Five millennia before the birth of Luke Skywalker and the fall of Palpatine ' s Empire , our story unfolds … Plot summary . Odan - Urr was studying Jedi history when his master , Ooroo , sent him to the Koros system to help Empress Teta fight the Unification Wars and unite the seven worlds located in the system . Once he arrived on Cinnagar he helped to conquer the last planet , Kirrek , with a technique he had learned about in his studies , battle meditation . But even with this technique he couldn ' t prevent casualties from occurring ; among them were two blockade runners , Hok and Timar Daragon . With their parents dead , Gav and Jori Daragon got their ship , " Starbreaker 12 " , back from Aarrba the Hutt who was holding it back as collateral . With the ship Gav and Jori had become hyperspace explorers , but their latest route proved less than successful ; they just barely made it through . They made it back to Cinnagar , but their ship was heavily damaged . Aarrba the Hutt agreed to make the repairs , but he wouldn ' t give their ship back until they had paid all the bills . Ssk Kahorr sent one of his drone ships along the route discovered by Gav and Jori , but it was destroyed when it passed too close to Primus Goluud , a red supergiant . Ssk Kahorr wasn ' t pleased with this and sent two bounty hunters after the two hyperspace explorers . But they were saved by two Jedi , Odan - Urr and Memit Nadill . They advised them to leave the Koros system , because it was not safe for them . Gav and Jori stole back the " Starbreaker 12 " and desperately fled the system with random hyperspace coordinates . On Korriban on the far side of the galaxy , a funeral procession was held for Marka Ragnos , a Dark Lord of the Sith . The procession was lead by Ludo Kressh , but just when the tomb is about to be closed , his nemesis arrived , Naga Sadow . A fight about who should be the next Dark Lord ensued between the two rivals , but they were stopped by the ghost of Marka Ragnos , who warned them of what was to come . Meanwhile , back in the Koros system , Odan - Urr had a premonition about the evil Jedi banished centuries ago . He told Empress Teta about his dreams , and she promised that she would raise the matter on Coruscant . Back on Korriban , the " Starbreaker 12 " arrived and Gav and Jori were captured by the Sith forces . On Ziost , the Sith Lords discussed what to do with the prisoners . After a long debate it was decided to have Gav and Jori killed . But Naga Sadow , seeing in these prisoners a chance to expand the Sith Empire , did not give up that easily . He sent one of his Massassi warriors to retrieve the weapons on their ship . He hatched a plan to capture the prisoners for himself and use them to regain contact with the Republic . Together with his most loyal Massassi warriors , he freed the Daragons . But to keep his identity hidden from the other Sith Lords , he had to kill everyone in his path , including his old mentor Simus . He left a Republic blaster behind , to let others think it was an attack by the Republic . Gav and Jori were sent to his stronghold on Khar Shian and Sadow returned to Ziost where an urgent meeting was held between the Sith Lords . The other Sith Lords were indecisive about what to do and in the confusion he claimed to be named the new Dark Lord of the Sith . The other Sith Lords , except Ludo Kressh and his supporters , agreed . Sadow immediately called upon the others to prepare their ships and warriors so they could attack the Republic first . Empress Teta and her two Jedi advisors had arrived at Coruscant , where she addressed the Senate about Odan - Urr ' s premonition , but the people listening did not believe her . Even without the help of the Republic , Teta decided to prepare her own forces . In Naga Sadow ' s hidden fortress on the dark side of Khar Shian , Gav Daragon was trained in the ways of the Sith by Naga Sadow . Naga Sadow sent his Massassi warriors to retrieve the " Starbreaker 12 " from Ziost and then traveled to his decoy fortress on Khar Delba , where Jori Daragon was held . On Ziost , Sadow ' s loyal Massassi stole the " Starbreaker 12 " , but not without leaving evidence of their Master ' s involvement . Ludo Kressh discoved this evidence , and together with his supporters , Horak - mul and Dor Gal - ram , he prepared to attack Sadow ' s fortress on Khar Delba . Meanwhile the " Starbreaker 12 " arrived there . Ludo Kressh ' forces had arrived at Khar Delba and had opened fire at Sadow ' s apparently defenseless fortress . Naga Sadow convinced Jori Daragon that she must return to the Republic before the fortress is destroyed . Reluctant to leave her brother behind she agreed . After the " Starbreaker 12 " had escaped to hyperspace , Sadow called in his fleet that he had hidden on the dark side of Khar Shian . But that was not all ; Massassi warriors on the ships of Horak - mul and Dol Gal - ram killed the Sith Lords and directed their fire on the ships of Ludo Kressh , who had no choice but to retreat . After this victory , Naga Sadow prepared his forces to invade the Republic , using the tracing beacon hidden on the " Starbreaker 12 " .
