Synopsis:
It is a golden age. Intrepid hyperspace scouts expand
the reach of the Repubic to the farthest stars, worlds
flourish under the benevolent leadership of the Senate,
and peace reigns, enforced by the wisdom and strength of
the renowned order of Force users known as the Jedi.
With the Jedi at the height of their power, the free
citizens of the galaxy are confident in their ability to
weather any storm But even the brightest light can cast
a shadow, and some storms defy any preparation. When
a shocking catastrophe in hyperspace tears a ship to
pieces, the flurry of shrapnel emerging from the
disaster threatens an entire system. No sooner does the
call for help go out than the Jedi race to the scene.
The scope of the emergence, however, is enough to push
even Jedi to their limit. As the sky breaks open and
destruction rains down upon the peaceful alliance they
helped to build, the Jedi must trust in the Force to see
them through a day in which a single mistake could cost
billions of lives. Even as the Jedi battle valiantly
against calamity, something truly deadly grows beyond
the boundary of the Republic. The hyperspace disaster is
far more sinister than the Jedi could ever suspect. A
threat hides in the darkness, far from them.
