Watch the fall of the Republic through the eyes of Sagoro Autem – Senate Guard, mercenary, prisoner, Clone Wars hero, and Imperial target – in a story that spans from before the Clone Wars to the first mission of Darth Vader! Young Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker – his even younger Padawan – protect a senator from assassination attempts that threaten to silence his crucial swing vote. Joining the Jedi in their mission is Autem, loyal Senate Guard. Yet, as Obi-Wan and Anakin fend off a league of master assassins, Autem discovers a link between the killers that will change his own life forever – a secret he will not be able to face until the Clone Wars have come and gone, and he finds himself on the run from the new Emperor’s enforcer, Darth Vader!? This story reveals the ending to a story Star Wars fans have been waiting for years to resolve!

“Honor and Duty”

Inker: Jasen Rodriguez
Colorist: Brad Anderson
Letterer: Joe Wayne

In part #1, An important Senate vote is imminent, and a Senator from a small system is suddenly in possession of two things he never expected to have: the power of a “swing” vote, and a death threat! At the insistence of the Supreme Chancellor, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker are ordered to help protect the Senator – along with the Senator’s regular team of Senate Guards. Ordinarily, four stalwart protectors would be more than enough to ensure the Senator’s safety, but as the Jedi and the Guards discover, this situation is far from ordinary…

Next in part #2, Obi-Wan and Anakin have their hands full protecting Senator Greyshade from attacks by droid assassins, sky-bike riding Dug assassins, and beautiful assassin princesses with diplomatic immunity. Meanwhile, Autem and Omin, the two Senate Guards who are also on the Greyshade assignment, discover a common link among the assassins – a link that strikes a little too close to home for Autem.

Finally in part #3, Obi-Wan and Anakin’s lightsabers are working overtime as they are confronted by assassins on all sides – a beautiful princess with a penchant for deadly toys and exotic martial arts; a radio-pathic alien with specially-constructed battle droids; and a crazed Dug on a speeder bike. Meanwhile, the two Senate Guards assigned to the case are making disturbing discoveries about the person who hired the assassins. For one of the Guards, “family ties” may be a noose that drags him to death and disgrace!
