Coruscant falls to Vong; is renamed Yuuzan'tar and its surface reshaped. Borsk Feyl'ya finally gets killed as he deserves: meaninglessly and symbolically.

Lando Calrissian begins to develop and sell the YVH hunter robots-- droids that, against the normal restrictions set in place ever since the Clone Wars, can fight in combat, and are tough enough to fight the Vong head-to-head

Jacen Solo comes into contact with the worldbrain destined to oversee final shaping of Coruscant. Vergere begins to instruct Jacen in what she has learnt about the Force while away from the galaxy.

Ganner Rhysode dies in last stand as Jacen subverts the worldbrain; his name and challenge 'None shall pass' become a legend among the Vong, fuelling the Jeedai Heresy.

Jaina Solo begins to build a reputation as the incarnation of the Vong trickster goddess. Wedge Antilles ordered to make a last stand on Borleias; by interpreting his orders liberally, he defeats three forays and kills a warmaster, sacrificing his old flagship, the SSD Lusankya, as he does so.

Extermination of Yevetha by Vong. Ssi-ruuvi empire overthrown by their servitors.

Zonoma Sekot found. It is indeed a living planet, and furthermore aware of and strong in the Force; however, it does not subscribe to the concepts of Light and Dark, existing instead within the Unifying Force.

Three Vong agents land on Zonoma Sekot; one sabotages its hyperdrive, one finally understands what Zonoma Sekot is but dies, and the third,a priest of the trickster goddess, becomes the first Vong convert.

The Jedi come to understand the true nature of the Force and the Vong, assisted by Sekot, the offspring of the Vong's original home planet, which banished the Vong for their warlike natures and was in turn destroyed by them.

The 'Force' as known by the Jedi is only the 'Living' Force; the Force that conscious beings use and touch. The perceptions of that Force are limited by mortal understanding, and thus the mortals, perhaps unwilling to accept their moral burden, impute their natures onto the Force, calling it of light and dark when the light and dark lie within themselves.

Jedi Academy's new location may be Ossus.

The Force is not light or dark; the Force is the tool by which _to_ balance light and dark.
