This is the second issue of a four-part canon miniseries in the Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories anthology line. The story dives deeper into an aquatic horror-thriller set during the Clone Wars era (around 21 BBY), starring Jedi Master Kit Fisto and his Padawan, Nahdar Vebb. After a catastrophic explosion floods the underwater Axil Research Station on a remote ocean world, the duo battles massive sea beasts and environmental chaos while trying to evacuate survivors. Expect high-stakes action, Force-assisted underwater combat, and some creepy deep-sea vibes – perfect for fans of The Clone Wars episodes like «Lair of Grievous.»
It’s a self-contained tale that expands on Kit Fisto’s character (the tentacled Nautolan Jedi known for his lightsaber finesse and calm demeanor), blending pulp adventure with subtle Jedi philosophy.
