Norra Wexley leads a team hunting Imperial remnants across the galaxy while Han Solo attempts to liberate Chewbacca's homeworld of Kashyyyk. The mission goes wrong when smugglers walk into an Imperial trap. Chewbacca gets captured and Han disappears without a trace. Princess Leia sends an urgent plea for help to locate the missing heroes. Norra abandons her pursuit of Grand Admiral Rae Sloane to search for Han and Chewie near the Millennium Falcon's last known coordinates. Her crew races against time while Sloane continues plotting to resurrect the fallen Empire. The rescue mission leads Norra's team into unexpected danger as a ruthless enemy targets them. The story bridges the gap between the Emperor's death and the rise of the First Order, exploring how the New Republic struggles to maintain peace while Imperial forces regroup in the shadows.
