Saboteur: Star Wars Legends (Darth Maul) (Short Story)

James Luceno — 2001

A dazzling new short story featuring Darth Maul, merciless apprentice of evil . . . On the distant planet Dorvalla, precious ore is mined by two competing companies: InterGalactic Ore and Lommite Limited. Neither rival suspects that they are central to a sinister plot masterminded by Darth Sidious, Lord of the Sith, himself. Dispatched by Sidious on his very first solo mission, Darth Maul infiltrates Lommite Limited. There, his unique gifts of deception and subterfuge will set off an explosive chain of events that could destroy both companies, leaving them ripe for takeover by the Trade Federation. But a vengeful Lommite Limited Manager with his own thirst for retaliation against InterGal could blow Maul's cover--and all of Sidious's fiendishly layed plans . . . BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Star Wars: Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter.

Set in 33BBY Unfortunately there's nothing to see here. This one's a short story that takes place before the Phantom Menace and it's supposed to be a Maul story, but alas, we only get a peek of Maul, while other non-important characters take the main stage. And that's sad. Simple enough story, that is not interesting and or fun to read but rather a chore to go through, mainly because it's a Maul story that barely includes Maul in it. Q: Is it important for the lore or the character? A: No. What is done in secret, has great power. - Palpatine
