Into the Unknown
For centuries, in a protected vault in the great library of Ossus, the captured Sith Holocron closely guarded its legends and histories. Until now... Five millennia before the birth of Luke Skywalker and fall of Palpatine's Empire, a thousand years before Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma joined forces in a sweeping conflagration known as the Sith War, the Old Republic was riding high and expanding. It was a time when the great Jedi Knights had tamed a mere portion of the galaxy, a time of rugged frontiers -- colony worlds were being established, while vast portions of space remained unexplored. Long-distance travel was often treacherous and uncertain. Each year, new hyperspace paths were mapped by intrepid, hyperspace explorers, who sought useful roadways through an incomprehensible dimension. These intrepid risk-takers (some called them crazy) relied on blind luck as much as skill, gambling everything in a high-stakes game to map a valuable new route across the star lanes, hoping to find their fortune... instead of their deaths.
