Battleground : Tatooine Part 1

Les crimes perpétrés par Jabba le Hutt ne sont rien en comparaison du chaos qui suit sa disparition. Tout ce qu'il reste de l'empire du Hutt est secrètement conservé quelque part sur la planète Tatooine. Quiconque mettra la main sur ce trésor détiendra la puissance de feu capable de prendre le contrôle de la planète, et (peut-être) de ce secteur de la Galaxie. Un enjeu de taille pour l'Escadron Rogue... et pour l'Empire !

A criminal warlord has stolen a vital bit of information, so vital, in fact, that Wedge and the Rogue Squadron were going to steal it themselves! Rather than simply steal it, they'll now have to fight for it! Through the heated deserts of Tatooine, in the midst of a gang war sparked by the death of Jabba the Hutt, the Rogue Squadron risk life and limb for the Rebel Alliance!

Jabba the Hutt is dead, and in the ensuing scramble for power, a secret Imperial weapons cache could be the key to victory. But only one being alive knows the location of the hidden weapons cache -- Firith Olan. While that makes Firith a very powerful being, it also makes him a prime target. In a desperate race to uncover the missing weapons, as the criminals converge to fill the role of the dead Hutt, Wedge and Rogue Squadron find themselves smack in the middle of Battleground: Tatooine!

A handful of Tatooine outlaws and a mountain full of Imperial weaponry are a deadly combination -- deadly enough to make allies of X-wing Rogue Squadron and a troop of Imperial Special Forces! The hot desert sands really heat up in the explosive conclusion to Battleground: Tatooine, as Wedge and crew attempt to take back the galaxy, one planet at a time!

The crime and death caused by Jabba the Hutt is nothing compared to the chaos created in the wake of his demise. Jabba's legacy is a cache of stolen Imperial hardware and weapons, hidden somewhere on the desert world of Tatooine. Whoever finds the treasure will have enough firepower to rule the planet and perhaps even the sector. And that means Rogue Squadron must find it first, or else find it aimed at their heads!

Biggs Darklighter était le meilleur ami du jeune Luke Skywalker sur Tatooïne. Enrôlé dans la flotte de l'Empire, il intégra rapidement l'élite des pilotes dévoués à la cause de Palpatine. Approché par le mouvement rebelle, il rejoint l'Escadron Rogue et s'illustre bientôt comme l'un des principaux héros de la bataille de Yavin. Voici son histoire?

Envoyé sur Brentaal IV affronter une mort certaine, Soontir Fel, le plus grand pilote des mortels escadrons de l'Empire, est capturé par l'Alliance Rebelle. Dans les ténèbres de sa salle d'interrogatoire, Fel révèle son dégoût pour l'Empire et dresse le portrait d'une armée gangrenée par la corruption et le mensonge. Sa décision est prise : il rejoindra la Rébellion.

Wedge Antilles has some news that his fellow Rogues are not going to like. If they were hesitant to fly against Baron Fel, the Empire's greatest fighter ace, how are they going to feel if they have to fly with him?

Corellia may have somehow managed to avoid the devastating war between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, but the back streets of Coronet City have their own brand of villains, and Rogue Squadron can be as heroic on the ground as they are in the sky!

Wedge Antilles est le leader de l'Escadron Rogue, et ses pilotes comptent parmi les éléments les plus redoutables de toute la flotte rebelle. L'Empire n'est cependant pas en reste et peut compter sur son impitoyable 181e division de chasseurs. À sa tête, Baron Fel, l'homme qui entraîna jadis Wedge et nombre des pilotes de l'Escadron Rogue... Chacun devra alors se confronter à son ancien mentor.

Dernière mission à la hauteur de la réputation de ces pilotes hors du commun... Lorsqu'Ysanne Isard, chef des services secrets impériaux, découvre que l'Empereur Pestage a passé un accord avec l'Alliance, les Rebelles semblent en mauvaise posture. Pestage est arrêté pour haute trahison et l'Escadron Rogue est envoyé pour le délivrer.

Wedge Antilles is the ace pilot of the Rebel Alliance, and his Rogue Squadron is the outfit of choice for every X-wing flyer. But just as the New Republic has its star space jockeys, so does the Empire. And Baron Fel and the Imperial 181st Fighter Division are hungry to see what Rogue Squadron is made of. Don't miss the comics premier of Baron Fel, the Empire's greatest fighter ace!

