Star Wars: From the Ashes

In the gripping finale to the Reign of the Empire trilogy, set during the events of Andor, Rogue One, and A New Hope, a united Rebel Alliance finally rises to stand against the Empire.

Nearly two decades into its reign, the Empire’s power continues to grow, fueled by Emperor Palpatine’s insatiable desire for total control. United against the unrelenting crush of Imperial might, factions of insurgents have finally banded together as the Rebel Alliance.

After an early Alliance base is discovered and routed by Imperial forces, the scattered leadership of Bail Organa and Mon Mothma races to establish a new secret headquarters on a remote jungle moon: Yavin 4.

But building a base requires more than a safe location; security demands discipline, discipline requires hierarchy, and hierarchy enforces secrecy. And the strain proves that forming an Alliance is one thing, sustaining it quite another. Some leaders, like Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera, refuse to join the Yavin coalition, warning of the danger in consolidating resources. And for Gerrera, suspicions grow about the loyalty of his allies, who more and more label him an extremist as the Empire has for so long.

Despite the division within, and the endless hunt by Imperial agents, the Rebellion endures. Mon, Bail, and their allies can sense the long night of the Empire is ending, even if not all those who have fought for it will live to see the sunrise. As the Rebels make their stand above Yavin 4, hope emerges anew as the fate of the galaxy reaches a turning point.
