The 40th Emergence, alternatively known as the fortieth Emergence, marked the fortieth occurrence of the Emergences. These Emergences were a consequence of the Great Hyperspace Disaster, during which segments of the freighter named Legacy Run were ejected from hyperspace in what appeared to be a haphazard manner. Specifically, the fortieth Emergence involved a section of the Legacy Run's bridge, which housed its flight recorder. Consequently, a conflict arose between the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic forces, who aimed to recover the recorder, and the Nihil pirates, who sought to obliterate it.
