## Plot Summary

### End of the Lothal Campaign

In the skies above the Outer Rim planet Lothal, the VCX-100 Light freighter *Ghost* is pursued by several TIE fighters, on board, General Hera Syndulla and Captain Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios discuss when reinforcements might arrive while shooting down the TIEs. Just then, General Lando Calrissian and Admiral Gial Ackbar's fleet arrives above Lothal. Shocked by the appearance of the New Republic fleet, Captain Randyl Drakar contacts Grand Vizier Mas Amedda. Amedda orders the continued defense of Lothal, but his adviser, Sate Pestage, suggests that Drakar return to Coruscant to prepare for the inevitable campaign to defend the Core Worlds from the Republic.

### A New Objective

After the Imperial forces retreat from Lothal, the New Republic leaders meet aboard Ackbar's flagship *Home One*. They realize that, with Gallius Rax having been killed in the Battle of Jakku, the Empire must have a new tactical mastermind behind their battle plans. General Syndulla contacts Commander Alexsandr Kallus, and assigns him to assassinate Grand Vizier Amedda, intending to lure out the true tactical brain behind the Imperial military.

### Covert Operation

Kallus and his strike team arrive on Coruscant in a stolen Imperial shuttle, and successfully infiltrate the Imperial Palace. Meanwhile, Pestage discovers the Republic's plan from a tactical informant, and sends a masked sharpshooter to ensure that the Grand Vizier cannot leak information to Kallus's team. Kallus and his team confront Amedda in his office, and as Kallus holds Amedda at gunpoint, the sharpshooter fires on the Grand Vizier from a nearby tower, also killing one of Kallus's men, before the rest of the team escape in a speeder piloted by a hooded figure. Later, the speeder descends into Coruscant's Underworld, and the hooded figure reveals herself to be Rafa Martez, the leader of one of the largest rebel cells on Coruscant's Level 1313.

### Preparations

Months Later, in the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, a discussion occurs between Grand Vizier Sate Pestage, Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Thrawn) and Admiral Rae Sloane. Sloane reveals her suspicions of an attack on Coruscant, to which Pestage responds with disbelief. Thrawn enters, and orders Sloane to the ISD *Obliterator*.

Meanwhile at a hut on an unidentified planet in the Outer Rim, Four Exiled Rebels (Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, Ahsoka Tano, and Sabine Wren receive a pre-recorded message from Princess Leia Organa Solo requesting the return of all exiled rebels. The four and their droid, R4-F9, board the *Phantom II* and leave for Chandrila.

On Chandrila, the Military Leaders of the New Republic are discussing their attack when the four exiled rebels interrupt them. Hera and Kanan embrace, and Leia introduces her brother, Luke Skywalker, hero of the rebellion. Ahsoka and Luke briefly discuss Anakin Skywalker, then the Briefing Resumes.

After the briefing, Luke tells Kanan and Ezra how he joined the rebellion, then leaves on *Home One*. Kanan and Ezra soon join him.

### The Final Battle

Over Coruscant, on the Super Star Destroyer *Abolisher*, Captain Drakar informs Thrawn that several starfighters and capital ships are exiting hyperspace, followed by the appearance of over seventy starfighters. Sloane, aboard the *Obliterator*, responds with shock, and Thrawn responds by telling her that the New Republic has grown over the past year. The Rebels immediately attack the blockade, destroying several light cruisers and two ISDs in a few minutes. As the battle rages, Blue Leader Zan Jaxx is shot down, as well as several unidentified pilots. The *Obliterator* takes a critical hit from Y-Wing ion torpedoes, but Sloane escapes in an escape pod before the destruction of her ship. Soon after, Thrawn receives a communication from an ancient being referred to only as "The Dark One", who appeals to Thrawn by offering to keep the Empire alive in the Unknown Regions. Thrawn agrees, and leaves the *Abolisher* in a shuttle alongside Drakar and Captain Slavin, just as it is destroyed through the bridge by proton torpedoes. The New Republic lands troops on the ground, and after a short ground battle, Pestage surrenders his forces.

### Galactic Concordance

On Coruscant, Chancellor Mon Mothma and Pestage sign the Galactic Concordance, agreeing to cease their claims to all planets in New Republic Territory, as well as disarm their army and navy. The remaining two ISDs from the battle jump to the Unknown Regions, and Pestage is put on trial and given a life sentence.

Meanwhile, Thrawn lands at The Dark One's Base on an unidentified planet. The Dark One, meeting with Thrawn via hologram to preserve his identity, introduces Thrawn to the Twelfth Brother, last of the Inquisitorius, and pledges to begin anew.
