Flamboyant Second Empire !

is a 6-issue limited series composed of two story arc-chapters of three issues each, respectively titled "Threat of Peace" and "Blood of the Empire" published by Dark Horse Comics as part of the publicity for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) of the same title based on the Star Wars universe being developed by Bioware and that is scheduled for release by the second or third quarter of 2011. Both story arcs were originally successively published online as web comics and provide back stories to the game.

The second, "Blood of the Empire" written by BioWare’s Senior Writer Alexander Freed, is set 25 years before the Treaty of Coruscant, and offers readers a new perspective of the events leading up to the start of . Issues #1 and #4 are Minutemmen scans while the rest are by the efficient yet just-as-good GreenGiant.
