The Sith Empire is in flux. The Emperor is missing, presumed dead, and an ambitious Sith Lord’s attempt to seize the throne has ended fatally. Still, Darth Karrid, commander of the fearsome Imperial battle cruiser Ascendant Spear, continues her relentless efforts to achieve total Sith domination of the galaxy.
But Karrid’s ruthless determination is more than matched in the steely resolve of Theron Shan, whose unfinished business with the Empire could change the course of the war for good. Though the son of a Jedi Master, Theron does not wield the Force—but like his renowned mother, the spirit of rebellion is in his blood. As a top covert agent for the Republic, he struck a crucial blow against the Empire by exposing and destroying a Sith superweapon arsenal—which makes him the ideal operative for a daring and dangerous mission to end Ascendant Spear’s reign of terror.

* RightHandVsLeftHand: Theron, on Nar Shaddaa for personal business, inadvertently crosses paths with a fellow SIS agent who's there on a mission. Neither one of them has any idea that the other also works for the SIS, with the end result that the other agent ambushes Theron in a dark alley and ends up tased insensible and doped up with an interrogation drug before Theron realizes that he's blundered into an operation in progress.

* ReadingTheEnemysMail: The story's second act involves Theron and Gnost-Dural infiltrating Ziost in order to steal an Imperial black cipher, the mechanism by which the Empire encrypts its sensitive communications. Stealing the cipher is the first step in the Republic's plans to take out the ''Ascendant Spear'', and - similar to stories regarding the real-life Enigma and Lorenz ciphers in WWII - this leads to a situation in which Jace and Director Trant opt not to act on foreknowledge of Imperial plans to bombard Republic planets because doing so would alert the Empire to the fact that their cipher has been compromised before the ''Ascendant Spear'' can be neutralized.
