The focus of this graphic novel series shifts to the Galactic Alliance with this volume. The third power in this civil war story has remind on the outskirts of the storyline up until this period. Readers are brought to Mon Calamari, where the Sith Empire is using a giant docking ring around the planet to build its newest Star Destroyer, the Imperious.

The Galactic Alliance is not ready to let a newer, more powerful weapon fall into the hands of the enemy so Admiral Gar Stazi, one of the Alliance's strongest military leaders, is working with the local Mon Calamari to hijack the massive vessel. The Sith, under the leadership of Admiral Valan (a man with a history of runins against Admiral Stazi), are hoping that this tempting opportunity will help them capture Stazi and crush the Alliance.

Readers see events from both sides as the plans of the two opposing sides come head to head. Things become even more complicated with the arrival of two Galactic Knights from the Empire, who had their own secret mission dealing with the Imperious.

There is an additional shorter story at the end of the volume that deals with Darth Wyyrlock, who has gone on a mission in the hopes of finding a solutino to Emperor Darh Krayk's Vong infection. He travels to the planet Prakith, where Darth Andeddu's secret tomb is hidden, in the homes of secret ancient knowledge held by that Sith. Darth Andeddu had figured out a way to transfer his lifeforce and intelligence back into his body after his death. Things prove to not be quite what they seem when Wyyrlock arrived at the planet, and he will be lucky to survive at all ... nevermind with any ancient secrets.

This was another great addition to the series. It really does a wonderful job of bringing forward the Star Wars mythos. The characters are great, and the plot is very thorough and complex, creating a really entertaining and complete experience for the fans.
