Synopsis:
-
Act I: Treaty
of Coruscant
The Sith Empire has scored a series of solid
military victories over the Republic, winning
control of several critical star systems and
seriously damaging the Republic’s logistical
supply lines. Overwhelmed but stoic, the Jedi and
the Republic Military have succeeded in defending
the core worlds and have slowed the Empire’s
steady advances. In a surprising turn of events, the
Empire has now extended an offer of peace to the
Galactic Senate. Wary but desperate, the Republic
has agreed to engage in ceasefire talks. A large
delegation of prominent Senate and the best and
brightest of the Jedi are travelling to the planet
Alderaan, where they expect to hunker down for
lengthy negotiations on the terms of a treaty with a
representative from the Sith Dark Council.
War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith
Empire has gripped the galaxy for decades, but the
sacking of Coruscant and a subsequent peace treaty
are changing everything. As the Republic scrambles
to re-establish order, the Sith Empire moves quickly
to consolidate power within its new dominion. Behind
closed doors, however, individual Sith Lords engage
in a quiet but deadly power struggle, and discord
breaks out among the Jedi as they wrestle with the
moral implications of the new galactic balance.
During these chaotic days, the stories of several
critical characters interweave as they pursue their
passions, stand up for their convictions, and
ultimately lead the galaxy back to the brink of a
catastrophic conflict.

Act 2: New
Galactic Order
The Sith Empire’s deception left Coruscant in
ruins and forced the Republic to agree to
unfavorable terms in the Treaty of Coruscant.
Despite their disappointment, Senate and Jedi
leaders are under no delusions — the treaty is
critical for the Republic’s survival. To ensure a
prompt and orderly withdrawal from star systems
ceded to the Empire, the Jedi Council has sent its
best and brightest to the Outer Rim on board the
diplomatic ship, Envoy. Unfortunately, the mission
turned into a disaster when a battle inexplicably
broke out between the Envoy and an Imperial
transport ship en route to Korriban. In the
aftermath of the battle, the Envoy has been
destroyed, and young Jedi Satele Shan is marooned on
an escape pod in an obscure star system...
-
Act 3:
Uncertain Surrender
Despite the efforts of the Jedi, a rash of recent
violence threatens to overturn the Treaty of
Coruscant. After the destruction of the Envoy
diplomatic ship, the killing of Jedi Grand Master
Zym, and the bombing of the Senate Tower, many
Republic leaders are calling for a return to war
with the Empire. At the same time, Republic military
officials in the Outer Rim continue to ignore the
treaty and resist withdrawal orders from the Senate.
On Korriban, the prospects for peace are in similar
jeopardy. The attempted assassination of Lord Baras
and the bombing of an Imperial transport have made
Sith Leaders suspicious of one another’s true
motives. Fortunately, there is still hope. Republic
leaders have identified the infamous Bounty Hunter
Braden as the chief suspect in the recent attacks,
and the Senate has dispatched Jedi Master Orgus Din
to track the Bounty Hunter down...

Review
by Darth Kondorr, Poland, 2017
The comics and books of The Old Republic era are a perfect vision of
duality, which is often explored throughout the lore of the galaxy
far, far away. But this is not a pro in this case. As much as I
loved the first two books, Revan and
Deceived, I hate the first two comics as
much. While the first one was simply bad, this one is even worse,
because there was a good story at the heart of this abysmal
abomination of wasted time, but the horrific art and the highly
incompetent writing doomed this to be one of the worst pieces of
so-called art I have had ever the "pleasure" of reading. To
ilustrate how truly bad this thing is, imagine, that actually there
is an apendix to this comic, which practically explaines and retells
what happened in the chaotic and mostly incomprehensible panels of
this book. To be honest, I would have major problems to understand
what this is about, if not for the fact that I played through 3
stories of the MMO and read two of the highly enjoyable books.
Stay clear of this... if you get this for free I would actually have
you consider burning your copy...
