Synopsis:
The ruthless cunning of the Sith Order has served the
shipwrecked crew of the Omen well on the alien
planet Kesh. Subjugating the superstitious Keshiri race
by posing as its fabled overlords has ensured the Sith's
survival -- while they struggle in secret to return to
the stars. But after fifteen years on their adopted
world, some among the lost tribe have grown restless and
fearful that assimilation will consume their Sith
heritage. Now, as rival factions begin to appear, a
shocking disaster throws into doubt the Sith's future on
Kesh.
In the distant city of Tetsubal, the entire native
populace is suddenly wiped out by a grisly plague of
unknown origin. With terrifying speed, more cities
succumb to the mysterious contagion. Only the Sith
remain unharmed -- so far. And as Sith commander Yaru
Korsin grapples with the looming loss of the paradise he
rules and the race his people have come to depend upon,
he must confront the dark possibility that the
catastrophe may not be cruel fate but insidious
sabotage.
