After Jedi Knight Exar Kun, in a test of his lightsaber skills, cruelly defeats his Master Vodo Baas, he abandons his teacher and begins a search for the remnants of the ancient Sith race and their Jedi rulers, the Dark Lords of the Sith.
Elsewhere, in the Empress Teta system, Satal Keto and his cousin Aleema lead a planetary attack on Koros Major, the last Tetan planet to resist the Krath dictatorship.
Jedi and Republic joint forces, led by Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider, arrive over Koros Major to deal with the Tetan situation. Sorceress Aleema attempts to terrify the joint forces with Sith illusions, and Satal Keto launches suicidal Chaos attack ships against the Jedi/Republic fleet.
Nomi Sunrider sees through Aleema’s magic – but when one of the chaos fighters plows into the bridge of the Jedi/Republic command ship, Ulic Qel-Droma is seriously hurt.
Meanwhile, on the planet Onderon, Exar Kun finds two followers of Freedon Nadd who guide him to a mausoleum on the Dxun moon. There, the spirit of Freedon Nadd himself appears to Kun and orders him to exhume the Sith scrolls hidden in a Nadd’s sarcophagus.
With the scrolls to guide him, Exar Kun crosses the Galaxy to one of the lost worlds of the ancient Sith magicians and their dark Jedi rulers.
