Star Wars: Knights of the New Republic VII: Exodus of Hope

Opening Scroll
''Two decades have passed since the bloody war between the Sith ruled Imperial Remnant and the fledgling Galactic Federation of Free Alliances was brought to its startling conclusion. With the death of the Dark Lord and the revolt within the ranks of his followers, Sith control of the Imperial government was finally thrown off and the remaining Sith Lords were forced to flee the victorious Jedi.''

''A new Jedi Council has formed, one much smaller, formed upon the pillar of intimate trust and collective wisdom of some few Jedi Masters. Still, following the tragic death of Chief of State Vin Antilles as he succumbed to a terminal disease, the former leader of the Exchange turned politician and military officer Turles Monn took office in a sweeping victory. His campaign built upon the promises of reconstruction, enhanced diplomacy, and greater freedoms for all those who live within the borders of the Galactic Alliance.''

''The Galaxy has seen an period of peace and prosperity that has come so rarely in its recent history, but perhaps it was too much. Most who lived through the decades of interminable conflict have passed on, taking the memories of their struggles to their graves. Those of the newest generation, those who come of age in a time of peace have lost the sense that there might still be dangers that lurk somewhere in the darkness between worlds. Not all Sith were accounted for at the end of the conflict. One, Darth Crucius, vanished seemingly without a trace while two more, Darth Jen'ari and Darth Caedes, were set free by the Jedi for assisting them in defeating the forces of their former master. To some they are just stories, tales told to frighten children into obedience but to those who still live to recall them after twenty years, they remain to this day a very real danger.''
