15 years after the Empire's fall at the battle of Jakku, Justice for the Lost picks up the story where Resurgence left off. Having gained a foothold in enemy space, Big Boss' Army will need to establish new supply lines and seize key manufacturing systems from former Colonel Andral Escher, enigmatic operator of the hive mind of droids pulling the Remnant Empire's strings in this sector... not to mention the Imperial Remnant itself. In the Republic, a Chiss pirate threatens the hard earned peace by attacking centers of government and military installations with a growing armada of unknown and ancient origin. Believing her to be a student of their former mentor, Obbic'larr'amori (Clarra) enlists Big Boss' help in facing this new threat. And while Lady Erika takes care of unfinished family business, Jorgan and Frida resolve to rejoin the Army of the Sun in secret to rescue Master Rael from Nemo's clutches.
