The Clone Wars have yet to erupt when Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth petitions the Senate for support of a singularly ambitious undertaking. Six Jedi Masters and twelve Jedi Knights, including Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, along with fifty thousand men, women, and children will embark on a mission to contact intelligent life and colonize undiscovered worlds beyond the known galaxy : Outbound Flight. But unknown to Master C'baoth, the successful launch of the mission is secretly being orchestrated by an unlikely ally: the evil Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, who has his own reasons for wanting Outbound Flight to move forward...and ultimately, to fail. Yet Darth Sidious is not the mission's most dangerous challenge. What begins as a peaceful Jedi mission is violently transformed into an all-out war for survival against staggering odds - and the most diabolical of adversaries. -- From container.
