Star Wars meets Narcos. Set during the Sequel Era, this original series set within a galaxy far, far away focuses on the complexities of the Kyber Trade in the Resistance era and what happens when one breaks the cardinal rule: “Don’t get involved”. The barren planet Xerseborum is a newly discovered planet in the Unknown Regions known for its distinct feature of being rich in Kyber Crystals. In the years following its discovery, a feudalistic society has formed based on one’s amount of owned land. This land, despite how shady the actual Kyber Trade may be, has now become a site of religious pilgrimages for followers of the Church of the Force as well as a mutual trade partner to both the Resistance and the First Order. The members of the ruling class, known as Kyber Barons, have two rules to their business. 1) Find out why they need it; 2) Don't get involved after the Kyber is sold. When the patriarch of the Xedrig Kyber Family shoots a First Order Science Officer, all bets are off as the walls of house of the most powerful Kyber Baron falls down upon House Xedrig.
