Child of Light, penned by Lee Pickler and brought to the public by the RPGA on behalf of Wizards of the Coast, marks the inaugural adventure in the Child of Light saga.
The scenario involves Commander Luke Skywalker tasking you with the mission of finding a child possessing a unique Force gift. The dark side adherents and the Empire are also likely to be in pursuit. Your objective is to reach the child first. This is the initial part of the Child of Light narrative.
In the timeline four months following the Battle of Hoth, the Alliance to Restore the Republic receives communication from a resident of Dalicron-4, requesting protection for a child with substantial Force-sensitive abilities, known as the Child of Light. This child, named Caeleb, is unable to wield the Force himself, but significantly enhances the powers of other Force users. Due to his own commitments, Luke Skywalker is unable to personally investigate, so the Alliance dispatches a small team of operatives.
The operatives rendezvous with a Bothan contact located at the Kwenn Space Station before proceeding to Dalicron-4, situated in the Outer Rim Territories. After conducting investigations, the operatives locate the boy's family just as they are under attack from Tol Skaros, a Whiphid bounty hunter. Skaros murders the boy's parents before being defeated by the Rebel agents. They secure Caeleb under Alliance protection, but an Imperial Nebulon-B escort frigate then arrives in the Dalicron system and imposes a quarantine. With the assistance of Thaum Rystra, a former Rebel scout present on the planet, the Rebels successfully deliver Caeleb to Kylbar, an assistant to Admiral Gial Ackbar.
