Long after Rey brought balance to the Force for a time by living in the middle between the darkness and the light, the Jedi and Sith are now reclusive groups, their original names lost to history. The Jedi are now known as Vorlons, who wander the galaxy in strange encounter suits--some whisper that they are magnificent beings of Force energy in disguise, but no one's ever proven it; while the remaining Sith wait in hiding, now known as the Shadows--and no one's made the connection that those legends of Jedi and Sith and the Force may actually be closer to reality than mere myth. It is generally believed that the Force and all its users, light or dark, passed beyond the Outer Rim years ago.

There is no Empire, or Republic--the planets of the galaxy are divided on all but trade deals, and they fight constantly. The whole galaxy watched in horror as the Centauri reduced the Narn to rubble, enslaving the proud warrior race. But because it was not united, it could do nothing. The Vorlons and the Shadows watched all of this with caution, as if daring the other to make the first move. But nothing was done. Then came the war between the humans and the Minbari, a mysterious, mystical and most importantly, reclusive race. The Minbari seemed to fight with abilities lost to time and with a passion and fury only reserved for the Sith of old. The Vorlons ultimately intervened before the Minbari destroyed the humans. They made the first move; the Jedi were back to the old tricks, the Shadows thought. So why couldn't the Sith be back to theirs? So the Shadows began influencing the Centauri and other races to inflict further pain on one another, to tear one another--and the galaxy apart. And the Vorlons watched, and began to prepare the Minbari and other races for what could only be a bloody conflict. Another war would be fought between the Jedi and the Sith, but this time, it would be by proxy--each species would only intervene if the conflict grew out of control. The Vorlons quietly recruited Delen of the Minbari, a Force sensitive, and trained her in the ways of the Force to be both a strong warrior and an excellent diplomat. They influenced a young pilot, Jeffre Sinclar, also Force sensitive, to eventually go back in time and ensure that the Force would be strong in the Minbari. And finally, Kosh, one of the wisest of the Vorlons, took under his wing a human war hero of the Human-Minbari War, Jon Sherdan, another Force sensitive, to ensure that when the war came, those on the side of the light would have a leader. The Vorlons quietly believed that these three, Delen, Sinclar and Sherdan would restablish balance to the Force for the next age of the galaxy: the Third Age, they considered it. But the future is uncertain, and best-laid plans are often disrupted...

Mary Ann Cramer: I have to ask you the same question people back home are asking about space these days. Is it worth it? Should we just pull back? Forget the whole thing as a bad idea, and take care of our own problems at home?

Sinclair: No. We have to stay here. And there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers. But there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes, and all of this…all of this…was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars.
