Keeve Trennis and Terec are made as Jedi after infiltrating the Nihil. Then Avar Kriss becomes obsessed with capturing Lourna Dee.
In The High Republic #9, Keeve Trennis and Terec went undercover to infiltrate the Nihil. The plan was going well until Zeetar, a Tempest Runner, insisted Keeve prove herself by murdering Myarga the Hutt, a former ally of the Jedi. The story resumes in issues ten through twelve as Keeve must find a way out of this predicament. Things only get more complicated when Lourna Dee, the presumed Eye of the Nihil, arrives and unleashes a new terror on the Jedi. Plus, Avar Kriss becomes obsessed with capturing Lourna and putting an end to the Nihil threat once and for all.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Keeve Trennis’s quick thinking when confronted with killing Myarga the Hutt,
- Myaraga’s revelation to the Nihil that Keeve and Terec are Jedi,
- The stresses facing Avar Kriss in her attempt to capture Lourna Dee,
- Master Sskeer’s secret is finally revealed and what it means for his future,
- The revelation of the Leveler,
- Avar Kriss’s plan to hunt down Lourna Dee, and
- Keeve and Sskeer’s decisions on whether to assist Avar Kriss.
