Plot summary[edit | edit source]

GALAXY'S DEADLIEST
PART 1
Ghosts of Corellia

The Rebel Alliance is all but defeated after the Battle of Hoth. The Empire has redoubled their efforts to crush the scattered freedom fighters.

While the civil war consumes the galaxy the underworld thrives. Smugglers, mercenaries and thieves serve crime syndicates and cartels that vie for influence, territory and profit.

Skilled and ruthless bounty hunters—some of the most dangerous killers in the galaxy—scour systems to track down wanted criminals for the highest price. Three of these hunters—Valance, Bossk and Boba Fett—are considered some of the best. And they have a history with each other…one that's about to put them on a deadly collision course.

Continuity[edit | edit source]

Despite having previously worked together in the Star Wars: Darth Vader comic series, set before the events of this issue, Bossk and Chelli Aphra are presented here as meeting for the first time.
