[edit] Summary
After years of waiting in the shadows, Darth Sidious is taking the first step in his master plan to bring the Galactic Republic to its knees. He meets secretly with his Neimoidian contacts in the Trade Federation to plan the blockade of the planet Naboo. But one member of the delegation is missing, and Sidious does not need his Force-honed instincts to suspect betrayal. He orders his apprentice, Darth Maul, to hunt the traitor, Hath Monchar down. However, when Darth Maul managed to kill the Neimoidian on Coruscant, the information about the Sith Holocron containing information on the Naboo Blockade had reached the ears of an information broker, Lorn Pavan. Following his master's orders, he immediately sets out to kill Lorn and his robot, I-Five. While saving himself from the Sith Lord, he meets up with Darsha Assant, a Jedi Padawan who was on her mission to earn her Knighthood. Together, they must try to save both the Republic and themselves from the Sith, who is hot on their trail.
