Publisher's Summary
''Among the Jedi, Master Shaak Ti is known as a peacemaker; the calm voice of reason. But caught on the ground on war-torn Brentaal IV with a rapidly dwindling platoon of clone troopers, Shaak Ti is forced to go on the offensive! ''

''A Magna-gun emplacement is preventing Republic ships from landing reinforcements, and to save the mission, and the lives of Ti's own troops, the guns must be silenced. To accomplish the task, Shaak Ti will accept whatever help she can get-even that of a killer convicted of murdering Ti's former pupil!''

Continuity
The original dating of this Comic prior to changes necessitated by Star Wars: The Clone Wars puts this story occurring +5 ABG (months After the Battle of Geonosis) or 13:10 in GrS format; our internal timeline places it at +3 ABG or 13:8 GrS.

Dooku mentions how his armies are tied up in the Mirgoshir System and on Muunlinst these two are a reference to Mirgoshir Campaign first mentioned in the game Star Wars: The Clone Wars by Anakin Skywalker. The other seems to be a reference to the first and second seasons of Star Wars: Clone Wars where the Battle of Muunilinst is the primary focus of the series however concurrent with that event, Shaak Ti is fighting in the Battle of Hypori. It would seem that the Battle of Muunilinst mentioned in the comic is another so this article treats this as a separate conflict when the Separatists retake Munnilinst from the Republic as Munnlinist falls back into Separatist control according to The Essential Guide to Warfare.

Saguro Autem calls Ryyk the Wookiee a "Walking Rug" a reference to Leia Organa calling Chewbacca a "Walking Carpet" in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope.

With Quinlan's transmission codes being broken by what Shaak Ti suspects a traitor this sets up the subsequent storyline in Star Wars: Republic with Quinlan Vos going undercover and become a traitor to the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic to establish an alibi to infiltrate Count Dooku's inner circle and discover the identity of the second Sith.

The sewer creature known as a Scrange also made an appearance in the previous issue Jedi: Mace Windu in which Asajj Ventress defeats one as well on what can only be assumed is the planet Kholma.

This comic references the events from Republic: Honor and Duty as Saguro Autem recounts to Quinlan Vos about how he ended up imprisoned on Brentaal IV. In the same explanation, he mentions a Devaronian Mercenary who left him to get caught, this might be a little tongue and cheek indication that his partner was the infamous Vilmarh Garhk who was created by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema who wrote and penciled this story.
