Star Wars: Knights of the New Republic VI: A Dawn of Reckoning

Opening Scroll
''Three long years have passed since the attacks on Coruscant, the first an effort to liberate, the second a gamble to conquer. The Galaxy has become embroiled in a conflict far more relentless and violent than before as the ruthless Darth Perus, true Lord of the Sith, along with his most loyal servants, Darth Sicarius and Darth Jen'ari, has pushed his Imperial war machine against the superior might of the new Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, and with control of Kuat has built a formidable armada.''

''The Galactic Alliance, headed by Chief of State Vin Antilles and led in war by Jedi Battlemaster Janus Mythal has pushed back the encroaching Imperial fleets on numerous fronts. The Jedi Order, under the leadership of Grandmaster Lyn Secura has stepped forward to take an ever more active role against the Sith and their growing Empire, many Jedi Knights taking the roles of Generals within the Alliance Starfleet.''

''And beneath these monumental battles between the forces of good and evil lies another conflict that threatens the Galaxy. The crime lords Turles Monn of the Exchange and Car'za Hacam of the Black Sun have engaged one another in a shadow war for control of the criminal underworld, while the Trade Federation has regained its legitimacy under the command of the new Viceroy, Vincent Flagg and set out to wrest control of Galactic commerce from the hands of the crime syndicates through any means necessary.''
