Outbound Flight (Star Wars)

Acclaimed science fiction author Timothy Zahn is back with another installment in his Star Wars series. In "Outbound Flight," the Clone Wars have yet to erupt, and Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth has successfully petitioned the Senate to allow a group, including Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, to set out on a mission to contact intelligent life and colonize undiscovered worlds beyond the known galaxy. However, the evil Sith Lord, Darth Sidious is pulling strings to make sure the expedition fails, and more disastrously, the starship crosses paths with the evil Chiss Ascendancy and their leader "Thrawn," and what results is an all-out war for survival against all odds.
