After devastating losses at the hands of the First Order, General Leia Organa has dispatched her agents across the galaxy in search of allies, sanctuary and firepower - and her top spy, Vi Moradi, may have just found all three, on a secluded world at the galaxy’s edge.
A planet of lush forests, precarious mountains and towering petrified trees, Batuu is on the farthest possible frontier of the galactic map, the last settled world before the mysterious expanse of Wild space. The rogues, smugglers and adventurers who eke out a living in the largest settlement on the planet, Black Spire Outpost,mare here to avoid prying eyes and unnecessary complications. Vi, a Resistance spy on the run from the first Order, is hardly a welcome guest. And when a shuttle full of stormtroopers lands in her wake, determined to root her out, she has no idea where to find help.
To survive, Vi will have to seek out the good-heated heroes hiding in a world that redefines scum and villainy. With the help of a traitorous trooper and her acerbic droid, she begins to gather a colourful band of outcasts and misfits, and embarks ona mission to spark the fire of resistance on Batuu - before then first Order snuffs it out entirely.
