Now… a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… Darth Vader and the Lost Command! Still haunted by the events in Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader is tasked with a mission to locate a lost Imperial expeditionary force-led by the son of Vader’s rising nemesis, Moff Tarkin. But the perils of Vader’s journey into the unexplored Ghost Nebula are compounded by traitors among his crew and the presence of the system’s religious leader, Lady Saro.

Story/Spoilers
In part #1, “Darth Vader in Command!”, Still haunted by the death of Anakin Skywalker’s beloved Padmae in Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader must set aside his past and put his future on hold for a mission to the mysterious Ghost Nebula to locate-and if possible, rescue-a missing Imperial expeditionary force. But what seems a perfect opportunity to lose himself in his duty is complicated by two factors: he is paired with a willful yet highly competent co-commander, and the officer they are being sent to locate is the son of Vader’s rising nemesis, Moff Tarkin.

Next in part #2, “Attack Positions!”, Vader in command! Darth Vader steps up his attacks when his invasion of the Ghost Nebula meets with stiff resistance. But when a courageous beauty offers her help in conquering the system, visions of what his life might have been if he had not betrayed the Jedi and if Padmé was still alive affect the dark lord’s decisions.

Next in part #3, “Darth Vader on the Attack!”, Haunted by recurring visions of what his life with Padmé might have been like if he had not succumbed to the dark side, and guided by the Ghost Nebula’s mysterious priestess, Vader and his troops become embroiled in a disastrous battle on a tar-pit world. Worse, the hard-fought battle brings Vader no closer to locating Moff Tarkin’s missing son-but it does put him in the deadly sights of a traitor!

Next in part #4, “Vader Betrayed! –  Somebody is going to be sorry!”, An attempt on his life leaves Vader and a handful of loyal troops trapped on a desolate world. Despite the deadly perils posed by the environment and attacks from his mysterious enemy, Vader will not veer from his duty. But what if the reason for his mission is negated? And what do these visions of Padmé mean to Vader’s future?

Finally in part #5, “Vader will not be Challenged!”, The final battle with the insurgents brings a resolution to the mystery of Moff Tarkin’s son. Vader resolves the entire mission in a way that only he, the darkest lord of the Sith, can!
