Synopsis:
This story was originally published as X-Wing Rogue Squadron #32-35: Mandatory Retirement by Dark Horse Comics:
  • Issue 32, 33, 34 & 35:
    When Imperial Intelligence chief Ysanne Isard discovers that acting-Emperor Pestage has made a deal with the Rebel Alliance, it appears that the Rebels' ticket to Imperial Center has been punched. But a Rebel operative witnesses Pestage's capture, and Rogue Squadron is assigned to go after him.
    Their rest and relaxation over, Rogue Squadron and a Rebel task force descend on the world where Sate Pestage, one-time Emperor-proxy, has gone into exile. If the New Republic wants to claim Imperial Center for themselves and turn the tide of the war, it is imperative that they rescue Pestage, wanted by the Empire for high treason.
    The Rogues stage a dangerous rescue of Sate Pestage. Now is their chance to undermine Ysanne Isard, who has her own designs on the Imperial throne. But a power struggle in the Empire's highest circles has Isard cornered, and that's when the Imperial Intelligence Chief is most dangerous!
    As Rogue Squadron prepares for a nightmare showdown against Imperial fighters and ground troops, Isard begins her own personal war in the corridors of power on Imperial Center. A war fought with hidden bombs, double-crossing servants, and knives in the back!
