	The Old Republic Era: approximately 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin.

			What Has Gone Before: Weeks after the surprise attack by the nomadic Mandalorians, the forces of the Republic have fallen back to protect more populated systems leaving Outer Rim worlds like Taris to fend for themselves. The Jedi Knights reject official involvement in the war, a view applauded by the Covenant, a secret organisation founded by the Order's greatest seers. The Covenant works, instead, to predict and prevent the return of the Sith and its prime suspect for triggering that event in the future is an unlikely one: Zayne Carrick, an indistinguished Padawan. Even after being framed by his Masters for a crime he did not commit, Zayne proves hard to capture, fleeing with con-artist Gryph and finding refuge in the Under City of Taris. There, Zayne and Gryph learn there are worse things on Taris than Mandalorians.

	Available from		Part 1: Knights of the Old Republic (issue #25) by John Jackson Miller, Scott Hepburn et al. Publication date: January 30th 2008 When a terrible vision reaching more than four thousand years into the future alerts the secret Jedi Covenant to the importance of Taris, they activate an operative already on this planet overrun by Mandalorians. There, in the deadly Undercity, Celeste Morne encounters a monstrous threat as many war refugees as well as Undercity residents have transformed into Rakghouls: hulking, mindless monsters bent on destruction. One bite from a Rakghoul and the transformation begins! Also seeking refuge from the invading Mandalorians in the Undercity are Zayne and Gryph who are desperately trying to escape a horde of Rakghouls when they bump into Celeste. Reluctantly Celeste rescues the bungling twosome from the monsters but they all end up in the deepest catacombs of the Undercity when they fall through the floor. There the trio discover a Mandalorian search party, not looking for refugees but for a lost ancient Sith artifact!

	Available from		Part 2: Knights of the Old Republic (issue #26) by John Jackson Miller, Scott Hepburn et al. Publication date: March 19th 2008 The Mandalorian search party return with their find to the iceworld of Jebble, now a Mandalorian stronghold. Unbeknown to the Mandalorians they have three stow-aways: Zayne, Gryph and Celeste. En-route to Jebble Celeste tries a Jedi mind-trick on Pulsipher, the leader of the Mandalorian search party, to throw the artifact, known as the Muur Talisman, away. However, Pulsipher is drawn to it and is surprised when the talisman wraps itself round his wrist, but when his colleagues try to remove it they are killed by a mysterious power. Arriving on Jebble, Zayne and Gryph are discovered but fortunately are believed to be part of a group of new recruits and are bundle off with the other recruits for armour and weapons. But when Zayne spots Celeste spying the Mandalorian command post, Gryph uses one of the oldest tricks to get all of them past the guards. Once inside, Celeste plans to continue searching for the Talisman. However, it is not long before they are discovered due to the clumsy actions of Gryph. Just as it appears to be all over, some of the Mandalorians suddenly transform in Rakghouls and both our trio and the unaffected Mandalorians are fighting for their lives. Celeste is mystified as to why Rakghouls are here and why the transformation was so quick. Just barely escaping the rampaging monsters, Celeste, Zayne and Gryph discover a massive staging area for the imminent invasion of Alderaan, an invasion that could see the Rakghoul plague going galactic!

	Available from		Part 3: Knights of the Old Republic (issue #27) by John Jackson Miller, Scott Hepburn et al. Publication date: April 23rd 2008 It is clear that the Muur Talisman is somehow responsible for the transformation of the Mandalorian army into a new form of Rakghouls: able to use modern weapons these are Mando-Raks! Instead of invasion, the unaffected Mandalorians are now fighting a bitter struggle to hold back the rampaging Mando-Raks and amongst this chaos an unlikely friendship begins between Zayne and Celeste as they desperately try to warn the Republic of the Mando-Rak threat. Meanwhile, Gryph is rummaging for the possibility of financial gain when he inadvertently stumbles upon an old message from Lucien Draay - leader of the Jedi Covenant and Zayne's old Master, commanding Celeste to recover the Talisman and describing its power and affects. As Zayne stands guard outside the comm-dome, Celeste's only message is to her employer: Lucien Draay. He instructs Celeste to obtain the Talisman and to kill Zayne! But when Zayne enters the dome to send a message warning the rest of the Mandalorians to keep away from Jebble, her doubts of Zayne's guilt prevent her from slaying him. Leaving Celeste behind, Zayne goes in search of Gryph when he is captured by Pulsipher - holder of the Talisman and controller of the Mando-Raks. The power of the Talisman will restore Pulsipher's position in the Mandalorian hierarchy and he believes that Zayne can unlock its full potential. Instead the Talisman suddenly uncoils itself from Pulsipher's arm and while he finds himself the target of his own Mando-Rak guards, the Talisman is attracted to Zayne! Suddenly, Celeste bursts in killing the Mando-Raks and pulls the Talisman away from Zayne. It quickly attaches itself to Celeste whereupon she glimpses a vision - a vision of the future?
