Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from
the Star Wars: Republic comic series:
- Issues 72 & 73 : Trackdown
HUNT FOR THE SECOND SITH
Information obtained from the captured renegade Jedi
Quinlan Vos could be vitally important to a Republic
victory in the Clone Wars - or it could be a setup
for a massive ambush. Jedi spy-master Tholme decides
to send his best agent, Aayla Secura, to the Outer
Rim worlds in hopes of verifying Vos' story.
But if following the information could be dangerous
for an entire Republic fleet, how safe can it
possibly be for a single Jedi?
With Aayla Secura's help, Jedi Master Tholme has
uncovered a Separatist plot that could drastically
alter the Republic's fortunes in the Clone Wars-for
the worse!
Anzati assassins are feared throughout the galaxy
for their deadly cunning and stealth. Their only
rivals were the now defunct cult of Morgukai
assassins, whose strength and sheer tenacity made
them dangerous adversaries even for the Jedi. Now,
unexpectedly, the Morgukai are back-and in numbers
not seen for hundreds of years. Worse, they are
being trained by Anzati masters, and working for
Count Dooku!
Occurs during the thirty-first month after the
Battle of Geonosis.
- Issues 74, 75, 76 & 77 : The Siege
of Saleucami
THE BATTLE OF SALEUCAMI
The Outer Rim Sieges have begun, and Jedi Master
Oppo Rancisis leads the Republic forces in a
desperate drive against a new and major Separatist
threat on the planet Saleucami. Aayla Secura and
her army must punch through the Separatist fleet
to bring re-enforcements and much needed supplies.
On the surface of the planet-and beneath
it-battles rage, and betrayal simmers! The Dark
Jedi Sora Bulq has allies ... and one may be among
the Jedi themselves!
With his supply lines cut and his Clone army
decimated, General Oppo Rancisis fears he will not
have the forces to prevent Dark Jedi Sora Bulq
from taking the Morgukai Shadow Army off-world to
threaten the galaxy.
There is a desperate plan for a foray into the
magma tunnels of Saleucami, but before the plan
can be carried out, Rancisis is attacked by Anzati
assassins and by Sora Bulq himself. Meanwhile,
Tholme confronts his former padawan, and the
battle between them has deadly consequences!
Two Jedi heroes have fallen and the Republic
forces on Saleucami are on the verge of being
overrun by the Separatist's Morgukai clones.
As the Sith move toward their final revenge, it
seems only one Jedi can help piece together a plan
that might yet give the Republic a chance for
victory. Unfortunately, that Jedi is Quinlan Vos-and
his plan may be the final betrayal of all the
Republic forces on Saleucami!
The losses for the Republic-and the Jedi-in the
Clone Wars have been staggering. And few battles
have been as hard fought as the one on Saleucami.
Here, the greatest military threat mounted by the
Separatists has been encountered, the Republic's
greatest heroes have faltered, and the heart,
mind, and motives of Jedi Master Quinlan Vos have
been laid bare.
His secret dealings with Dooku exposed, and the
depth to which he was manipulated revealed, Vos
stands on a knife's edge between the dark side and
redemption!
Occurs during the thirty-sixth month after the
Battle of Geonosis.