On the world of Brentaal, Imperial General Isoto prepares for a Rebel assault. His goal: not to save the planet, or even the Imperial base, but to save himself. Isoto has the best shield there is, the Empire's greatest fighter ace, Baron Fel. But having the Baron and having him take orders are two totally different things!

Rogue Squadron brings the battle to the Imperials as X-wings and TIEs zigzag among the lofty minarets of Brentaal. More than one Rogue will be shot down this day, but an X-wing pilot on the ground with a blaster is twice as angry and almost as dangerous!

Baron Fel's wingmen -- the merciless pilots of the Imperial 181st Fighter Division -- are falling to the firepower of Rogue Squadron. But Fel himself is not down. He has a final card to play, and Wedge Antilles is about to fold!

Wedge Antilles is the premier X-wing pilot of the Rebel Alliance, and his Rogue Squadron is the most feared in the Rebel fleet. But the Empire has its top guns too -- the merciless Imperial 181st Fighter Division led by Baron Fel, the man who trained Wedge and many of Rogue Squadron's best pilots. Wedge and the Rogues will get every opportunity to test that training when they are dispatched to square accounts with Rogue Squadron, once and for all!

"La Bataille d'Endor n'a pas eu lieu". C'est du moins la version officielle de l'Empire. Mais Wedge Antilles et les pilotes de l'Escadron Rogue connaissent la vérité. Ils ont participé à cette bataille et ont assisté au sacrifice de leurs compagnons. C'est en leur nom qu'ils doivent rétablir les faits.

When Imperial Intelligence chief Ysanne Isard discovers that acting-Emperor Pestage has made a deal with the Rebel Alliance, it appears that the Rebels' ticket to Imperial Center has been punched. But a Rebel operative witnesses Pestage's capture, and Rogue Squadron is assigned to go after him.

Their rest and relaxation over, Rogue Squadron and a Rebel task force descend on the world where Sate Pestage, one-time Emperor-proxy, has gone into exile. If the New Republic wants to claim Imperial Center for themselves and turn the tide of the war, it is imperative that they rescue Pestage, wanted by the Empire for high treason.

The Rogues stage a dangerous rescue of Sate Pestage. Now is their chance to undermine Ysanne Isard, who has her own designs on the Imperial throne. But a power struggle in the Empire's highest circles has Isard cornered, and that's when the Imperial Intelligence Chief is most dangerous!

As Rogue Squadron prepares for a nightmare showdown against Imperial fighters and ground troops, Isard begins her own personal war in the corridors of power on Imperial Center. . . a war fought with hidden bombs, double-crossing servants, and knives in the back!

When Imperial Intelligence chief Ysanne Isard discovers that acting-Emperor Pestage has cut a secret deal with the Rebel Alliance to sell out the Empire, it appears that the Rebels' ticket to Imperial Center has been punched. But when Pestage is captured in his sanctuary on a far world, Rogue Squadron is assigned to go after him. If the New Republic wants to claim Imperial Center and turn the tide of war, it is imperative that they rescue Pestage, now wanted by the Empire for high treason. Unfortunately, Isard is also going after Pestage - with a brace of Star Destroyers and her own designs on the Imperial throne! Mandatory Retirement is the thrilling conclusion to the epic "Rise of Isard" story arc and a key link in the Star Wars mythos!

Sate Pestage, l'Empereur par intérim, a perdu tout contrôle et cherche à négocier les termes de sa reddition, offrant sur un plateau les clés de Coruscant à l'Alliance Rebelle. Mais dans les rangs impériaux, Isard, femme de pouvoir, a devancé le mouvement de Pestage et compte bien le faire chuter sur l'échiquier galactique... Série complète en 11 tomes.

There are few occupations that are more dangerous than flying an X-wing for the Rebel Alliance, and Rogue Squadron is about to discover that in diplomacy things -- and diplomats -- are not always what they seem!

The Moff Leonia Tavira has returned, and Rogue Squadron is about to learn just how vindictive some teenagers can be! The woman known as "Iceheart" may have the Empire in her grasp, but Sate Pestage, the interim Emperor, is defecting to the Alliance, and as an example of negotiating in good faith, he offers them the keys to the Imperial Throneworld, Coruscant!

As Wedge and Princess Leia complete their negotiations with the interim Emperor, Tycho and Winter make their break from the pirate thugs of Leonia Tavira. But both teams working in separate parts of the galaxy on the same caper are about to find they have something else in common: trouble!

Rogue Squadron faces off against the pirates of the Blazing Claw, but no sooner have they sent them packing than an Imperial Star Destroyer makes orbit! It's time for Baron Fel to show his true colors as the fate of Rogue Squadron hangs in the balance!

