On the verge of victory in a brutal war, five New Republic pilots transform from hunted to hunters in this epic STAR WARS adventure.

This prequel to BioWare''s science fantasy Action RPG introduces two gifted siblings struggling for survival in a world full of danger.From the video game developer that has defined roleplaying games with seminal franchises such as Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Baldur''s Gate, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic comes a world brimming with new heroes, new threats, and new stories. Yarrow--one of the brave warriors known as Freelancers who pilot powerful Javelin exosuits--rescues a lone boy, Kismet, from an ambush. With no family left alive, Kismet is placed with a family in Fort Tarsis, a human outpost surrounded by untamed wilderness. His adoptive sister, Jani, struggles with Kismet''s withdrawn personality at first, but over the years, the two become close friends. As they grow, Jani learns to fly and fight in Javelin armor, while Kismet trains to join the ranks of the mysterious Cyphers. The pair find themselves split, each pursuing their own craft of war, until an enemy force--large and vicious--appears on the horizon, bringing them together to face their ultimate test. They vowed to defend humanity, but can they protect each other?

In their hands rests the new hope that could turn the tide toward a crucial Rebellion victory-if only they can capture the plans to the Empire's new weapon. Waiting to herald the Empire's brutal reign with a burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star.

When orders come down for the rebels to fall back in the face of superior opposition numbers and firepower, Twilight reluctantly complies.
