Publisher's summary[edit | edit source]

"WORST AMONG EQUALS" PART THREE! With a huge price on their heads, rogue archaeologist DOCTOR APHRA and her murder-droid companion TRIPLE-ZERO are hunted wherever they run. Of all their pursuers, you might think the deadliest danger comes from the EMPIRE-backed cops…or the deranged undead bounty hunter…or the relentless monster trappers — right? Nope. Because the entire population has tuned in to watch the chase through Triple-Zero's eyes, and EVERYONE has a shot at that reward…

Plot summary[edit | edit source]

WORST AMONG EQUALS
Part III

Rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra is on the run!
Implanted with a proximity bomb, she's forced to
stay close to her nemesis, the psychotic droid
Triple-Zero, or they will both face an explosive
death!

It's all part of a grand experiment by the evil Doctor
Cornelius Evazan, who watches from afar as Aphra
blunders through the many dangers of the
ultra-lawful Imperial world  Milvayne. Their only
hope is to reach the one specialist who can safely
remove the bombs before the timer runs out!

But with a resurrected Tam Posla on their trail,
thanks to his possession by a Force-powered
fungus, things don't look good. And it seems that
another old frenemy of Aphra's is back from the
dead....

↑ Doctor Aphra 22 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.
