with Leia's ex, District Advocate Dar Champion, in
the hope of tricking the Empire into destroying a
crime boss and one of the Rebellion's biggest
enemies.

And on Sergia, Luke Skywalker has turned to
Warba for help in saving rebel forces in the area.
Luke is after Warba's knowledge of the Force—but
Warba has her own secrets....
