Synopsis:
THE GREAT HYPERSPACE WAR
This book collects together the following issues from Tales
of the Jedi: The Golden Age of the Sith comic
series:
- Issues 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5:
Five millennia before Luke Skywalker was born
and 1,000 years before two young Jedi reawakened a
long-dormant evil, the dark power of the Sith held
unquestioning rule over the galaxy. For those black-souled,
corrupt Jedi, it was a golden age. For the rest of
the galaxy, it was a nightmare.
Navigators and explorers are a special breed: they
blaze the paths others will follow. They must have
strength, drive, and hope, and be more than a little
fearless. But nowhere is it written that they must
have luck. Gav and Jori Daragon make their living
charting the routes of hyperspace and selling those
routes to traders and haulers. When a star-swarm
cluster batters their ship, they land on the planet
Cinnagar, destitute and forlorn, and convince the
relatively amiable Aarrba the Hutt to make the
necessary repairs.
Marka Ragnos ruled the galaxy with an iron fist. He
was the Dark Lord of the Sith, the most
powerful of the most powerful. But now he is dead.
And two innocent hyperspace explorers, Gav and Jori
Daragon, may follow suit if they get caught between
the warring factions hoping to fill the Dark Lord
void.
When Gav and Jori Daragon set off to map the
uncharted regions of hyperspace, they knew they were
risking their lives. But they thought it would be an
unsuspected cluster of debris that would take them
out of the game, not their successful discovery of a
series of hyperspace "short cuts." The
Sith Empire wants to know where these routes are,
wants to hold the only map to these routes, so that
it can maintain an iron grip on the galaxy. And the
lives of a couple of explorers mean very little to
these masters of the dark side of the Force.
When Gav and Jori Daragon were first captured by the
evil Sith, they feared for their lives. Now, Jori
fears for her brother's spirit, as would-be
Dark Lord Naga Sadow begins to initiate him into the
ways of the dark side of the Force. Naga Sadow is
playing a deadly game of chess, and the Daragon
siblings are his pawns.
Gav and Jori Daragon knew they could be killed in
their chosen line of work: mapping out uncharted
hyperspace flight paths could easily result in a
deadly meeting with an unexpected meteorite shower
or an unknown world. But it's neither comets nor
planets that threaten them now. Rather, it's their
success that may cost them their lives. They've
successfully mapped a hyperspace shortcut, a
shortcut which could prove strategically imperative
in the event of war. And war is just what Gav and
Jori have found themselves in the middle of. Trapped
between two factions of the Sith, each vying for
control of the galaxy, this sibling duo of
hyperspace pioneers has become a pawn to the dark
side of Sith magic.
