Synopsis
A squad of Rebel soldiers, led by Luke Skywalker, INFILTRATE an Empire-run fueling depot in an attempt to steal much-needed fuel and rescue a valuable prisoner.
The Rebels are accepted as Imperial officers and allowed to on base under restrictions. The mission is also complicated by the revelation of prisoners from a planet, Jabim, that that the Rebels had lost to the Imperials very recently.
The focus of previous stories, Lt. Sunber, had been on Jabim just recently. The loss of many of his men against the Rebels and the disheatening way the prisoners are treated make him question his role in the Imperial army.
There is also the problem that Sunber is a close childhood friend of Luke Skywalker...
