Publisher's summary[]

UNSPEAKABLE REBEL SUPERWEAPON CONTINUES! Hiding out on the world where she grew up, everyone's favorite scoundreless, DOCTOR APHRA, takes a trip down memory [lane].

Plot summary[]

UNSPEAKABLE REBEL
SUPERWEAPON
Part III

Rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra has made
a name for herself as a brilliant scientist…as
well as a thief, swindler and obtainer of
ancient valuable artifacts.

But she's also collected quite a few enemies--
the Rebellion and the Empire, to name but
two. Though the rebels kidnapped Aphra and
her ward, Vulaada, they are willing to put
their differences aside due to Aphra's latest
score--a Jedi weapon called the FARKILLER.

Using plans stolen from the Empire, General
Cracken has a secret scheme to create the
Rebellion's own Death Star using the weapon
and with Aphra's help. But Aphra has no
intentions of joining the Rebel forces....

↑ Doctor Aphra 34 is set between issues 21 and 40 of the Star Wars: Doctor Aphra comic-book series. The events of issue 21 take place after the Battle of Yavin, which marks the beginning of 0 ABY, according to Star Wars: Galactic Atlas, while the rebel base on Hoth is still intact during the events of issue 40. Given that Galactic Atlas dates the destruction of the base to 3 ABY, the issue must therefore have been set between 0 ABY and 3 ABY.
