Meanwhile, the crimelord responsible for her husband's death -- Bogga the Hutt -- plots to steal Nomi's Adegan Crystals -- the precious gems used in creating lightsabers, and the final gift of her departed mate! 32 pages, FC.

Colorist: Rachelle Menashe. This issue kicks off the thrill-a-minute follow-up to the best-selling Dark Lords of the Sith saga. Picking up six months after our story left off, Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma are implementing their insidious plan for revitalizing the Golden Age of the Sith. While insinuating his darkside teachings to Jedi students on the planet Ossus, it becomes clear that Kun is only concerned with securing a powerful Sith Holocron from its sealed repository in the great library of Ossus. Ulic has devoted himself to developing the darkside military strategy -- the key to which may just be winning the loyalty of the ferocious warrior race led by a masked mysteryman named Mandalore.
