If you vote, give a reason please. I belive the Exile will take this. she was a powerful Jedi, and fought through many battles. She was a general in the Mandalorian wars, which killed many jedi. she also fought through many battles on the search for the lost jedi. She defeated Sion 4 times, Nihilus, and Traya, who was increadibly powerful in the forcce. she also fought through many powerful storm beasts and sith on Malachor V.
Maul has done impressive things, but i believe the Exile has this one.
In a saber duel, I'm pretty damn sure Maul will win. In the force, I bet she might score a victory, but we don't have THAT much to go on. But since Maul is fast, and a very resistant guy to damage of all sorts, it'll probably come down to a saber duel, which Maul will most likely win.
That's my opinion.

Agreed. Maul is a better duelist. The Exile has enough of an advantage in a force fight to win in an exclusively force powers duel. In an all out match, though, Maul's resiliency and speed would be enough to hold off force attacks from completely debilitating him so that he could get into melee and take the win.
Are there any canonical facts regarding Exiles duelling prowless?
I was just led by playing the game to believe that you effectively customise your Exile as much as you want? Spend all your attribute points in strength and dexterity, upgrade the saber, and you could cut down Traya or Sion etc with one or two hits? Of course, it's a game, not the most reliable source for canon information...
Maul does have the physical advantage, but if the exile has completed the game and is lightside, that means she has
Spoiler:which would put her at least equal with maul's lightsaber skills, so I say that she stays back and wears him down with the force, then when shes running low she can put on the power and get him.

Maul takes this easily. The Exile hasn't proved to be anything special in saber combat.
Sion - She only broke his will, and Sion hasn't proved anything with the lightsaber yet.
Nihilus - He was weakened when he fought the Exile, he wasn't at his full powers, since she being a wound in the Force affects him.
Traya - As Jolly said, she's a one-handed ol' woman, no saber skill to speak of.
Besides, Maul is on of the deadliest Sith apprentices of all times. I don't think the Exile's Force powers (which aren't that great) are enough to help defeat Maul.

Traya may not be abeast[threat] when it comes to lightsaber combat, but she certainly is a very powerful Force user.
Being cryptic doesn't mean you're powerful. Her only feat is killing those three Jedi Masters, which, for all we know (seeing as how she sat down beforehand and refused to enter) required preparation to do.
And anyone can lift three lightsabers.
Are you serious?
She force pushed three powerful Jedi Masters at once, Vrook twice who was noted as being on of the most powerful Jedi Masters in the galaxy.
She can cloak her presence in the force to the point that she can literally stand right in front of Jedi Masters faces and have them not even notice her.
She is able to own Dark Side Exile (who's probably stronger then LS Exile) in the force toward the end of the game on Dantooine
She studied on Malachor for years and subsequently was the Keeper of the Jedi Archives and she's said she delved into Jedi and Sith knowledge
She has healing abilities that have only been mimicked by Cade Skywalker, who as Luke Skywalker said "he'd never seen before."
She can dig through beings minds with ease and even toy around with people who are specifically trained (Atton) to resist Jedi mind tricks.
Aside from you blatant misinterpretation of the scene in the Academy she needs zero prep time to perform the drain as she does it again to the 10 Sith Assassins who surround her on Malachor.
She continually makes Mical forget about her being a Sith and such.
Mical didn't even know she was on board the ship.
And I'm sure anyone can "lift" three lightsabers, but to have them perform seemingly independent of each other attacking in sporadic random patterns...no.
But yeah she's never done anything

Sidious managed to almost electrocute the most powerful Jedi the Galaxy has seen up to that point (Yoda). And Maul, if I recall that correctly, had once almost brought Sidious down.

Sure thing. Ever watched TPM ? Just before Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon start fighting Maul he's obviously standing around 3 metres away from them (behind the closed door) and neither Obi-Wan nor Qui-Gon seems to sense Maul before they finally see him.

Oh my. Not canon hence absolutely useless.
She studied on Malachor for years and subsequently was the Keeper of the Jedi Archives and she's said she delved into Jedi and Sith knowledge
Since when has Kreia been the Keeper of the Jedi Archieves ? That position, even before the Mandalorian Wars, belonged to Atris. And there's nothing to suggest something different.
Maul was trained in the ways of the Sith for more than 2 decades, had access to Jedi and Sith knowledge and - not to forget that - his master was one of the most powerful Sith Lords ever. Despite of that Maul almost killed him. Aside of that Maul was trained for a single purpose: Killing Jedi.
She has healing abilities that have only been mimicked by Cade Skywalker, who as Luke Skywalker said "he'd never seen before."
Which she didn't use against the Exile and never demonstrated during a fight. So I don't see a point for actually mentioning them.
She can dig through beings minds with ease and even toy around with people who are specifically trained (Atton) to resist Jedi mind tricks.
And how often did she demonstrate that ability on a fully trained force user ? Digging into Sion's mind could have saved her hand.
Aside from you blatant misinterpretation of the scene in the Academy she needs zero prep time to perform the drain as she does it again to the 10 Sith Assassins who surround her on Malachor.
Have you seen Kreia using that drain against the Sith assassins ? My version might be bugged somehow but I just see them following Kreia, then the screen goes black and they are lieing on the ground. And unfortunatelly she still had enough time to prepare that attack unless you want to tell me that Kreia isn't able to sense the assassins before she sees them.
She continually makes Mical forget about her being a Sith and such.Mical didn't even know she was on board the ship.
And Mical is the epitome of force power...
And I'm sure anyone can "lift" three lightsabers, but to have them perform seemingly independent of each other attacking in sporadic random patterns...no.
Pass what you're smoking. She levitates them. Only one strikes at each point. I wonder where you got that fancy levitating-lightsaber fighting abilities from. They are at least not demonstrated in the game.
And even if that would be the case... Maul annihilated the Jedi Order's Battlemaster (Anoon Bondara), almost killed one of the most powerful Sith ever (Sidious), defeated one of the Orders finest duellist (Qui-Gon) after surviving against him and Obi-Wan together. He almost managed to destroy the Black Sun completely. Not to mention that his Doppelgänger almost managed to kill Vader. In a lightsaber duel, the Exile would be pretty much dead.
Force combat ? Aside of the fact that a lightside Exile lacks pretty many offensive force powers, Maul can take pretty much physical damage. I recall him surviving two explosions (both Shadow Hunter), he simply resisted a Stunner shot and I recall him running straight through force lightning.
Not to mention that he's pretty much uber fast. In Shadow Hunter he's able to run after a freaking air speeder and catch it aside from cutting two holes into a building and run through them in the time a rocket needs to cross a single room (enabling him to escape the explosion).
So unless the Exile miracously manages to kill Maul via force use (and I doubt she can do that if she's lightside) this will result in a lightsaber fight which Maul would win without a doubt.
Nai has some very good points. (Don't worry, I wouldn't waste a post to point out the obvious).
Just two quick things: Maul could have destroyed the Black Sun, but he didn't thanks to Sidious' orders, I just wanted to clear that up.
The Exile's only praise with a lightsaber is her versatility. Maul crushed Anoon Bondara, who's adaptness was praised, and was also overall one of the best lightsaber fighters, with the most technical skill at the time.
This is too unconclusive. While we have records from other Kotor character's feats, the jedi exile has not much information. Also, if i am not wrong, Vandar described her to Vrook as an "average force user", so if she was powerful was due to all the other force users around her. She used their power to power herself up it seems.
So, since i don't believe a "average force user" can beat Maul and since this is a alone fight (she will not have other force users to drain in), i give it to him.
