Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from Legacy comic series:
  • Issues 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19:
    Cade Skywalker has done some bad things in his life, but possibly none worse than turning over a captive Jedi, Master Hosk, to the Sith. Now he has come to Coruscant to atone for his sins, and hopefully set Hosk free. But Hosk isn't the only one Cade has crossed, and a chance run-in with a couple of old "friends" may send him on a new path. Take note! This issue begins a story that will reveal the secret behind Legacy's most mysterious character, the self-proclaimed emperor of the Sith Empire, Darth Krayt!
    In a reckless bid to right one of his many past wrongs, Cade Skywalker has become a prisoner of the Sith. It's a banner day for Emperor Darth Krayt, who hopes that Skywalker's abilities will complete Krayt's longtime quest to restore his own power.
    But the other Sith are less certain of their Master's motives. And there are others within the Empire who would rather see Cade dead than a pawn of the Emperor.
    And Cade himself is none too happy about his situation. But what can he do? He turned his back on every friend who might come to his aid. He's made bad choices, and now he has to live--or die--with them!
    Much has been told about the legacy of the Skywalker family, but until now little has been said of the legacy of Obi-Wan Kenobi! If you think you know the whole story, prepare yourself for a shock. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan fought a lonely battle: the outcome of which rocks the future of the Star Wars galaxy!
    In the heart of the Sith Temple on Coruscant, an unexpected acolyte trains in the ways of the Sith. Captured by Darth Krayt, Cade Skywalker has made an unholy bargain with the usurper Emperor. Is Cade following in the footsteps of Vader?
    Hoping to free their friend Cade Skywalker from the clutches of the Sith, Deliah Blue and Jeriah Syn receive help from a surprising source. And Cade, who was captured by the Sith while trying to free Jedi Hosk Tre'Lyis, discovers that Hosk has found his own path to freedom, via the Force.
    Cade stands face-to-face with the Emperor of the galaxy and leader of the Sith legions, Darth Krayt. Has the last Skywalker reached the point of no return on the path to darkness? Meanwhile, Deliah Blue and Jariah Syn execute a rescue plan for Cade that revolves around a single, significant word: “Boom."
