Light of the Jedi

by Charles Soule

First published 2021

The Jedi stand at the peak of their influence during the High Republic era. Hyperspace scouts push the galaxy's borders outward while the Senate governs with wisdom. Peace spreads across star systems under Jedi protection. Then catastrophe strikes. A ship tears apart in hyperspace, sending deadly fragments toward an entire populated system. Jedi knights rush to the disaster site as debris rains from the sky. They strain their abilities to the breaking point, knowing that one error could kill billions of innocent people. The scope of destruction challenges even their mastery of the Force. While the Jedi battle to contain the immediate crisis, a darker truth emerges. The hyperspace accident was no random event. Something malevolent orchestrated the disaster from beyond Republic borders. This hidden enemy possesses knowledge that could shake the confidence of even the most seasoned Jedi. As the golden age faces its first major test, the Jedi must confront both the physical destruction before them and the realization that their era of peace may be ending.
