Publisher's summary[edit | edit source]

"WORST AMONG EQUALS" PART 4 Rogue archaeologist DOCTOR APHRA continues her race against time – and total bodily explosion – with only professional murder droid TRIPLE-ZERO for company. Facing firing squads, harpoon-flinging reptiles and – worst of all – really bad traffic, they have no idea they're being watched by the deadliest Imperial threat of all: The Coalition for Progress! Face the unmitigated terror of the EMPIRE'S public relations division…

Plot summary[edit | edit source]

WORST AMONG EQUALS
Part IV

Doctor Aphra is on the run! Implanted with a proximity
bomb, she's forced to stay close to her nemesis,
Triple-Zero, or they will both face an explosive death. And
only one specialist on Milvayne can safely remove the
bombs before the timer runs out!

It's all part of a grand experiment by Doctor Cornelius
Evazan, who watches their every move through a live feed
broadcasting from Triple-Zero's eyes. And now Evazan has
expanded the feed to transmit across every screen on the
planet.

And Evazan isn't the only one who wants Aphra and
Triple-Zero dead. A resurrected former Milvayne cop, Tam
Posla, and Triple-Zero's old counterpart, the evil,
reconstructed killer droid BeeTee-One, are after them,
not to mention the hunters Winloss and Nokk. Allies are in
short supply…especially after Aphra's newest friend, the
young orphan Vulaada, betrayed them....

↑ Doctor Aphra 29 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.
