Set between A New Hope and The Empire StrikesBack, Darth Vader is operating under immense pressure. Having been strippedof his official standing in the Imperial Military by Emperor Palpatine aspunishment for the destruction of the Death Star, Vader decides to build hisown secret, independent army to track down Luke Skywalker.

Using the Force, Vader helps Aphra unlock the stolen matrixto reactivate 0-0-0 (Triple-Zero), a protocol droid specialized in etiquette,customs, and brutal torture.
