Plot summary
The story begins with Darth Vader presenting a hologram of a currently in-progress Death Star to an unimpressed Emperor Palpatine, who takes it with a "meh." After reminding Vader of the previous Death Star's destruction at the hands of Luke Skywalker four years prior, Palpatine suggests a Plan B. ("Dooku always had a Plan B," he tells his subordinates.) Vader informs him about the recent discovery of the Kyber Saber from the Jedi Archives, a powerful lightsaber that neither of them know the exact location of.

Somewhere in space, there is a battle between TIE fighters and X-Wings, their remains picked up by a ship dubbed the StarScavenger, piloted by Kordi Freemaker and her brothers Zander and Rowan. After collecting some materials, the battle eventually ends with Rowan, the compulsive, younger member of the trio, blowing up an MC80 star cruiser, further shunning him until the family of three returns to their space station, The Wheel. Their Aqualish landlord Furlac demands an extra day to pay their rent, and they are greeted by the family butler, R0-GR, or "Roger," who had been making cookies.

On Nal Kapok, Rowan is forced to stay behind with Roger watching over him. He spots stormtroopers investigating and falls down a hole with Roger in tow. There he is saved from a dianoga by a Jedi Master named Naare, who&mdash;like most of the survivors of Order 66, or the Jedi Purge in general&mdash;is living in exile. She explains that shortly before the formation of the Old Republic, a wise Jedi named Baird Kantoo formed a Kyber Saber which had the ability to destroy an entire planet, so Kantoo entrusted a secret league of Jedi to take the crystals away and hide them in plain sight so that no one would possess its power again. Rowan, having found the handle, is entrusted by Naare to find the Kyber Saber to use against the Empire.

Zander and Kordi are captured by stormtroopers after attempting to steal an engine from one of their transports. Fearing that they will be sent to the spice mines of Kessel as a punishment, Rowan saves them with an All Terrain Tactical Enforcer walker and introduces them to Naare. Zander is obviously smitten by her, and they ride back to the space station to further discuss the Kyber Saber, where her mind tricks save the Freemakers from getting evicted by Furlac.

Naare decides to take Rowan as her Padawan learner, explaining that he has an amazing ability to sense the crystals. The ever-overprotective Kordi disagrees with Naare, not wishing to see her brother's mind be filled with such stories until the Jedi convinces her with restoring peace. She then tells Rowan to get some rest for tomorrow, promising him a lightsaber to begin his training. Unbeknownst to Rowan, however, Naare is secretly a Dark Jedi employed by Vader and Sidious to find the crystals. In private, Sidious and Vader chastise her for attacking Imperial personnel. However, Naare convinces them that she needed to gain the boy's trust. She adds that she is able to consider alternatives if persuasion fails, before igniting a red-bladed lightsaber.
