Klappentext zu „Star Wars, Fate of the Jedi - Outcast “
Does a new start for the Galactic Alliance mark the beginning of the fall of the Jedi Order?After a violent civil war and the devastation wrought by the now fallen Darth Caedus, the Galactic Alliance is in crisis. From all corners, politicians, power brokers, and military leaders converge on Coruscant for a crucial summit to restore order and determine the future of their unified worlds. But even more critical, and far more uncertain, is the future of the Jedi.
In a shocking move, Chief of State Natasi Daala orders the arrest of Luke Skywalker for failing to prevent Jacen Solo s turn to the dark side and his subsequent reign of terror as a Sith Lord. But it s only the first blow in an anti-Jedi backlash fueled by a hostile government and suspicious public. Negotiating his freedom in exchange for his exile from the Jedi Order, Luke, with his son, Ben, at his side, sets out to unravel the shocking truth behind Jacen Solo s corruption and downfall. But the secrets Luke uncovers may bring his quest and life as he knows it to a sudden end. And all the while, another Jedi Knight, consumed by madness, is headed to Coruscant on a fearsome mission that could devastate the entire galaxy.

Chapter FiveCOME TO COURSE TWO-SIX-NINE.
Han, following his wife s directions, banked the Falcon around and headed toward the government district. Leia, in the copilot s seat, had her personal comlink to her ear.
The Falcon s comm board was alive with Coruscant Security and traffic monitors warning Han to return to designated ship traffic lanes or be subject to arrest. He growled and switched the thing to silent mode. They found him?
They found him. He s in an X-wing with a hole in the cockpit.
Armed?
Fifty fifty chance. It was in the Senate Building, so it s either a fully functional security vehicle or some Senator s unarmed memoriesof- youth vehicle. I m hoping for the second option.
Me, too.
Come to two-five-nine.
Nah. Han put the Falcon into a dive. His stomach fluttered, and the sensor screen filled up with tiny objects getting larger small- vehicle traffic at and below building-top level. Flashing down at terrifying and illegal speed, he twitched the controls right and left, nimbly dodging the much smaller civilian vehicles.
Han, what do you think
Then he was fully among them, streams of traffic above as well as below. He pulled out of his dive two hundred meters below the average height of the buildings.
you re doing?
This way, we re off the major sensor boards. Only vehicles with line of sight on us will complain.
I understand that. I mean, why not turn to two-five-nine?
His course changes are just to jerk us around, to confuse us. I know where he s going.
Where?
The spaceport, right at the edge of the government district. He stole a starfighter; that means he wants to make space. It s damaged, so he

can t. He needs another one. Right?
Right.
When it comes to piloting and pilots, I m all-knowing.
Leia put an artificial sweetness into her voice. I ll never argue with you again.
Han snorted and increased velocity. A Coruscant Security speeder following in his wake dropped back, left behind as though it were suddenly standing still.
Luke and Ben, in Ben s nimble red airspeeder, received the transmission with Han s guess about the spaceport.
Luke, at the controls, shook his head, not pleased. The spaceport, comparatively flat and built at a much lower altitude than the surrounding residential, business, and government zones, was not, as most supposed, actually situated at bedrock level. Below it were many levels of machinery, repair hangars, Empire-era emergency bunkers, spaceport employee facilities, and repair accesses.
If Han was right and Valin was headed that way, even if he was unsuccessful at stealing another spaceworthy vehicle he might escape into those subterranean regions, making it hard or impossible to find him before he detected his tracking device and destroyed it.
Their speeder emerged from the skytowers and was abruptly out over the flatter region surrounding the spaceport. It was mostly given over to speeder parking, though it had decorative elements, including tree-sp
