5000 – 4999 BBY: Lost Tribe of the Sith: Skyborn

Hello again!  In this post I'm going to be looking at Skyborn which is the second book in the Lost Tribe of the Sith series.  I found the content in this story to be very good.  I will give a brief summary of this story and then go into my thoughts about it.

This story starts out before Omen crashed on the planet Kesh and then picks up from when Korsin see's somebody riding on the back of a uvak.  The story follows Adari Vaal and here first encounter with the Sith crew of the Omen.  Before she finds the burning wreckage,  Adari is being blamed for going against the religion of the Kesh people.  In most cases, the person would suffer big consequences but since she is the widowed wife of a uvak rider, her status has protected her from being harmed.  During one of the hearings she is attending, a large plume of smoke erupts from the mountain along with large fires.  Not believing that the mountain is a volcano, Adari decides to investigate.  She takes Nink (her deceased husbands uvak) and flies to this mountain.  This is when Korsin see's her flying on the uvak in the first short story of this series.  She witnesses Korsin kill his brother and flees the mountain.  But later she returns and makes contact with the crew of the Omen.  She informs the people of Kesh of the Sith arrival but they mistake them for being the Skyborn (gods that the people of Kesh believe in)  and the Sith take advantage of this.  With Adari being the ambassador for the Kesh people the Sith enlist the labourers of Kesh to help them stabilize their ship on the mountain and to help them find the right metals to repair it.  But that will never happen.  

Like I said before, I found the content of these stories to be very good.  John Jackson Miller has done a wonderful job of illustrating the rich Star Wars history in each of these story's so far.  Before I started this blog, I was reading the Fate of the Jedi series.  The planet of Kesh played a major role in the story line.  But I wish I had of read this series before the Fate of the Jedi series so I would have had better idea Kesh and its people.  It will take a very long time for the Sith to actually get of Kesh because of the time between this Lost Tribe series and Fate of the Jedi (with Luke Skywalker).

I look forward to reading more of the Lost Tribe of the Sith series.  If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my posts, leave a comment below.  My next post will be from Jedi vs Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force part one The Great Hyperspace War, and part four Sith Alchemy.  Until the next time, may the Force be with you.......
