Issue number 6 of the Star Wars: Empire comic book series is entitled Empire 6. Dark Horse Comics released this issue, which features the tale "Princess… Warrior, Part 2," on March 5, 2003.
The setting: the period immediately preceding the events of Star Wars: A New Hope. During a trip to a world on the verge of Imperial subjugation, Princess Leia reaches a significant realization: that heartfelt words and diplomatic efforts might prove insufficient. Occasionally, to avert the demise of the innocent, it becomes necessary to arm oneself and confront—even eliminate, if required—those who seek to dominate the defenseless through brute force. This marks a pivotal juncture in the life of the beloved Star Wars protagonist, one that nearly extinguishes the Rebellion before it truly commences!
