Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader are dead. The Empire has been
toppled by the triumphant Rebel Alliance, and the New Republic is
ascendant. But the struggle against the dark side and the Sith
Order is not over. Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Lando
Calrissian, and their faithful comrades have had little time to
savor victory before being called on to defend the newly liberated
galaxy.
Powerful remnants of the vanquished Empire, hungry for retaliation,
are still at large, committing acts of piracy, terrorism, and
wholesale slaughter against the worlds of the fledgling New
Republic. The most deadly of these, a ruthless legion of
black-armored Stormtroopers, do the brutal bidding of the newly
risen warlord Shadowspawn. Striking from a strategically
advantageous base on the planet Mindor, they are waging a campaign
of plunder and destruction, demolishing order and security across
the galaxy-and breeding fears of an Imperial resurgence. Another
reign of darkness beneath the boot-heel of Sith despotism is
something General Luke Skywalker cannot, and will not, risk.
Mobilizing the ace fighters of Rogue Squadron-along with the trusty
Chewbacca, See-Threepio, and Artoo-Detoo-Luke, Han, and Leia set
out to take the battle to the enemy and neutralize the threat
before it's too late. But their imminent attack on Mindor will be
playing directly into the hands of their cunning new adversary.
Lord Shadowspawn is no freshly anointed Sith Chieftain but in fact
a vicious former Imperial Intelligence officer-and Prophet of the
Dark Side. The Emperor's death has paved the way for Shadowspawn's
return from exile in the Outer Rim, and mastery of ancient Sith
knowledge and modern technology has given him the capability to
mount the ultimate power play for galaxy wide dominion. Dark
prophecy has foretold that only one obstacle stands in his way, and
he is ready-even eager-for the confrontation.
All the classic heroes, all the explosive action and adventure, all
the unparalleled excitement of Star Wars come breathlessly alive as
the adventures of Luke Skywalker continue.
