A planet in chaos!

Under the leadership of Sith Lord Darth Maul and Death Watch leader Pre Vizsla, the group known as the Shadow Collective, comprised of the Hutts, Pikes, and Black Sun, has assaulted neutral system of Mandalore. When all seemed lost, the Death Watch seemingly liberated the planet from its attackers.

Now having Mandalore's capital, Sundari, under his control, Pre Vizsla turned on Maul. The Sith Lord sought vengeance, and wrested control of the Death Watch from Vizsla, killing him in the process. Vizsla's main lieutenant, Bo-Katan, led a faction against Maul's rule, while Duchess Satine Kryze sent a distress call to the Jedi.

The Republic could not intervene, as Mandalore was neutral, but Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived to free Satine. All was in vain, though, as Maul killed the Jedi's former love in front of his eyes. Bo-Katan freed Kenobi, and a battle ensued. As the Jedi escaped, Maul was captured by his former master, Darth Sidious.

Now, Obi-Wan hurries to Coruscant, knowing that an invasion of Mandalore is likely. Meanwhile, the two factions of Death Watch continue to fight as Maul's puppet leader Almec struggles to keep the peace...
