Trackdown, Part 1 is the seventy-second issue in the Star Wars: Republic series of comics. It was published on December 29, 2004 by Dark Horse Comics.

Publisher's summaryEdit

Information obtained from the captured renegade Jedi Quinlan Vos could be vitally important to a Republic victory in the Clone Wars—or it could be a setup for a massive ambush. Jedi spy-master Tholme decides to send his best agent, Aayla Secura, to the Outer Rim worlds in hopes of verifying Vos' story.

But if following the information could be dangerous for an entire Republic fleet, how safe can it possibly be for a single Jedi?

Star Wars: Republic begins its sprint toward the climactic events in Episode III. Don't miss it!

Behind the scenesEdit

The name "VIENTO" is printed in Aurebesh on the side of the carbonite slab containing Senator Viento's body. When Aayla Secura is flirting with Gort, a round neon sign behind them contains the Aurebesh text "GYZ", or possibly "WYZ" (the first letter is obscured by Gort). A billboard displaying a picture of Palpatine contains the Aurebesh caption "PALPATINE".
