Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from Legacy
comic series:
- Issue 8: Allies
Grand Moff Nyna Calixte supervises intelligence
gathering for the Empire. Darth Maladi does the same
for the Sith. Together they could form an unbeatable
team, able to sway the course of a galaxy. That is,
if they don't destroy one another first!
From the ambush of the Galactic Alliance's fleet to
Roan Fel's narrow escape from assassination, the
true story of the Sith overthrow of the Empire can
at last be told!
- Issue 4: Noob
A galaxy-shaking secret is revealed in the heat
of battle! Old friendships will be strained to the
breaking point, unlikely new alliances will be
formed, and the relentless forces of evil will
pursue their dark ends with even greater vigor and
purpose. In a universe on the brink of either
destruction or salvation, it is the actions of an
unexpected few that will determine the fates of all.
- Issues 9 & 10: Trust
Issues
In the distant Star Wars future, political
relationships are still often delicate constructs --
even more so when the "marriage" is
between two longtime enemies. When rightful Emperor
Roan Fel reaches out to the remnants of the Galactic
Alliance, the stage is set for serious distrust, if
not outright betrayal. And to complicate matters,
the Sith have dispatched one of their best agents to
ensure the failure of the proposed alliance.
But Moff Nyna Calixte's agenda differs from that of
her Sith masters, and she puts her own player into
the mix -- reactivating an agent who has been
dormant for nearly two decades. Meanwhile, the
question on everybody's mind: Where has Cade
Skywalker gone?
Once bitter enemies, Imperials loyal to the deposed
Emperor Roan Fel meet with representatives from the
remnants of the Galactice Alliance to discuss
joining forces against the Sith. However, two spies
have been thrown into the mix, each with different
orders, their determination to complete their
missions putting them on an explosive collision
course. Meanwhile, Cade Skywalker remains missing,
yet still pursued by those bent on ignoring his
desire to be left alone.
Will a new alliance be forged to defeat Darth
Krayt's minions, or will betrayal shatter the
galaxy's last best hope for freedom? Will
Skywalker's refuge be discovered? More importantly,
what will happen to those who find him?
- Issue 13: Ready to Die
Darth Krayt, the ruthless and unwavering Sith
Emperor, knows that to achieve order, sometimes one
must first create chaos.
With the galaxy nearly in his grasp, Krayt tires of
deposed Emperor Roan Fel's opposition of the Sith.
He decrees that this alliance of Imperials loyal to
Fel must be broken. Once scattered, Krayt has little
doubt his weakened opponents will surrender to his
ultimate command. To achieve this end, Krayt has
devised a unique mission for a minion of atypical
loyalty--Darth Kruhl--who is not only willing to
kill, but ready to die.
- Issues 11 & 12: Ghosts
Cade Skywalker takes up a lightsaber once
again--but not for the reason the Jedi had hoped!
In fact, some among the Jedi are becoming suspicious
of Cade and his undisciplined power. Haunted by the
tragedies of his own life and the actions of his
ancestors, Cade's denial of the past could be laying
the seeds for a terrifying future. Amidst the ruins
of his childhood, a decision will lead to a
discovery, bringing Cade that much closer to his
destiny.
Meanwhile, Cade's old allies Deliah Blue and Jariah
Syn face uncertain futures of their own, betrayed
and delivered into the hands of a deadly enemy they
thought they'd left behind. Whether or not they live
to see tomorrow relies on what they know about the
last Skywalker heir--and what they're willing to
reveal!
Beneath the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Ossus lies a
powerful secret that, in the wrong hands, could end
the legacy of the Jedi once and for all!
Now, at the site of his father's death, Cade
Skywalker must decide what he owes the past, and how
it will shape his future. Personal responsibility is
not a well-developed trait in this last heir to the
Skywalker name, and Cade will be forced to look past
his fears, addictions, and painful memories if he is
to take up the mantle that has been offered him.
