Twelve
years after Return of the Jedi
THE
BLACK FLEET CRISIS
*BEFORE
THE STORM*
It is a time for tranquillity for the New Republic. The remnants of the
Empire now lie in complete disarray, and the reemergence of the Jedi Knight
has brought power and prestige to the fledgling government on Coruscant.
Yesterdays's rebels have become today's administrators and diplomats, and
the factions that fought against Imperial tyranny seem united in savoring
the fruits of peace.
But
the peace is short lived. A restless Luke must journey to his mother's
homeworld in a desperate and dangerous quest to find her people. An adventurous
Lando must seize a mysterious spacecraft that has weapons of enormous destructive
power and an unknown mission. And Leia, a living symbol of the New Republic's
triumph, must face down the ruthless leader of the Duskhan League, an arrogant
Yevetha who seems bent on a genocidal war that could shatter the fragile
unity of the New Republic... and threaten its very survival.
*SHIELD
OF LIES*
As Leia must deal with a new threat to the fragile alliance that bind the
New Republic, Lando becomes a prisoner aboard a runaway spacecraft of unknown
origin. Luke continues his quest to learn more about his mother among the
Fallanasi, where his every believe about the force is about to be challenged.
And while Leia ponders a diplomatic sollution to the aggression of the
fierce Yevethan race, Han pilots a ship into the heart of Yevethan space
and faces a vast fleet of warships under the command of a ruthless leader
-a fleet more than a match for the New Republic's forces.
*TYRANT'S
TEST*
Faced with an alarming image of Han as a battered hostage of the Yevetha,
Chewbacca takes on an urgent mission. Meanwhile, Leia calls upon the senate
to take a stand and eliminate the Yevetha threat -even at the cost of Han's
life. As a former governor takes his battle to the runaway Quella spaceship,
Luke's continuing search for his mother brings him dangerously close to
Nil Spaar's deadly forces. And as the Yevetha close in on the forces of
the New Republic, Luke takes a desperate gamble with an invisible weapon...
