Summary

Darth Maul engages many enemies in during his Sith trials. Darth Sidious tells him to prepare for a journey to strike against the leaders of the Black Sun criminal syndicate. He gives him his Sith Infiltrator ship to help him. He is one Sith and against a galaxy of enemies.

Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi spot the ship as it leaves Coruscant. They sense a strange disturbance in the Force.

-----

Maul seeks out Black Sun enforcers and convinces them to allow him to infiltrate their ranks. They take them to their leader, but Maul kills all but one whom he lets leave. He tells them the vigos (leaders) are at war with each other.

-----

Before killing his next vigo he learns they will all be on Ralltir to discuss the first assassination.

On Ralltir, Lex, the Black Sun Leader, brings forth the survivor to tell the vigos his story. They decide to wait within the fortress for safety.

Maul arrives and fights his way through hundreds of guards eventually reaching the throne room.

-----

Sensing he is beaten Lex takes his bodyguard, Mighella, a witch trained in the Dark Side, and leaves the vigos to die. Mighella decides to stay and confront Maul herself. They have a furious fight, but eventually Maul is victories.

Maul catches up to Lex and drowns him.

 

Comments

This was an excellent for me. Plenty of dialogue for Maul that brought out a bit more of his personality (what their is of it). But more than that, it was just the type of mission that I would want Sidious to send him on.

The fight scenes were well drawn and the pace was very quick throughout.

If you're looking for some Sith action and manipulation you could do worse than read this series.
