Star Wars: The Clone Wars comic series' issue number 7, also known as "The Clone Wars 7: In Service of the Republic, Part 1," marks the beginning of the In Service of the Republic narrative arc within the broader Star Wars: The Clone Wars collection.
The first installment of a trilogy sees the Republic's aerial dominance on Khorm negated by bizarre, naturally-occurring tempests. With their aircraft grounded, Jedi Masters Kit Fisto and Plo Koon devise a risky offensive alongside a team of battle-hardened Republic Commandos. As if facing entrenched Separatist troops wasn't challenging enough, the Jedi must also grapple with Captain Kendal Ozzel, an ambitious and fame-obsessed Republic officer embedded within their ranks.
