Taking place in the year before ''The Phantom Menace'', the book will focus on the Episode I-era Jedi Council taking a, for all intents, road trip off Coruscant after urging from Qui-Gon Jinn to step out of the Jedi Temple and aid one person directly. With the recommendation from Senate advisors to close the historic Jedi Temple on Kwenn, the Jedi Council decide to visit the world and see the impact that the closure of other nearby outposts has had on the region. However, when Zilastra, the leader of a gang of pirates known as the Riftwalkers, learns of their presence on Kwenn, her vendetta against the Jedi Order sets her on a mission to annihilate the Jedi Council.

* {{Irony}}: Two examples of situational irony occur regarding the Jedi Council and its journey.
** Mace Windu is the one to propose that the Councilors go to Kwenn and meet its people but (due to being diverted investigating the disappearance of his former Padawan Depa) is one of the last to arrive there and spends most of his time there preparing for battle.
** In his last scene, Ki-Adi-Mundi has the biggest IgnoredEpiphany viewpoint about how the Council should conduct itself around others but is also the only Councilor to experience a nagging sensation that, based on their experiences on Kwenn, there might be other dangers that hide behind something so routine the Jedi overlook them (a perfect description of Palpatine), only for his more open-minded friend Yarael to dismiss the theory and convince him that ItsProbablyNothing.

Added DiffLines:

* TheCreon: Most pirate gangs experience regular leadership changes and have little loyalty amongst the lieutenants, but Zilastra's right-hand man, Burlug, once led their gang before voluntarily stepping aside after recognizing her greater talent and ambition. He serves her faithfully even when their plans go poorly or her choices clash with his own morals and desires.


Added DiffLines:

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Zilastra grew up in poverty, losing loved ones to various circumstances, and being surrounded by crime, becoming a brutal pirate. Depa is sympathetic to her circumstances but points out to Kylah that "All three of us came from this region[[note]]Although Depa was raised by the Jedi Order before experiencing as much as the other two[[/note]]. It didn't make either one of us turn out like her."
* LetThemDieHappy: [[spoiler: A local whom Yoda befriends asks him to deliver a med droid and some credits to his sick father, who idolizes the Jedi. Yoda does so and engages the old man in happy conversation until he dies, while carefully withholding any mention of how his beloved son is in the hospital with a serious wound after becoming involved with a crime syndicate to pay his father's medical bills.]]


Added DiffLines:

* SliceOfLife: Much of the book focuses on how the people of a once prosperous but now struggling planet live their lives, and how the Jedi can affect those lives in different ways than their usual KnightInShiningArmor heroics (like by providing counseling, repair services, and labor dispute resolution, looking for misplaced texts, or spending time with a dying old man).
* SmallNameBigEgo: ''[[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]]'' Lobber is a cocky pirate who delights in responsibility and getting to act smart, but he is a ButtMonkey and (according to his friends) KnowNothingKnowItAll (although he is ultimately more likable than most examples of the trope).
--> '''Wungo''' You're not the brains, and you're not the boss, Lobber. You're not anything. You're just ''louder''.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Zilastra is preparing to kill Depa Billaba when a Holonet News interview of Yaddle airs, and she is inspired to [[spoiler:go after the whole Jedi Council instead and rig a voice-activated bomb to blow up when Yaddle utters a phrase she mentioned the Councilors would utter at a later date during the interview.]] This plan, in turn, probably would have gone smoothly if not for [[spoiler:GuiltRiddenAccomplice Kylah alerting the other Jedi that Depa needs rescuing, allowing them to figure out Zilastra's plan once Depa and the others poll information.]]


Added DiffLines:

* UriahGambit: The Lobber, Ghor, and Wungo evoke so much EnragedByIdiocy sentiment from Zilastra that she keeps sending them on dangerous jobs where they are likely to be killed. When they keep surviving, she eventually gets so fed up that she prematurely arms the explosives she sends them to plant at a bureaucrat's office in the hope that by the time they find the place, the timer will count down and blow them up. [[spoiler:Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan figure out what is happening and save the trio, who then help them hijack Zilastra's dropship.]]
* WatchThePaintJob: During the final battle, Saesee ominously tells the {{Mook}}s he is facing that the vintage starfighter he arrived in is a loaner, and none of them had better dare scratch it. None of them do.

* AdaptationalComicRelief: With the exceptions of Depa Billaba, Oppo Rancisis, and Mace Windu (whose scenes are mostly serious) and the already eccentric Yoda, the Jedi Councilors get more whimsical or TheComicallySerious moments than in their ''Legends'' limelight appearances (or most of their prior Canon appearances, for that matter).



* ClothingConcealedInjury: PirateGirl Zilastra rarely takes off her gloves due to having had her hands surgically remade after they were blown off by a thermal detonator that she set off to kill her first Jedi.
