Empire 10: The Short, Happy Life of Roons Sewell, Part 1 represents the tenth installment within the Star Wars: Empire comic book series. Dark Horse Comics released it to the public on July 23, 2003.
One of the most astute strategists of the Old Republic was General Dodonna. Presently, he is compelled to utilize every bit of his expertise and cunning to outmaneuver the commanders leading the Imperial fleet--a significant number of whom received instruction in the very strategies he devised!
To afford the nascent Rebel Alliance the necessary period for strengthening their forces, Dodonna opts for an abandoned, age-old temple situated on a moon circling a planet composed of gas as their operational hub. However, the establishment of Yavin Base is fraught with challenges, including the imperative to attack Imperial supply lines, disagreements among the Rebel leadership, and the presence of formidable beasts that have also asserted their dominion over the temple!
This narrative, spanning two issues, uncovers previously undisclosed details concerning the Rebellion's formative stages.
