Synopsis:
This story was originally published as Shadows
of the Empire: Evolution by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issue 1:
Xizor, the leader of the Black Sun organization, has been
destroyed, and Guri, a human replica droid and Xizor's personal
assassin, is left wondering what her future will hold now that
she no longer has anyone to answer to. Throughout the ongoing
struggle for underworld supremacy, Guri endeavors to uncover
hints of her human side -- if it even exists. Her search first
takes her to the far side of the Rim looking for droid
programming genius Massad Thrumble, in the hope that he can
alter her programming.
- Issue 2:
Human replica droid Guri continues her quest to discover
just how human she really is. She braves the dangers of the
tropical planet Murninkam looking for the surgical droid known
as Doc, who has been abducted by Spinda Caveel, a brilliant but
more-than-slightly mad scientist, and his deadly cohorts, the
Pikkel Sisters. Meanwhile, bounty hunter Kar Yang is hot on the
trail of Guri at the request of the shadowy Azool, who wants
Guri for reasons that will finally become clear.
- Issue 3:
Human replica droid Guri has located the only one
potentially capable of altering her assassin-driven programming,
the surgical droid known as Doc. But now she's being pursued by
a bounty hunter, Kar Yang. Savan, working in disguise as a human
female, is trying to secure her hold on the Black Sun
organization -- and realizes that Guri is the key. Luke, Han,
and Leia, who are meeting with Savan on Coruscant in order to
work out a peaceful end to the tumultuous turnover in Black Sun,
have no idea who she really is, though.
- Issue 4:
Now that Guri has found Doc, and the de-droiding procedure
has been started, the search is on for Guri. Will Spinda Caveel,
the Pikkel Sisters, Savan, or Han, Luke, and Leia be the first
to find Guri and Doc? Will Doc be able to finish the humanizing
procedure on Guri before they are found? Just as we think things
are going well, Luke gets a "feeling," and Leia
discovers the truth behind Savan.
- Issue 5:
Guri, the most wanted droid in the galaxy awakens from
surgery. Doc and Thrumble stand by to see if the surgery
successfully removed the bad memories of Black Sun. Meanwhile,
our gang is on the way to collect Guri and bring her to trial.
What they don't know is that Savan and her thugs are there to
capture Guri for themselves.
