The Padawan of Jedi Master Jaro Tapal, Cal Kestis became a Jedi Knight during the reign of the Galactic Empire. As one of the few Jedi who survived the purge that all but destroyed the Jedi Order, Kestis lived in seclusion on the planet Bracca for years until a confrontation with the Inquisitorius compelled him to openly resist the Empire's rule. Hunted across the galaxy by the Empire's Jedi hunters, Kestis joined the crew of the starship Stinger Mantis after they rescued him from the Inquisitors. Over the course of their journey, Kestis befriended the droid BD-1, the former Jedi Cere Junda, and the Mantis' captain Greez Dritus. Merrin was a Dathomirian Nightsister who lived on her homeworld of Dathomir during the Imperial Era. A survivor of General Grievous' massacre of the Nightsisters during the Clone Wars, Merrin encountered the Jedi Master Taron Malicos after he crash-landed on Dathomir following Order 66. Malicos fell to the dark side of the Force, and wishing to learn the Nightsister's magick, he manipulated Merrin through lies that the Jedi were responsible for her losses and false promises to help her avenge her fallen friends, sisters, and mothers. During Cal's visit to Dathomir, Merrin realized Malicos was deceiving her. Affirming that they were both survivors, Merrin and Kestis worked together to defeat Malicos, and the Nightsister subsequently joined Kestis' crew aboard the Stinger Mantis in their quest to restore the Jedi Order and fight the Galactic Empire.
