The Jedi Order and the Republic experience a golden age of progress. The Jedi begin to turn their attention outward under the leadership of the High Council and masters like Yoda. This period of relative peace permits the Jedi to explore farther into the remote frontier, in a quest to forge a deeper connection to the Force and the galaxy.

Republic Chancellors Kyong Greylark and Orlen Mollo expand the Republic farther into the frontier, paving the way for visionary Chancellor Lina Doh, more than a century later, to embark on her Great Works to inspire galactic unity. Yet Republic growth brings it into conflict - be it The Path of the Open Hand or, a century and a half later, with merciless Nihil raiders and the carnivorous Drengir. Master Avar Kriss leads the Jedi in their quest to restore peace, but the Eye of the Nihil, Marchion Ro, aims to bring down the entire Order.
