Plot summary[]

STAR WARS
THE HIGH REPUBLIC
THOSE HUNDRED
THOUSAND LIGHTS

Zeen, Lula, and the Republic Forces
have been scouring the galaxy for any
hint as to the whereabouts of Farzala,
Buckets of Blood, and their other
friends who vanished when STARLIGHT
BEACON fell a year earlier. A tip from
chaotic droid 5A-G3's spy network leads
them to focus on the KORVIX VORN, a
NIHIL PRISON SHIP that makes occasional
runs outside of the OCCLUSION ZONE.

The Jedi and their allies prepare for a
desperate raid that could cost them
everything or finally reveal the answers
they've so urgently sought.
