The Empire holds a secret of great value, and it is on the verge of being exposed! Darth Vader must intervene swiftly to prevent this compromise! This issue delivers the thrilling conclusion to the narrative arc known as "The Ahakista Gambit"!

Within the depths of a heavily guarded Imperial fortress, a group of covert operatives, under the leadership of Wyl Tarson, are engaged in a desperate fight for survival. Each member, driven by unwavering loyalty to the Rebel cause, is prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the success of their mission. Unbeknownst to them, Tarson's allegiance lies with a figure far more malevolent than the Alliance. For Tarson, the moment of truth has arrived—will he betray the trust placed in him by his comrades? One thing is certain: once Vader makes his presence known, few will survive the encounter.

Immerse yourself in a captivating new tale set between the events of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, exploring the Rebel Alliance's relentless struggle against the Galactic Empire. This high-octane, visually stunning story is brought to life by writer Rob Williams (Cla$$war, SW Tales) and artist Michel Lacombe (SW Tales, SW Empire).

On the world of Ahakista, within the tunnel network of Pyramid One, Sardoth and Darca Nyl engage in a fierce duel for control of the Dark Jedi Lycan's lightsaber. Sardoth gains an advantage by striking Nyl's shoulder, but their battle is interrupted by the arrival of Darth Vader. Vader, utilizing a Force Push against Nyl, proceeds to swiftly defeat and eliminate Sardoth.

Simultaneously, on the planet's surface, Wyl Tarson, Laynara, and Baco Par attempt to infiltrate Pyramid One with the objective of destroying The Hub. Despite successfully breaching the access point, Imperial Stormtroopers manage to kill Baco and apprehend Tarson and Laynara. Following an agreement with Darth Vader, where Laynara is released and the bomb in his head is crushed, Tarson pledges his allegiance to Vader, becoming his agent.
