Fire Carrier represents the sixth story arc featured in the Star Wars: Dark Times comic book series.
The narrative of this arc returns to the Jedi younglings, individuals who haven't been present since Star Wars: Dark Times: Parallels, marking a significant time gap since their last appearance. They successfully escaped the moon using a repaired spacecraft, but it barely functioned long enough to crash in a location that puts them in considerable danger. Concurrently, Darth Vader has initiated a training regimen for the assassin he apprehended during the preceding arc, Out of the Wilderness. Vader is now training him for a specific assignment, presenting him with a clear choice: comply with Vader's instructions or face death.
