![]() Despite Chancellor Mollo’s uneasy feeling Xiri, Roy and Enya head to Dalna in order to speak with The Mother directly and try to come to a peaceful conclusion, the injured Phan-tu sneaking aboard to help as well…Īxel Greylark, with one of Gella’s lightsabres, front and centre. After some interrogating and some trick questions Goi ends up revealing their affiliation with The Path, leading to Binnot burning Xiri with acid and stabbing Phan-tu on his way to escaping. ![]() ![]() These creatures and the fact they’re on the Gaze Electric are about the only real connection to Phase 1, but the Leveller and its kin are a key part! Binnot and Goi do their job and Roy and Enya join Xiri and Phan-tu in talking with them, the Jedi in particular assuming there was more to this than it seemed. The Mother has with her one of the ”Nameless” creatures, one she calls the “Leveller”. The Path on the other hand are rather annoyed as The Herald’s actions during the Battle of Jedha went too far and put The Mother’s life in danger, so an ambitious member called Binnot is more than happy to prove himself in his up-coming mission: going with fellow Path member Goi to the moon between Eiram and E’ronoh and pretending to be crashed couriers that “didn’t know” they were also carrying a deadly amount of a poisonous sludge that would ruin the ecosystem of Eiram, thus making Eiram suspicious that E’ronoh were trying to wipe them out for good and ensure the “Forever War” remains just that. So basically every character from the first book, Convergence, and the Battle of Jedha audio drama plus Yaddle and a few new ones are spurred into action! At the same time Jedi Master Char-Ryl-Roy and his Padawan Enya Keen head to Eiram and E’ronoh to try and keep the peace. A Jeda Master called Orin Darhga decides to go with her. Meanwhile after hearing what happened Gella Nattai decides to put her new goal of becoming a Jedi Wayseeker on hold and instead head to the prison facility on Pipyyr where her old ally / love interest-turned-traitorous Path member Axel Greylark is being held, hoping he might have some information. Yaddle, accompanied by her young Padawan Cippa, overhears the transmission and due to a faulty connection mishears Yoda and thinks he wants her to also investigate Dalna, so off she also goes. Yoda and Chancellor Greylark talk to the still-shaken Creighton Sun and Aida Forte on Jedha and agree to the duo investigating the Path’s main compound on Dalna, but only if they’re accompanied by two Chancellery guards called Lu Sweet and Priv Ittik. The books picks up right at the final moments of “The Battle of Jedha”, the keystone and mid-way point of Phase 2, as Eiram and E’ronoh’s heirs Phan-tu and Xiri see war breakout across the space between their two planets once again, brought on thanks to the actions of The Path of the Open Hand. I bemoaned that Phase 2 decided to go backwards into the past instead of continuing the Phase 1 storylines and characters, and while even at its end I don’t really see how it was necessary, given how much I enjoyed this book and the characters introduced across Phase 2 I’m happy it happened. ![]() Phase 2 of the High Republic comes to what can only be described as an “epic” conclusion with Cataclysm, a book that against all odds has become one of my favourites in the series. ![]()
