Wedge and his family are interrupted by a commotion outside when Corran Horn arrives and tells him that the Solos are nearby.  Wedge can tell speeders are heading their way and they evacuate.

The Solos and Lando return to their ship just as Corellian security arrives, but Corran and Wedge are also there in their X-Wings.

After a training session, Ben receives a datacard from another apprentice.  It’s from Jacen giving him a mission to retrieve an amulet that will allow a person to hide in the Force.  Jacen says to get it at all costs and kill anyone who tries to stop him.  In reality, Lumiya is behind the mission.

Once Ben goes missing, Jacen denies knowing where he is to Luke.  He promises to return Ben to them if he shows up.

Han and the others meet with Corran’s father in law, Booster Terrik.  They discuss the plan to put his ship, the Errant Venture, into Corellian space in the hopes that some of the patrons will become a little intoxicated and reveal information that may help their cause.  Leia is convinced Luke will also help put the plan into motion.

After failing to detect Alema’s presence, Jaina concludes that her target is probably Leia.  Spending so much time with Jag and Zekk has her thinking about the feelings she’s had for them and they for her.

Again in disguise, Lumiya communicates with Fyor Rodan of Commenor and again reveals all the information about their deceptive activity and gives them information that will help their cause.
Lumiya uses a Sith technique that allows her to infiltrate a mind on another planet and she controls the woman’s body to look for more information.  Inside a mental institution, Commander Klauskin is again visited by his dead wife and she tells him that everything he’s been told has been a trick and that Commenor and Bothawi will be joining the Corellians.  She has also unlocked the door to his hospital room.  She says that he’s been betrayed by the GA and guides him from the facility.

Ben reaches Drewwa on his mission to retrieve the jewel.  He meets a strange old woman and he uses a gentle Force push to put her in her place believing that’s what Jacen would have done.  He later realizes that his cred card is empty and is forced to steal another one.  He justifies it by saying that his mission is too important.  After getting supplies, he enters a building and masquerades as a delivery boy in order to access the area he needs, but he is disappointed to learn that the amulet is no longer there.  Someone had beaten him there and left a note behind saying it was taken by Faskus of Ziost.  Ben decides to follow the trail back to Ziost, a Sith homeworld.  After Ben leaves, a droid comes to life and transmits a message to a man named Dyur who is tracking Ben’s movements.

On a GA ship monitoring the Bothan system, Klauskin arrives and says they’ve been infiltrated and he is there to find the traitors.

After a week of set up, the Errant Venture is ready in Corellian space.  Han, Leia and the others meet and discuss that the true motives for this war have most likely not yet been revealed and perhaps there is a puppet master behind the scenes.  Iella Antilles wonders if the war was only to separate the Jedi, specifically the Solo’s and Skywalker’s and pit them against each other.  Elsewhere on the ship, Alema and Lavint come aboard.

Mara believes she’s been able to decode the datachip in Lumiya’s apartment.  The message has something to do with Ben and Jacen’s trip to an asteroid where Brisha and Nelani died and a supposed Dark Jedi lived.  Ben still does not remember most of the incident and she and Luke begin to wonder if Jacen is being influenced by a Sith and is not in control of his actions.
Klauskin decides to run a simulation from an auxiliary bridge with the Captain.  Once there, he kills the Captain and decompresses the entire ship killing everyone else on board.  He then contacts the Bothans and tells them their path is clear and the ship is waiting for them.

Luke and Mara head to the Errant Venture where they see Han and Leia for the first time in a long time.  The tension between them is gone now that they understand they are all working for the same cause.  Luke and Mara want to talk to Jacen who also is on board.

After being dismayed and seeing Lavint alive and well, Jacen meets with the Skywalkers.  They question him about the events on the asteroid where he recounts the duels he and Ben had with the evil Luke and Mara clones.  They determine that there must have been two other people there.  Luke and Mara believe Brisha was Lumiya’s daughter.  There is a huge surge in the Force and Jacen learns a huge fleet is coming in to attack.  The GA fleet is badly outnumbered when the Bothans arrive.

Still on the Errant Venture, they learn Commenor is also attacking.  They head out to defend the ship until it has time to jump to hyperspace.

Jacen regroups the fleet and tells them to focus all their firepower on Centerpoint Station despite some protests that there are many innocents on board.

After the Errant Venture escapes, Luke, Mara, and Corran enter the main battle.

On board the Anakin Solo, the retreat order is heard and they are to regroup at the rendezvous point.
