In the previous comic, the Emperor has a mission for Vader on Shu-Torun which hasn't been producing as much ore as it should have. When Vader arrives he finds not the king but his youngest daughter, Princess Trios has been left in charge. She tries to explain to Vader that the Ore Dukes is the problem. The Empire has upped its amount needed and the Dukes are balking at how much is being asked of them to produce since it is difficult and how much they are being paid. Vader and Queen Trios must bring the Dukes to heel and they try by destroying one of the Duke's delving citadel that was built centuries ago and will never produce again. The Emperor didn't send Vader alone on this quest. He sent Cylo who double-crosses Vader and helps the Dukes in order to get Vader out of the way and have his place next to the Emperor. So Vader and his Imperial Army are not there to help Queen Trios when she goes up against the Duke. She has to somehow get the Army to listen to her and obey her and fight for her and go ahead with the plan and hope that Vader will be able to help, but if not she will fight to the death. During this comic, Vader keeps getting reports on Dr. Alpha's whereabouts. Vader also came to this planet with Alpha's trusted droids 000 and Beetee.
Cyclo, one of the doctors who had saved Anakin and made him into Vader is a brilliant scientist whom the Emperor fostered his talent as well as his compatriots. But Cylo, who has created copies of himself in order to take out Vader, must now be taken out himself for he has grown too ambitious. `
While Vader goes after Cylo, he leaves 000 and Beetee with a mission to complete. Find Alpha and bring her back in. Kill her if necessary. Vader has had her working on the Skywalker situation and he can't have her telling anyone about it. 000 and Beetee have quite the adventure trying to find Alpha. As usual, it's hilarious. And when they do find her they attack the town hunting her down with a droid army until she ends their fun by surrendering.
Vader fights Cylo's scientist Voidgazer who leaves a parting gift. Then he must face the clones before he can face Cylo himself. There's a magnificent bit of storytelling that takes Vader back to Mustafar and his fight with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padme. It's quite powerful. Will Alpha survive Vader's fear of her talking or will she find a way to talk her way out of him killing her? Alpha is an interesting character in that she's really smart and a good reader of people and not just a good droid fixer but someone who respects them. In this comic, we find out the history of 000 and Beetee and it's a cool one. This was a really great book and I give it five out of five stars.
