In a time long preceding the Clone Wars, the Empire's rise, and the emergence of the First Order, the Jedi illuminated the galaxy during a prosperous era known as the High Republic!
At the young age of sixteen, Vernestra Rwoh has recently become a Jedi Knight; however, her inaugural mission closely resembles a simple babysitting job. Her task involves overseeing Avon Starros, a twelve-year-old aspiring inventor, aboard a cruiser en route to the grand opening of the magnificent Starlight Beacon space station.
Early into their voyage, explosions erupt within the cruiser. While the adult Jedi endeavor to salvage the vessel, Vernestra, Avon, Avon's droid J-6, a Jedi Padawan learner, and the son of an ambassador manage to reach an escape pod. Unfortunately, communication systems are offline, and supplies are scarce. Consequently, they opt to land on a nearby moon, providing minimal resources but some refuge. Unbeknownst to the group, peril awaits them within the surrounding forest.
Approximately forty seconds into the first chapter, Lina Soh, the Supreme Chancellor, is erroneously addressed using male pronouns.
