Synopsis:
This book collects together the following issues from the
Jedi Academy: Leviathon series by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issue 1:
In the eight years since the fall of the Empire, Luke Skywalker
has trained a new group of Jedi Knights, among them the warrior
woman Kirana Ti, the sky-hermit Streen, the scholar and
lore-master Tionne, and his greatest student, the brash Kyp
Durron. Once trained, a Jedi must go where he is needed, to
defend the New Republic and use the light side of the Force to
help those in need.
On Coruscant, Chief of State Leia Organa Solo receives a
desperate message from miners on the harsh world of Corbos. They
have awakened something in their excavations and have come under
attack. Luke sends Kyp Durron and the young clone Dorsk 82 to
investigate and offer whatever assistance they can. But when Kyp
and Dorsk 82 arrive on storm-swept Corbos, they find only an
empty mining colony . . . and the scene of a terrible disaster.
- Issue 2:
After receiving a distress call, Kyp Durron and Dorsk 82 come to
Corbos -- only to find they are too late. The colony is
destroyed leaving only evidence of a slaughter . . . and a
monster. Kyp slips away at night to track down the hideous
beast. When Dorsk 82 awakens to find him gone, he immediately
summons help, but before they can arrive, Kyp, alone, finds the
monster . . .
- Issue 3:
Kyp Durron arrives on the mining world of Corbos only to
find the entire colony destroyed. There are no signs of life but
Kyp can still hear the psychic outcries of the colonists. He is
drawn toward the leviathan of Corbos, a beast that he finds has
devoured the colonists -- and yet trapped their minds and
spirits. And it's up to Kyp to defeat the leviathan on his own.
. .
- Issue 4:
Kyp Durron thought he had destroyed the leviathan that laid
waste to the mining colony of Corbos. But he was wrong. He
killed its offspring and now the mother of the leviathan is
looking to take revenge on the Jedi. Now Kyp and the rest of the
Jedi Academy must face threat even larger than they had first
imagined.
