In the year 14 BBY, the Galactic Empire has all but conquered the galaxy. The few star systems that stubbornly resist them are no match against the Empire's technological might. Yet they possess but one advantage the Empire doesn't: The Jedi. With the Empire believing those who would resist them have learned their lesson, some within the Rebellion's ranks, namely retired Clone Wars officers, Clone defectors, disgraced galactic Senators who spoke out against the Empire's tyranny, skilled pilots, smugglers, and surviving Jedi, relocated to the planet Dantooine. A Jedi master and his new Padawan stand in the war room, surrounded by their new allies. Mon Mothma, a longtime friend of the newly-trained Jedi and the de facto leader of the Rebel Alliance, approaches the table, displaying a holographic map of the galaxy.
