Lanteeb, a world situated in the Outer Rim, lacks both strategic importance and political clout, but it faces a significant issue: an invasion by a strengthened Separatist Alliance. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, both Jedi Knights, have secretly entered Lanteeb to uncover the reason behind this invasion – and are now in extreme danger…
Anakin and Obi-Wan conceal their lightsabers under their inconspicuous outfits, utilizing their Jedi abilities to outmaneuver Lok Durd's droid forces on Lanteeb. The Jedi are aware that a captured scientist has provided Durd with access to a devastating bioweapon. Durd is aware that the Jedi are present on his planet. As Yoda calls upon the collective strength of the Jedi Council, a novel Separatist technology disrupts the Guardians' communication systems, and a betrayer exists within the Republic's leadership, the gears of war are in motion. However, the Separatists have imposed a blockade on Lanteeb. The final preparations are underway for a weapon capable of annihilating entire planets. It will fall upon the two Jedi Knights and their most reliable allies to free Lanteeb, or they will face the repercussions indefinitely.
