Publisher's summary[]

OUT OF THE FRYING PAN, INTO THE HEAT-DEATH OF A PLANET-KILLING METEOR STRIKE!

Could this be salvation? Wait…those breathing sounds seem familiar…

Plot summary[]

THE CATASTROPHE CON
Part V

Doctor Aphra's greed for an ancient lightsaber
guarded by a swarm of Force-powered
hookspores has doomed Accresker Jail! Under
Imperial interrogation she has revealed their
existence in an attempt to keep her darkest
secret: knowledge of Darth Vader's plot to
supplant the Emperor.

Fearing contagion, the Empire has abandoned
the jail on a collision course with a nearby
planet. In order to escape with Magna Tolvan,
Sana Starros and the shape-shifter Lopset,
Aphra has struck a deal with vigilante Tam
Posla.

But Aphra is determined not to leave
empty-handed. And other enemies far more
dangerous than Posla may have caught wind
of her current predicament....

Notes and references[]

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 Star Wars: Doctor Aphra (2016) #24 on Marvel Comics' official website (backup link)
↑ The events of Doctor Aphra (2016) 24 are set between issues 22 and 40 of the Star Wars: Doctor Aphra comic-book series. In issue 22, Accresker Jail is decommissioned. Crimson Reign 3 states that Jeremoch Colton had been in the wreckage-prison for over three years when Madelin Sun visited him. Crimson Reign 3 issue also states that he was imprisoned after the capture of the Tantive IV, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 0 BBY. The rebel base on Hoth is still intact during the events of Doctor Aphra 40, and Galactic Atlas dates the base's destruction to 3 ABY. Therefore, the events of Doctor Aphra 24 have to have occurred in that year.
