Because Han is able to speak the Wookee language, the heroes learn that Leia is imprisoned at the Mavassi outpost, an Imperial camp. Han and Skywalker take jetsticks and locate Annikin, Artwo and the Wookees. Meanwhile, after fighting Jommillia, Annikin is accepted by the tribe. As this is going on, everyone but Leia has gathered at the home of two anthropologists named Owen and Beru Lars. The trappers are routed, and one of the Wookees, Chewbacca, carries Annikin, who has been wounded in the fight, to his tribe's settlement. They find a group of Yourellian trappers trying to capture Wookees. Artwo and Annikin set out from their pod, looking for the others. The pods fall into the jungle planet of Yavin, home of the Wookees. Everyone climbs into life pods and they eject the wreck.
Unfortunately, their ship is critically damaged. The ship eludes the enemy by entering an asteroid field, and passing through into one of the Forbidden Systems. They take off, but are pursued by Imperial craft. This proves as only a minor setback, as they succeed in overpowering their guards, leaving the ship and taking an Imperial starship. The heroes are subdued and taken prisoner, and they are thrown into a cell. The captain is none other than Valorum, one of the Sith Knights. Kane sacrifices one from his own mechanical chest, giving up his life. It is decided to that to leave Aquilae they will have to escape on a Baltarian freighter, but a power source is needed for the microcases that will hold the young princes in hibernation to avoid detection. Outside the cantina, they encounter Han Solo, and in the slums, Kane. At Gordon, the heroes are embroiled in a fracas in a cantina. Luke, Annikin, and the royal children, including Leia's younger brothers Biggs and Windy, disguise themselves and leave for Gordon. They regroup at a hidden entrance to the royal fortress, and the Queen decides to send for help from the Ophuchi system. The two droids encounter Annikin and Leia returning from the Academy in the desert. Simultaneously, King Kayos is killed by an Imperial ambush, and the Senate of Aquilae sues for peace. Without a puppet ruler, he explains, the Empire would get no cooperation stealing the biotic secrets of Aquilae. Hoedaack tells Darth Vader that it is crucial to capture one of the royal family in order to control the planet, since its people have been ruled by them for 10,000 years. It transpires that the real reason for the invasion is the Aquilaean facility with genetics and biology, including cloning. The fortress is assaulted and damaged, and two droids aboard, C-3PO and R2-D2, prematurely evacuate, landing their lifepod in the Jundland Wastes. Annikin is sent to the Academy to secure the princess. When the wounded Clieg Whitsun, one of the spies from Alderaan, arrives to warn the Aquilaeans of the Empire's plans of conquest, a decision is quickly made to resist. Kane goes to Gordon, a seedy starport, to meet with his friend Han Solo, a Ureallian. The king leaves for Amsel to meet with his Senate and determine whether to go to war with the Empire. Not long after princess Leia, Kayos's daughter, leaves for Yuell to study at the Chatos Academy, a huge space fortress enters the Aquilaean system. Because of this, he believes that he cannot adequately train his remaining son, and asks Skywalker to train him as a padawaan learner. Kane reveals to his friend the extent of his cybernetic replacements-only his head and arm remain flesh. Kane reunites with a fellow Jedi, Luke Skywalker, now a General in the Aquilaean military. Meanwhile, Kane and Annikin arrive at Aquilae and contact the royal government at their Underground Fortress. Spies on Alderaan, the gas giant capital of the Empire, leave to bring news of this to Aquilae's leadership. Unfortunately, even as the Jedi arrive in system, the Galactic Emperor, Cos Dashit, plots with his advisors to annex it, one of the last of the Independent Systems. Aquilae, a planet not yet controlled by the Empire, is ruled by the wise King Kayos and Queen Breha. It is clear that the exiles must flee the Kessil system and they leave for their homeworld of Aquilae. Their foe is no match, however, for a Jedi Master, and Kane avenges his apprentice. The Jedi and his sons go to investigate, but the Sith gets a jump on them, killing Deak with a single blow. Their seclusion from the forces of the Galactic Empire is interrupted by the arrival of a Sith flying a Banta Four starfighter. The Jedi Kane Starkiller and his two sons, Deak and Annikin Starkiller, live on the Fourth Moon of Utapau.
To the farthest reaches of the GREAT RIFT.
