The Clone Wars: Discount

The Clone Wars: Discount is a short webcomic leading directly into the The Clone Wars episode Duel of the Droids.

Plot Summary
Passel Argente makes a rendezvous with Gha Nachkt aboard his ship, the Vulture's Claw, to purchase a droid from him. Following his failure at the Battle of Kamino, Argente knew the Separatist Council, particularly Wat Tambor, would be watching him closely. He wanted to buy a droid he could use to spy on Tambor. Nachkt showed Argente what he had to offer. Argente at first expressed interest in the deactivated R2-D2, but Nachkt said he was reserved for another customer. Nachkt then showed Argente a 4A-7 protocol droid and offered it to him at a discount. The deal was made. What Argente wasn't aware of was that the 4A-7 droid was already programmed by Wat Tambor to spy on Argente himself. The double-agent droid was given to Nachkt to "sell" to Argente. After informing Tambor that the deal had been made, Nachkt received his payment.
