Jedi Council: Acts of War

June 21, 2000

Even in the days before the shadow of the Phantom Menace fell upon it, the rule of the Senate was no guarantee of peace. Trouble could come in many forms to any of the thousands of worlds that made up the Republic. When conflict arose, it was the duty of theJedi Knights, under the guidance of the Jedi Council, to protect the innocent and set things right.

A vicious attack has laid waste to a colony on Mayvitch 7, one of the moons of Amador in the Chalenor system. A strained transmission escapes the carnage - a lone soldier crying the name of his attacker - the Yinchorri.

His last words reach the spires of theJedi Temple onCoruscant, and the assembled Jedi Council prepare for a grim mission. An unseen villain is pulling the Yinchorri's strings, goading their already warlike nature into deadlier aggression. Already, Jedi blood has been spilled, and the Council can no longer ignore this threat.

Thus, a Jedi mission is launched from Coruscant, spearheaded by Senior Jedi Council Member,Mace Windu. Among the participants:

 

		Saesee Tiin - the skilled pilot from the Iktotchi moon				Qui-Gon Jinn - a venerable Jedi Master
		Obi-Wan Kenobi - Jinn's highly-skilled apprentice				Adi Gallia - the daughter of a diplomat
		Eeth Koth - the Zabrak thought control expert				Tsui Choi - the diminutive Aleena Jedi
		Theen Fida - Choi's hulking Anx Padawan				Plo Koon - the masked Kel Dor Jedi fighter
		Micah Giiett - a crafty, charismatic master of sleight of hand				Lilit Twoseas - a quiet, beautiful human
		K'kruhk - Lilit's burlyWhiphid Padawan

These Jedi must face the reptilian warriors who are immune to the Force's persuasive effects, and determine the cause of these acts of war.

Star Wars: Jedi Council is a four-issue comic series written by Randy Stradley with art by Davidé Fabbri and Christian Dalla Vecchia. The first issue is scheduled for release on June 21 by Dark Horse Comics.
