Star Wars, the high Republic

In the age of the High Republic, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds across the galaxy. But on the closely orbiting planets of Eiram and E'ronoh, tensions still run high, and a decade of escalating conflict now threatens to consume surrounding systems. The planets' royal families take one final attempt at peace by marrying their two heirs, but before lasting peace can be established, an assassination attempt targeting the couple leads to an all-out war. Jedi Knight Gella Nattai is sent to uncover the assassin's identity, while Chancellor Kyong appoints her son, Axel Greylark, to represent the Republic's interests in the investigation. Gella and Axel find themselves forced to work together to uncover the truth, and they soon discover a dangerous conspiracy.

In this sequel to "Star Wars: The Rising Storm," the High Republic and its Jedi protectors have so far repelled the raiders called the Nihil, and the Starlight Beacon hangs in the Outer Rim as proof of the High Republic's culture, knowledge, and help for those fleeing the Nihil. At the Beacon live the Knights and Padawans of the Jedi Order, and Bell Zettifar, the new leader following the death of Loden Greatstorm. While Elzar Mann is escorting others back to the Beacon, they become caught in a trap created by Marchion Ro, the force behind the Nihil, who launches his most deadly attack against the Jedi.

A disaster at the treaty signing on Jedha brings renewed violence after five years of conflict on Eiram and E'ronoh. The royal heirs of both planets reach out to the Jedi to help fight the Path of the Open Hand, whom the Jedi suspect caused the Jedha disaster in the first place.
