Tash, Zak, and Uncle Hoole need a special mineral for the Shroud's engines. The only place to get it is a mining colony in the middle of an asteroid belt infested with space slugs.

Zak battles killer beetles in the Sikadian Garden on Sk'rrr.

Bug swarms, space slugs, brains on legs, mad Imperial scientists—Zak has had enough! He's glad to be on board the luxury space yacht, Star of Empire, where at last, there's peace and quiet. Until—"Abandon ship! Critical meltdown!" As a blaring siren sounds, panic-stricken passengers rush to get off the ship. Everyone evacuates…except Zak and Tash. But to their relief, nothing happens. There's no meltdown, no explosion. Everything is fine. Except that the ship's exits are sealed and all communications have been shut down. Zak and Tash are trapped. And they are not alone.

Zak and Tash hope to defeat the evil scientist Gog by finding the lost Jedi library on the abandoned space station Nespis 8, but that storehouse of knowledge is supposedly cursed and guarded by the ghost of a Jedi.

A survey team crash-lands on an unknown planet. The planet is dark, and its fetid swamps are filled with flesh-eating flowers, fearsome swamp slugs, and deadly dragonsnakes. No one hears the survey team's distress signals. They are stranded. Thirty years later, Zak and Tash Arranda and their uncle Hoole, with Boba Fett in hot pursuit, land on the planet. Descendants of the survey team—half-starved and crazed with strange fevers—are still alive. They call themselves the Children, and how they have survived is a mystery. Does the strange creature named Yoda have the answer?

Tash is at an abandoned Jedi fortress on the remote planet Dantooine. She senses something dark in the ruins and begins a terrifying journey into an evil world, where she is forced to fight to the death her own brother and uncle.

On the planet Fun World, where computer-generated holograms create both entertainment and terror, Zak and Tash discover that some of the scary illusions may be real and dangerous.

Having landed at the evil scientist Gog's headquarters on the deserted planet Kiva to make sure that his Project Starscream has been destroyed, Zak and Tash find strange shadow creatures and hidden danger.

With his sister Tash and his Uncle Hoole, Zak lands on the planet Necropolis, where he hears constant talk of graves, witches, and cemeteries and finds evidence that the dead are coming back to life.
