Four millenia before the rise of Emperor Palpatine, Jedi Knights struggle against the dark side of the Force and its minions. Ancient Sith sorceries have reemerged after a thousand years of dormancy, threatening the peace that has reigned across the galaxy since the Fall of the Sith Empire...
The Beast Wars of Onderon and the Freedon Nadd Uprising have hurled the galaxy toward the inevitable clash between good and evil, and brave Jedi like Ulic Qel-Droma, Nomi Sunrider, and Tott Doneeta have joined forces with the Republic to fend off the growing darkness.
This companion to the popular Dark Horse comic book series features detailed game statistics and histories for the people, places, starships, vehicles, and droids involved in the events leading up to the Great Sith War. In addition, this book includes a detailed listing of all Force powers ever featured in any Star Wars Roleplaying Game product. A section on designing and running a Tales of the Jedi campaign, plus new equipment and character templates, enables gamemasters to create their own adventures during this time of conflict between shadow and light.
The epic struggle against the dark side of the Force is only beginning...
I only read this for the lore content and not the RPG content. As for the lore aspect, its simply a summary of the Tales of the Jedi comics and really nothing other than that so take that as you will. If you are like me and trying to read the entire Star Wars time line then go for it but it really isn't all that necessary
