Over a decade into the Empire's reign, life under imperial rule has become routine, and the days of the Republic have long passed into memory. Within the Senate, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa face dwindling influence, as there is no difference between the will of the Emperor and the direction of his Empire. Bail increasingly shifts his focus to support clandestine resistance efforts, knowing a successful fight against the Empire will come from beyond the halls of power. Meanwhile, Mon Mothma sees one chance to take a stand when she makes a horrifying discovery about the lengths the regime will go to weaponize truth and loyalty. The Empire's newest target is the next generation raised under the Emperor's deepening shadow, including Mon and Bail's daughters. Across the galaxy, disparate rebel factions are rendered outcasts, branded criminals, and pitted against each other. On Ghorman, an idealistic student group seeks to make meaningful change, unaware of the ISB agent who seeks to sabotage them from the inside. Leaders like Saw Gerrera and Anto Kreegyr squabble and bargain to survive one more day against the crush of Imperial might. Trust is rare and betrayal quick, and a distracted, disorganized resistance is easy to snuff out. There are few heroes and no alliances. When one of Gerrera's partisans is captured by the Empire, time is running out for senators, outcasts, spies, and all those who desire a better tomorrow. What the prisoner knows could help the Empire eradicate any whisper of resistance, end any rebellion before it can truly begin, and ensure that the Empire's truth is all the galaxy will ever know.
