Lesia Mirri never wanted to be a Jedi. The rules of the Code didn't sit well with her restless spirit. Lesia resisted their teachings and attempted to close herself off from the Force. In a final attempt to teach her, the Jedi Council assigned her to Master Ki Adi Mundi. During the final months of the Clone Wars, Lesia found herself growing close to her master and she became more open to what he had to say. When the Purge disrupted life as she had known it, Lesia was thrown headfirst into a lawless galaxy. Armed only with the little knowledge she'd bothered to learn, Lesia struggles to make a way for herself. Once, she had shunned the Jedi. Now, the galaxy needs them, needs her, more than ever.
The way of the Mandalore is not an easy path to follow, but it is all Nakoa Sen has ever known. As a child, he found himself being raised by a Mandalorian covert, one of the first who called themselves Children of the Watch. Nakoa later chose to venture into the galaxy as a bounty hunter, to provide for his new Clan. He stumbles across Lesia Mirri and eventually recruits her help for a mission. He quickly learns that while he devoutly follows his code, there are others who abhor rules of any kind. Nakoa soon finds himself wondering if he truly knows what path he wants to follow, and if he can actually break the code that his people hold so dear.

Survivor. Outcast. Fugitive.
Astera Lyell barely escaped Order 66 with her life. Now she's on the run, looking desperately for someplace to lay low, away from the Empire and the clones they used to murder her people. If only it were that easy.
When the Bad Batch shows up on Ord Mantell looking for work, Astera is forced to work with the clones she has learned to distrust and despise, hoping they will not recognise her and carry out the order their brothers had without hesitation.
But with them comes its own set of problems, from bounty hunters after the child they had brought with them to the Empire, hunted by one they once called brother. As she is drawn back further into the world she had tried so hard to leave behind, Astera finds it harder and harder to cling to the anger and hate that she was sure would ensure her survival, forming alliances and even friendships with the clones she had sworn to despise as they prove to be unlike their reg counterparts. She must learn to trust and rely on them again if there is any chance of them living against a relentless and ruthless Empire intent on seeing them all dead.
