Plot summary[]

UNSPEAKABLE REBEL
SUPERWEAPON
Part II

Rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra has made
quite a name for herself in the galaxy as a
brilliant scientist and obtainer of valuable
ancient artifacts…as long as the price is
right!

But Aphra's also made quite a few enemies.
The Rebellion. The Empire. Everyone in
between. And her latest score--a Jedi weapon
called the FARKILLER--has attracted some
unwanted attention from the rebels who
ambushed Aphra and her sidekick, Vulaada.

And leading the Rebel strike team was none
other than Aphra's ex…former Imperial
Inspector MAGNA TOLVAN....

↑ The events of Doctor Aphra (2016) 33 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 33 have to have occurred in that year.
