Part I
Rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra is known
across the galaxy as a brilliant scientist as
well as a thief and obtainer of ancient
valuable artifacts—which has earned her the
ire of both the Rebellion and Empire.

Recently, Doctor Aphra has exposed a traitorous
plot to assassinate Emperor Palpatine. This
saved her life as well as the life of her
sidekick of sorts, Vulaada, and also earned
great favor with the regime.

But Aphra's complicated history with
Palpatine's enforcer, Darth Vader, could ruin
the doctor's second chance....

  2. Doctor Aphra 38 takes place "two years" after the events of Doctor Aphra 6. Doctor Aphra 2 has a flashback sequence taken 18 years before the event of the story, in which Chelli Lona Aphra told her father that her mother had just died. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas states the the Galactic Empire was founded in 19 BBY. According to Doctor Aphra 32, Lona Aphra left the Second Moon of Thrinittik with Chelli when the Empire was existing and also stated that they lived on the planet for 2 years before Lona's death, which means that Lona had to die during or after 17 BBY. According to Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition, Vanden Willard died in 1 ABY. He had died in Star Wars 50. Doctor Aphra 2 took place between Star Wars 30, which takes place in about 0 ABY and Star Wars 50. It cannot have taken place in 0 ABY, as Lona would have died in 18 BBY. If the comic took place in 1 ABY, it would mean that Lona died in 17 BBY, fulfilling the above information. Considering that Doctor Aphra 38 took place 2 years after Doctor Aphra 2, then it must have taken place in about 3 ABY. Doctor Aphra 37 took place immediately before Doctor Aphra 38, also placing it around 3 ABY.
