Chronology
Plot summary[]
LieutenantJudder Page leadsPage's Commandos on a mission toKal'Shebbol to knock out the shield generator surrounding the headquarters of the planet'sImperial ruler,MoffKentor Sarne. With aNew Republic fleet in orbit, the commandos need to neutralize the shields to allow the planet to be liberated quickly, since they do not have the resources to lay siege to the planet. Infiltrating the base via a large hole in the structure that had been caused by a piece ofDarkStryder technology, the unit splits up to capture Moff Sarne and release captives from the detention center. Sarne, monitoring the orbital battle and being informed of the breach of security, decides that it is time escape. Taking a few loyalstormtroopers with him, he heads for his escape vehicle, theCarrack-class light cruiserAmbition, that is docked in an underground facility.
One squad, led by Page, almost catches up to Sarne and theAmbition, but is foiled by Sarne's use of a DarkStryder module on them. The second team, led byKaiya Adrimetrum, liberates the captives. With Sarne abandoning his capital and taking much of his force with him, the New Republic takes control of the planet.
Despite taking the planet, the New Republic force is due to move on, leaving only a token force behind. Page, aware that Sarne is still at large and in possession of strange alien technology, receives authorization for a mission to track him down. Using theFarStar, aCR90 corvette that Sarne was having modified for his own uses, Page assembles a ragtag crew comprising New Republic personnel and civilians from Kal'Shebbol. Under the command ofKeleman Ciro, they are to track down Sarne, learn his plans, and stop him if possible.

Behind the scenes[]
One of the images accompanyingThe Saga Begins shows a Wookiee disembarking the Ghtroc 720 freighter that Page's Commandos use to land on Kal'Shebbol. However, of the six commandos on the ship—Page, Ciro, Adrimetrum, Tors, Gottu, and Vandro—none of them are Wookiees. The only Wookiee in the story is Lofryyhn who is not introduced until later in the narrative.
