CHAPTER 5: MONSTER & APPRENTICE

Ignoring orders to return to Coruscant, Jedi Master Keeve Trennis and the crew of the ”Ataraxia” have entered the Nihil Occlusion Zone to search for Keeve’s former Jedi Master, Sskeer.

On the planet Kindosorn, they encounter fellow survivors of Starlight Beacon, the gelatinous archivist OrbaLin and Goonral Monshi, the Latero critically injured after a violent encounter with Sskeer, who appears to have lost his mind.

Terec and Ceret accompany OrbaLin and Monshi back to the ”Ataraxia”’s shuttle, only to find the craft wrecked by a mysterious Jedi Hunter. Meanwhile, Keeve and the Jedi’s reluctant ally Lourna Dee track Sskeer to an ancient ruin at the heart of the Kindosornian jungle.
