Sergeant Kreel and SCAR Squad are on board the Harbinger…and they specialize in taking down rebels — hard! Can Luke and company make it off the Star Destroyer alive?[1]

Opening crawl[]

Book V, Part IV
THE LAST FLIGHT OF THE HARBINGER 
It is a time of renewed hope for the Rebel Alliance
as heroic rebel soldiers strive to undermine Imperial
forces throughout the galaxy.

The Alliance puts its heroes, pilot Luke Skywalker,
Princess Leia, and smuggler-turned-soldier Han Solo,
at the helm of a major mission to rescue an ally
planet, Tureen VII. The first step: capture a massive
Star Destroyer – a ship with a crew of a thousand and
the might of the Empire behind it.

The Rebel seizure of the Star Destroyer attracts the
attention of Darth Vader, who dispatches an elite
group of stormtroopers – led by the bloodthirsty
Sergeant Kreel – to retake it. Leia, Luke, Han, and
a skeleton crew of rebels prepare to face the fight
that awaits them at Tureen VII....

Plot summary[]

On board the stolen Star Destroyer, the crew is in a dire situation. Leia Organa receives an update from Han Solo: the hyperdrive is still down, the backup reactor is at risk of overloading, and the engines and shields are failing. The ion cannons have also gone offline, with a maintenance crew missing from their posts. Over the comms, Luke Skywalker and Sana Starros, who are investigating, discuss their slim chances. Starros, in particular, has a bad feeling, noting that someone knows they are there and doesn't care.

Despite Han's pleas to stop for repairs, Leia insists they are too close to their objective. She believes that their greatest weapon is surprise, and their forty-million-ton ship is all the cannon they need. Unbeknownst to them, R2-D2 has found an anomaly in the ship's systems. Outside the vessel, the bodies of dead rebels float ominously in space.

Suddenly, an explosion on the bridge sends Leia flying. Stormtroopers led by someone named Misty and a group in the engine room, including Trooper Zuke, open fire, revealing they've infiltrated the ship. Luke confronts a stormtrooper with a green lightsaber who claims they have fought before, and Chewbacca appears to take on Trooper Zuke. Luke recognizes the trooper as the gamemaster from Grakkus's arena, but the trooper corrects him, identifying himself as Sergeant Kreel of Scar Squadron. The troopers reveal that the Star Destroyer, the Harbinger, is on a collision course with other Star Destroyers.

As the Harbinger crashes into the Imperial ships, a large force of TIE Fighters arrives, including the ship of Darth Vader himself, who joins the battle.
