| Luke Skywalker is disturbed by Force-resonating images of a "man that does not exist"; an enemy whose power and cruelty reminds him of his own father, Darth Vader. This elusive enemy stalks Luke's thoughts, appearing only in vague premonitions and showing no true signs that he even exists in the here and now or in the future.
These images coincide with a very real threat to both his family and the galaxy at large; Corellia, homesystem of Han Solo, is calling for secession under the guise of "independence" from the Galactic Alliance. Luke and the Jedi Order, including Han's twin children Jacen and Jaina, are sworn to defend the alliance position. Leia, former New Republic leader and now a jedi knight, is caught in between her loyalty to the Order and the Alliance, and her husband's desire to defend his home planet. Jacen, now a much older and unique Jedi Knight, is commissioned to deactivate Centerpoint Station, a gravity well larger than even the Death Star itself. Jacen, accompanied by his apprentice Ben Skywalker, journey to the station on a mission to stop the Corellians from using the mysterious station as a weapon to force their will upon the Alliance and possibly through the galaxy into endless civil war. What Jacen discovers about the Corellian plot, and most importantly who's behind it and why, will change the lives of all the major heroes, and will change the course of galactic history. | ||
