During a briefing on the creation of the second Death Star seen in Return of the Jedi, Darth Vader explains to an unimpressed Darth Sidious that they have come across information in the Jedi Archives regarding the mysterious Kyber Saber. Elsewhere, a battle between Imperial and Rebellion forces is capitalized on by the Freemaker family of ship salvagers, who collect parts from the destroyed vessels until youngest boy Rowan inadvertently destroys an Imperial transport. Returning to their home of the Wheel space station, the three find themselves in urgent need of a completed ship to sell in order to pay off their landlord Furlac, and head to a planet on which a Clone Wars battle took place in order to find a needed part to repair one of Zander's "Z-Wings." Despite being told to stay on the Star Scavenger with Roger the salvaged battle droid, Rowan leaves the ship to warn his siblings Zander and Kordi of stormtrooper activity in the area only to experience a strange call that leads him to the handle of the Kyber Saber. He is then greeted by Naare, who explains that the Kyber Saber is the first lightsaber and was broken and scattered in order to keep its vast powers out of evil hands. The pair then work together to rescue Kordi and Zander from the Imperials, and Naare accompanies the Freemakers back to the Wheel where she uses the Force to get Furlac off their back for the time being before he can throw them out for not paying their rent while also renting a shop on the station for her own use. Unbeknownst to the Freemakers, however, their new "ally" is a Sith in the employ of the Emperor, who seeks to help Rowan master his newfound connection to the Force only so that she can recover the fragments of the Kyber Saber for her master..
