Star Wars. Tempest Runner (The High Republic)

Explore the ruthless realm of one of the High Republic’s most formidable enemies, the relentless Lourna Dee, in the full script of the Star Wars audio original "Tempest Runner." The destructive Nihil storm has swept across the galaxy, sowing chaos and sorrow in its path. Among these raiders, few match the ferocity of Tempest Runner Lourna Dee. She expertly eludes the Jedi Order, commanding a ship that bears the name of one of the galaxy's fiercest creatures—herself. However, evading the defenders of the High Republic cannot last indefinitely. Captured after her crew's defeat, Lourna conceals her identity, blending in with other Nihil prisoners. Her captors fail to grasp the peril of the entity they've ensnared. Like many who've underestimated her before, their crucial error lies in allowing her to live. Committed to ensuring this is their final misjudgment, Lourna finds herself confined on a Republic correctional ship, tasked with undoing the havoc she and the Tempest Runners wrought. While plotting her escape, she forges alliances that teeter on the brink of friendship. Separated from her notorious ship, fearsome weaponry, and dreaded reputation, Lourna must forge a new path. But will this journey lead to redemption, or will she resurface as an even greater menace?
