As the Galactic Alliance tries to centralize its power in the galaxy, newly rebellious worlds stand against them! Can the Jedi and the Alliance work together to stabilize the government, or will the growing darkness envelop the galaxy completely? Join the Legendary Adventures as we start to read the Legacy of the Force series, starting with Betrayal!
The newly reformed Jedi Order, headed by Grand Master Luke Skywalker, stands strong in the galaxy. After fighting against the Dark Nest, and learning the full history of Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker leads with a new vision for the Jedi and the galaxy. His son, Ben Skywalker, stands wary of the Force, and is guided by his new Jedi teacher, Jacen Solo. Unbeknownst to Luke, Jacen Solo has been thinking differently about the Force than the Jedi have, as he was taught by Vergere, a former Jedi, and has been using the Dark Side of the Force in general. But Luke cannot sense that as something seemingly more devious has been haunting his visions and his dreams. A Sith Lord upon a throne plagues his visions, and he feels a greater darkness growing within the Galactic Alliance itself.
The Galactic Alliance, fresh from the border crisis between the Chiss and the Killiks, and after reforming after the devastating Yuuzhan Vong invasion, is now centralizing power across the galaxy. Under the leadership of Cal Omas, the Alliance seeks to both rein in planets within the government and bring more planets into the Alliance. Unfortunately, they meet stiff resistance. Ben and Jacen uncover illegal missile production on Adumar, bringing a report to the Alliance afterwards. The planet Corellia is also bristling against the growing power of the Alliance, seeking to maintain its own sovereignty and power. Thracken Sal-Solo, family to Han Solo, leads the charge against the Alliance, hoping to rule Corellia. He does so by brandishing the destructive power of the Centerpoint Station, a recently reawakened super weapon used against the Vong in the war with disastrous results. Cal meets with the Corellians to try and dissuade them, but finds harsh resistance. Even Han Solo, former Rebellion general, finds himself standing with Corellia. A second galactic civil war reigns and threatens the galaxy.
But the biggest threat may not be the future Sith Luke fears, nor is it the growing Corellian crisis. The greatest danger may sit at the heart of the Jedi itself: Jacen Solo. After discovering an artifact filled with prophetic runes, Jacen is drawn to the planet Lorrd. There, a series of rash incidents involving the Jedi all seem to target Jacen himself. He investigates, finding a Force-sensitive woman known as Brisha Syo. Brisha works to separate Jacen from Ben, and when finally separated, she reveals herself as the Sith Lady Lumiya. Lumiya was once known as Shira Brie, a pilot in the Rebellion who was seemingly killed in action. She returned to Luke as Lumiya, seeking to kill him with a lightwhip. Luke created a shoto blade to beat her, thinking her to be dead after their confrontation. Instead, she and Vergere turned fully to the Sith and orchestrated a grand plan to revive the Sith Order to the fullest power in the galaxy. Lumiya reveals the power of the Dark Side to Jacen, tempting him with greatness. One such offer is the chance to end the Corellian crisis quickly, putting himself in charge and helping the Alliance grow under his own leadership. This offer intrigues Jacen, who starts to turn toward the Dark Side and its offer of power. Reunited with Ben Skywalker, a newly changed Jacen starts to figure out how he could bring his will to the galaxy.
But bloodlines run deep, and the galactic crisis doesn’t just affect the Alliance or the Corellians. Remnants of a lost war, clone troopers, and Mandalorian supercommandos find themselves pulled into the very same crisis…
