Publisher's summary[edit | edit source]

Princess Leia is on a top-secret dangerous mission that brings her to a planet that wants no part of the war against the Empire. But when an injury threatens to end her mission, can she inspire that rebel spirit in those who just want to keep their heads down?

Plot summary[edit | edit source]

STAR WARS
Annual II

It is a pivotal moment in the galaxy. As the Empire
continues to exert its oppressive force, the Rebel
Alliance stands strong against their tyranny for the
good of all.

While heroic Rebellion agents like Princess Leia of
Alderaan strive to undermine Imperial strongholds,
the Galactic Empire continues to dominate and has
doubled its efforts to eliminate any who would
stand against its rule.

Some choose to fight against waves of Imperial
stormtroopers, while others choose the relative
safety and security of obedience—and then there are
those who refuse to take a side at all....
