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.
