ND-5 and Jaylen Vrax embark on their descent into the galaxy’s underworld in search of answers and opportunity, in this essential prequel to Star Wars Outlaws.

Jaylen Barsha, heir to his family’s immense power and wealth, had his life charted out for him neatly and meticulously by his parents, even though he suspected his neglected half-brother Sliro would be a better fit for the bright corporate future his parents envisioned. Then the Empire stripped it all away on trumped-up charges of conspiracy against his family. Before he can reach Sliro for help redeeming the Barsha name, a battle droid arrives at the family compound with a mission to kill every last member of the Barsha clan. Jaylen manages to fend off the attack as the sole survivor, but realizes the droid, who he reprograms, is his only chance to stay alive. But he can no longer be Jaylen Barsha—he’ll have to live now as Jaylen Vrax.

Former Separatist battle droid ND-5 knows he should be scrap metal, all things considered. He was a proficient contributor to the Separatist cause, but what is a soldier without a war? A trigger without aim? Loyalty is in his programming, and Jaylen, who treats him as more than just a weapon, has earned it. Perhaps, the droid thinks, with a partner he can be more. ND-5 just has to earn Jaylen’s trust.

With the threat against the Barsha clan still shrouded in mystery, the pair has no choice but to leverage the chaos and disappear. They find sanctuary in the anonymity of the underworld, building their reputation among scoundrels, bounty hunters, and crime syndicates. But when their latest score gives the first real clue in years to who sent ND-5 after Jaylen’s family, their biggest opportunity presents a new kind of risk. Do they give up this chance at the wealth and power Jaylen was denied to pursue answers? Or will ambition and the weight of the past shatter their unlikely partnership?

ND-5 und Jaylen Vrax begeben sich in diesem unverzichtbaren Prequel zu Star Wars Outlaws auf die Suche nach Antworten und Gelegenheiten in der Unterwelt der Galaxis.

Das Leben von Jaylen Barsha, dem Erben der immensen Macht und des Reichtums seiner Familie, wurde von seinen Eltern akribisch durchgeplant, obwohl er ahnte, dass sein vernachlässigter Halbbruder Sliro besser in die glänzende unternehmerische Zukunft passen würde, die seine Eltern vor Augen hatten. Dann raubte ihm das Imperium unter dem Vorwurf der Verschwörung gegen seine Familie alles. Bevor er Sliro um Hilfe bei der Wiederherstellung des Namens Barsha bitten kann, trifft ein Kampfdroide auf dem Familienanwesen ein, der den Auftrag hat, jedes letzte Mitglied des Barsha-Clans zu töten. Jaylen gelingt es, den Angriff als einziger Überlebender abzuwehren, aber er erkennt, dass der Droide, den er umprogrammiert, seine einzige Chance ist, am Leben zu bleiben. Aber er kann nicht länger Jaylen Barsha sein – er muss jetzt als Jaylen Vrax leben.

Der ehemalige Separatisten-Kampfdroide ND-5 weiß, dass er eigentlich Schrott sein sollte. Er war ein tüchtiger Mitstreiter für die Sache der Separatisten, aber was ist ein Soldat ohne einen Krieg? Ein Abzug ohne Ziel? Er ist auf Loyalität programmiert, und Jaylen, der ihn als mehr als nur eine Waffe behandelt, hat sie verdient. Vielleicht, denkt der Droide, kann er mit einem Partner mehr sein. ND-5 muss sich nur Jaylens Vertrauen verdienen.

Da die Bedrohung des Barsha-Clans noch immer im Dunkeln liegt, bleibt den beiden nichts anderes übrig, als das Chaos zu nutzen und zu verschwinden. Sie finden Zuflucht in der Anonymität der Unterwelt und bauen ihren Ruf unter Schurken, Kopfgeldjägern und Verbrechersyndikaten auf. Doch als ihr neuester Coup den ersten echten Hinweis seit Jahren auf denjenigen liefert, der ND-5 auf Jaylens Familie angesetzt hat, stellt ihre größte Chance eine neue Art von Risiko dar. Geben sie diese Chance auf den Reichtum und die Macht auf, die Jaylen verwehrt wurden, um Antworten zu finden? Oder werden Ehrgeiz und die Last der Vergangenheit ihre ungewöhnliche Partnerschaft erschüttern?

In this epic conclusion to?Star Wars: The High Republic, the Jedi face a final confrontation against the Nihil and Marchion Ro.

The Force is everything. A single life connected to all life. All things connected to all other things. This is what the Jedi believe, and this is why they fight. For life . . . and the light.

For too long, the light has been threatened by Marchion Ro, a sinister despot who will stop at nothing in his quest for power. The conflict with Ro and his marauding Nihil forces has left scars across the galaxy and held the Republic hostage. Countless lives have been lost, beacons of hope have fallen, and the collective courage and resolve of the Republic have been tested like never before. Through it all the Jedi Order has endured, an unwavering candle against the encroaching darkness.

But the Jedi have yet to solve the mystery of the Nameless creatures who feed on the Force. Ro has loosed them upon the galaxy, striking fear into the heart of even the most stalwart Jedi. And yet with every life saved and world freed from Nihil control, the all-consuming blight, which devours everything wherever it appears, threatens to wipe it all away.

Everything now depends on nine brave Jedi, led by Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann, who embark on a treacherous journey to the Nameless homeworld. Their quest: to finally solve the mystery of the Nameless and their connection to the Force, and to stop the blight before its damage becomes irreversible.

But a final confrontation with Marchion Ro awaits. Ro, who is willing to sacrifice everything he’s achieved to secure a final victory against the Jedi and carve his name into the very stars for all time.

Nothing less than the fate of everything, perhaps even the Force itself, is at stake.

In this pivotal prequel to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the heroes of the Resistance—Poe Dameron, General Leia Organa, Rey, and Finn—must fight back from the edge of oblivion.

The Resistance is in ruins. In the wake of their harrowing escape from Crait, what was once an army has been reduced to a handful of wounded heroes. Finn, Poe, Rey, Rose, Chewbacca, Leia Organa—their names are famous among the oppressed worlds they fight to liberate. But names can only get you so far, and Leia’s last desperate call for aid has gone unanswered.

From the jungles of Ryloth to the shipyards of Corellia, the shadow of the First Order looms large, and those with the bravery to face the darkness are scattered and isolated. If hope is to survive, the Resistance must journey throughout the galaxy, seeking out more leaders—including those who, in days gone by, helped a nascent rebellion topple an empire. Battles will be fought, alliances will be forged, and the Resistance will be reborn.
