Synopsis:
This story was originally
published as X-Wing Rogue Squadron #17-20: Requiem
for a Rogue by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issues 17, 18, 19 & 20:
Malrev 4 is an uncivilized planet in a pretty,
but otherwise useless, corner of the galaxy.
Inhabited by vicious, unthinking brutes, it's like a
living museum of pre-evolution. You wouldn't bother
going there unless you had a death wish, or you were
a member of Rogue Squadron and you were trying to
rescue a downed cruise liner.
It should have been a simple mission for the men and
women of Rogue Squadron, an easy search-and-rescue
for a group of Bothan castaways forced down on
Malrev 4. But when they got to the backwater planet,
the Rogues found themselves first attacked by the
Irrukiine, a doglike aboriginal race, and then by
the Bothans themselves. There's some strange kind of
hoodoo going down on Malrev 4, this planet promotes
madness and deceit, and not even the Rogues are
immune!
The Bothan tourists that Wedge and crew have come to
save are neither Bothans nor tourists, they're a
consortium of spies assigned to follow the Emperor.
Wedge is glad to know this now, but he'd have been
happier to have discovered this fact before his crew
were trapped on this back-water planet called Malrev
4. Now Rogue Squadron is in the middle of a firing
ground, between a twisted, self-styled "Lord of
the Sith" who calls Malrev 4 his home and the
leader of the spies, Girov, who desires the planet,
its great temple, and all its power for his own!
