A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ...
Four years after the Battle of Endor, the struggle against the remnants of the Empire continues. A New Republic task force has been dispatched to the distant Kathol sector to topple rogue warlord Moff Sarne. During the battle, the New Republic discovers mysterious artifacts known as "DarkStryder technology."
