After learning ofDarth Wredd's plot to attack EmpressMarasiah Fel, the youngImperial KnightJao Assam and hisjunk dealer friendAnia Solo embark on a quest to hunt down the rogueSith. Their hunt leads them to the lawlessCalamari system, which has become the stronghold of a pirate syndicate led by the SithDarth Luft. Darth Luft has lured manyMon Calamari andQuarren refugees back to Dac under the pretext of a project to restoreDac, whose oceans had been poisoned by theOne Sith during theSecond Imperial Civil War. Jao, Ania, and their Mon Calamari and Quarren guidesLuen andTikin are dumped in anescape pod into the poisoned oceans of Dac and face imminent death if they come into contact with even a single drop of the poisoned oceans. Jao's adoptedcommunications droid manages to transmit a distress signal.

With much difficulty, Sauk manages to use the freighter's grappling hook to grab Ania's escape pod. Meanwhile onCoruscant, the Imperial Knight MasterYalta Val receives Jao's transmission. He brings the plight of the Mon Calamari and Quarren before theGalactic Federation Triumvirate leadership but is rebuffed by Empress Fel.

While Jao wants to take the fight to the Sith, Ania and AG-37 recommend that they return to the freighter and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. Meanwhile, the Quarren Tikin is unwilling to antagonize the Sith because he does not want to endanger his sonTilin. Unable to resolve their differences, the three groups part company.
