Prelude
After the New Republic Senate refused to hear Leia Organa Solo's pleas to fight the Yuuzhan Vong in Outer Rim Luke Skywalker called a meeting of the New Jedi Order on Yavin 4. After this meeting he sent most of the order out on missions to learn about the Yuuzhan Vong. After most of the order had been sent out Skywalker pulled aside Corran Horn and assigned to go with Ganner Rhysode to Bimmiel and find a missing Agamarian research team.

The Mission
When Rhysode and Horn's Ship arrived at Bimmiel they discovered that the satellite the xenoarchaeology would have used to communicate was damaged and given that a nearby pulsar would have made communications difficult and with the satellite damaged communication would have been impossible. After walking through the sand of Bimmiel for a while the duo unintentionally crossed a slashrat killing field. After holding of the slashrats for sometime they fled to a cave where the xenoarchaeology team had been hiding. After meeting the team they discovered that certain sites had been home to old jedi artifacts that had been stolen. After exploring deeper into the cave the leader of the team Dr.Pace showed Horn a strange group of bones they'd found which he immediately recognized as Yuuzhan Vong.

Worried that the Yuuzhan Vong had returned to returned for the body Corran and Ganner went out on a recon mission to see if the Yuuzhan Vong had indeed returned. It didn't take much for them to discover that the Yuuzhan Vong had returned. After discovering the Yuuzhan Vong had a way of keeping slashrats away Corran took samples of beetles only found at the Camp. After taking the samples Corran and Ganner saw two Yuuzhan Vong warriors appear and beat a slave to death. After the beatles were examined they found out they were releasing excess carbon dioxide that would destroy the planets eco-system. After this Corran suggested attracting slashrats to the camp and using bacteria to counter the release carbon dioxide, however, Dr.Pace wouldn't let them do it. Just after it was discovered two students Vil and Denna were missing, which convinced Dr.Pace that they had to give this plan a shot. Ganner and Corran went in to the Yuuzhan Vong camp and went to rescue them they found that they had been been tortured but not enslaved. They had been strapped to boards that kept them in constant pain and that release there grip a little thus Corran decided that the only way to get him out was to put himself in pain and transmit it through them. After the board released them the two Yuuzhan Vong warriors came back to the camp Corran told Ganner to leave and take the students to the Dalliance despite him being wounded from the pain he was inflicted through him on the students. He fought and easily killed the first Yuuzhan Vong. Then after a long fight with the second Horn was bitten by the Vong's amphistaff however the Yuuzhan Vong had been badly wounded and couldn't kill Horn however the venom slowly started to numb however as he was about to black out he summoned slashrats and told them to eat the Yuuzhan Vong he then blacked out. They against orders Ganner swung the Dalliance around picked Corran up and put him in a Bacta on borad which saved his life

Aftermath
Corran who had assumed himself to be dead when he blacked out woke up in a hospital days later. Corran's reports of jedi artifacts being on Bimmiel lead to an investigation in to them and where they went.
