The Stark Hyperspace War represented the eighth story arc featured in Star Wars: Republic.
Prior to the commencement of the Clone Wars, the Jedi participated in a significant conflict known as the Stark Hyperspace War. The "commercial combine" led by Iaco Stark, a smuggler and pirate, has caused a disturbance in the production of bacta, which is the most vital healing substance throughout the galaxy. Stark's objective is to accumulate vast wealth by monopolizing the bacta supply. However, certain elements within the Republic have formed alliances with the Trade Federation, aiming to exploit Stark's aggressive actions as justification for expanding their military forces.
The responsibility falls upon the Jedi Council to unravel the complex web of lies and schemes, and to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice before the galaxy is consumed by warfare!
