After the youngsters beg him to return for SM-33 earlier than taking off, we study definitively that Nawood is in actual fact Captain Silvo, the masked pirate who did not ship to his crew within the opening sequence of episode 1. This explains why Nawood was within the brig to start with. As soon as Nawood returns to the kids on their ship, they set off towards an previous acquaintance of his – somebody he believes will help them discover At Attin.
This somebody is an owl-like creature named Kh’ymm, who seems to be working at a New Republic outpost. She doesn’t appear to belief Nawood both, although she is aware of him as Crimson Jack, yet one more id that makes us marvel how a lot these children ought to actually be trusting this man. Kh’ymm is a bit more keen to assist when she realizes that the youngsters are trying to find At Attin, which she appears to treat as greater than only a legend.
Kh’ymm’s outpost is principally an area library and I’d gladly spend hours right here with this owl and her books, scrolls, and knowledge pads. Whimsical libraries and fact-finding missions are essential elements of treasure hunts and different adventuring tales, and I recognize that the present was capable of finding a enjoyable approach to incorporate that into the sequence.
Regardless of her greatest efforts to stall the crew whereas she waits for New Republic reinforcements to take Nawood/Jack away, Kh’ymm will get carried away by the thrill of the hunt and manages to search out some essential details about At Attin’s location earlier than they arrive. They study that At Attin is the final remaining Jewel of the Outdated Republic, hidden away from the remainder of the galaxy a very long time in the past. In speaking with the kids, Kh’ymm learns that the Barrier they discuss with is probably going product of nebula gases, which helps slim down the search fairly considerably. They aren’t capable of uncover rather more, nonetheless, earlier than X-Wings arrive.
Fern is hesitant to let Nawood/Jack again on board, and insists that he inform them the reality of his id and comply with work for them earlier than she relents. They narrowly escape the X-Wings, with Finest Boy Neel surprisingly on the helm, setting off within the path of those clues and certain their subsequent journey.
In the meantime, again on At Attin the kids’s dad and mom are frightened sick about them. We study that there’s a supervisor who supposedly oversees the planet and its connection to the Republic, however that generally, making contact with anybody outdoors of the Barrier is forbidden. This explains why not one of the youngsters know in regards to the struggle or that the Jedi had been basically worn out – At Attin actually has been hidden from the remainder of the galaxy for who is aware of how lengthy.
