Doctor Aphra’s greed for an ancient lightsaber guarded by a swarm of Force-powered hookspores has doomed Accresker Jail! Under Imperial interrogation she has revealed their existence in an attempt to keep her darkest secret: knowledge of Darth Vader’s plot to supplant the Emperor.
Fearing contagion, the Empire has abandoned the jail on a collision course with a nearby planet. In order to escape with Magna Tolvan, Sana Starros and the shape-shifter Lopset, Aphra has struck a deal with vigilante Tam Posla.
