As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Allianceβnow a fledgling New Republicβpresses its advantage by hunting down the enemyβs scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemyβs strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but heβs taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.
Meanwhile, on the planetβs surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native worldβwar weary, ready to reunite with her estranged son, and eager to build a new life in some distant place. But when Norra intercepts Wedge Antillesβs urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesnβt know is just how close the enemy isβor how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be.
Determined to preserve the Empireβs power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summitβto consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they havenβt reckoned on Norra and her newfound alliesβher technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defectorβwho are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empireβs oppressive reign once and for all.
