Synopsis:
This book collects together the following issues from Knights of the Old Republic comic series:
  • Issues 19, 20 & 21: Daze of Hate
    Lord Adasca, head of the massive corporation Adascorp, has set in motion a series of events that will change the face of the war between the Republic and the Mandalorians. He has arranged a meeting aboard his flagship the Arkanian Legacy, and as each invitee arrives, the nature of his game and its stakes for the galaxy are revealed.
    Elsewhere on the ship, the elderly Camper and his young protector Jarael remained separated, each growing more concerned about the fate of the other. What are Lord Adasca's plans for them? If only their friend, fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick, would show up to work some of his Jedi magic!
    Sinister billionaire Lord Adasca is the organizer of this fateful rendezvous, a mastermind with grand plans for his race, the Arkanians, and his corporation, Adascorp. What Adasca hasn't counted on is the feisty Jarael, her elderly companion Camper, or their fugitive Padawan friend Zayne Carrick trying to stop these megalomaniacal machinations despite impossible odds. Of course, as soon as the three figure out how to escape Adasca's custody without getting blasted by a dozen HK-24 assassin droids, that's exactly what they're gonna do!
    Aboard his massive flagship the Arkanian Legacy, Lord Adasca believes his plan to become nothing less than the most powerful being in the galaxy is about achieve fruition. If he is to be stopped, fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick must risk it all with a quickly conceived and untested scheme that requires help from none other than his arch-nemesis and former teacher--Jedi Master Lucien! Yet as these two former enemies spring into action amidst Adasca's carefully controlled meeting of the Republic and the Mandalorians, another plot is set into motion--one that will seal the fate of several major players forever!
  • Issue 22, 23 & 24: Knights of Suffering
    Deep in the lower city of Taris, swoop bike gangs battle Mandalorian troops in the streets. An organized resistance to the invasion was taking shape thanks to an old friend of Zayne’s, but something went terribly wrong.
    Fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick left Taris vowing to catch his murderous Masters before they caught him. Now, he's returned--only to find the planet under siege by Mandalorian invaders. And there's someone else waiting for him--who's about to turn the tables on all his plans!
    Nearly alone in a war zone, Zayne is surrounded by enemies. Some want him brought to justice. Others want the bounty on his head. And the Mandalorians just want the whole planet! And when even friends become enemies, he finds himself at the mercy of someone who has no mercy--one of his former Masters!
    Zayne Carrick’s murderous masters have hunted him halfway across the galaxy. Now, his run ends with him cornered in the very place where it began: in the Jedi Temple of Taris, the current headquarters of invading Mandalorian leader Cassus Fett!
    Zayne’s escaped before, with help from his friends and the Force, but not this time! His only choice is to fight for his life, in mortal combat with his far more talented teacher!
