Echoes in the Dark

Synopsis

In a galaxy striving for peace following a controversial alliance between Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and his redeemed father, Anakin Skywalker, operative Vala is dispatched on a critical mission. Her objective: to retrieve a powerful artifact known as the 'Cipher of the First Archive' from the ancient Archivist's Vault, located deep within the lawless Scarred Expanse. Forced into an uneasy partnership with Kaelen, a cynical survivor whose past is mysteriously intertwined with the Vault itself, Vala must navigate treacherous hyperspace routes and evade relentless pursuers who seek to undermine the fragile new order. Their infiltration of the Vault reveals the artifact's true nature – a key to immense knowledge and dangerous secrets capable of destabilizing the galaxy. The retrieval triggers the Vault's self-destruction, leading to a desperate escape and a confrontation with those determined to silence them. The mission unearths Kaelen's hidden lineage and the volatile power of the artifact, forcing Vala to confront her own mission parameters and her burgeoning trust in Kaelen as they carry the galaxy's volatile future back into the unknown.
