No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
With the Jedi all but wiped out in the grim aftermath of Order 66, the Empireβs power seems unchecked. But one lone Knight continues to fight the good fightβagainst all odds and when all else fails.
Deep in the bowels of Coruscant, Jedi Jax Pavan ekes out a living as a private investigator, a go-to, can-do guy for the downtrodden. Now a mysterious Zeltron knockout named Deejah approaches Jax with a case that needs to be cracked: to find out who killed her artist lover Volette, brutally murdered hours after his triumphant unveiling of a dazzling new light sculpture with obvious links to lightsaber pyrotechnics.
Finding Voletteβs killer wonβt be easyβtoo many secrets, too many suspects, and all kinds of motives. But with the droid I-5YQβs help, and ex-reporter Den Dhurβs excellent snooping skills, the investigation is soon operating like a well-oiled machine.
Unfortunately, thereβs a far more efficient machine...
