From the darkest days of the Clone Wars, comes a tale of evil and intrigue.
Dispatched by the nefarious Count Dooku, the Sith assassin Asajj Ventress stalks her prey from the Outer Rim all the way to the tranquil world of Naboo. But just what is her target? And can even the Jedi stand in her way?
Take a walk on the Dark Side, in Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories #5!
The novel Brotherhood features Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi adopt the appearances they have in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, cycling out their designs from Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. Such implies that stories in which Kenobi and Skywalker have their Attack of the Clones designs are set before Brotherhood. However, Hyperspace Stories 5 must be set after Brotherhood, even though Skywalker and Kenobi possess their Attack of the Clones designs, minus the Padawan braid in Skywalker's case: Skywalker meets the Asajj Ventress face-to-face for the first time in Brotherhood and recognizes her in Hyperspace Stories 5. As such, Skywalker and Kenobi must have returned to their clothing and hairstyle choices at some point.
