![]() They know something is up on Akiva, with the increased presence of the Stormtroopers and whatnot, but they don’t know what exactly. The protagonists of the novel are a motley few who eventually band together against their common enemy, the Empire. ![]() Whether or not he is a force sensitive individual isn’t divulged, but he does appear to worship the Dark Side and the Sith. He apparently was an advisor to Palpatine. Although there are other Imperials of import at this summit, the most interesting would definitely be Yupe Tashu who has an interesting fascination with the Dark Side of the force. I have a feeling she will be used in some capacity in the coming movie. She’s up there with Grand Moff Tarkin as one of my favorite Imperials. Rae Sloane, who first appeared in A New Dawn, is back – and she’s pretty awesome. And although that term is never actually mentioned, we do get a feel of how that eventually develops.
