At the dawn of the Galactic Empire, two beings a galaxy apart will do the unthinkable to save those in their care, only to risk losing themselves in the process.
After Order 66 forces Jedi Master K'Kruhk to take desperate measures in defense of some Padawan younglings, he believes he has found for them a peaceful oasis in an oppressed galaxy. But little does K'Kruhk know, a far away drama involving Bomo Greenbark and the smuggling crew of the Uhumele will alter his future forever. Meanwhile, these dark times have taken much from Bomo Greenbark, but he cannot—will not—let it take his new-found friends. No matter what it takes, Bomo will fight to his last breath.
In the trade paperback, a line of dialogue from Dark Times 8 has been changed. In issue 8, when Haka Hai's men are about to torture Bomo Greenbark, one of them comments on Bomo's legs, saying that they're too short to reach the shackles. In the trade paperback, he simply says, "Hold his legs still!"
