Piloting an X-wing for the Rebel Alliance is a perilous job, but Rogue Squadron is about to learn that diplomacy can be even more dangerous than a Star Destroyer fleet! The acting Emperor, Sate Pestage, is losing control of the Galactic Empire and wants to contact Princess Leia. He intends to negotiate his defection to the Alliance, offering the keys to the Imperial Throneworld of Coruscant in exchange. However, Isard has foreseen Pestage's actions. She aims to seize control of the Empire, leading to a deadly game of chess where the fate of the Empire—and Rogue Squadron—hangs precariously!
