It has been almost thirty-six years since the First Galactic Civil War, twenty-one years since the Yuuzhan Vong War, fourteen years since the Swarm War, and nine years since the Second Galactic Civil War. Ever since the Liberation of Coruscant, the number of casualties was estimated to be billions. 12 billion were injured and 3 million were killed by the deadly clouds—massive clouds of ash, toxic smoke, and poisonous gas that were trapped in the lower levels of Coruscant.
Wynn Dorvan and large number of Senators from various worlds and systems reformed the provisional government for the Galactic Alliance. Since Dorvan was the only one in the Senate to deal with terrible situation on Coruscant, many citizens, who were anti-Jedi, blamed the Jedi for this damage rather than the Sith. While those still stood on the Jedi's side and blamed the Sith as the actual ones for starting this, Grand Master Luke Skywalker, the son of the Chosen One Anakin Skywalker who had died during the battle of Endor to save his son from Darth Sidious and became one with the Force, made his announcement to the whole public and HoloNet News that he agreed to Senate's wish to remove him and the Jedi from Coruscant. Since it was fair for what the inhabitants of Coruscant decided to do despite the large number of votes, Luke Skywalker led his Jedi to Shedu Maad and discovered a Jedi Temple on the planet.
But for the last ten years, the New Jedi Order, Galactic Alliance, and Confederation had remained under separate terms and took time to recover. No one knows how long it would take for the Alliance to ever ask for the Jedi's assistance. After Wynn Dorvan was done as the Chief of State in 55 ABY, Lanever Villecham, a Senator who represented his system in the Senate, took his mantle and decided that Hosnian Prime, which was located in the Hosnian System, would serve as the Alliance's main capital while Coruscant was taking time to heal from the terrible devastation that had happened almost six years ago.
While the Galactic Alliance continued to operate under Villecham's rule and focused on improving a number of trade relations in neutral systems at the Chief's request, Jagged Fel, known in the galaxy to be hero and dedicated to a life of military service, had recently been the Head of State of the Imperial Remnant. Now, he has become the first Emperor of the newly formed Fel Empire, ruling as the first of the Fel dynasty. Married to Jaina Solo, who was the daughter of Leia Organa and Han Solo, Jag recently had a five year old son who was born in 45 ABY. The couple named their son "Jacen" in the name of Jacen Solo, who was the twin brother of Jaina and had recently became Darth Caedus until he returned to the light and became one with the Force.
Now that the Fel Empire chose Bastion as their additional capital, the Confederation began to view that newly formed government as a threat. Denjax Teppler, now the President of the Confederation, kept his eyes open on the Fel Empire and made sure that nothing would dare happen since the Unification Summit that was held on Coruscant almost seven years ago. However, the Confederation soon became involved in a new conflict with the First Order, a government that had recently emerged from the Unknown Regions and started an all-out war. While Chief Villecham did not consider the First Order as a threat, Denjax and the Confederation urged that the Alliance to take the threat of the First Order seriously once it arose. However, several senators in the Galactic Alliance Senate, who were known Centrists, considered Denjax as a warmonger while the Populists feared what the First Order would do and argue.
The Fel Empire was undetermined on what to do in the situation at hand. When Leia Organa contacted Jag to convince him to help aid the Confederation, Jaina had recently established the Fel Knights and agreed to help her mother in facing the First Order while her husband decided to form a meeting with the Moffs. Since most Fel Knight had to stay behind and look after their Emperor and heir, Jaina led only a few Knights to venture from Bastion to Corellia, the Confederation's current capital.
Also, the New Jedi Order was contacted by Senator Charr to assist in this situation. While members of the Jedi Council were undetermined as well and did not know much of the First Order's true motives, Luke Skywalker, had a vision of the Order been wiped out by the First Order, and decided to agree in providing his support. While Kyle Katan, Octa Ramis, and Clighal remained undetermined, Leia Organa, Tash Arranda, Zak Arranda, Kyp Durron, Corran Horn, Ken, Kam Solusar, Tionne Solusar, Tyria Sarkin Tainer, and Tahiri Veila were among the ten Council members that were dispatched by the Grand Master to travel to Corellia and bring more than twelve Jedi Knights. The Jedi Knights that accompanied them were Lowbacca, Avinoam Arelis, Dordi, Yantahar Bwua'tu, Seha Dorvald, Madurrin, Shul Vaal, Tekli, Izal Waz, Wonetun, Ben Skywalker, and Vestara Khai Skywalker.
Vestara Khai, a former Sith Saber, was married to Ben Skywalker ever since she was given another chance to condemn her mistakes as a Sith. Now a fully-trained Jedi Knight and champion of the light side, Vestara never felt so proud and happy since she now had a new family, but the one thing she was more happy about that she was pregnant with her and Ben's child. Since she went to Corellia while she was still pregnant and would soon give birth to her child, her husband tried to consider for her to stay on Shedu Maad and let someone else take her place.
Emerging out of hyperspace, a Lambda-class T-4a shuttle approaches Corellia's orbit. Onboard the shuttle was Jaina Solo, along with a few Fel Knights that were apprenticed to her. Among the three were Anyul, Yasvan, and Revar, who were once Sith Sabers from the Lost Tribe of the Sith. The only pilot that flew the shuttle was Bas. Jaina walked over to join him.
"My lady, we're making our final approach into Corellia," Bas informed his Empress.
"Very good, colonel," Jaina applied. "Send word to General Organa that we'll be arriving soon."
"Yes, my lady," Bas complied.
"There's no chance in turning back now," Jaina murmured to herself.
