Description
The Flight of Starbreaker 12
In the midst of a bitter struggle in the magnificent Sith Empire, Naga Sadow stages a violent charade – freeing innocent captives Gav and Jori Daragon and secretly whisking them and their ship, Starbreaker 12, off to his private fortress. He then plants evidence to imply that the rescue strike was the precursor to a full-scale invasion from the Republic. Sadow uses the turmoil to seize control of the Empire, proclaiming himself Dark Lord of the Sith. His arch rival, Ludo Kressh, vows never to follow him and storms off, taking his supporters with him. Meanwhile, on the other side of the galaxy, the scholarly Jedi Odan-Urr travels to Coruscant with the Empress Teta and her advisor Memit Nadill. There, they speak of Odan-Urr’s visions about the threat of long-forgotten Sith forces, but – despite the silent concern of the other Jedi Knights in attendance – they are laughed out of the council chambers . . . Naga Sadow has deeper plans for Gav and Jori. Separating them, he keeps Gav in his main stronghold on the moon Kar Shian while Jori remains in a “decoy” fortress on the main planet Khar Delba. He begins to train Gav as his protégé, teaching him rudimentary Sith magic while Jori broods, anxious to return home with Starbreaker 12. Only the navicomputer of their ship holds the convoluted information on how to find the great Republic. Ludo Kressh, however, discovers Sadow’s trickery and mounts an armed rebellion against the evil Dark Lord, vowing to fight to save the Sith Empire from Sadow’s reckless plans. As Sadow visits Jori in his decoy fortress, Kressh’s warships come in, intent on the total destruction of the Dark Lord of the Sith . . .
