The New Republic enjoys unprecedented peace. Former rebels now govern from Coruscant while the Empire crumbles in defeat. Luke Skywalker feels restless in this tranquil time and embarks on a perilous quest to his mother's homeworld, seeking her lost people. Meanwhile, Lando Calrissian encounters a mysterious vessel carrying weapons of massive destruction and unknown purpose. The calm shatters when Leia confronts a ruthless Yevetha leader of the Duskhan League. This arrogant alien pursues genocidal warfare that threatens to destroy the New Republic's fragile unity. Luke's personal journey collides with galactic politics as the heroes who once fought the Empire now face a new enemy. The Yevetha's aggression tests whether yesterday's rebels can become today's leaders. Peace proves more fragile than anyone imagined.
