Look away if you're allergic to SPOILERS, but otherwise see below for the summary. We normally don't post these here for the benefit of those wishing to avoid spoilers, but this one's pretty basic and doesn't really give anything away.


"Three and a half millennia before the Clone Wars, the Treaty of Coruscant has tabled an uneasy peace between the Galactic Republic and the reemerging Sith Empire. However, with new skirmishes becoming a regular occurrence, even on the relatively peaceful planet of Alderaan, the Jedi Order finds itself in an all too familiar position: protecting the Republic from a looming all-out war."
