Quick recap
Vader keeps his private plan going. With Doctor Aphra, the droids Triple-Zero and BeeTee-One and a crew of bounty hunters, he pulls a heist to drain credits and resources from the Empire itself without anyone tracing it back. The problem is Inspector Thanoth, a sharp officer sent to look into the theft, who starts putting the pieces together. At the same time, Vader has to deal with Cylo and his cyborgs, rivals the Emperor has been grooming. The volume ends with Vader covering his tracks and closer to finding young Skywalker.
