The Clone Wars are over, but for those with reason to run from the new galactic Empire, the battle to survive has only just begun. … The Jedi have been decimated in the Great Purge, and the Republic has fallen.

The Jedi is the rock-lion at the gate who says, “I will defend these beings with my life, and that is the sum of me.” Etain Tur-Mukan died to save one life, a man she did not even know, but felt compelled to save, and that is what made her stronger in the Force and a truer Jedi than any of you acrobats, tricksters, and specious, empty philosophers.
    —Kina Ha, Jedi Knight; unsure of her exact age, but at least a thousand years old

    Only difference I can see is that they plan to end up with trillions dead, and you do-gooders manage it by accident.”
  • Михаил Черноморецhas quoted8 years ago
    Skirata could hear someone having a furious argument with General Zey, distant and muffled. But Zey was already dead, and that fact bothered him so much that he decided he had to be dreaming.
