It has been more than five years since Jerec was

has joined the fragile New Republic in the struggle
against the remnants of the Empire.

To aid in their cause, Kyle has traveled to a remote
base in the Altyr system, accompanied by Mara Jade,
a young smuggler who sought out Kyle in the hope
that he might further her Jedi training.

swayed from the dark path by Luke Skywalker. She
now seeks knowledge of her re-emerging power and
the role she will play in the continuing struggle
for the galaxy....

For the first four Single Player missions the player controls Kyle Katarn, the protagonist of the two previous games in the series, then for the ten remaining missions the player controls Mara Jade, one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
