Quick recap
After Han's auction, Crimson Dawn steps out of the shadows. Qi'ra, the same one from Solo, reveals the syndicate isn't after money: it wants war with the Empire. She activates sleeper agents across the galaxy and sends two assassins on special missions, Ochi of Bestoon and the mysterious Deathstick. Rebels, bounty hunters and Imperials try to figure out how big the threat is and which side to take. The story runs from the underworld to the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, where the Emperor starts paying attention. The volume ends with Qi'ra's war declared and her plan only half done; it comes back later.
