Star Wars / Zahn, Timothy

The mission of the Outbound Flight was to contact intelligent life and colonize worlds beyond the known galaxy but once underway the starship crosses paths with the forces of the alien Chiss Ascendency and their mastermind, Thrawn. What began as a peaceful Jedi mission is transformed into an all-out war for survival.

Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth's Outbound Flight Project--the journey of fifty thousand men, women, and children, including Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padawan Anakin Skywalker, on a mission to colonize worlds beyond the known galaxy--is drawn into war when it crosses paths with the Chiss mastermind Thrawn.
