Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi - The Fall of the Sith Empire #3
Synopsis
After escaping from Naga Sadow and the Sith Empire, Jori Daragon arrives back in the Republic, broadcasting her warnings. But no one will believe her, not her old friend Aarrba the Hutt, and not the judge. She loses possession of ''Starbreaker 12'' to the greedy, reptilian merchant lord Ssk Kahorr, and she is sent off to a harsh colony world to serve her penal sentence.... Jori wastes no time escaping from the planet, though. She MUST deliver her warning to Empress Teta, no matter what. She succeeds in stealing an ore hauler, flies back to Cinnagar, and ejects to safety as her stolen ship is shot down. Jori makes her way through the city streets, boldly climbs the exterior of Empress Teta’s palace, and breaks inside. Meanwhile, her brother Gav is still stinging from Naga Sadow’s tricks. The Dark Lord reminds Gav of his downtrodden life in the Republic, and how it will be different under Sith rule. Sadow’s fleet takes shape from the scattered planets of other Sith Lords: vast ships, huge battle beasts, heavy weaponry. Sadow will direct battle from his sinister meditation sphere. Still tempting his protégé Gav, Sadow gives him military command of the fleet. Reeling with uncertainty about attacking his home, and wishing Jori could be with him, Gav takes the helm. The Sith war fleet launches toward the Republic, following the beacon hidden inside ''Starbreaker 12''.... In her palace, Empress Teta meets with her Jedi advisors Memit Nadill, Odan-Urr, and his ancient Master Ooroo. Ooroo has arrived because he, too, senses the dark undercurrents, frightening visions that suggest a terrible impending war...even though the officials on Coruscant will not heed the warnings. Suddenly, Jori drops from the balcony, breathless, shouting her story before the guards can silence her. Empress Teta hears enough, though, to know this is confirmation of their greatest fears. Jori nearly collapses with relief when the Empress and her Jedi summon their defensive fleet and prepare for battle. But it may already be too late, because Naga Sadow is on his way....
