Part of the deluge of new additions to the ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]'' that accompanied ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'', this six-issue miniseries is an interesting one; it's one of the relatively few stories to feature Boba Fett as the main character before much had been established about the Mandalorians and, more importantly, it takes place prior to the expansion of Fett's backstory in ''[[Attack of the Clones]]''.

Boba Fett is hired by Darth Vader to locate and execute an Imperial deserter named Abal Karda, who shot dead his commanding officer and absconded. However, it soon becomes clear that the Dark Lord's interest does not lie with Karda, but in the [[MacGuffin|plain, kneebshide casket]] that the Colonel took with him when he went on the run; Fett is to return this mysterious box unopened or suffer consequences.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: While this is typically Emperor Palpatine's defining characteristic, this story shows that Darth Vader is just as good at playing his minions off against one another.

* [[The Neidermeyer]]: General Nim.
