Plot

Celeste Ial, captain of the Frayed Hunter, is ordered by Ysanne Isard to pose as New Republic officers and attack an area of space known as the No Fly Zone in order to provoke the inhabitants into attacking the New Republic. Celeste stops on her home planet of Eriadu to stock up of supplies, only to learn that Echon Tarkin, son of Wilhuff Tarkin, was there as well. Having not seen him since his assumed death at the Battle of Endor, Celeste meets up with him, and the two reminisce about the past. The two go back to Echon's old house and end up getting drunk. After meeting a young girl named Aurea Hali, Celeste stays at the mansion for the night due to her intoxication.^[5]

The next morning, Celeste departs for the Frayed Hunter after waking up late. She is stopped by Aurea and Echon, who decide to join her on her mission. After being shown to their rooms on board, the Frayed Hunter arrives at Voltar, deep within the No Fly Zone. After establishing contact with the Volta, Celeste goads them into attacking. The crew escapes just as the ship is struck with an Electronic Nullifying Pulse and crashes onto the surface below.^[7]

Meanwhile on the planet, Nayt Fillion and Skoti Romero witness the Frayed Hunter's escape pods crashing onto the surface of Voltar. Echon, Aurea, Celeste and Evan awaken and are attacked by Nationalist troops. They are questioned by Zak La'Rocha and Evan is killed after he fails to kill Zak.^[8]
