The Galactic Republic is crumbling! The dastardly Separatists, led by the mysterious Sith Lord Dooku, take control of system after system as more split off into new sovereign planets. The beleaguered senators consider opening peace negotiations. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere.
Meanwhile, millions watch in fear as a faceless clone army trades fire with a ruthless horde of droids. It is a war without mercy, known on the face of every world, from the sheltered core systems to the the far outer reaches.
In a display of might, Dooku's personal flagship has appeared above the Republic Capital of Coruscant, heralded by terrorist attacks on the planet that led to the kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine. The leader of the Senate is now aboard Dooku's ship.
As the Republic fleet gathers to turn this massacre into a stalemate, two Jedi Knights lead a daring rescue mission to recover the captive Chancellor!
