Publisher's summary[]

"OPERATION STARLIGHT, PART 2 (OF 3)" – REELING FROM THE LOSS OF ONE OF THEIR OWN, THE REBELS FINALLY SEE A PATH FORWARD!

THE REBELS attempt to create a new communications code that THE EMPIRE will never be able to crack, in hopes that they might be able to safely reunite their scattered fleet and rejoin the fight.
However, the code has a cost, one that LANDO CALRISSIAN is not willing to pay!
Meanwhile, STARLIGHT SQUADRON, the group of elite pilots tasked with finding the scattered divisions of the fleet, heads out on its first deadly mission.

Plot summary[]

OPERATION STARLIGHT
Part II: THE REBEL CODE

The heroic Rebel Alliance is scattered and on the run from
the evil Galactic Empire.

But the cunning Commander Zahra has
broken rebel security codes and will stop at
nothing to crush the Rebellion once and for
all.

In response, the rebels stole an ancient
protocol droid from the Imperial Museum.
With it, they hope to create a new
unbreakable code and bring the scattered
fleet back together....

Continuity[]

In one panel, Kes Dameron refers to Leia Organa as commander rather than her correct rank of general.
