SUMMARY:

Gav and Jori Daragon, brother and sister explorers risking everything to discover safe, new, economical paths through hyperspace, awaken Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow's desire to conquer the Republic and expand Sith territory and wealth.
"Navigators and explorers are a special breed—they blaze the paths others will follow. They must have strength, drive, and hope, and be more than a little fearless. But nowhere is it written that they must have luck. Gav and Jori Daragon make their living charting the routes of hyperspace and selling those routes to traders and haulers. When a starswarm cluster batters their ship, they land on the planet Cinnagar, destitute and forlorn, and convince the relatively stable Aarrba the Hutt to make the necessary repairs. A long, long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, life wasn't always kind to the honest and the upstanding. This was a period ruled by evil and malice. This was The Golden Age of the Sith." (From Previews, Vol. VI, No. 8, August 1996)
"The history of the Old Republic has become legend: how the bold explorations of young Gav and Jori Daragon brought two galactic empires crashing together, how Odan-Urr became a powerful Jedi, and how the seven worlds of the Koros system were finally united by the wise and skilled Empress Teta. Five millennia before the birth of Luke Skywalker and the fall of Palpatine's Empire, our story unfolds ..."

SUMMARY:

Gav and Jori Daragon, unwitting pawns in Naga Sadow's plans to take over the Galactic Republic, attempt to thwart the Sith Empire's invasion with the help of Empress Teta and the Jedi Knights.
"Together, Gav and Jori Daragon played the high-stakes game of hyperspace exploring hoping to find their fortunes. Now, seperated, they're fighting for a lot more, including their lives and the future of the Republic. After leaving Gav behind in Naga Sadow's clutches, Jori pilots the Starbreaker 12 back to Koros Major. Upon arrival, she stumbles headlong into her own tarnished reputation. Since Jori's on trial for her offenses, no one heeds her warnings of impending Sith attack. Btu what Jori doesn't know is that she led the Sith directly to Empress Teta, via a secret transmitter Sadow planted on the Starbreaker 12. With the Sith on their way, and Jori facing a guilty verdict, nothing stands between the Empress and the Sith—not even a battle pitting brother against sister." (From the back of the graphic novel Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi—The Fall of the Sith Empire)
"The Sith Empire has rallied its forces for an all-out battle for control of the galaxy. Their goal: Crush the Republic. And with so many Sith masters amongst them, the goal is not unachievable. As Naga Sadow readies his fleet to attack, one lone person threatens to undermine the entire campaign—Jori Daragon. She isn't a Jedi. She doesn't come from a military background or have a history of fighting. She's an explorer, a mapper of hyperspace who stumbled on the plans of the Sith. And she just may be the savior of the Republic. Star Wars novelist Kevin J. Anderson continues the adventures of a time before the Clone Wars, before the Death Star, and before the rise of the Empire." (From Previews, Vol. VII, No. 4, April 1997)

" 'This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight ... Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized time. For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the most powerful, most respected force in the galaxy ... The guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic.' With those words, Obi-Wan Kenobi hinted at a grand legend, the era of the Jedi Knights. Travel with us now to those majestic times, 4,000 years before the birth of Luke Skywalker. Witness the deadly trials that face young Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma, and the tragedy that will turn Nomi Sunrider into one of the greatest Jedi of her time!"

SUMMARY:

On the planet Onderon, Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider battle the dark spirit of Freedon Nadd.
"These are the recondite histories of the ancient order of Jedi Knights, as recorded in the crystalline recesses of the Jedi Holocron. The period four thousand years before the birth of Luke Skywalker marked a turning point in the history of the Galactic Republic. During that time, two young Jedi became respected throughout the galaxy for their heroic exploits in great battles with the dark side of the Force. Their names were Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider. We take up an early chapter in their saga on the planet Onderon, a world long-divided into warring tribes. Following the death of Queen Amanoa of Iziz, her daughter Galia has ascended to the throne, sharing power with her husband, the Beast-Lord Oron Kira. For a time it seemed that Jedi Master Arca and his three apprentices (Ulic, his brother Cay Qel-Droma, and Tott Doneeta) had succeeded in bringing peace to divided Onderon. But many Onderonians still worship the memory of Freedon Nadd, a dark Jedi who ruled the planet centuries earlier. Joining with mutinous officers of Onderon's royal military, the Naddists are staging violent protests inside the great walled city of Iziz. Queen Galia's new government is already on the verge of collapse ..." (From the crawl text of Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi—The Freedon Nadd Uprising #1)

