KOMMANDANTEN-LEITFADEN Das Imperium hat die Macht über die Galaxis an sich gerissen. Um den Einflussbereich des Imperators rasch und effizient auszuweiten, haben hochrangige Offiziere jedes imperialen Militärzweigs für alle kürzlich beförderten Kommandanten taktische Richtlinien und Vorgehensweisen niedergeschrieben und durch Missionsberichte und vertrauliche Dokumente ergänzt.

DIESES HANDBUCH ÜBER STRATEGIE UND PHILOSOPHIE BIETET EINEN SPANNENDEN EINBLICK IN DAS IMPERIALE MILITÄR – GANZ GLEICH, AUF WELCHER SEITE DER REBELLION MAN STEHT.

DIE GEHEIMEN SCHRIFTEN DER DUNKLEN SEITE DER MACHT Seit Jahrhunderten streben die Sith nach der Macht über die Galaxis. Erfolge und Niederlagen, ihr Wissen, ihre Philosophie, ihre Pläne wurden von einigen der größten Sith-Lords niedergeschrieben.

Schließlich machte Darth Sidious die Überreste der fünf legendärsten Sith-Texte ausfindig, die von seinen mächtigsten Vorgängern verfasst wurden. Er fügte auch einen eigenen Text hinzu: sein persönliches Manifest. Die dunkle Seite der Macht erhebt ihr schreckliches Haupt – im Buch der Sith! MÖGE DIE DUNKLE SEITE DER MACHT ENTFESSELT WERDEN!
