Survivor's Quest — Timothy Zahn

A dangerous, mission to salvage a piece of Jedi past threatens to make Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker history....

After fifty years, the remains of Outbound Flight--a pioneering Jedi expedition viciously destroyed by the alien warlord Thrawn--have been found on the planet Nirauan. The beings who reside there wish to turn over to the New Republic the remnants of the doomed mission. Accepting the gesture will mean a long voyage into the treacherous cluster of stars where the thousands of souls aboard the Outbound Flight vessel met their grim fate.

Embarking on the strange and solemn journey, Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker are unaware that the gravest danger lies within the derelict walls of Outbound Flight itself. As the marooned hulk yields up stunning revelations and unexpected terrors, Luke and Mara find all they stand for--and their very existence--brutally challenged. The ultimate test will be surviving the deathtrap carefully laid by foes who are legendary for their ruthlessness . . . and determined to complete the job Thrawn began: exterminating the Jedi.
