Publisher's summaryEdit

UNSPEAKABLE REBEL SUPERWEAPON: Part 1. A NEW ADVENTURE STARTS HERE! After a year of close shaves, Doctor CHELLI APHRA is taking it easy and lying low. Probably herding banthas or something. She's smart like that, right? NAH, not really. The galaxy's shadiest archaeologist is back doing what she does best: busting into alien temples to steal horrifying weapons for huge profit. She just can't stop herself. But plenty of other people could. Powerful factions are watching closely: Rebel and Empire, familiar and strange – all calculating whether Aphra's more useful alive… or dead.

Plot summaryEdit

UNSPEAKABLE REBEL
SUPERWEAPON
Part I

Rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra has made
a name for herself in all the wrong places as a
thief, swindler and obtainer of ancient
artifacts--the deadlier and more valuable,
the better.

But she's also made quite a few enemies. The
Rebellion. The Empire. Bounty hunters,
murder droids, psychotic doctors and
Force-powered sentient fungus to name a
few.

Though Aphra always manages to devise a
scheme (upon scheme, upon scheme) that
narrowly saves her skin, her antics have
slapped a target on her back as big as the
Death Star....

↑ Doctor Aphra 32 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.
