Opening crawl[]

World of the Ancient Sith
Jedi Princess Leia, pregnant with her third child, journeys with Han Solo and Chewbacca to the spaceport moon of Nar Shaddaa, where Leia hopes to find the old Jedi woman, Vima-da-Boda [sic].

Arriving in the ancient spaceport, Leia and Han are stalked by bounty hunters, Gank killers, and warriors from the Emperor's new Darkside Elite. After a vicious confrontation with the Ganks, Leia and Han succeed in finding Vima in the deepest levels of the city.

But Boba Fett follows them, resulting in a clash which ends when Chewbacca rips off Fett's helmet and ignites his jet pack, sending Boba Fett blasting into the darkness.

Safely aboard the ''Millennium Falcon'', Leia, Han, and Chewbacca attempt to take Vima-da-Boda [sic] away from Nar Shaddaa, but the ''Falcon'' is caught in a tractor beam by an Imperial Star Destroyer.

In a test of wits, Han Solo tricks the Commander of the Star Destroyer into impaling his ship on a city pylon. As the massive warship plunges to destruction, the ''Falcon'' jumps safely to hyperspace.

Leia, Han, and Chewbacca are not the only Rebels on a quest. In another part of the galaxy, Luke Skywalker and Jedi Knight Kam Solusar are on their way to the planet Ossus, an ancient Jedi stronghold, to hunt for Jedi artifacts...

And Han Solo's old friends Salla Zend and Shug Ninx are returning to Byss, the Emperor's throneworld, in hope of recovering Salla's ship, the ''Starlight Intruder''.

Publisher's summary[]

Luke is racing to the far side of the galaxy to obtain a Jedi Holocron rumored to be on the planet Ossus. The power and knowledge that ancient device holds could give him just the edge he needs to defeat the evil Empire! But the Emperor has heard these rumors, too, and has sent a platoon of battle-hungry Dark Siders to bring the Holocron back to him. Fire up the lightsaber, Luke! It's gonna be a long night!
