During the time of the Republic, the Jedi Council guided the Jedi Knights as they upheld their values of peace and justice throughout the galaxy -- and the Sith waited in hiding for the right time to reveal their existence and take revenge.... Collected in this massive Star Wars Omnibus are tales of that time, shortly before The Phantom Menace: early missions of Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi; missions full of foreshadowing and increasing danger for noble member of the Jedi Council Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi; the Anzati-linked origin of Jedi-assassination specialist and bounty hunter Aurra Sing; and, last, Sith apprentice Darth Maul's own mission to clear the criminal system of any adversaries who could potentially hamper the rise and return of the Sith!
