+'''Non-spoilery short description:'''
+<pre>~14 ABY, Leia is on a diplomatic mission when the kids are kidnapped. &nbsp;Elsewhere, Han and Luke are investigating reports of... something strange in the neighborhood of a black hole, as it were.</pre>
+'''Totally spoilery summary:'''
+<pre>&lt;table bgcolor=black border=0&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;So Leia's hanging out on Munto Cudro with Jaina, Jacen, Anakin, and Chewbacca, and the kids are kidnapped. &nbsp;The folks of Munto Cudro believe it's a local matter; apparently political ransom kidnappings are common there. &nbsp;Leia doesn't buy this, though, and ends up on a search to find them, eventually teaming up with Rillao who she meets in a derelict slave hibernation ship.
+Han and Luke are at Crseih Station near a black hole/crystal star pair, on one hand to investigate some mysterious messages they've been getting; on the other hand to get some vacation if the intel is bogus. &nbsp;Turns out the messages are from Han's old flame Xaverri. &nbsp;There's a weirdass mancreaturething Waru there who has a nice cult for himself. &nbsp;People come to be healed; some are, while others are crushed. &nbsp;He doesn't seem to be using the Force, though. &nbsp;In fact, being in the area is seeming to stunt Luke's Force abilities, and it's leaving him pretty weak and crabby.
+The kids have been stolen by Hethrir, a man who leads Empire Reborn. &nbsp;He's been kidnapping all sorts of Force-sensitive youngsters and putting them through his forced education program trying to breed himself a group of powerful loyal followers. &nbsp;Jaina and Jacen don't take this well, and though their abilities are mostly being suppressed by Hethrir are eventually able to escape... somewhat. &nbsp;They're on a little mobile world, so all they can really do is keep on the run. &nbsp;Elsewhere Anakin is being cared for by a Force-insensitive youth Tigris who's sort of like a personal servant to Hethrir. &nbsp;The three of them are off planet during these escape escapades; they're headed to Crseih Station.
+Leia and Rillao rescue Jaina, Jacen, and the other kids, and head off to Crseih. &nbsp;Turns out Tigris is Rillao's kid. &nbsp;She's a Jedi, though he hasn't the power. &nbsp;Well... darkish Jedi, I guess; seems to have been a bit of a side project for Vader, but she wasn't so bad.
+All the paths meet up on Crseih. &nbsp;Turns out Waru was a being from another dimension, summoned forth by Hethrir. &nbsp;He has... anti-Force abilities, and his killing/healing of people is his power to redistribute people's Force. &nbsp;Hethrir wants him to transfer Anakin's powers to himself, and in exchange will help Waru return from where he came. &nbsp;Hethrir was the Emperor's Procurator of Justice, another Vader project, mate of Rillao and father to Tigris, unbeknownst to the latter. &nbsp;In short, the good guys stop the bad guys. &nbsp;Tigris is pretty brainwashed into thinking Hethrir was pretty great, though, so he's a bit pissed.
+The crystal star is getting pulled into the black hole and is going to blow, so everyone gets to evacuating. &nbsp;R2-D2 uses Crseih Station's hyperdrive whachamajiggers to send it off to New Republic territory.
+&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</pre>
