As the Rebel Alliance prepares for the Battle of Endor, Leia Organa secretly dispatches Amilyn Holdo on a vital mission to the Outer Rim's Chyron Belt, a contingency plan in case the attack on the second Death Star fails. Accompanied by her Wookie companion, Atuarre, Holdo is tasked with securing the exoplanet Chyron-7. However, Emperor Palpatine learns of this plan through a spy and sends veteran Imperial commander, Aguir Deraz, to crush Holdo’s expedition before it can succeed. With Deraz’s fleet unleashing an onslaught, Holdo and Atuarre must rely on guerrilla tactics, the belt's unique terrain, and unexpected allies including smugglers and a defected Imperial officer, to survive. As the battle for Endor rages elsewhere, Holdo’s fight becomes a critical second front, pitting her cunning and resilience against one of the Empire’s deadliest tacticians.
