Plot summary[edit | edit source]

Part II
MUTINY AT MON CALA

It is a period of rebuilding in the galaxy. After victory
on Jedha thanks to Queen Trios betraying the Empire,
Rebel leaders Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, and
Han Solo continue the search for a new base of
operation as they fight against the Galactic Empire's
reign.

Recently that search has led them to the water world
of Mon Cala. In a secret meeting with Grand Admiral
Urtya, Leia tries to convince the leader of the
Imperial-occupied planet to join their cause — to
rebel against the tyrannical government that
kidnapped their king so many years ago.

However, after an attack from an Imperial patrol, the
Mon Calamari leader refuses to send his fleet to join
the Rebellion for fear of further punishment for his
people. It's time for the Rebellion to change his
mind....
