Invasion of Yavin 4

During the Battle of the Jedi Praxeum in 26 ABY, the Peace Brigade learned of the location of Skywalker’s Jedi Praxeum and (desiring to collect the galaxy-wide bounty on Jedi called for by Tsavong Lah) attacked the Jedi training site. The Peace Brigade victory was partially due to the fact that the New Republic was unwilling to provide aid for the Jedi. The destruction of the "heretic Jeedai" provided a large morale boost to the Yuuzhan Vong.

Meanwhile, Anakin Solo, despite his uncle Luke Skywalker's disapproval, decided to go on a rescue mission to the Jedi Praxeum since he had been haunted by nightmares of his childhood friend Tahiri Veila suffering at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong. Upon arrival in the Yavin system, he discovers the presence of a small Peace Brigade fleet. Arriving in the Yavin System, Anakin finds a Peace Brigade vessel already in Yavin 4's orbit, scouting the place out.

Having escaped the fleet, he manages to land at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4. There, he finds Kam, Tionne Solusar and his former mentor Ikrit guarding the Jedi children. While Kam and Tionne begin hiding the children, Ikrit and Anakin creat a diversion for the landing Brigade forces. When the Peace Brigade began attacking the Praxeum, Anakin and Tahiri became separated from the rest of the group and went back to rescue Ikrit, Valin Hornand Sannah.

Meanwhile in space, Talon Karrde's Wild Karrde arrived along with his personal fleet and "offered" to help the Peace Brigade capture the Jedi. Back on Yavin 4, Anakin managed to get the other two Jedi into a hijacked Brigade freighter along with the freighter's pilot Renis Vehn, while Ikrit went back to stop the advancing Brigaders. Unfortunately, the simian Jedi Master is slain while trying to defend the Jedi apprentices and Tahiri is captured by the Peace Brigade and handed over to the Yuuzhan Vong. Luckily for the Jedi, Karrde and his crew double-crossed the Brigaders and managed to get the Jedi children along with Tionne and Kam into the Wild Karrde.

Meanwhile, the stolen freighter carrying Anakin Solo,Valin Horn, Sannah and the hostage Brigader pilot Remis Vehn is shot down and crashes deep in the jungle. In response, Anakin began to lead a salvage mission to repair the ship so they could flee the planet. During that time, he began to blame himself for Chewbacca's death at Sernpidal and the disastrous Battle of Fondor. However, his X-wingWhile all this was happening, the Yuuzhan Vong entered the system to take captive the Jedi that the Peace Brigade promised. However, the Jedi trainees managed to escape on Karrde's fleet and arrived on Coruscant while Karrde and Kam stayed back to look for Anakin and the others.

As Anakin and the others left the destroyed ship, Anakin began to blame the accident on himself as he had with Chewbacca's death and the Centerpoint incident. His XY X-Wing's astromech droid Fiver also went on a rescue mission to find them. The next morning Anakin was jarred awake by a bedraggled old man who introduced himself to the youngest Solo as Qorl. Anakin instantly recognized the old Imperial pilot from stories his older siblings had told him.

Anakin took to Qorl immediately and put him in charge of protecting Valin and Sannah, keeping a watch on Vehn, and coordinating the repair of the damaged freighter, while he set out to rescue Tahiri from her captivity by the Vong on the moon. He would then discover that the Jedi Praxeum had been flattened by a damutek and that the Yuuzhan Vong had established a base. Meanwhile, the Master Shaper Mezhan Kwaad and her apprentice Nen Yim began performing experiments on Tahiri to turn her into a Yuuzhan Vong. During that mission, he had to infiltrate the base as a slave and with the help of a Shamed One named Vua Rapuung, he rescued Tahiri. Unfortunately, Vua Rapuung was slain though Anakin and Tahiri managed to escaped along with Qorl and the others on the repaired freighter.
