[edit] Plot summary
The comic starts out with Jedi Master Bolla Ropal discussing the Republic seeking to put a base on Devaron with politicians from Devaron. Ropal assures the politicians that the Force would turn their valley lush and green. He is more worried about "fortifying the future than wage war in the present."
Meanwhile, clone troopers under Commander Ganch are working to block a river. Jedi Padawan Tyzen Xebec repels down on a rope when he hears the clones complaining about their work. Suddenly, an alarm sounds, warning Ropal, Ganch, and Tyzen to an enemy task force entering the system. Cad Bane, who is leading the force, orders the land assault to begin. He also speaks to Aurra Sing, whom he orders to distract the Padawan and the clones while he goes for Ropal. Aurra orders her battle droids to open fire on the clones gunship. The gunship explodes, causing Tyzen and Ganch to become pinned down under wreckage.
Cad Bane and his land assault force attack the remaining clones, and moves in to capture Ropal. Aurra targets Tyzen, who is still trapped in debris with Ganch. Ropal orders Tyzen to stay back, as Cad fires a cortosis shot, which not only breaks Cad's blaster, but disrupts Ropal's lightsaber. Cad ties up Ropal with a metallic cord, and demands him to open a holocron. When Ropal refuses, Cad shocks him with electricity through the metallic cord. Cad then takes Ropal away. Ganch contacts Anakin Skywalker, and fills him in on the events. Before Anakin can get any answers from the clone, he is attacked by battle droids.
Planetside, Tyzen orders the clones to open fire on the braces of the dam holding back the river. The clones seal up their helemts, and destroy the braces. The river floods in and wipes out the droid attack force. Ganch and Tyzen climb out, and Tyzen worries about Ropal. He sits beside the river, feeling sorry that Ropal never saw his creation for the Devaronians, and awaits the Republic gunships coming to rescue him.
