The Apprentice Trilogy

The Apprentice Trilogy is a three-part series of novellas which is part of Sakaros's Untitled New Sith Wars series. The trilogy takes place in 1,389 BBY, and centers around the trials of the early apprenticeship of the Jedi Narasi Rican to Tirien Kal-Di. It also features the rise of the Sith Darth Alecto and the initial development of her rivalry with Tirien.

The Apprentice Trilogy broadens the scope of the Untitled New Sith War series considerably beyond the first installment, the short story “The Price of Knighthood”. The trilogy embraces an assassination attempt on Republic Senator Glavial Iltek on, negotiations with Karr Shadeez on Gizer Battlestation, and the two-month Battle of Taanab. It includes both long-term villains like Alecto and her Sith Overlord, Darth Saleej, along with the localized villains Nerlus Zedum and Ondar Vargh. Other long-term characters introduced in the trilogy include Jedi Knight Mali Darakhan and his apprentice, Aldayr Nikodon.
