During the High Republic era, Orla Jareni studies the ways of the Force under the guidance of the Jedi Order. Jedi Master Laret Soveral selects Jareni as her Padawan learner.

Jareni, along with three other Jedi, journeys to the Starlight Beacon space station in the Outer Rim Territories. When debris from the Great Disaster blocks the hyperspace lanes, their transport ship becomes stranded in deep space.
