-
Princess...
Warrior
In the weeks prior to the events in A
New Hope, Princess Leia Organa undertakes a
covert mission to deliver much needed supplies to
the Rebel Alliance on the planet Ralltiir, only to
have her mission thwarted when the forces of the
Empire, including Darth Vader, take control of the
planet. Leia escapes without the Imperials
discovering the true reason for her visit, but she
realizes that the time may be past for talk and
"mercy missions." Turning her attention to
another of the galaxy's trouble spots, Leia finds
herself up to her neck in Imperial trouble and comes
to terms with the need to take up arms against an
evil enemy. Before she was a political firebrand,
driven by an outraged sense of justice. Now she must
fight to save a people targeted for
extinction.
Princess Leia comes to the fateful conclusion that
impassioned speeches and diplomatic missions may not
be enough. Sometimes, in order to prevent the death
of innocents, one must pick up a weapon and fight
and kill, if necessary, those who would use force to
exert their will over the helpless.
Occurs weeks before the Battle of Yavin.

A Little Piece
of Home
It’s six months after the destruction of the
Death Star, and every Rebel in the galaxy has a
price on his or her head. Worse, the Rebel Alliance
still has not been able to locate a new, secret
location for a base. But Princess Leia has an idea:
an acquaintance from Alderaan has a hunting preserve
on a small, uninhabited moon. It might be the idealt
spot, provided she can persuade her friend to allow
it; and that the Imperials don’t find out; and if
the local wildlife doesn’t prove to be too
dangerous. The perfect spot for the Rebel base may
just be the perfect spot for a princess to
die!
Against Luke’s better judgment, Leia has sought
the help of an old boyfriend from Alderaan in
finding a new location for the Rebel base. He’s
willing to provide the Alliance with the perfect
spot, but only if Leia will give up the Rebellion
and join him in preserving a piece of their
homeworld.
Ordinarily, Leia’s decision would be an easy one.
But when a speeder crash strands her and her friend
on a jungle moon, their need for each other in their
struggle for survival leads to a conclusion that
neither of them could have foreseen.
Occurs approximately six
months after the Battle of Yavin.
-
Alone Together
The fear of Imperial discovery sends the ships
of the Rebel fleet scrambling for the far corners of
the galaxy. Han, Chewie, Leia, and a young soldier
named Deena Shan, on board the Millennium Falcon,
end up near a dark jungle moon from which they
receive a distress call. Investigating, they
discover the remains of a tragedy dating from the
Clone Wars, and a still-living threat that could
claim them all!
Fighting alongside the Heroes of Yavin, Shan learns
that the Rebellion, and even survival, mean so much
more than she imagined when put in the context of
friendship and sacrifice.
Occurs approximately six months after the Battle
of Yavin.
-
Breaking The
Ice
Set during the days leading up to The
Empire Strikes Back, Han Solo and Princess Leia
find themselves trapped together on a downed
starship, lost in the frozen wastelands of Hoth as a
storm rages around them. And while the snow flies
outside the ship, the sparks fly inside. No matter
how hard they fight it, there's more going on
between them than just friendship!
Occurs approximately three years after the Battle
of Yavin.
