Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku’s droid army has seized control of
the major hyperspace lines, separating the Republic from the
majority of its clone army. With few clones available, the Jedi
Generals cannot gain a foothold in the Outer Rim, as more and more
planets choose to join Dooku’s Separatists. While the Jedi are
occupied fighting a war, no-one is left to keep the peace. Chaos and
crime spread and the innocent become victims in a lawless galaxy... To accompany

Wars - Volume 1. It is available from its publisher Dreams
