A long time ago in a distant Galaxy...

Nine years have passed since the Battle of Yavin. The New Republic soldiers barely manage to hold back the advance of Imperial forces under the command of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Clone soldiers, created in the Emperor's secret laboratory, are pushing back the Alliance forces. As Thrawn prepares for one last decisive attack, information hunter Tzlon Karrde tries to rally the smugglers, urging them to oppose the Empire.

The New Republic forms a sabotage team to destroy the cloning facilities. Luke Skywalker, Han and Leia Solo, Mara Jade, Talon Karrde and his vornskrs Sturm und Drang travel to distant Weyland, into the bowels of Mount Tantiss. But here a monstrous danger awaits them - the legendary dark Jedi.

Old and new heroes in the epic history of Star Wars.
