From the Author
The _Fate of the Jedi _ novels introduce readers to a hidden Sith society, living apart from the rest of the galaxy for five thousand years. But how did they come to be? _Lost Tribe of the Sith _ answers that question. Spanning millennia, this series of short stories introduces the original unlikely castaways -- and shows how their society was shaped.
The initial castaways begin far removed from the Sith Lords we see in the movies: the starship Omen is, in fact, a mining vessel, carrying specialists. Force-using adherents to Sith beliefs -- but still slaves to another: middle managers in the cause of evil. But on Kesh, their planetary prison, all their dark ambitions emerge. Everyone wants to rule the world -- and tries!
How do the children of Omen survive -- much less thrive for five thousand years? The Lost Tribe of the Sith short stories provide the answer. "Sith society" may be a contradiction in terms, but it's a fun one to explore!
