The New Republic's final battle with the Empire is coming, and all eyes are on the backwater planet of Jakku. After the Battle of Endor, the fragmented forces of the Empire scattered across the Galaxy. However, after the victory of the Uprising, difficult times came. The surviving Imperial forces launch a treacherous attack on the New Republic, and the fledgling democracy is forced to devote all its efforts to searching for hidden enemies. Participation in the treacherous attack has made Grand Admiral Rae Sloane the most wanted war criminal, and former Rebel pilot Norra Wexley returns to service at Leia's personal request Authority to lead the hunt. But Norra is driven by more than just loyalty to the New Republic. Her husband has become a deadly puppet in Sloane's murderous plot, and now Norra wants more than just justice—she seeks revenge. And Sloane herself is on the trail of Gallius Rax on the desert Jakku. It was Rax who was behind the attack on the Republic, and now this cunning strategist is gathering the remains of the Empire's war machine to carry out Emperor Palpatine's last order. The Imperial fleet and the Republic armada converge on Jakku orbit. It is here that the fate of the Galaxy will finally be decided.
