It is weeks after the Battle of Endor, where the evil Emperor Palpatine was defeated.

Leia Organa, with Shara Bey and Queen Soruna of Naboo, have saved the planet

from Palpatine's vengeance, and the Rebel Alliance is gaining support.

World after world is turning on agents of the Empire,

but Imperial leadership is reinforcing its power and strongholds.

In an attempt to secure support from the remaining

monarchies of the Elder Houses, Princess Leia Organa,

leaves Naboo to journey as an emissary to the small planet of Arkanis,

also the location of an Imperial Officer Academy.

Accompanying her is General Han Solo, now her husband.

Princess Leia must convince the monarchs of Arkanis

to throw off Imperial influence and commit to the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

However, she and General Solo sense that their mission is endangered by

Imperial sympathy and that they should take their leave while they still can...
