Publisher's summary[edit | edit source]

"WORST AMONG EQUALS" PART 5: WHEREIN: PUBLIC RELATIONS DISASTER! DOCTOR APHRA's race across an alien city continues, pursued by innumerable enemies – not least the EMPIRE'S villainous propaganda division. But with the timer ticking down on the bomb in her throat, the truest horror might come from some unscheduled soul-searching. Could it be that her psychotic droid companion TRIPLE-ZERO is the closest thing she has (or deserves) to a true soulmate?

Plot summary[edit | edit source]

WORST AMONG EQUALS
Part V

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.
The two must travel to the only specialist on Milvayne
who can remove the bombs before the timer runs out!

It's all part of a grand experiment by Doctor Cornelius
Evazan, who has watched their every move from a live
feed through Triple-Zero's eyes while broadcasting it to
all the residents of Milvayne. With the whole planet
watching, Aphra and Triple-Zero worked together to
escape many enemies and in the process, gained the
favor of the viewers.

Not every viewer was rooting for the escapees. The
shadowy agents of Imperial Propaganda watched as
Aphra's shenanigans sowed the seeds of dissent
against Imperial law. Its mysterious leader decided to
nip the Rebellion in the bud — with an orbital strike.

↑ 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.
