General Leia Organa assigned a mission to Dameron and Black Squadron to find Lor San Tekka, who may have information about the location of Luke Skywalker. The search led Dameron to a cave system on Ovanis. He discovered a small community called the Crèche living there, with a glowing blue egg in the center. They worship and protect the egg, which they believe will hatch a savior for the galaxy. After initial hostilities, the Crèche reveal that Tekka has left. However, BB-8 discovers a tracking device on Dameron's X-wing, and First Order forces arrive.

@missingwords (Matt Martin) on Twitter "Off the top of my head, I’d say issue 1 is at least a year off from TFA." (screenshot) Matt Martin states on Twitter that Poe Dameron 1: Black Squadron, Part I takes place at least one year before Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. Since Star Wars: Galactic Atlas states that the events of Episode VII take place in 34 ABY, then the events of Poe Dameron 1 must take place around 33 ABY.
