Synopsis:
This story was originally published as X-Wing Rogue Squadron #21-24: In the Empire's Service by Dark Horse Comics:
  • Issues 21, 22, 23 & 24:
    Wedge Antilles is the ace pilot of the Rebel Alliance, and his Rogue Squadron is the outfit of choice for every X-wing flyer. But just as the New Republic has its star space jockeys, so does the Empire. And Baron Fel and the Imperial 181st Fighter Division are hungry to see what Rogue Squadron is made of.
    On the world of Brentaal, Imperial General Isoto prepares for a Rebel assault. His goal: not to save the planet, or even the Imperial base, but to save himself. Isoto has the best shield there is, the Empire's greatest fighter ace, Baron Fel. But having the Baron and having him take orders are two totally different things!
    Rogue Squadron brings the battle to the Imperials as X-wings and TIEs zigzag among the lofty minarets of Brentaal. More than one Rogue will be shot down this day, but an X-wing pilot on the ground with a blaster is twice as angry and almost as dangerous!
    Baron Fel's wingmen, the merciless pilots of the Imperial 181st Fighter Division, are falling to the firepower of Rogue Squadron. But Fel himself is not down. He has a final card to play, and Wedge Antilles is about to fold!
