Line 1:
{{
Yesterday, the Death Star was destroyed, and Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader slain... But today is business as usual, and the Rebels have business helping the Empire. Endor is, unfortunately, the closest inhabited system to the Bakura system, which is under attack by a previously-unknown alien race called the Ssi-ruuk. Whilst there, Luke falls in love with a girl who considers him, as a user of the Force, an abomination.
Holds the distinction of being the tenth EU novel [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bantam_Spectra published by Bantam], being published months after ''[[The Thrawn Trilogy]]'' and ''[[The Glove of Darth Vader]]''. It's the first set after ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''. Along with ''[[The Thrawn Trilogy]]'', '''''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bantam_Spectra The Truce at Bakura]''''' is often cited as being one of the best starting points for readers who want to get into the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]].

▲* [[An Officer and A Gentleman]]: Commander Thanas.
* [[Author Appeal]]: Kathy Tyers was raised in a fundamentalist background, so she knows about religious conflicts, such as the one between Luke and Gaeriel.
* [[Balance Between Good and Evil]]: Gaeri's religion deals with this primarily. They believe that Force-users are evil because they aggregate too much power. (With Palpatine and Vader as examples, the [[Straw Man Has a Point]].)
* [[
* [[Dropped a Bridge
* [[Enemy Mine]]: the whole point of the [[Title Drop|Truce at Bakura]] is an Imperial world being threatened by alien invaders.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Fantastic Racism]]:
** Bakurans hate all nonhumans, mistaking Mon Calamari for Ssi-ruuk infiltrators.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: From hating the Rebels to mistrusting them but working together to betraying them.
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Gaeriel has one green eye and one brown eye.
* [[New Powers
* [[Powered
* [[Raised
* [[Reality Ensues]]: as this novel starts about 24 hours after ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' ends, it's the first story to deal with Han and Leia's [[Relationship Upgrade]]. The road is bumpy.
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: The Ssi-ruuk.
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens]]: The Ssi-ruuk are the first major example of this in the EU- but what's ''really'' scary is that horrible as they are, they ''aren't'' the [[New Jedi Order|scariest or most dogmatic...]]
* [[Space Is Cold]]: When Wedge is hanging in space with his hand crushed, he's suffering from both blood loss and advancing hypothermia/frostbite. Of course, he ''was'' out there for some time. Long enough for Luke to dress, jump in his X-Wing, and get into orbit, at least.
* [[Spell My Name
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Well Done Daughter Girl]]: Inverted. Leia is visited by her father's spirit. She's horrified. He wants her forgiveness. She won't give it.
* [[Your Approval Fills Me
