Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from the Droids
series by Dark Horse Comics and an eight-page short story from
Topps' Star Wars Galaxy Magazine #1:
- Special Edition Issue: Welcome
to Kalarba
In their first adventure in the Kalarba System, Artoo-Detoo
and See-Threepio arrive at Hosk Station, where they meet the
intergalactic criminal, Olag Greck!
- Issue 1: The
Greed of Olack Greck
In the Star Wars galaxy, automatons are so much necessary
property, but even first-degree droids are considered
expendable! Despite their differences, See-Threepio and
Artoo-Detoo know that the best way to survive is to stick
together. Thank the maker!
- Issue 2: The
Indobok Pirates
A gang of interplanetary thieves steal See-Threepio and
Artoo-Detoo from the Pitareeze family, and take the droids to
Kalarba's moon, Indobok. The droids meet a nefarious character
from their past, and realize that their troubles have just
begun!
- Issue 3: The
Saga of C-3PX
In a deadly case of mistaken identity, See-Threepio and
Artoo-Detoo become entangled in an illegal operation on the Hosk
moon, and are forced to enter a droid battle arena.
- Issue 4: Battle
of the B'rknaa
Corellian rogue Jace Forno leases the dysfunctional duo for a
deadly mission to the moon Indobok!
- Issue 5: Short
Cut
In the droid trade the only use for old units is as spare parts
and scrap. So even See-Threepio is impressed when he and Artoo
meet veritable antiques Q-E and 2-E, two diminutive Model-Es who
have operated a nursery for several generations of Kalarbans.
But despite their longevity, Q-E and 2-E carry a horrific secret
that could spell the end for all droids!
- Star Wars Galaxy Magazine #1: Artoo's
Day Out
- Issue 6: Countdown
at Hosk
A power core rupture on Hosk forces all life forms to be
evacuated, but life forms doesn't include droids!
As Olag Greck makes his final stand, Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio
race against time to save the industrial moon... but first
they'll have to survive Greck's droid armada!