There are few occupations more dangerous than flying an X-wing fighter for the Rebel Alliance, but Rogue Squadron is about to discover that diplomacy can be more deadly than a fleet of Star Destroyers! Sate Pestage, the interim Emperor, is losing his grip upon the Galactic Empire and seeks contact with Princess Leia to negotiate his defection to the Alliance in return for offering up the keys to the Imperial Throneworld of Coruscant. But Pestage's moves have been anticipated by Isard, the woman who would take the Empire's reins for herself, and a lethal game of chess ensues with the fate of the Empire--and Rogue Squadron--hanging in the balance!

Wedge Antilles est un vétéran parmi les pilotes d'X-Wing, et l'un des seuls à avoir survécu aux raids lancés contre les deux Étoiles Noires. Après une carrière remplie de pareils exploits, peu de choses pourraient encore le surprendre. Et pourtant... Lors d'une mission de sauvetage sur la planète Mrisst, il se retrouve face aux Cilpari, un peuple haïssant l'Empire... mais abhorrant l'Alliance encore plus !

Les plus grands pilotes ont un jour volé sous les couleurs de l'Escadron Rogue. Mais savaient-ils que l'escadron rebelle comptait dans ses rangs l'héritière du royaume d'Eiattu ? Sommée de remonter sur le trône, la pilote devra sauver son monde d'origine de la guerre civile. Une aventure dans laquelle ses coéquipiers du légendaire Escadron Rogue Squadron ne manqueront pas de la suivre !

Malrev 4 is an uncivilized planet in a pretty, but otherwise useless, corner of the galaxy. Inhabited by vicious, unthinking brutes, it's like a living museum of pre-evolution. You wouldn't bother going there unless you had a death wish . . . or you were a member of Rogue Squadron and you were trying to rescue a downed cruise liner.

It should have been a simple mission for the men and women of Rogue Squadron -- an easy search-and-rescue for a group of Bothan castaways forced down on Malrev 4. But when they got to the backwater planet, the Rogues found themselves first attacked by the Irrukiine, a doglike aboriginal race, and then by the Bothans themselves. There's some strange kind of hoodoo going down on Malrev 4 -- this planet promotes madness and deceit, and not even the Rogues are immune!

The Bothan tourists that Wedge and crew have come to save are neither Bothans nor tourists -- they're a consortium of spies assigned to follow the Emperor. Wedge is glad to know this now, but he'd have been happier to have discovered this fact before his crew were trapped on this back-water planet called Malrev 4. Now Rogue Squadron is in the middle of a firing ground, between a twisted, self-styled "Lord of the Sith" who calls Malrev 4 his home and the leader of the spies, Girov, who desires the planet, its great temple, and all its power for his own!

Concluding the epic battle between the Rogue Squadron Rebels and the Sith-tainted Imperials! A member of Rogue Squadron makes the ultimate sacrifice in this concluding chapter of Requiem for a Rogue!

It should be an easy mission for Rogue Squadron -- a simple search-and-rescue of a group of castaways forced down to Malrev 4. But when they reach the backwater planet, the Rogues find themselves attacked by the bestial Irrukiine and then by the Bothans themselves. There's something strange going down on Malrev 4.

Cela ressemblait à une mission de routine pour le célèbre Escadron Rogue : porter assistance à un groupe de naufragés de l'espace contraint d'atterrir sur la planète inhospitalière de Malrev 4. Alors qu'ils s'enfoncent dans les marais, les pilotes rebelles sont attaqués par le puissant Irrukiine, puis par les tribus de Bothans qui peuplent la planète. Une force obscure est à l'oeuvre...

Quelques semaines après les événements de l'Épisode VI. En dépit de la mort de l'Empereur, des terroristes impériaux lancent une attaque dévastatrice contre la planète Corellia et capturent un membre du célèbre Rogue Squadron. Wedge Antilles, leader de l'escadron et héros de l'Alliance depuis la bataille d'Endor, lui porte secours aux côtés de Luke Skywalker?

Shot down from the bloody skies of Brentaal, Baron Soontir Fel has been captured by the Rebel Alliance. But from the shadowed recesses of a Rebel interrogation chamber, The Empire's greatest fighter ace tells a story of the deception and corruption beneath the Empire's orderly surface . . . and sets the stage for his own defection to the Alliance!

