Opening crawl[]

STAR WARS
THE HIGH REPUBLIC
TRIALS OF THE JEDI

The final confrontation between the
Jedi and the Nihil looms. The valiant Jedi
are spread thin as they are put to the
ultimate test on three separate fronts.

Some rally against NIHIL MARAUDERS
who plan to punish the planet ERIADU
for its resistance to their rule. A brave
few struggle to stop the mysterious
BLIGHT, an infection moving from
planet to planet, draining worlds of
life. And others battle the sinister
MARCHION RO and his monstrous
NAMELESS CREATURES.

To save the Republic, the Jedi will face
their fears in their most daunting
challenges yet. If they fail on just one
of these battlefronts, the wave of
darkness will extinguish the light of the
Jedi forever….
