As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle
of Endor, the Rebel Alliance—now a fledgling New
Republic—presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy’s
scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But
above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the
enemy’s 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 he’s taken captive before he can report back to the New
Republic leaders.
Meanwhile, on the planet’s
surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to
her native world—war weary, ready to reunite with her
estranged son, and eager to build a new life in some distant
place. But when Norra intercepts Wedge Antilles’s urgent
distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is
not yet over. What she doesn’t know is just how close the
enemy is—or how decisive and dangerous her new mission will
be.
Determined to preserve the Empire’s
power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva
for a top-secret emergency summit—to consolidate their
forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they haven’t
reckoned on Norra and her newfound allies—her
technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a
reprobate Imperial defector—who are prepared to do whatever
they must to end the Empire’s oppressive reign once and for all.
