SPOILER ALERT: This Will Spoil The Plot of the Book!

Luke Skywalker awakes in a start and he tells his wife Mara Jade that he’s had a dream of cloaked evil man that will bring pain across the galaxy and to him personally.

On Coruscant, the Skywalkers and Solos dine together along with Zekk. Han Solo is leading an argument over recent activity on Corellia which is withholding aid to the Galactic Alliance as it continues its rebuilding process. The GA is working to standardize processes across the many worlds, but Corellia (and Han) don’t want to take orders from the “almighty” Alliance.

As the family relaxes after dinner, Luke and Jacen Solo take a walk together. Luke tells Jacen that military intelligence has learned that Corellia is building a secret planetary fleet, but they don’t know who is behind it or what its use will be. They are also close to reactivating Centerpoint station, once thought impossible since it was believed that the now dead Anakin Solo was the only one who could operate it. Luke wants Jacen to sneak in and disable or destroy the station. Jacen will be taking his apprentice, Ben Skywalker, along for the mission.

After Han has trouble contacting Corellia, he begins to wonder whether a GA attack on the planet is imminent. He and Leia try to figure out how it will happen and see if they can pull out more information.

Jacen and Ben work through simulations on the assault and they all result in them inserting a datacard into a port that will destroy the system.

After several days of analysis, Han and Leia determine that something will indeed be happening on Corellia very soon. Leia says they should let it happen, but Han says a neat and tidy galaxy like she describes where no one has independence is not something he wants to be part of.

On Corellia, Wedge Antilles receives a visit from two intelligence officers who request his presence at a meeting that concerns Rogue Squadron’s original recapturing of Coruscant from the Empire.

Han and Leia contact Luke and ask if they can borrow R2-D2 for a quick vacation, but Luke says R2 is needed for a training exercise. The Solos don’t believe him and think he’s probably part of the invasion.

Wedge is brought to a secure GA facility where they inform him that there is no meeting and that he is simply being held there until the GA attack on Corellia is over. Wedge is unhappy that he won’t be with his family during the invasion. One of the guards feels guilty, but the other says he’s tired of the Rebel Alliance old timers always getting special treatment and hopes he’ll be able to shoot Wedge if he tries to escape.
