Publisher's summaryEdit

"FORTRESS VADER" continues! The Tale of LORD MOMIN! Plans are drawn…a foundation is laid…and darkness rises on MUSTAFAR!

Plot summaryEdit

FORTRESS VADER
Part IV

The Republic is overthrown. Emperor Palpatine rules
the galaxy with an iron fist. Palpatine's apprentice —
Darth Vader — serves his master's Empire by rooting
out surviving Jedi.

Vader has requested that his master grant him a planet
to do with what he will — and he has chosen Mustafar,
a world ripe with dark side energies…and the site of his
greatest defeat. Palpatine has charged Chief Imperial
Architect Alva Brenne to build Vader's fortress there
and gifted his apprentice with the Mask of Lord Momin, a
mysterious dark side artifact.

But Brenne has failed to capture Vader's vision for the
fortress. And Momin's mask has revealed its power —
by murdering Brenne, possessing her assistant and
offering up its own designs for Fortress Vader....

DevelopmentEdit

According to writer Charles Soule, the story for Darth Vader 22 had been in his mind since 2015, when he wrote the comic book miniseries Star Wars: Lando,^[2] which first introduced the Mask of Lord Momin.^[3]
