled to awaken her by enchantments she had placed upon the tomb. As Darth Siberus planned, over the millennia the legend of the princess led countless treasure-seekers to her world, Salaniss.

She came up with a ruthless scheme she planted myths and legends of a forgotten, benevolent princess across the galaxy, and then placed herself in carbonite suspension.
