Plot summary[]
As the Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow's surviving warships return to the Sith Empire, he is confronted by the presumed-dead Ludo Kressh, who had in fact sent a decoy ship to Khar Delba. Kressh declares himself the new Dark Lord of the Sith and orders his forces to attack Sadow's fleet. However, Kressh is soon killed when Sadow willingly crashes one of his ships into the hull of Kressh's flagship.
On Kirrek, the defeated Sith retreat to their ships. Jedi Knight Odan-Urr reflects on the recent events. While he welcomes the victory over the Sith, he laments the loss of his Master Ooroo. In return for Empress Teta's amnesty, Commander Llaban urges the former Kirrek rebels, who had joined forces with the Empress to repel the Sith, to work together to create a time of peace and rebuilding.
On Coruscant, the Senate Hall holds a victory celebration. Memit Nadill disconnects his lightsaber from its power pack, hoping that he does not need to use it in battle again. As the celebration rages, reparation work begins in Coruscant. Memit hopes that the Empress fared as well as they did.
Meanwhile, Empress Teta's fleet approaches the coordinates in Sith space provided by Gav Daragon. Her fleet attacks Sadow's tattered fleet, inflicting damage on his depleted forces. Accompanied by Jori Daragon, Empress Teta issues an ultimatum ordering Sadow to surrender. Sadow refuses and orders the Massassi on the other ships to kill the Sith Lords commanding them, creating a large barrier between the Dark Lord and Teta's fleet.
With the exception of Naga Sadow's flagship, the Sith ships are soon destroyed in an explosion. Naga Sadow sets his flagship on a course for the Denarii Nova. Empress Teta sends several gunships after him but the Sith Lord uses the Denarii Nova's flares to destroy the pursuing ships. Believing Sadow to be dead, Empress Teta recalls her remaining ships and brings them back to Koros Major.
Meanwhile, on Koros Major, Odan-Urr discovers a Sith holocron in one of the Empire's abandoned ships. Recalling the last words of his late Master Ooroo, he decides to create the Great Jedi Library on Ossus. Empress Teta also rewards Jori for her services during the Great Hyperspace War by appointing her as the new owner of Aarrba's repair dock.
Elsewhere, Naga Sadow takes his flagship to the moon of Yavin 4 in the isolated Yavin system. Accompanied by his remaining followers and Massassi warriors, Sadow makes camp on the isolated moon. There he spends the rest of his days, attempting to rebuild the once-great Sith Empire.
