Also published as Comic Book series
Synopsis:
This book collects together the following issues from Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith comic series:
  • Issues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6:
    In the remote reaches of the universe, an ancient and deadly power has been reawakened by a foolish and arrogant young Jedi. He will begin a quest to become a Dark Lord of the Sith, and every galaxy will be threatened by his power.
    With the power of the dark side of the Force aiding them, Satal and Aleema, two wealthy young aristocrats, boldly begin annexing the galaxy! Alerted to this deadly threat to peace, the Jedi begin planning a defence... but will they be too late? Against this backdrop of interstellar war, Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider, two novice Jedi Knights, find that in the heat of war, there can be flames of passion!
    The Krath attack! During a seemingly peaceful meeting of the Jedi Knights, a deadly blow is struck for the dark side of the Force! The first casualties of this struggle between dark and light galvanize Ulic toward a rash decision that may cost him his life.
    In search of ancient Sith magic, the Jedi Exar Kun travels to a place of mysterious, mystical power: a power so dark, so evil, that his very link to the light side of the Force is shattered. Jedi powers can't help him here. Only the dark side of the Force can save him, even as it consumes him!
    The Krath are tearing through the galaxy, laying claim to any inhabitable planets they come across, and they're crushing anyone who stands in their way! But Ulic Qel-Droma isn't just anyone; he's a Jedi, perhaps the greatest of his time. Ulic poses as a fallen Jedi turned smuggler in an effort to infiltrate the Krath, figuring the best way to stop their tour of terror is from the inside.
    The two renegade Jedi, Ulic Qel-Droma and Exar Kun, clash in mortal combat. One will be awarded the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, the most feared and powerful force in the galaxy; the other may be awarded a shallow grave. The fate of the entire universe rests on the outcome!
