A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...<br/><br/>It was a dark time for the Republic.  Despite the peace and stability of late, the citizenry were not content.  The Outer Rim territories, while technically within the bounds of the Republic, were controlled by criminals in all but name.  The galactic corporations struggled against planetary governments for economic dominance.  Bureaucracy was thick with red tape as more and more factions demanded more and more representation.  And through it all, the Jedi Council was as tight-lipped as ever, giving little if any real guidance.<br/><br/>It was in this environment that Lyn Vek found herself, after her disillusion with the Jedi Order forced her to leave it.  Still on Coruscant but with no allies and limited resources, she had only one lead to follow: former Jedi Dalen Carinth, a Master gone rogue.  He was, it seemed, the only chance she had of finding guidance and training in a galaxy on the edge of turmoil.
