The first insane Jedi Knight they save from captivity is Seff Hellin. While the Skywalkers begin their search, Jaina Solo forms an underground organization called the Darkmeld, whose intentions are to save all Jedi targeted by the Galactic Alliance who have the Force psychosis. Jedi Master Kenth Hamner becomes acting Grand Master of the Order until Luke's return to Coruscant. As an option to commute his sentence during his ten-year exile from Coruscant and any other established Jedi base, he is tasked to determine how Jacen fell to the dark side. Daala and Luke agree to exile the Grand Master, after accusing him of encouraging Jedi to flout the rule of law and behaving superior to the orders of police and governments, as well as excusing and protecting Jedi who commit atrocities. Valin's rampage through Coruscant coincides with Luke being arrested for crimes against the Alliance.
Two young Jedi Knights, Seff Hellin and Valin Horn, fall victim to a Force psychosis that makes them believe that everyone they know is an impostor. Following the events of the Legacy of the Force novels, Outcast picks up two years after the aforementioned series' finale, Invincible.
