But even with this technique he cannot prevent casualties from occurring ; among them are two blockade runners , Hok and Timar Daragon . With their parents dead , Gav and Jori Daragon get their ship , " Starbreaker 12 " , back from Aarrba the Hutt who was holding it back as collateral . With the ship Gav and Jori have become hyperspace explorers , but their latest route proves less then successful ; they just barely make it through . They make it back to Cinnagar , but their ship is heavily damaged . Aarrba the Hutt agrees to make the repairs , but he won ' t give their ship back until they have paid all the bills . Ssk Kahorr sends one of his drone ships along the route discovered by Gav and Jori , but it is destroyed when it passes to close to Primus Goluud , a red supergiant .

The procession is lead by Ludo Kressh , but just when the tomb is about to be closed , his nemesis arrives , Naga Sadow . A fight about who should be the next Dark Lord ensues between the two rivals , but they are stopped by the ghost of Marka Ragnos , who warns them of what is to come . Meanwhile , back in the Koros system , Odan - Urr has a premonition about the evil Jedi banished centuries ago . He tells Empress Teta about his dreams , and she promises that she will raise the matter on Coruscant . Back on Korriban , the " Starbreaker 12 " arrives and Gav and Jori are captured by the Sith forces . On Ziost , the Sith Lords discuss what to do with the prisoners . After a long debate it is decided to have Gav and Jori killed . But Naga Sadow , seeing in these prisoners a chance to expand the Sith Empire , does not give up this easily . He sends one of his Massassi warriors to retrieve the weapons on their ship . He hatches 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 frees the Daragons . But to keep his identity hidden from the other Sith Lords , he has to kill everyone in his path , including his old mentor Simus . He leaves a Republic blaster behind , to let others think it was an attack by the Republic . Gav and Jori are sent to his stronghold on Khar Shian and Sadow returns to Ziost where an urgent meeting is held between the Sith Lords . The other Sith Lords are indecisive about what to do and in the confusion he claims to be named the new Dark Lord of the Sith . The other Sith Lords , except Ludo Kressh and his supporters , agree . Sadow immediately calls upon the others to prepare their ships and warriors so they can attack the Republic first . Empress Teta and her two Jedi advisors have arrived at Coruscant , where she addresses the Senate about Odan - Urr ' s premonition , but the people listening do not believe her . Even without the help of the Republic , Teta decides to prepare her own forces .

Naga Sadow sends his Massassi warriors to retrieve the " Starbreaker 12 " from Ziost and then travels to his decoy fortress on Khar Delba , where Jori Daragon is held . On Ziost , Sadow ' s loyal Massassi steal the " Starbreaker 12 " , but not without leaving evidence of their Master ' s involvement . Ludo Kressh discovers this evidence , and together with his supporters , Horak - mul and Dor Gal - ram , he prepares to attack Sadow ' s fortress on Khar Delba . Meanwhile the " Starbreaker 12 " arrives there . Ludo Kressh ' s forces have arrived at Khar Delba and have opened fire at Sadow ' s apparently defenseless fortress . Naga Sadow convinces Jori Daragon that she must return to the Republic before the fortress is destroyed . Reluctant to leave her brother behind she agrees . After the " Starbreaker 12 " has escaped to hyperspace , Sadow calls in his fleet that he had hidden on the dark side of Khar Shian . But that is not all ; Massassi warriors on the ships of Horak - mul and Dol Gal - ram kill the Sith Lords and direct their fire on the ships of Ludo Kressh , who has no choice but to retreat .
