Synopsis:
This story was originally
published as X-Wing Rogue Squadron #5-8: The Phantom
Affair by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issues 5, 6, 7 & 8:
The Battle of Endor was never fought - it was
just so much Alliance propaganda. At least, that's
the lie being spread by members of the AEA (Ante-Endor
Association). But Wedge Antilles and his Rogue
Squadron comrades know the truth. They were at Endor
when so many of their friends and colleagues gave
their lives to destroy the second Death Star. And
so, for those lost friends, this is a battle they
will not fail.
If Wedge Antilles can't persuade the alien Mrlssti
to sell their cloaking device to the New Republic,
the result could be disaster. And that's just what
Wedge expects when he discovers that the negotiating
party includes Loka Hask: the pirate chieftain who
killed Wedge's parents!
A cloaking device isn't easy to come by, even a long
time ago in a galaxy far, far away. But when the
members of Rogue Squadron try to pick one up from
the super-scientific alien inventors known as the
Mrlssti, they find they've been accused of every
crime from burglary to murder, and that the Empire
will stop at nothing to bring them in!
The residents of Mrlsst should have learned their
lesson long ago, when a noble Jedi sacrificed
himself that the Empire might leave the Academy
unharmed - nobody wins when you play in politics.
But old lessons are easily forgotten in the heat of
war. Over the years, the Academy has become a
snakepit of secrets and plotting, and students and
professors fight each other and one another. And now
they're about to get a refresher course, the kind
that's taught with blood and fire. Unfortunately for
Wedge and the Rogue Squadron crew, the lesson comes
just as they arrive on Mrlsst.
