Synopsis:
This story was originally
published as X-Wing Rogue Squadron #9-12:
Battleground Tatooine by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issues 9, 10, 11 & 12:
The crime and death caused by Jabba the Hutt is
nothing compared to the chaos created in the wake of
his demise! Jabba's legacy is a cache of stolen
Imperial hardware and weapons, hidden somewhere on
the desert world of Tatooine. Whoever finds the
treasure will have enough firepower to rule the
planet, perhaps even the sector! And that means
Rogue Squadron must find it first, or else find it
aimed at their heads!
A criminal warlord has stolen a vital bit of
information, so vital, in fact, that Wedge and the
Rogue Squadron were going to steal it themselves!
Rather than simply steal it, they'll now have to
fight for it! Through the heated deserts of Tatooine,
in the midst of a gang war sparked by the death of
Jabba the Hutt, the Rogue Squadron risk life and
limb for the Rebel Alliance!
Jabba the Hutt is dead, and in the ensuing scramble
for power, a secret Imperial weapons cache could be
the key to victory. But only one being alive knows
the location of the hidden weapons cache, Firith
Olan. While that makes Firith a very powerful being,
it also makes him a prime target. In a desperate
race to uncover the missing weapons, as the
criminals converge to fill the role of the dead
Hutt, Wedge and Rogue Squadron find themselves smack
in the middle of Battleground: Tatooine!
A handful of Tatooine outlaws and a mountain full of
Imperial weaponry are a deadly combination: deadly
enough to make allies of X-wing Rogue Squadron and a
troop of Imperial Special Forces!
