1,447.7 years before the Battle of Yavin, it is the time of the Darksiders' resurgence as the New Sith Empire rises in opposition against the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic. The Sith have been staging "hit-and-run" attacks on the Republic capital world of Coruscant, quickly leaving shipyards and military bases crippled. The location of their secret strike base is unknown, and the Jedi have decided to seek out its location so as to neutralize it and hopefully cripple the Sith's military forces. Therefore the Jedi are hiring starpilots from all around the galaxy to seek out the base's location. However, the Sith are already aware of this plan and have dispatched a fleet of warships to hunt down these starpilots and destroy them before they find the base . . .
