Opening crawl
STAR WARS THE HIGH REPUBLIC TRIALS OF THE JEDI
The Republic has launched a volley
of centuries-old EX DROIDS into the
OCCLUSION ZONE in an effort to
contact allies trapped behind the
STORMWALL. Two of the droids, which
possess old-fashioned hardware that
allows them to pass by NIHIL defenses
undetected, landed on the planet
ERIADU, which is currently occupied by
a warlord called THE WARDEN.
One of the droids was found by JEDI
KNIGHT QORT, who used it to share
information about his resistance
movement on the planet. As for the
second droid, nobody knows who may
have found it….
Plot summary

This article's plot summary is in need of attention. It may be missing or require expansion.

The initial preview for the issue depicts the Warden saying "What a lovely present. And its not even my birthday." when Driggit brings him the EX communication droid.[5] However, the line was later changed to say his "name day" instead.[1][2]
According to[6] the issue's penciller Valeria Favoccia,[1] one of the unidentified background Nihil was intended to be an Elomin. Favoccia explained that—aside from only being a background character—the design accuracy of the species was also limited due to the character's giant mask.[6]

The giant mask didn't give me much space to put the ears on show and also it was a background character so I didn't make them too detailed."
