Plot
The story centers around Jedi Master Mace Windu. As he attempt to rescue his former padawan Depa Billaba from his homeworld of Haruun Kal. Caught up in the Summertime War, Mace found himself dealing with, among other things, the religious consequences of war and the toll it takes on people. However, he was too late to save the one person who was like a daughter to him. Lured to the Dark Side of the Force by Kar Vastor (the last of Gösh Windu, aside from Mace), Depa attacked and was defeated by her former master. Upon being returned to Coruscant, Billaba remained floating in bacta. Though her physical wounds would heal, she would remain in a comatose state until her end.
