Plot summary[]

THE GOOD PEOPLE

The Rebel Alliance hopes to shift the tide of the
Galactic Civil War, believing time is on their side.

Elsewhere, construction is underway at an Imperial
black facility codenamed Second Sun.
Disillusioned with the evils of the Empire,
Lieutenant Melton and his wife Bevelyn serve as
double agents for Crimson Dawn. Qi'ra has
activated these operatives, tasking them with
exposing the Imperial facility to the Rebel
Alliance.

In order to slip away undetected, the couple
disposed of Major Sharin and hijacked her
Imperial shuttle. They escaped with their children
and have threatened the secret of Second Sun: the
construction of a second Death Star….
