...2 years have passed since the battle of Kashyyk and the galaxy remains in turmoil. The Republic and the GSF have clashed on many worlds...
and Sith Lords ruthlessley hunt down Jedi throughout the Galaxy...

Following the successful campaign to liberate Kashyyk, Ekken Sordona(formerly Darth Rin) had come face to face with Darth Archeron, who showed him that he was once Dark Lord of the Sith.
Ekken reclaimed the mantle of Darth Rin, confirming the fears of many jedi, including Rann Sordona.
The Grand Sith Federation has seemingly gained the upper hand and the future looks bleak for the New Republic.
The New Republic has only one chance to defeat the GSF. They must locate and destroy the Star Forge, before it is completed into the super weapon that Darth Archeron and Darth Rin seek to create...

Rann Sordona walked up the landing ramp of the
Talon II and looked back at the Jedi Enclave.
Nahlia Aalto and Cyrus Stone stood at his side. Each knew thier mission: Locate the star forge at any cost. Orlo Voscag's massive spynets would be updating thier information constantly, but the first place they had to look...Korriban. The belly of the GSF beast.

"Engines are primed, Rann" Nahlia said.
"Set coordinates for Korriban" Rann replied.
"Korriban? I still can't believe were going through with this, thats the place where those GSF hounds are trained." Cyrus said, setting his helmet on a chair in the cockpit and standing with his arms folded.
"I guess they won't be looking for you there" Cyrus finished.
"No. We're going to give us to them." Rann said as the
Talon II left the Bespin atmosphere.
Cyrus laughed.
"I had heard that about you, Sordona." Cyrus said.
"Heard what?" Rann asked.

Talon II blasted into hyperspace...
