The New Republic continues to clash with Imperial warlords as Luke Skywalker seeks out answers about the past Jedi Order. With Han Solo and Chewbacca missing at the moment, our heroes face their most dire moments. However, a certain fan-favorite archeologist just might be the answer the New Republic is looking for.

The planet of Valo is in danger from the villainous Nihil as they move to take it. The pirate radio broadcaster who goes by the name Scarlet Skull puts out a blast that the planet needs aid.
