BETRAYAL ON MERSON
As the fires of
revolution sweep across the galaxy, it’s
impossible to gauge the number of personal tragedies
caused by the Clone Wars. But some tragedies are
more calculated than others, and when they result in
the deaths of a Jedi Master and his Padawan, they
deserve a closer look.
Jedi Ronhar Kim strikes up a friendship with a
rising politician, never dreaming that, years later,
the relationship will make him the target of one of
the greatest evils the galaxy has ever seen!
Occurs during the seventeenth month after the
Battle of Geonosis.

Hate and Fear
ESCAPE FROM RATTATAK
Obi-Wan Kenobi is alive,
but maybe not for long. He and Alpha, the ARC
Trooper, are prisoners in the castle of the Dark
Jedi Asajj Ventress. Not knowing how the Republic
forces on Jabiim are faring, or even if Anakin is
still alive, Obi-Wan and Alpha make a bid for
freedom. But their only chance lies in General
Kenobi temporarily casting off his Jedi training and
fighting Ventress with the same ruthlessness that
she herself brings to the battle!
Occurs during the sixteenth month after the
Battle of Geonosis.
-
No Man's Land
ESCAPE FROM RATTATAK
Escaping from Ventress
Asajj's fortress, Obi-Wan Kenobi and the clone
trooper Alpha are pursued by Separatists and bounty
hunters. Crash landing on a desolate planet, they
are soon cornered. The bounty hunters give Alpha a
choice: walk away from the fight, or die with his
Jedi companion. Will Alpha's "live to fight
another day" training win out? Or can the Force
reveal another way to survive the ordeal before time
runs out?
Occurs during the sixteenth month after the
Battle of Geonosis.

The Best
Blades
DIPLOMACY ON THUSTRA
He is arguably the most
respected Jedi Master of all time, but even the
great Yoda cannot predict or control the outcome of
every situation. As the violence of the Clone Wars
spreads across the galaxy, Yoda is called upon to
lead a clone army against the forces of a king who
befriended him two hundred years before. Seeking a
peaceful resolution by following the Force, Yoda is
hampered by suicidal enemy soldiers, hot-headed
young Jedi, single-minded Clone Commanders, and by
the unwavering beliefs held by his one-time friend.
It’s the diminutive Jedi’s most dangerous
mission yet, where a single wrong move could change
the course of the war!
When you live for centuries, you come to develop
long friendships. Two hundred years ago, Yoda
befriended the king of a world. Now, that king has
sided with the Separatists, and it's Yoda's mission
to lead a clone army to bring that world back to the
Republic fold. The diminutive Jedi Master must face
suicidal enemy soldiers, hotheaded young Jedi,
single-minded clone commanders and more as he seeks
a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Occurs during the seventeenth month after the
Battle of Geonosis.
