Publisher's summary

Under the leadership of Wedge Antilles, the renowned Rogue Squadron pilots are ready to risk everything in their fight against the Empire.

The X-wing fighters are known for being sleek, fast, and lethal. As the conflict with the Empire spreads across the vast expanse of space, these pilots are willing to risk their lives and their aircraft for the sake of the Rebel Alliance. Their current mission involves a perilous act of espionage, where they must confront treachery and the possibility of death on the Empire's home planet to dismantle the power of a merciless enemy!

Coruscant, the massive city–world from which the Imperial High Command orchestrates the war, represents the wounded and staggering Empire's dark core. To bring the Empire to its knees, the Rebels will launch an invasion of this formidable stronghold in a daring maneuver. However, before this can happen, Wedge Antilles and his X-wing pilots are tasked with infiltrating Coruscant to gather critical intelligence. Capture would mean death, or worse—being ensnared by the cruel leader known as “Iceheart,” Ysanne Isard, who now wields power akin to an Emperor.

Furthermore, a member of Rogue Squadron is already under her control, a concealed traitor hiding behind a facade of innocence, working to betray both their comrades and the Rebellion.
