    Summary

    The Yevetha wanted a message.
    They took Han Solo and General Arden Lynn—two of the New Republic’s most stubborn survivors—and dragged them into the heart of the Duskhan League to carve that message into flesh and fear.

    For Han, captivity becomes a test of endurance, a battle to protect the people beside him when he can barely stay upright.
    For Arden, it’s a descent into a nightmare she’s survived before—but never like this. Nil Spaar’s cruelty shatters more than her body; it threatens the part of her that has kept her alive through war after war. When their torture is broadcast across the galaxy, Leia faces her own reckoning as she hunts the traitor who delivered them into enemy hands.

    But Arden Lynn has never stayed broken.
    With the ship burning around her, she claws her way out of the Pride of Yevetha, rescued by Wookiees in a storm of fire and vengeance.

     

    And as the New Republic launches its final strike into the Koornacht Cluster, Arden forces herself back into uniform for one last battle—armed with the Fallanassi’s illusions, a fractured fleet, and the last of her strength.

    Summary

    War tightens its grip on the New Republic as political fractures deepen—and Arden Lynn becomes the target of a conspiracy she cannot see. Stripped of her command, reassigned under Han Solo, and pushed into a deadly mission on a route she didn’t choose, Arden senses a pattern forming in the shadows.

    But she doesn’t realize she’s already on someone’s board.

    Across the galaxy, every loyalty will be tested, every bond strained, and every hidden agenda pulled into the open as the conspiracy accelerates into a full-scale crisis.

    This isn’t the Black Fleet Crisis as you remember it.

    Summary

    The New Republic stands proud—and dangerously blind.

    As political tensions tighten around Chief of State Leia Organa Solo, whispers of an ancient Imperial fleet stir across the stars. When intelligence analyst Arden Lynn is assigned to the Fifth Fleet on the eve of its deployment, she expects politics, pressure, and hard decisions.

    She does not expect sabotage.

    Used as a pawn by an unseen traitor, Arden finds herself framed for an unauthorized probe mission and forced out of her position—right as Fleet data begins to vanish, ships go dark, and subtle manipulations push Leia and Ackbar to the brink of conflict. With trust crumbling within the government, Arden must rely on the few allies she has left:

     

    But the Yevetha are watching.
    The New Republic is fracturing.

    Summary

    Life’s love knots twisted and hissed around Luke, coiling heat in air thick and cool enough to just nearly simulate drowning. It had all happened so fast, had gone from routine to a nightmare at the flip of a chit; he could hardly himself recall what had gone wrong, only that he had watched status lights in the cockpit wink red as alarms clawed in his mind and bled his ears, the compartment airclock slamming shut with one neck-breaking impact and a coolant line breaking free on the second and whipping him across the face as he puzzled over how cool metal felt embedded in his skin, how it caressed him like drochs burrowing through bone–

    And then, he was here.

    ---

    Or, Luke does the little he can to hold himself and Streen together after a ship crash leaves him fatally injured.

    Summary

    As a heads up, this is the grimmest, darkest, most angst filled, and traumatic of the series. It has a happy ending though.

    So, this is Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy Luke: the Luke who actually does abandon his family and the galaxy in a moment of apocalyptic threat in order to lick his many wounds. This Luke then gets conned by a woman named Akanah into a tacky little affair on a scam of a hunt for his mother but we’re not going that far.

    He starts out his little pity party holed up in an old fortress of Vader’s in some, apparently uninhabited, part of Coruscant where even Leia can't find him. I think a certain ST writer/director was quite fond of this Luke.

    So here is some catharsis for me and anyone else who watched TLJ and thought, “You know who Luke needs to hear from right now while he’s brooding over his grief and failures?

    Mara.”
