They've been hired by a mysterious contact to bag an ultra-deadly monster from the heart of an ancient temple. N.B.: For "mysterious contact" read DOCTOR APHRA, who — and this will shock you — is definitely up to something. N.B.: For "happily married" read THIS IS GOING TO GET MESSY.^[1]

Plot summaryEdit

DOCTOR APHRA ANNUAL II
WINLOSS AND NOKK

The evil Empire rules the galaxy with an iron fist.
But the more Imperial forces tighten their grip,
the more star systems slip through their fingers.
Criminals and fringe factions thrive!

Rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra is no stranger
to risk in the pursuit of credits and thrills, ever
on the hunt for for the rarest and most valuable
artifacts in the galaxy.

Others, like monster-hunting team Winloss
and Nokk, make their living even more
dangerously....

↑ 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 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. Davits Draven died during the Assault on the Mako-Ta Space Docks, which according to Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition, was one year after the mission to steal the Death Star plans. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the mission to 0 BBY, the assault must have occurred in 1 ABY. Doctor Aphra 2 took place between Star Wars 30, which takes place in around 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. Additionally, Doctor Aphra 32 also has a flashback sequence depicting Lona Aphra's death 18 years prior to the events of the comic. As this comic takes place between Doctor Aphra 2 and Doctor Aphra 32, this must also take place around 1 ABY.
