Vader quickly dispatches one of the Jedi, Sia-Lan Wezz, and while fighting the other Jedi, promptly disposes of another, Ma'kis'shaalas. To help her do this, she also employs the use of a cortosis-weaved blade. Secretly, Shadday has 'invited', by spreading rumors Obi-Wan would be here, in hopes of the Jedi group being able to trap and overwhelm him. As the Jedi ponder this, a dark presence is sensed arriving. The Jedi began to debate what should be done about the Empire and the purge of their order, and Koffi Arana proposes going to the dark side of the Force to stop Vader. Bultar and Tsui arrive, bringing the total amount of Jedi in attendance to eight.
The person who has called this gathering is Shadday Potkin. Afterwards, a clone trooper informs Lord Vader that Imperial spies have information of a Jedi gathering on Kessel.
Meanwhile, on Coruscant, Darth Vader completes his torture of Jedi Dama Montalvo by killing him, his reason being that Dama refused to give up the location of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The two head off under Bultar's guidance. After Choi surprises them and defeats them, he is surprised by another Jedi survivor, Bultar Swan.
There, clone troopers are searching for Jedi Master Tsui Choi. The story starts in Eriadu, a planet in the Outer Rim.
