After the hyperspace catastrophe and the heroic actions of the Jedi, the Republic continues to grow, bringing more and more worlds under a shared banner. To commemorate this unity, Chancellor Lina So plans an intergalactic exhibition to showcase all the possibilities promised by peaceful coexistence in the Republic. The Jedi arrive at the event as envoys of harmony. But if the whole Galaxy’s attention is fixed on the exhibition, then the rage of the Nihlilons is aimed at it as well. Their leader intends to get revenge and unleash terror on the Galaxy—something even the Force won’t be able to protect against.
