Tales of the Jedi – The Fall of the Sith Empire 1 is the first issue of the Star Wars Legends comic book miniseries Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi — The Fall of the Sith Empire. It was written by Kevin J. Anderson, illustrated by Dario Carrasco, Jr., and published on June 18, 1997 by Dark Horse Comics.

The issue features the story "Desperate Measures," in which the Sith begin their conquest of the Republic.

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.
