Synopsis:
This book collects together the following issues from the
Empire series by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issue 35: Model Officer
Information obtained from a prisoner
captured on Jabiim has set Darth Vader on the trail of the Rebel
Fleet. No Alliance defense can divert Vader from his target, and
if he is successful it will mean the destruction of the fleet
and the end of the Rebellion.
But there is one small hope for the Rebels, and it all comes
down to one man pursuing his duties with an unshakable zeal, and
remaining a "model officer" to the end...
- Issues 36, 37, 38, 39 & 40
: The Wrong Side of the War
Fresh from the killing fields of Jabiim, where the Empire has
virtually wiped out the populace of that world, Imperial
Lieutenant Janek Sunber is sent to the quiet prison base on
Kalist VI. But, unbeknownst to the Empire, the Rebels have
designs on Kalist Base both for its desirable fuel supplies, and
for the presence of a very important prisoner-one of their own
who has already attracted the interest of Darth Vader.
Sunber doesn't know it, but he's on a collision course with an
old friend who is with the Rebels, and he finds himself
wondering which of them is on the wrong side of the war.
Devotion to duty has put Imperial Lieutenant Janek Sunber once
more on the front lines. First as part of an intense ground
battle, where the last of a planet's freedom fighters are
desperately holding on, then as a glorified prison guard at an
Imperial base where prisoners are put to work for the benefit of
the Empire. It's not the career Sunber imagined he'd have in the
Imperial Infantry, but a Rebel surprise attack on the base may
give Sunber another chance to distinguish himself--or die
trying!
In his new post as prison guard at the Imperial base on Kalist
IV, Lt. Janek Sunber is forced to weigh what he knows he should
do against what he can do when he comes up against
the corrupt status quo. But conflict with his fellow officers is
just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to challenges facing
the young lieutenant. Unbeknownst to the Empire, the Rebels have
infiltrated the base!
Dissent in the ranks! Janek Sunber finds himself at odds-and at
gunpoint-with his fellow officers over the treatment of Imperial
prisoners. Hardly an auspicious start to his new assignment, and
made all the worse because the internal conflict blinds the
Imperials to the presence of Rebel infiltrators in their midst!
But the biggest shock to Sunber-and the Rebels-is yet to come,
from a most unexpected quarter! Allegiances are strained,
identities are revealed, and a major strike against the Empire
is in the offing.
Inside the Imperial base on Kalist VI, an undercover Rebel
strike force is on a mission vital to the continued existence of
the Alliance. Everything has gone according to plan, but the one
eventuality for which no one could have prepared is the presence
of Imperial Lieutenant Janek Sunber-or how his presence will
impact the Rebel team. Duty to the Empire has asked much of
Sunber and offered little in return, but he has never wavered in
his dedication. Now, a shocking discovery has landed him at a
crossroads, and the time has come for him to decide whether to
devote himself to order, or justice.
The jig is up!
The Rebel intelligence operatives inside the Imperial base on
Kalist VI have been discovered. Yet, even with their cover
blown, this stalwart crew of Alliance heroes is determined to
follow through with their mission no matter what the cost! As
Imperial forces close in swiftly and mercilessly, will this band
of Rebels need to be rescued from their own rescue mission?
