The second event is the treason trial of Rogue Squadron executive officer Tycho Celchu, who is suspected of murdering Rogue Squadron pilot Corran Horn, who was captured during the invasion.įinally, Corran Horn is being held prisoner by Ysanne Isard in her Lusankya prison facility. This, combined with Imperial Intelligence officer Kirtan Loor's terrorist activities while taking orders from the Palpatine Counterinsurgency Front, leaves Coruscant and the New Republic in a state of emergency.

Humans are apparently immune, while all other species are vulnerable. The virus used in the attack is the Krytos virus, a biological weapon developed by General Evir Derricote and released under the orders of Imperial leader Ysanne Isard. The first is the occupation of Coruscant and the trouble the Empire left behind with its crippling bio-attack on the planet. The plot focuses on three key events that happen mostly simultaneously. As the X-wing fighters scramble to save the Rebellion, Corran Horn, given up for dead in Ysanne Isard's inescapable prison, discovers he alone holds the key to freeing Coruscant from the Empire! Plot summary While agents provocateurs carry out their acts of terrorism, the fledging state can be defended only by the blood and courage of Rogue Squadron.

At the center of the storm is the highly charged treason trial of Rebel hero Tycho Celchu. A killer virus called Krytos is wiping out the indigenous population, and a counter-revolution is exploding. The Rebels have taken Coruscant, but their problems are far from over.
