The Grand Arena is located on Vespaara, and it consists of a series of battlefields. Within this arena, fighters known as Hunters compete in teams before large, enthusiastic crowds. Rieve, a Force-sensitive orphan originating from Corellia, is the newest addition to their ranks. She possesses abilities that she struggles to control and a past she is eager to escape. Rieve's beginning is challenging, as she grapples with a lack of confidence both within the Arena and in her interactions with her fellow Hunters. Furthermore, when a mysterious individual starts observing the Arena, Rieve worries that her problematic past has finally found her.
