Empire 36: The Wrong Side of the War, Part 1, the thirty-sixth installment of the Star Wars: Empire comic book series, saw its release on October 12, 2005 through Dark Horse Comics.
Lieutenant Janek Sunber, driven by his unwavering commitment to the Imperial cause, finds himself once again thrust into the thick of combat. He initially participates in a fierce ground engagement, where the remaining freedom fighters of a planet are desperately struggling to maintain their resistance. Subsequently, he's relegated to the role of a glorified prison warden at an Imperial facility, where captives are forced into labor for the Empire's advantage.
This isn't the trajectory Sunber envisioned for his career within the Imperial Infantry. However, an unexpected Rebel assault on the base might present Sunber with a renewed opportunity to prove his worth—or face a valiant demise!
