Joining them on the strange and solemn journey are an officer of the post-Palpatine Empire, escorted by a detachment of Imperial stormtroopers a party of diplomats from a gentle alien species that reveres the fallen Jedi for saving them from bloodthirsty conquerors and a New Republic ambassador who harbors his own mysterious agenda. Whatever may await, the Skywalkers will not face it alone. something that has stirred an inexplicable sense of foreboding in Mara. Accepting the gesture will mean a long voyage into the treacherous cluster of stars where the thousands of souls aboard the Outbound Flight vessel met their grim fate. Now, the fiercely honor-bound aliens who reside there wish to turn over the remnants of the doomed mission to the New Republic. After fifty years, the remains of Outbound Flight¿a pioneering Jedi expedition viciously destroyed by Thrawn¿have been found on Nirauan. and from which Luke and Mara barely escaped with their lives. It begins with a message from a surprising source: Nirauan, the planet where Thrawn, dangerous disciple of Emperor Palpatine, once held sway. But all that will change when they¿re united on an unexpected mission¿and must pool their exceptional skills to combat an insidious enemy. Despite the bond they share in the Force, after three years of marriage the Jedi Master and his wife are still learning the ropes of being a couple¿and struggling to find time together between the constant demands of duty. Sometimes it seems a Jedi¿s work is never done and Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker know this only too well.

And why is that? Because his one fellow former Ta Keoian (is that a word?) has just bought a controlling interest in Greyhound Inc. This is an example where Terry’s “old-school” mentality could be blinding him to the actual reality at play, and unless someone else goes down to the beach to cry that he can offer a sympathetic ear to, he could be the first to go if and when they lose a challenge.
