Star Wars: Vector
From ComicsContinuum.com:
 Dark Horse Comics has announced that its major Star Wars event, Vector, will begin in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #25 in January.
Vector will run through Dark Horse's four Star Wars titles throughout 2008, introducing new characters and tying the entire line together.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the event:
"When a terrible vision reaching more than 4,000 years into the future alerts the secret Jedi Covenant to the importance of Taris, they activate an operative already on this planet overrun by Mandalorians. There, in the deadly Undercity, a monstrous, ancient threat is unleashed that plunges Zayne Carrick, the Padawan accused of killing his fellow students, into an adventure which will eventually span four thousand years and involve Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and the principles of the Legacy series"
"After our relaunch in 2006 and the 30th anniversary this year, we were looking for something special to kick-off 2008," said editor Randy Stradley. "At first, a line-wide Star Wars crossover seemed like it might be beyond our reach, but after nearly a year's worth of back-and-forth discussions among our writers and artists, we came up with something really solid.
"Not only is it a big story that can span all of the eras we're dealing with, but the events which take place within each era will be important to that era."
(From The TFN Forums:
Anyway, here's the scoop on the "Vector" line-up (with no hints whatsoever about the story!): it begins in Knights of the Old Republic #25-28. After that, the story thread jumps to Dark Times #11-12, then Rebellion #15-16, and finally wraps up in Legacy #29-32. Technically speaking, one needn't read any chapter in any series one doesn't ordinarily read. Each chapter is self-contained, and pertains primarily to the series in which it takes place. But the over-arcing story does have a beginning, middle, and end, and we're guessing most of you will want to read the whole thing.
