Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi - The Golden Age of the Sith

Fleeing from bad decisions in the Empress Teta system, young hyperspace explorers Gav and Jori Daragon fly off into the unknown. Their ship, Starbreaker 12, chooses a random course – a fateful route that takes them to the fabled Sith Empire, where they are captured and held prisoner.

Unknowingly, Gav and Jori have landed in the middle of a bitter power struggle between two of the greatest Sith Lords – Naga Sadow and Ludo Kressh. In the Sith council chambers, the Lords argue over what is to be done with the captives. Kressh fears that the Starbreaker 12 is the precursor to an invasion, while Sadow sees the two trespassers as keys to a new section of the galaxy ripe for Sith conquest. He feels that if he can unite the squabbling factions against a common enemy, a common goal, then the Sith Empire can rise to new heights of glory.

Gav and Jori wait in their cell, sentenced to be executed, despairing . . . not realizing that they have become pawns of a Sith Lord. With his fierce and loyal Massassi warriors, Naga Sadow secretly steals strange Republic weaponry from the impounded Starbreaker 12 and stages a commando raid to free the prisoners, killing a prominent Sith Lord in the process. Sadow whisks Gav and Jori off to his private fortress on the moon of Kar Shian . . .

The Sith Lords are thrown into an uproar, seeing the weapons, the evidence, and assuming they have been attacked by Republic forces. In their turmoil, they turn to Naga Sadow for leadership. Outraged, Ludo Kressh storms off – but Sadow has achieved his greatest desire: he is chosen as the next Dark Lord of the Sith . . .
