The second Death Star is destroyed, Emperor Palpatine is dead, and Darth Vader is gone. The galactic Empire is reeling, but still powerful. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Wedge Antilles discovers a gathering of Imperial Star Destroyers around a distant planet. He uncovers a plot that could extend the war for years, but is captured before he can send out a message, leaving a ragtag group of Rebels with the important information in their hands. If they do not warn the New Republic, the Empire may yet win the war.
