Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi #1 Cover

ULIC QEL-DROMA AND THE BEAST WARS OF ONDERON

Millennia ago, the discovery of hyperspace
travel brought the galaxy together, giving
birth to a democratic union of star systems
known as the Galactic Republic. From the time
of its inception, the Republic grew, over
thousands of years, to encompass vast numbers
of inhabited worlds.

The survival of the Republic depended on two
factors: the wise governing of selfless administrators
and lawmakers...and the preservation of harmony
and justice by a heroic warrior fraternity – the Jedi
Knights.

In those glorious ancient days, a great many force-
sensitive individuals willingly entered arduous training
under accomplished Jedi Masters, taking up the weapons,
the knowledge, and the powers of the Jedi Way.
