5000 – 4999 BBY: Fall of the Sith Empire #4 and #5

Sorry it's been awhile since my last post.  I've been extremely busy lately. In this post I will be looking at the final issues of the Fall of the Sith Empire.  I will give a brief summary of both issues then I want to talk about what may have happened if Naga Sadow had of received the Lignan ore before the battle of Kirrek.

In issue #4, Dogs of War, Gav flies to the location of Naga Sadow to confront him.  He fires at the meditation sphere that Sadow is in.  And because of this, the illusions that Sadow conjured up for the battle begin to fade away.  This gives the Republic a new sense of hope.  Sadow lures Gav into the meditation sphere.  But Sadow isn't there.  He set a trap for Gav and the Republic fleet that followed Jori.  He activates his weapon that creates solar flares on the nearby sun.  Both fleets escape but Sadows meditation sphere is too damaged to fly, so it explodes with Gav inside of it.

In issue #5, End of an Empire, Sadow returns to the Sith Empire.  As he arrives in the system, the presumed dead Ludo Kressh appears.  He states that he is the new Dark Lord of the Sith.  They engage in a brief battle.  Sadow, not wanting to lose his title, orders one of his ships to ram the ship Ludo Kressh is in.  Soon after, the fleet of Empress Teta enters SIth space and engages the already damaged ships of Naga Sadow.  The Republic fleet obliterates Sadow's fleet, but Sadow still manages to escape.  He escapes to the planet of Yavin IV where he begins his plan to return to the galaxy and exact revenge on the Republic.

I wonder what would have happened if Naga Sadow received the Lignan ore for the battle of Kirrek.  I would assume that the Sith would have won.  If things had of ended up differently, Star Wars as we know it would cease to exist.  Instead, we would be reading more about the actions of the Sith and their effort to rid the Galaxy of the Jedi instead of the other way around (the Jedi riding the galaxy of the Sith).  I'm glad that its the other way around.  I look forward to reading what happens to Naga Sadow after he arrives on Yavin IV (if anything actually does happen to him).

For my next post, I will be reading The Lost Tribe of the Sith: Skyborn it may take me some time to track down a copy that I don't have to pay for.  Until then may the Force be with you.......
