AftermathJourney to Star Wars: The Force Awakens As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Allianceâe"now a fledgling New Republicâe"presses its advantage by hunting down the enemyâe(tm)s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemyâe(tm)s strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but heâe(tm)s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders. Meanwhile, on the planetâe(tm)s surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native worldâe"war weary, ready to reunite with her estranged son, and eager to build a new life in some distant place. But when Norra intercepts Wedge Antillesâe(tm)s urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesnâe(tm)t know is just how close the enemy isâe"or how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be. Determined to preserve the Empireâe(tm)s power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summitâe"to consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they havenâe(tm)t reckoned on Norra and her newfound alliesâe"her technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defectorâe"who are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empireâe(tm)s oppressive reign once and for all. |
