Synopsis:
This book collects together the following issues from Tales
of the Jedi: The Sith War comic series:
- Issues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6:
Picking up six months after Dark
Lords of the Sith, Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma
are implementing their insidious plan for
revitalizing the Golden
Age of the Sith. While insinuating his darkside
teachings to Jedi students on the planet Ossus, it
becomes clear that Kun is only concerned with
securing a powerful Sith Holocron from its sealed
repository in the great library of Ossus. Ulic has
devoted himself to developing the darkside military
strategy, the key to which may just be winning the
loyalty of the ferocious warrior race led by a
masked mysteryman named Mandalore.
Ulic Qel-Droma spent years learning to control the
Force. He wanted to be on the side of the good, a
member of the Jedi elite. But it is not the Force
one must control to become a Jedi; rather, one must
learn to control oneself. Ulic Qel-Droma has tasted
power, and now he cannot fight the dark hunger
inside him . . .
Ulic Qel-Droma has fallen victim to the spell of the
dark side, and now he must stand before the Jedi
masters to answer for his crimes. But another from
within the Jedi ranks has taken up his mantle of
evil. Exar Kun is turning his doting apprentices
into Sith-possessed assassins and sending them out
to kill the Jedi masters, and the fate of the entire
Jedi force hangs in the balance!
The deadly Jedi assassination pogrom has begun! It's
Jedi against Jedi as Exar Kun and his young
followers, "the Brotherhood of the Sith,"
have risen up against their former Jedi Masters.
Sorely outnumbered, only a miracle could save them
and a miracle is what they get! The legendary Jedi
knights, Cay, Nomi Sunrider, and Sylvar stand
between the Brotherhood and the Jedi Masters, and
neither side will quit until the other has fallen!
It's Jedi against Jedi, brother against brother, and
blood will spill. Brothers Cay and Ulic Qel-Droma
lead their respective Jedi forces against one
another: Cay with his honorable but unproven
students, Ulic with the ascendant Dark Jedi horde.
As the forces clash on the planet Ossus, the right
to the powerful historical artifacts of the ancient
Jedi await the victor.
The storm clouds of battle gather over Yavin Four,
and that entire world could be a casualty! To make
his final stand against Jedi Nomi Sunrider, the
betrayer Ulic Qel-Droma has let slip the dogs of war
in a final, climactic confrontation.
