Synopsis:
This book collects together the following issues from the
Empire series by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issue 13 : What
Sin Loyalty
Trooper TK-622 is proud to do his duty in the service of the
emperor, but he suspects that that may not be the case for
everymember of the battle station's crew. Strange
"accidents" and equipment malfunctions point to the
presence of a saboteur, but can the trooper prove it before the
station goes into action above Yavin?
- Issue 14 : The
Savage Heart
Vader alone.
Vader the undefeated.
Vader the savage.
After the destruction of the Death Star, Darth Vader attempts to
make it to an Imperial safe haven in his crippled TIE fighter,
only to crash land in a savage wilderness. Forced to make his
way on foot, attacked by ferocious native carnivores, Vader
shucks off the restraints of Imperial order and Sith schemes and
embraces his raw, wild power.
- Issues 16, 17
& 18 : To The Last Man
He may have washed-out as a pilot at the Imperial Academy,
but Lt. Janek Sunber has found a new home in the infantry.
Hoping for a post on a world where he could see some action
against the Rebels, he instead finds himself on the jungle world
of Maridun as part of a regiment overseeing the construction of
a new base. But just when he’s resigned himself to a long,
uneventful tour of duty, things heat up. The alien natives are
restless, and on the hunt for human skulls! Sunber is about to
learn one of the truths about the infantry: all service is
sacrifice, and in the infantry that sacrifice is usually in
blood!
Imperial Lt. Janek Sunber wanted to see action, and now his wish
has come true, in spades! Sunber's infantry regiment on the
jungle world of Maridun is cut off from the rest of the Empire.
Their communications have been destroyed, and their way out of
the jungle is blocked by thousands of hostile native Amanin.
Hopelessly out-numbered, they must choose between combat or
surrender, but either decision may mean death!
Thousands of angry alien Amanin versus less than sixty Imperial
troops. So much for being "the glue that holds the galaxy
together."
The Imperials are doomed, but newly promoted Captain Janek
Sunber is determined that they will sell their lives dearly. If
only some of his fellow officers exhibited the same courage,
they might have a chance. But is it bravery, or foolhardiness
that drives Sunber? And, if they all die, who will tell the
story of their sacrifice? Who will record the glory of their
final stand?
- Issue 19 : Target
: Vader
Having failed to locate the Rebels’ new base after the
destruction of the Death Star, Vader sets out to redeem himself
by strong-arming his underworld contacts for information about
the Alliance. But other deeds from Vader’s past return to
haunt him as a group of aliens attempt to kill the Sith Lord as
revenge for a slaughter he perpetrated on their homeworld.
Fighting vengeful aliens is all in a day’s work. The real
challenge for Vader is coming to terms with the man he once was,
and the "monster" he has become.
