Marked for death, Jedi master K'Kruhk must protect the younglings under his care, as master Dass Jennir finds refuge with a crew of smugglers. But to survive, will they abandon their heroic ideals? Meanwhile, the relentless Vader must rescue an officer's son and defend the Emperor from an uprising — by any means necessary! Witness the beginnings of the Galactic Empire!
