Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos has lost his memory. Not only must he fight to rediscover his past, he must also track down his Padawan, Aayla Secura, who has mysteriously disappeared. With only his lightsaber and a scheming Devaronian named Villie to help him, Quin must face off against deadly gamblers, false Jedi, corrupt officials, and the pull of the dark side if he is to survive! Features Jedi Quinlan Vos' introduction to the Star Wars comics story.

It is a time of great turmoil. The oppresive Empire is close to seizing complete control of the galaxy. The ragtag guerilla army of the Rebel Alliance fights on, striking wherever it can, but now something has come to light that could spell certain doom. Hidden in the Jedi ruins of Dantooine is a Holocron containing a list of high level Rebel sympathisers. If that list were to fall into the hands of Darth Vader, the Rebel Alliance would lose its most valued support - and possibly the way itself.
As an Imperial bio engineer who frequently visits other worlds, Dusque Mistflier is the perfect cover for a Rebel who needs trio travel far and wide without arising suspicion. She agrees to help Rebel spy Finn Darktrin in his quest to recover the crucial Holocron. Despite help from Han, Luke and Leia the mission is fraught with peril.
As their journey takes them into the fiery belly of the beast that is galactic civil war, Dusque and Finn will learn that the hardest part of all is figuring out whose side you're on - and how far you're willing to go to win ...
