Plot summary[edit | edit source]

REBELS AND ROGUES
Part III

It is a time of civil war! The Empire has deployed
legions of probes to scour the galaxy for the Rebel
Alliance. But the Rebellion has enacted three
daring plans to shake the Empire off their trail.

On Lanz Carpo, Princess Leia and Han Solo dodge
District Advocate Dar Champion in order to
transmit false signals to the Empire. On K43,
Chewbacca and C-3PO's efforts to destroy
Imperial warships by disrupting the planet's core
has been thwarted by the unexpected presence
of indigenous life!

Meanwhile, Jedi-in-training Luke Skywalker's
attempts to lure Imperial forces away from an
outpost on Sergia have stalled. But Luke's new
friend might have the solution he needs to
accomplish the mission. A solution tied to the
mysterious nature of the Force....