SUMMARY:

Jedi Knight Exar Kun becomes a Dark Lord of the Sith; Ulic-Qel Droma, hoping to infiltrate and destroy the Krath, attempts to learn and use the secrets of the dark side of the Force against them.
"For a thousand generations young Jedi Knights have dedicated their lives to preserving harmony and justice throughout the Galactic Republic. Four millennia before the birth of Luke Skywalker, the brothers Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma were two who took up the Jedi way. Together with the Twi'lek Tott Doneeta they apprenticed to the wise Jedi Master Arca of Arkania. Another student of the Force was Nomi Sunrider, who chose to become a Jedi Knight after the tragic death of her Jedi husband, Andur. Nomi and her daughter Vima were taught by the great beast-Jedi, Master Thon of Ambria. These renowned Jedi, and others equally as valiant, became enmeshed in dramatic and harrowing events surrounding the reappearance of the dark teachings of the Sith, an ancient race of magicians long thought extinct. Four hundred years before Arca and Thon, a dark Jedi named Freedon Nadd introduced the suppressed Sith teachings to the planet Onderon. Nadd's dark-side powers took hold on the isolated world, and flourished unchecked until Master Arca brought together a band of Jedi to root them out. Now Freedon Nadd's living spirit has managed to confound the great old Jedi. On Onderon, under Arca's very nose, Nadd has instructed two young aristocrats, Satal Keto and Aleema, heirs to the throne of the Empress Teta System. Satal and Aleema have returned to their homeworld as powerful initiates of the Sith way. Elsewhere, other events are unfolding that will affect the galaxy: On the planet Dantooine, a proud Jedi named Exar Kun steals his Master's holocron, curious to learn more about the legendary fallen Jedi Knights who were known as Dark Lords of the Sith. The Holocron speaks ..." (From the crawl text of Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi—Dark Lords of the Sith #1)

SUMMARY:

Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun and his new apprentice, Ulic Qel-Droma, spearhead an effort to destroy the joint forces of the Jedi Knights & the Republic in order to usher in a second Golden Age of the Sith.
"It has been six months since the former enemies Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma have joined forces, forced into a common goal by hypnotic visions of a reborn Golden Age of the Sith. Through his dabbling in forbidden teachings, Exar Kun has fallen completely under the spell of the ancient Sith ways, and he knows he must gain additional disciples to fan the flames of his planned victory. Meanwhile, in the iron-walled city of Cinnagar in the Empress Teta System, Ulic Qel-Droma has stumbled down the dark path—driven by a distorted need to avenge the murder of his beloved Master Arca, poisoned by dark Sith toxins, and seduced and manipulated by his wily lover Aleema. He has allied himself with Exar Kun to bring about a new Golden Age, following the dream-images that fog his mind. His mission is to gather an army awesome enough to take on even the mighty Galactic Republic. But as their plans proceed, far from the watchful eyes of the loyal Jedi Knights, other vicious crusaders turn their attentions to what may seem to be easy pickings while Ulic is preoccupied ..."

SUMMARY:

A teenage Vima Sunrider seeks out Ulic Qel-Droma, whose Jedi powers had been taken away by Vima's mother, Nomi Sunrider, ten years before, in an attempt to redeem him and re-establish his knighthood and Jedi powers.
"The time is ten years after the devastating Sith War, which turned Jedi against Jedi and wreaked great destruction of the Republic. Exar Kun, the self-proclaimed Dark Lord of the Sith, has been destroyed in his Massassi temples on the jungle moon of Yavin. His chief lieutenant, Ulic Qel-Droma, was stripped of this powers—blinded to the Force—by Nomi Sunrider, after he killed his own brother Cay. Since that time, Ulic has isolated himself, wandering powerless and trying to hide from his past. He is a Jedi, and yet no longer a Jedi. ... Meanwhile, Nomi Sunrider, now a charasmatic leader in the Republic and a spokesperson for the Jedi Knights, has called a great convocation, the first in a decade. She summons all the Jedi to Exis Station, an isolated space city which is the new home for many of the artifacts rescued from the destruction of Ossus. But galactic politics have no further meaning for Ulic. Keeping his own identity secret, Ulic has commissioned Hoggon, a down-on-his-luck spacer, to take him to a quiet place where he can live out the rest of his days. He wishes only to hide from the Republic, become a hermit, and hope history will forget what he has done. Hoggon ferries him to the isolated moon of Yavin 4, without knowing Ulic's own connection to the place. ..." (From the crawl text of Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi—Redemption #1)
