==Publisher's summary==
Wedge Antilles is a combat-hardened X-wing pilot, one of the only fliers to survive the missions against both Death Stars. After those two assignments and his post as leader of Rogue Squadron, you'd think he'd seen everything. But when he heads a rescue and retrieval for a downed man on the planet Cilpar, he finds something he'd never expected: a culture that hates the Empire... and hates the Alliance even more!
==Plot summary==
On the unaligned agricultural planet Cilpar, Wedge Antilles and the rest of Rogue Squadron engage in an intense dogfight with twelve Imperial TIE fighters attempting a stop a food convoy bound for Mrlsst. After executing a trick move to eliminate two TIEs, Wes Janson's X-Wing is damaged and is forced to land by a creek on the surface. The rest of the team lands west of the city Kiidan as Tycho Selchu heads after Janson. 
Antilles discusses the state of the war with Dllr Nep and Isplourrdacartha "Plourr" Estillo, the latter of which suspects Janson or Selchu of being an Imperial spy. At the creek bed, Selchu rescues Janson from his downed fighter just before it explodes, though Janson's leg is broken. The two take shelter in a nearby cave, where Selchu fights off native winged creatures while nursing Janson to health. 
Back at the rebel hideout, Antilles and Plourr are confronted by Elscol Loro and her team. Loro suspects that the New Republic and the Empire (under local Moff Boren Tascl) are working together to usurp the legitimate government on Cilpar and takes the rebels to Tamarack, a once-thriving neighborhood ruined by the ongoing war. As they recover the hanged body of Gates Harnik, a grocer who had supplied the rebels, Loro explains her suspicions, elaborating that her organization had a rebel contact that knew their location when Moff Tascl attacked. Loro orders Chang to cremate the found bodies before they are eaten by wild ronks. 
Someone who appears to be Leia Organa discovers Selchu and Janson at the cave and holds them at gunpoint. At Tamarack, Loro explains to Antilles that her Wookiee companion Groznik owed a life debt to her late husband Throm after he saved the Wookiee from Imperial execution; Throm died at the Battle of the Cliffs after returning to liberate Cilpar, leaving Groznik with Loro. Antilles gave a story of his own, retelling his assault on the second Death Star at the Battle of Endor. Loro uncovers a music ball in the ruins of her home and Nep identifies the tune as "Starlight by Moonlight". Suddenly, a cavalcade of Imperial walkers led by Moff Tascl storms the neighborhood.