The Battle of Endor (from Return of the Jedi) was never fought -- it was just so much Alliance propaganda. At least, that's the lie being spread by members of the AEA (Ante-Endor Association). But Wedge Antilles and his Rogue Squadron comrades know the truth. They were at Endor when so many of their friends and colleagues gave their lives to destroy the second Death Star. And so, for those lost friends, this is a battle they will not fail.

If Wedge Antilles can't persuade the alien Mrlssti to sell their cloaking device to the New Republic, the result could be disaster. And that's just what Wedge expects when he discovers that the negotiating party includes Loka Hask -- the pirate chieftain who killed Wedge's parents!

A cloaking device isn't easy to come by -- even a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. But when the members of Rogue Squadron try to pick one up from the super-scientific alien inventors known as the Mrlssti, they find they've been accused of every crime from burglary to murder, and that the Empire will stop at nothing to bring them in!

The residents of Mrlsst should have learned their lesson long ago, when a noble Jedi sacrificed himself that the Empire might leave the Academy unharmed -- nobody wins when you play in politics. But old lessons are easily forgotten in the heat of war. Over the years, the Academy has become a snakepit of secrets and plotting, and students and professors fight each other and one another. And now they're about to get a refresher course, the kind that's taught with blood and fire. Unfortunately for Wedge and the Rogue Squadron crew, the lesson comes just as they arrive on Mrlsst.

The Battle of Endor was never fought -- it was just so much Alliance propaganda. At least, that's the lie being spread by the Ante-Endor Association. But Wedge Antilles and his Rogue Squadron comrades know the truth. They were at Endor when so many gave their lives to destroy the second Death Star. And so, for those lost friends, this is a battle they will not lose.

Wedge Antilles is a combat-hardened X-Wing pilot, one of the only fliers to survive the missions against both Death Stars. After those two assignments and his post as leader of Rogue Squadron, you'd think he'd seen everything. But when he heads a rescue and retrieval for a downed man on the planet Mrisst, he finds something he'd never expected: a culture that hates the Empire... and hates the Alliance even more!

When Rogue Squadron leader Wedge Antilles is downed in a bloody battle against Imperial All-Terrain Scout Transports, he is forced to form an uneasy alliance with the Cilpari natives, whose dislike for the Rebels is only dwarfed by their hatred for the Empire. Wedge must regroup Rogue Squadron before the Cilpari alliance is shattered, and rejoin the battle to save the galaxy!

Tycho Celchu has infiltrated the Imperial Forces. Now he can communicate vital strategic information that will give the Rebellion an upper hand! But when he's pressed to lead a raid on his old Rogue Squadron teammates, he must choose between saving his comrades and serving the cause.

Tycho Celchu must make the hardest decision of his lifetime: choosing between saving his friends and supporting his cause. Disguised as an Imperial fighter pilot, Rogue Squadron flyer Tycho Celchu has successfully infiltrated the Imperial troops. But success turns sour when his TIE fighter unit encounters Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron! If he abandons his post with the Imperial fighters, he abandons the cause of the New Republic; but if he stands his ground, he risks killing his comrades. Either way this Rebel plays, he plays a losing game . . .

The squadron's roster has contained Corellian heroes and Alderaanian fighter aces, but when the royal court of Eiattu comes to reclaim their princess from the ranks of Rogue Squadron, it's a surprise to everyone . . . especially the princess!

When the royal court of Eiattu came to Rogue Squadron to collect their princess -- Plourr Ilo, who was unaware of her heritage -- they did so to help put an end to their planet's internal rebellion. They reasoned that a strong figurehead might pull the people together -- what they couldn't know was that a strong-willed princess might have her own view of how things should be run.

Crown, crown -- who's got the crown? Plourr Ilo has reluctantly taken it on, but finds being a princess can be even rougher than being a warrior. Her brother instead wants to destroy the crown, not knowing that his own lover intends to claim -- not only the crown, but the planet -- for herself! And as the different factions battle it out, the Empire waits in the wings, waiting to claim whatever remains. But standing in their way is the fabled Rogue Squadron -- and they've decided to take out the Empire, one TIE fighter at a time!

This man making a bid for the throne of the Royal Citadel of Eiattu -- this man who would lead the Peoples' Liberation Battalion to rule this world -- claims to be the brother of the current ruler, Princess Plourr. But Plourr knows -- with great certainty -- that this cannot be. To reveal the truth might destroy his power, but it could, in turn, destroy her as well.

Rogue X-wing pilot Plourr is requested to return to her home planet . . . as a princess! While attempting to stop an internal rebellion, the planet's government finds that she may have her own way of running things.
